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

I know people expected more sacks, but all of these claims that he is "doing nothing" or "not a starter" are absurd.

MJ ranks 10th with Irving, Bosa, Hicks, Bennett, Hyder, Tuitt, Lawerence, Fowler, and Nunez-Rocher.

He has 4 run stuffs. The same amount as 34 other players. Including two safeties. Pat Sims and Geno Atkins have as many run stuffs as him.

Cool, 29 solo tackles isn't bad. But Dunlap has less solo tackles than him. So does that mean Dunlap is worse? Last year, Dunlap only had 37 solo tackles. Atkins only had 31 solo tackles.

MJ has two passes tipped.

Hurries are a fun stat. But MJ doesn't finish plays. He has 3 sacks this entire season. He hasn't caused any turnovers. Numerous times even when he has gotten pressure, he misses tackles or can't get the QB down.

To believe that we can't/shouldn't get an upgrade over MJ is absurd
