The Cincinnati Bengals defense was a huge issue last season as they let the offense down quite a few times. Because of that, there has been a magnifying glass on what happens on that side of the ball. Especially with two veteran players who have requested trades.
Head coach Zac Taylor had updates for reporters on both players. The biggest one is pass rusher Trey Hendrickson who led the NFL in sacks last season:
"Very consistent. Not just two years, four years for us and I think he’s one of the premier pass rushers in this league,” Taylor told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.
