First of all it clearly is not about making "big moves" because I never used any term like that.
And why did you put the word "fixed" in parentheses when we went from 24th in points allowed to 9th? Do you think it is better to have Joseph starting on a 24th ranked defense or Clement on a 9th ranked defense. I can't believe people want to complain even when the Bengals do something that works out well.
Here are the 2011 contracts adjusted for inflation of the salary cap
Clements....2 yr $15.2 million
Howard......2 yr $9.4 million
Lawson......1 yr $4.4 million
Those guys were all solid starters, and although it seems to pain you to admit it the signings had a big impact and our defense got a lot better.
So to answer your question this thread is about exactly what I said it was about in the OP. I think the Bengals will make more moves than they have in the past few years in free agency in order to try and fix our offense.
