Green Ross Mixon Burfict Minter Bernard
But what player at the end of 2017 (hopefully playoffs and beyond )
Will be that unsung hero difference maker playmaker ?
I'm gonna go with Brandon LaFell.
I think he had a very solid 2016 and with the departure of Whit and Peko
He could fill that void left in the locker room as far that seasoned vet keeping things together
With so much concentration on Green Mixon and Eifert ,LaFell could be that threat on offense
That comes up with the big 3rd down catch to keep a drive going or that red zone TD
He's darn good run blocker and really is a pros pro
I can see LaFell making a lot of plays that don't show up in the box score
The ENTIRE OFFENSE LINE ranked as worst or second worst in NFL going into 2017.
Next would be our Field Goal and Extra Point Kicking, was was awful in 2016.
I would say our WR's, TE's, RB's, and QBs are over rated by Bengals Fans because they all need a HUGE improvement from 2016.
The Defense is maybe Top 10 or at least Top 16 in NFL. The Defense is our strongest area. Not sure it is is an Elite Defense. They need to improve to reach that. Turnovers were way down last year for example. They were not a big play Defense.
The Offensive Line can NOT be the worst in NFL, or it will be 1, 2, 3, Punt and Defense will be on field too much and suffer from Fatigue. The Offensive Line has to prove they ARE NOT the worst O Line in the NFL.
