I will say that when Pratt was a 2 down LB in 2022 his coverage grades were excellent, last year as a 3 down LB he dropped in every category.

Who is the bengals leader of the 2024 defense? What is the identity? I honestly think the talent is there for this defense to be the best yet, due to athleticism, youth, RAS. That said, there just isn’t “that guy” that is the field general on the defensive side of the ball (at least not that I can see). I guess someone could grow into it, but it really comes down to your LB or S position to get everyone lined up on every play. Maybe battle takes the leap?
