Bengals walk on the edge

MOBILE, Ala. _ The subject is edge pass rushers. The Bengals need one and if there aren’t any high first-round possibilities here at the Senior Bowl this week then there is a raft of possibilities in the later rounds.

And that’s where the Bengals may have to get him because it’s unclear if there is going to be one good enough to take with the ninth pick in the first round.

So it’s a good thing pass rushers come in all shapes and sizes because the traditional 270ish-pound defensive end the Bengals use to anchor their 4-3 defense (Pro Bowl left end Carlos Dunlap is 6-6, 285 pounds and right end Michael Johnson is 6-7, 275) is becoming a rarity in a college game dominated by spread offenses.
