The Bengals organization must believe that as well, because they are pretty much banking on a new DC to flip this defense around. They didn't do much else to address it. 

That’s fine, please don’t. I’m not expecting bottom 5 to top 5. But I don’t think moving up to 16-20 is out of the question either. I believe the run defense will be better with Slayton and Demetrius coming on. We also have two year two DTs, that should improve. Simply put, being in better early down and distances will pay dividends.

The OL is really my biggest concern. Even with a horrid defense last year, the bengals were 5 unlucky bounces going their way to lose 5 games. If 9 gets hurt, the season is toast.

You can win a Super Bowl with a bad defense (colts, saints and giants did).

Defense could be a problem, OL is the elephant in the room.
