The Bengals’ defense in 2019 was one of the worst in the league. And the worst position group was the linebackers.
The two starters that took the field on In Week 1 of last season are now gone; Preston Brown was cut midseason and Nick Vigil walked in free agency.
Bengals fans got nervous when they didn’t sign a free agent to start next to Germaine Pratt until the second week of free agency. That was until the Bengals signed Josh Bynes.
It was clear that Zac Taylor, Lou Anarumo, and linebackers coach Al Golden were trying to transform the position.
