Bengals LBs have always been extremely weak without Burfict. Vincent Rey is a decent player, but if you're relying on him to be your best LB, you are going to be let down.
Everyone else has and will continue to suck. (Lawson is a DE, regardless of his LB title.)
The problem is the Bengals are still stuck in this concept that LBs should be slow 240-260 pound guys who hit hard, when in reality they need to be 220-235 fast guys who can cover RBs, TEs, and running threat QBs. But they keep getting slow guys like Maualuga, Vigil, Minter, etc.
