Treadwell or Alexander.

Let's hope so, rare to have exposure to such dynamic offensive talent.

I think Suggs has one more season left in him, then I would say it's more likely he retires.

I would be interested to see what he does with Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman, not to mention Gillmore/Boyle and Maxx. Of course, we also want to see Flacco back out there, but Mallett with better knowledge of personnel and the system could be a very promising back up.

Worrying too much about one team is pointless - for all the times we have lost, where have the two teams respectively finished? Sure, the Bengals have two Playoff berths where we have missed out... for zero wins. I need not state the obvious successes of this franchise at this point in time. Our team has long been aging at key positions, whereas the Bengals for the most part have drafted and signed younger talent. That disparity has merely come to the fore in regular season games. Now, we have good draft position to retool and start leveling up with them again.

Bosa is probably more suited to 4-3 and likely won't slide that far, but I would be happy to get him too. Sure we could find a way to make him a stud.

I think at this point, Alexander from Clemson might be the best option at cornerback if we were to address that position in the 1st round.

It is hard to concede a lot of points when your offense is on the field for 35 minutes every game. I am all for drafting Treadwell, as well as addressing OT and a pass rusher. Smith, Wright and a returning Davis are good corner options in my opinion - Smith and Wright really finished the season well, and Davis showed real promise before he went down hurt. Load up the passing weapons, and some clever drafting will have that defense performing well over 16 games also.

This defensive unit is an embarrassment to the proud history of the team on that side of the ball. We could be 4-1 or even 5-0 if these so called 'pros' could do their job, and make a stop. How many times does this team need to fall trap to the same garbage? Heads must roll. This is an all time low in my fandom of this team, I am frankly disgusted by the apathy and inaccuracy of our performances. The season is probably over! In Week 5, the season is over. Absolutely pathetic. I am struggling to find the adjectives to describe how awful this team is - well, ones that won't result in a ban at least.

Couldn't agree more. We just watched New England win a Super Bowl with quick fire, short passes - and we are sitting back and letting teams complete dink and dunk passes all day. Bring back the aggression, because the defense is both bending AND breaking!

Yeah, this was atrocious. Completely atrocious by the defensive secondary and defensive line, I thought our LBs were OK - but that was about it for that side of the ball. Pees called a poor game and failed to make key adjustments. I will not put this on Flacco - but two throws in particular had me scratching my head. Completely under throwing a wide open receiver for what was a sure fire touchdown, and then for a second time in two weeks, blundering away a second game winning TD in two weeks due to poor execution with an experienced, number 1 receiver. What is going on there? Those errors were inexcusable for a veteran combination of that experience level.

Elam certainly needs to get better in coverage, that is for sure.

Bingo.

As would I, because I believe a healthy Jimmy can play at All Pro level.

I'm the same as you, and I too have also heard a lot of negativity filtering through. He doesn't seem to command respect, or a cohesive playing unit. Now, that may be different when dealing with the quarterbacks as opposed to an entire locker room, but honestly, the Bears offence still seemed a rabble, even with the weapons they had available.

I like that Melvin seemed fearless in the game against Pittsburgh, in spite of being relatively new to the system. He looks to be a real find, and will provide nice depth behind a healthy Webb and Smith moving forward.

Auckland, New Zealand; but currently residing in Sydney, Australia. Don't worry - fan since 2006, had my profile here since 2009, seen 110+ consecutive games on Game Pass. Hoping some folks can show me what's up when I finally make the trek to M&T for a game!
