Is Shemar holding out?

Mike Brown and Family have the idea that they paid Burrow, Chase, Higgins and that's all they need.  WRONG.  Bengals will get beat bad on defense, and you can't win if the defense stinks.  Could have used Hendrickson or at least the top draft pick, but Mike Brown & Family aren't even negotiating, Bengals just won't have either of them.  Well, Mike Brown is more famous for 4 win seasons than he is for play-off winning seasons. 

The sad thing is that with a good defense the Bengals could go back to Super Bowl.  Even Mahomes of Chiefs say he hopes Bengals don't sign Hendrickson or the #1 pick, because Bengals would be hard to beat if they had a god defense.   Mike Brown & Family should be thinking Super Bowl, but they aren't, and we can see they aren't. 

They won't even win at Cleveland. In fact they might get clobbered. Bengals take their normal loss in week 1.  Cleveland 34, Bengals 20 and another 0-1 start as usual. 

Yeah, it's tough to beat anyone that has a God Defense.... I expect our defense to be much improved this year with McKinley and Jenkins having a year under their belt, Knight replacing Pratt, and the DB's (especially Stone) thriving under Golden instead of struggling to understand Lou's coverages.
