It's being overlooked but losing Reader for the season, Hubbard for the Browns, Colts, and Titans game, Atkins not being close to healthy, and the whole Dunlap fiasco. That's a lot for a Defense to overcome.

I don't know why you are supposed by missing that D-Line. Atkins was a generational talent, Dunlap was very good edge, Peko arguably the second best Nose Tackle in Bengals history, and MJ was a complete stud. Throw in Gilberry who was a beast interior pass rusher and you arguably have the best D-Line in Bengals history. I miss them two.

I wonder how often we'll see both Reader and Tupou out there as an ultimate run-stuffing IDL.

I was "missing" that Peko-MJ DL because Peko and MJ were not elite pass rushers. I didn't think I'd miss then because I wanted guys with better pass rush. I underestimated their value to stopping the run.
