The whole team is flying under the radar this year and people won't notice them until the end of the season as they sit there with the number 1 seed at 12-4.
Your under the radar player who could be a difference maker this year

Marcus Hardison If he can stay heathly lol. I think Billings will start at nose tackle next to Geno on running situations and Hardison can come in on passing downs and be a successful nickle DT with Geno eating up double teams. Could have a nice little NASCAR package like the New York Gaints did when they gave the Patriots and Brady trouble in those 2 super bowls. I'm picturing Dunlap, Hardison, Geno, Lawson on passing downs with Wills in mix as well. Billings and Johnson more on run downs but we get back to a roation to keep guys fresh which is when are D-line was at its best. I know a lot of people love Gilbery as the nickle DT but I think he's an older player at the end of his career with a limited ceiling. If Hardison can stay heathly I think he will beat out Gilbery for the nickle DT job.

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.

Folks like Marcus would be icing on the cake if they contributed this season. I liked what we saw in limited action last year, but hope he can be a solid rotational guy this season.

Two-fer
1. Carl Lawson. Think he's ready as a situational pass rusher and gives our defense some versatility as he can play hand down or not 2. Tyler Boyd. Game well suited for the slot and defenses have to respect green/eifert/Ross.

Brandon Wilson- I think he will win the K/P return job and be a pleasant surprise player spot playing on D.

For that matter, why not Geno, he is the same age and year as LaFell

I think this guy's athleticism is screaming for the opportunity to carry the ball. Erickson was a very good option in KO returns, but Wilson has another level of speed. If he can demonstrate that he can help the coverage teams, he may just earn a spot. Especially if someone like Derron Smith gets put on the PUP...

Glasgow it wont be pretty or huge impact but he will just do his job eat up blocks and not be moved. Will give Billings a chance to catch his breath from time to time.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!
