True, Rankins has been rank lol
The most disappointing FA acquisition to me, because I at the very least thought he would bring a good pass rush.
Kris Jenkins has been much better and is a rookie.

The other side of the coin is the Steelers also have a good enough front office that have quality 2nd string DL to at least get them through the tough time. Evidently the Bengals do not. Even with the DL back, teams are walking through our defense like it's butter. So again, you can blame injuries but I think this goes deeper than injuries.
Cannot disagree TJ, we are not near as talented as the stealers DL is. Still, to lose that number of players early in the season is devastating
no matter the Defensive Line.
