Battle back in there could really help at Safety.
You are correct, the Defense needs to string 3 good plays together is all, not like Lamar wasn't playing very good and when he is
playing very good everybody knows he is hard to stop especially when he is passing well out of the pocket.
I just find it laughable that people are saying this Defense cannot improve. They have been historically bad and have been beat up
and are extremely young. I find it much more likely they improve than continue to suck worse.
Back to the thread though, Chase is playing great and we should of paid the man what he wanted before the season. He will be more
spendy after this year is still my opinion.
I didn't say they couldn't or wouldn't improve. I said i don't see the pressure rate increasing significantly and that limits how much they can improve.
But yes Chase is proving why he needs paid. We should have paid him already but the Bengals are a bottom of the league FO. Just think if we had signed Bates before we tagged him or if we had signed Higgins after his 3rd season.
