This defense needs a guy like that, and I don't see Stone's speed and athleticism being able to do it.
I felt like Rankins & Stone were always big risks.
Rankins is a classic Bengals/no scouts/he played well against us so we'll sign him move.
And Stone played S for a pressure heavy team.
And Trent Brown is out for the year.
Almost a total whiff in FA. On top of lising Reader.
I feel better about me C/C- take on it every day. Though I hope Rankins & Stone & Bell can turn it around.
I felt/feel a bitter better about the draft. I liked Mins, Jenkins, and Jackson from jump. And All has been a pleasant surprise (a pick I was not happy with at the time).
