| The Bengals defense was able to create some turnovers (24) and score some points (three touchdowns), but was middle of the pack in points and yards allowed. The defense was improved some over the past few seasons, though. Linebacker Keith Rivers was injured early in the year, but looked like the real deal before getting hurt. And the Bengals used a second-round pick on Rey Maualuga, giving the Bengals two young and talented linebackers. These guys could be big-time trouble for opposing defenses for years to come. The Bengals need to improve their pass rush, though. They had just 17 sacks last season. Ends Robert Geathers and Antwan Odom need to really get after it this season. The Bengals secondary has some talented playmakers in Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph. Hall had three interceptions, including one that he returned for a touchdown. The Bengals special teams didn't do a whole lot last season. They'll be looking for someone to step up during training camp.

The Bengals have a little upside as a spot starter. They are making steady improvements and have some potential for sacks and interceptions. Cincy isn't the walkover defense of the past few seasons. They could be worth a waiver wire pickup for fantasy teams. |
