I think our starting safeties are really, really underrated...maybe by bengals fans and definitely nationally
With all the talk about needing plenty of specialism with D Line rotations, extra CB's for nickel/dime packages, Pass covering LB's as well as run stuffers....Iloka and Nelson are always on the field and making solid contributions.
Basically for the past 3 years we've had a 5th rounder and a guy we picked up in a trade with a practice squad CB hold it down for us whilst we've consistently had good defenses going to the playoffs.
I think we should thank our lucky stars for them as they rarely miss games and have thus far allowed us to invest high draft picks elsewhere in the team.
