Bust rate is high in the first for dt. 2nd or third would be ok.

I think Granderson and Saunders are the only guys I want to keep.

Breese has been AWFUL, Cam is washed, and Young is lazy.

Yes but Look how many high draft choices we spent on D line in last several years. And none have really delivered big time.

And Sheldon Rankins still playing DT with the Bengals!

Breese has been bad against the run, but he is VERY good at getting pressure up the middle. You definitely have to keep him, he’s a 2nd yr player lol

Give me one of the Michigan DTs, they are game changers.

the fact Sheldon Rankins plays on the Bengals D is probably a big reason why that D is one of the worst in history.

Yes Sheldon is washed up but my point is that we gave up on him too soon!

If you put a quality run stopper next to him, that problem is greatly alleviated. But if you don’t it’s a problem.

Yeah, he is too small/weak in the run game.

Has regressed imo. Hasn't lived up to that first round pick.

You can always find guys on the d line in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Just have to start spending some draft capital.

I was high on verse and Fiske.

By awful you mean leading the team in sacks, 2nd in QB hits, and 3rd in TFL.

Plays in every game. 4th youngest guy on the roster. Will best his numbers from year 1

Of all the bad ball being played on this roster, Breese is like problem 99

leading the team in sacks is an indictment against our DEs more than a positive for Breese.

I like Bresee. Need a cam replacement, though.

As an LSU fan, I see that DE Swinson. He is a problem for offenses. Not just rushing the passer, but he's got an instinct and has sniffed out screens, etc. Haven't paid much attention to him versus the run, though.

This run defense is horrible.

Chase young runs himself out of plays.

Cam is actually good against the run.

Bresse is fine. Upgrading over Saunders and Shepherd is the biggest need. And yes move on from chase young.
