The Cincinnati Bengals’ free-agent additions are already adding a new dimension to the defensive side of the ball.

It’s no secret the Cincinnati Bengals’ defense has left a lot to be desired in recent years, although that hasn’t always been the case. Once upon a time, the Queen City was home to a squad full of ferocious defenders, led by genius defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who now finds himself as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. After him, his disciple Paul Guenther took the reigns and continued the tradition.
