2. Geno Atkins Our defense has proven that without Atkins, we can do very little.

3. Marvin Jones Is not as important as AJ Green, but both of them being out crippled our WR group at the end of the year.

4. Tyler Eifert Having no threat at TE was one of the biggest reasons we couldn't overcome our WR situation.

5. Jeremy Hill Not many people remember this, but before Hill broke out in the second half of the season, our rushing numbers were average at best. And very up and down. In our first 8 weeks, we had games of 193 yard, 170 yards and 116
yards, but we also had games of 79 yards, 79 yards and 32 yards.

6. Andrew Whitworth We now have some guys who can step in if he were to be injured, but last year, and perhaps this year since Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher being rookies, losing him would be death for Dalton.

7. Andy Dalton He needs weapons to play well, but he has proven that he has the ability to play well. I don't know what McCarron has to offer, but it's probably a significant step down from Dalton.

8. Carlos Dunlap Most consistent pass rusher on our team outside of Atkins. He is obviously made better by having Atkins, but he himself is very good at causing chaos.

9. Reggie Nelson The veteran of our secondary. The only guys who could replace him are Hall, who has never played the position, or Smith a rookie.

10. Adam Jones He returns kicks, returns punts and is our best cover corner. He is aging and we have excellent depth at CB, so he isn't critical to our success, but he is one of our best players, bar none.

I agree with this list entirely. You nailed it.
