Aside from OL, what position group do the Bengals need most improvement?

The defensive line has a lot of question marks at DT of the future.  DeShawn Williams, Hardison, and Billings are all unprovens.  I could see a cast away veteran FA signed here, and, IMHO, the single greatest need on the team is a RDE that can generate pressure.  I would love to know MJ's score from PFF for Sunday's game....He was worthless.

I'm right there with you on LB being slightly more of a priority over RDE.  The reason that I go with LB is that pressure is great, but let's face it, there are a lot of athletic QBs that can outrun a DL.  You also need athletic, strong tackling LBs to stop people from moving freely in space, when they escape the pressure of the DL.

Some mention S as a primary need, but not so sure that I fully agree with them.  Just last year, Iloka looked All-Pro quality and Williams looked fully prepared to assume the load of a leaving Reggie Nelson.  Now, those guys physical skills didn't just vanish in an offseason.  What happened was Vance Joseph also moved on.  For whatever reason, Coyle is not getting the coaching job done with the Safeties.  Bengal management needs to take a serious look at either bringing on an extra assistant to handle the Safeties, or consider a change at the DBs coaching position, altogether.
