Personally, I'm glad that the Bengals addressed DL needs today, kind of impressed with them actually. (last year they sat on their hands until the cupboard was empty) We should have a really solid rotation, as I expect the young guys to take a step forward this year.
I haven't watched the ND games close enough, but was he running primarily a 3-4 with rushing OLBs?
If so, I'm curious to see how the defense morphs.
Maybe we could see a DL of Hill-Slaton-Jenkins/Jackson with Hendrickson and whomever at OLB with Pratt and Wilson as ILBs.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
