We just extended TWO LBs coming off of very good seasons.
We replaced Bates with a 1st Rounder that had a year to learn.
We replaced Apple with CTB.
We replaced Bell with a Super Bowl starter.
If Lou such an awesome D Coord we should have dont better, especially since he is defensive back specialist.
We were just bad on D, offense always sputters at times, and we couldnt win field position with our punter.
The Bengals total cap hit for the defensive line is 43.1 million. The offensive line takes up 44.6 million of the cap so the Bengals are spending more money for the offensive line than they are the defensive line. The offensive line is one of the top paid in the NFL. Joe Burrow just signed a contract that makes him the highest paid player in the NFL. At WR the Bengals have two #1s including a 3 time Pro Bowler. Joe Mixon stands a good chance at making another Pro Bowl this year as 1st alternate. The offense has a ton of talent and the Bengals organization has spent a lot of money and plans to spend even more and the best this offense can do is #20 in scoring? and you want to complain about how horrible the defense is being ranked #21 in scoring when the offense is #20? The question should be why cant the offense get the job done. Zero points against K.C. in the 2nd half and 11 total against Pittsburgh the week before when a playoff spot has been on the line.
