The Cincinnati Bengals got just two players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Anthony Munoz, and Ken Riley, even though plenty more deserve a bust. Health issues hit some hard, but the real killer has been shaky drafting, especially on defense, leaving the team short on stars. Front-office angst shaking things up, sticking with head coach Zach Taylor and GM Duke Tobin, they nailed offense with Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and T-Higgins, but defense stays a week-spot year after year. Analysts calling out the Brown family for playing it safe, not swinging big and free agency or trades. Instead of chasing high upside risks to push over the hump, they just reward the usual suspects and hope for the best. This off-season, they grab safety, Brian Cook, Ed rusher boy A Mayfay, and tackle Jonathan Allen. But nobody's calling that a fix. Defense still bleeds points at every level.
