Top 10 Bengals

[DB2012]

Simple question. . . . .which 10 Bengals are the MOST instrumental in the team's success?

In no certain order. . . .

WR AJ Green

DT Geno Atkins

QB Andy Dalton

CB Leon Hall

LB Vontaze Burfict

LT Andrew Whitmorth

RT Andre Smith

RG Kevin Zeitler

DE Carlos Dunlap

TE Jermaine Gresham

Thoughts?

If they weren't out for the year I would put Howard and Sanu ahead of Gresham and Dunlap at this point (though Gresham is finally starting to spark).

No Boling ??

No Michael Johnson ??

[HoosierCat]

Boling is worth discussing IMO. MJ's just so hit-and-miss. He can dominate against scrubs (see the DC game) but needs to show he can do it against regulars consistently. Still, if you have to put him or Dunlap on the list right now I would pick MJ.

[ArmyBengal]

Agree about MJ over Dunlap at this point.

Boling has to be one of the best stories of the season. Seriously.

People weren't really happy with him at the end of last season and Wharton was the front office saviour.

Boling has not only come in and played well, but solidified himself as the starter going forward.

All true. By season's end we could be talking about Robinson in similar terms.

[HoosierCat]

OK, maybe Dunlap gets back into the conversation...

[TJJackson]

Huber needs to be in the conversation too

[GapControl]

Pat Sims.... think about the run defense when he isn`t on the team!

[kingwilly]

If I had to narrow it to two, it would be Atkins and Green.

I think of it as who we'd miss most if they were not playing.

After that, I'd say Dalton, MJ, Burfict and Nelson.

After that, the whole O-line. They've really improved and look good.
