And the nose tackle situation

I know the pass rushing numbers look bad but its mostly been because they havent been able to stop the run. The teams that run heavy packages and commit to the run have tested the Bengals DL depth this year and it was mostly ugly. Once the Bengals are forced to commit more to the box to stop the run it opens up the 1 on 1 play action especially all the middle of the field TE stuff we seen this year. The Cardinals game is a perfect example bad offense but because they ran a ton of 3 TE heavy packages they just chipped at the Bengals DL depth the entire game and had plenty of 1 on 1 play action opportunities because of it.
