I agree. The defense wasnt overly talented to begin with but then you let the better talent leave and replace it with lesser talent. Of course the defense is going to suffer and become worse because of this.
The same thing would apply to the offense. You cant lose talent from the offense and think the offense is going to be better because of it. We can use Higgins as the example. If he leaves, the offense is not going to be as good. You cant let talent like that leave and think there will be no drop off on offense. What you can do however if Tee leaves is take that money Tee would have made and bring in a couple of good guards which would make the offensive line better. You may lose in one area but gain in another. What the Bengals cant do is let Tee walk, bring in lesser talent at the WR position and do nothing else on offense.
