## Resource

Emmanuel Acho sparked a firestorm by claiming the 2019 LSU team outclassed today’s Bengals and even called their defense inferior to the Rams’. But TJ Houshmandzadeh fired back hard, slamming Acho for disrespecting Dexter Lawrence — the defensive anchor the Bengals traded a top-10 pick to land. Lawrence, a relentless force who racked up 39 pressures last season while constantly drawing double teams, is now leading a revamped Bengals front line alongside BJ Hill and Jonathan Allen. With Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook adding depth and experience, Houshmandzadeh believes this defense is primed for a breakout year under Burrow’s leadership — and he’s ready to prove Acho wrong when the season starts.
