I'm not so sure.  What has happened to our defensive line in virtually every one of the five playoff games?  The other team can go maximum protection and the Bengals got little to no pass rush generated.  It takes more than just one or two really good linemen.  Look at how the Giants won their two Super Bowls over the Pats.  They had such a deep rotation and that "NASCAR" package that blew up the middle.  The Bengals have talent but I have said many times that they needed another force at DE.  Adding Billings to push the pocket next to Geno was a nice step, but I would really have liked having Freeney on passing downs.
