that we could find a DT better than Carter that is for damn sure. I still like Tufele a bit so hoping he gets back to his play from 
before last year but Carter has the one run stop against the Vikings last year and that is about it. He hasn't shown pass rush at 
least nothing us Geno Atkins Bengals fans were used to.

I thought you were gonna bring up the trade for BJ Hill before bringing up Billings lol.
I think Tufele is fine for the last DT spot while Jackson is on the mend.
Once Jackson is back, assess who is more valuable to the team - Tufele or Carter.

Given the TE situation, maybe the Bengals could trade one of their TEs to a team with some IDL depth and make it a win-win for both teams.
I personally think though let's give Carter this year before moving on. He is only in his 3rd year and we knew he needed to develop more coming out of college being a tweener. Carter was more of a (3-4) DE coming out of college anyway. He might not quite have the sand in his pants to handle IDL on a full-time basis.
