## Resource

The Cincinnati Bengals defense underwent significant changes this offseason, focusing on upgrading key positions like safety, defensive tackles, and edge rushers. However, the linebacker group, consisting of rookies Jowon Carter and Demetrius Knight Junior, remains a concern. These rookies struggled last year, and the team didnt acquire any veteran free agents or make trades to bolster the position. The success of at least one of these linebackers is crucial for the Bengals defense to improve and potentially make a deep playoff run, as the team relies heavily on Joe Burrow and the offense.
