We need a defensive playmaker in the worst way.

2.) I would say we have 5 guys that can take over games anytime they want. 2 are much older now but still can get it done in Geno & Dunlap.
The other three though run hot & Cold.
1.) Bates- he showed how impactful he can be against the Chargers but then he lays an egg against the Browns.
2.) Lawson- one of the better pass rushers in the league. His only question is can he stay healthy.
3.) Jackson-  maybe the most frustrating player on the team? When he plays up to his billing he is all pro but he hasn't shown that enough.

3.) I think there is hope for ADG- he reminds me a lot like Devin Bush. Not sure about Wilson or Pratt though.

Trust me Geno and Carlos run hot and cold. When was the last time these 2 actually rose to.the occasion in a game before 
Week 8 in.the last couple years?
For the record dating back to Lewis last year the Bengals are
8 and 26. 
Let that sink in. 
That tells me that the defense is lacking playmakers. Among other things in that span
