Bengals must bench rookie after Week 8 horror show against Jets

Are the Cincinnati Bengals trolling us at this point? It's almost as if they're trying to sabotage their defense by not putting the very best players on the field each week.

Week 8's humiliating 39-38 loss to the New York Jets exposed the flaws at every level of the Cincinnati defense yet again. Someone needs to be held accountable.

While Duke Tobin deserves to be fired as personnel chief, the Bengals staff can only work with the hand they're dealt. For whatever reason, they have an ace in the hole who they refuse to deploy on Sundays.
