The first two picks are a question mark for how much they can help us in the first year but we added some other guys that can help right away and those tackles should pay off big time in a couple of years. The biggest problem with the team is still Andy Dalton. He is the make or break guy every single season and it is always the latter. I hope he does well which leads to the team making a postseason run. However, if he disappears in the biggest moments again then I just pray Mike Brown will get his head out of his ass and look for an upgrade finally. Dalton's contract is structured for him to have a big season or go. We kept Leon Hall at $10 million dollars this season instead of working out a restructure so I don't have a ton of faith in ever seeing Dalton let go if he sucks again.

It was solid, but they said it was going to be aggressive. It wasn't. Not even close.

Yes, Dalton is an issue, but LAST season, the defense was certainly the biggest issue. The pass rush was horrendous, and the run d wasn't exactly the '85 Bears. We didn't really make a splash there when we should have. Peko is past his prime, imo, Geno and Burfict are still huge questions that we don't really know the answers to, and the depth at DE is "experimental". Yes, MJ and Sims were solid pickups, but not aggressive ones, and as far as questions go, are we sure MJ is going to return to form? He looked like shit last season. Hawk? That's a joke, imo.
