tell you why it is not a strength.

 

First you have to tell me why it is a strength?

 

Anyone? :sssh:

Safety, no complaints with Reggie, and Ioka

So this is a "give me your opinion, and I'll tell you why you're wrong" thread. Yeah, no thanks. Waste of time.

Isn't that any debate?

Running backs. Young, cheap, speed, power, and versatility.

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.

Guru is asking about defense.

RB is one of the strengths of the team.

 

But like Voice said, this thread is about defense.

Then you and Deuce have to promise, no more looking at this thread and certainly no posting in this thread.

They need a big DT and some linebackers that are not soft!

It's not that serious. :lol2:

Considering how weak our pass rush was I would agree. Age is a concern though.

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.

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.

I'd have to say their DL is pretty solid...
