2 things Bengals must do

Jenkins was an elite run defender in college and the best scoring DT on run defense in the draft. Rankins is capable against the run. So is Hill. Jackson likewise has high run stopping upside. The reason it looks thin right now is Jackson is rehabbing. Tufele will need to be our stopgap there. At Edge Hubbard is upper tier run defense. Murphy is already solid at this. Johnson is raw but has the tools. Hendrickson is weak against the run. Another veteran NT would be a good thing but you can see their focus is retooling the DL.

Run offense has more than one cause. The major one is probably the mismatch between player and scheme we had at RB. The Texans run a scheme better suited to Mixon's strengths. This is why I expect he will be good for them. On the other hand Moss is a far better scheme fit for us. He should do well for us. I would like to see another RB here in a thumper mold but again you can see here the focus is aligning player and scheme.

Rankins is defitniely a pass rushing DT, his run stop game has been shaky the last few seasons.

I agree that Jenkins showed promise.

I expect very, very little from Jackson this entire season.
