UKMustangFan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So this is a "give me your opinion, and I'll tell you why you're wrong" thread. Yeah, no thanks. Waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of Reason Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I think the DB's in general are a strength. Our CB's are getting old but I believe Kirkpatrick is on the cusp of being an impact CB and Dennard is developing as well. On draft day, DB's are at the bottom of the Bengals list unless a highly rated CB drops into their lap as a bargain pick. On draft day, I believe defensive line (pass rusher first and foremost) is the top priority then LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theguru Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Running backs. Young, cheap, speed, power, and versatility. RB is one of the strengths of the team. But like Voice said, this thread is about defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK#1fanisback Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 They need a big DT and some linebackers that are not soft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theguru Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Safety, no complaints with Reggie, and Ioka Reggie Nelson is 31 years old. He is solid, but he ain't no spring chicken. I think George Iloka is okay. Nothing great, but not bad. Add to this, our backups probably are not NFL quality players. Taylor Mays certainly not and Shawn Williams it doesn't appear so. At least he can't get on the field. In short, Safety is a position we are average at best at with zero depth. I believe Safety is a need moving forward.

LCDAWGS19 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It's hard to look at the entire team and find a position of strength. There's maybe 3 positions out of 22 that we're set at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'd have to say their DL is pretty solid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
