New MLB

[HoTbOy]

After watching the 1st 2 games it is apparent to me that we need a new MLB, this is just a continuation of last season when we got trampled by the other teams running backs especially RRice... TRichardson looked like AP yesterday...Every time, he is either on the ground, or chasing the play and it seems like he is always out of position, if he is still worried about his knee, let VBurfict start...

I would say we need a new MLB, a couple corners, maybe a safety, a couple DEs...it's a mess.

But as for Rey, yeah. Put Muck in. What do they have to lose?

question: is Jim LeClair the Bengals' only Pro Bowl MLBer ever? he made it just once.

Bergey made it several times after PB traded him; Takeo made it a couple of times after he left team in free agency.

I do know that there's been a whole lot of years of yecch.

Yes, I'm not impressed with Rey, either. If we can get more QB pressure, then a lot of our problems will seem less significant. Getting Dunlap back will be VERY helpful, and getting Sims back would help plug things up against the run. And, if they can use players like Burfict and Moch when he returns to add to our blitz packages, then I'm all on board.

Our LB corp is the obvious weakspot, with the secondary a close 2nd. I think the secondary is servicable however...it's just that the lack of QB pressure is allowing the opposing QB to sit back all day and wait until someone gets open.

It's starting to look to me like a couple of our seasons with Palmer. Our offense looks quite strong, in my opinion. The defense isn't a solid shut-you-down type of defense, but if they can manage to get 1-3 turnovers, then it may be enough. Unfortunately, the turnovers have yet to come. Fingers crossed that Dunlap can help that. I'm also dying to see Moch get back. That suspension is killing us right now.
