We had DJ Reader here last year and we just didn't have that mean streak we had the couple years before because of youngsters
and a terrible player (Nick Scott) starting on Defense in the Secondary and ruining our communication. Injuries to Logan Wilson, Sam
Hubbard and Joe Burrow on Offense completely hampered our physicality on both sides of the ball.
Sure, these are excuses but you try and play physical ball on Offense being in the Shotgun 100% of the time early in the season and
hurt Captain type players on Defense that have new players around them, good luck.
We can be just as physical in the AFC North as any team I agree, but these things hamper you. Good luck Ravens having Roquan,
Hamilton and the entire running game on Offense injured and still remaining as physical as you want to be.
In the end we have Burrow healthy for once and when he is healthy and we get into the Playoffs we win more times than not unlike
Lamar and the Ravens and the rest of the AFC North.
