Alex Highsmith Sees Improvement from Bengals OL, Stresses Need To ‘Control The Game Upfront’

On Wednesday, OLB Alex Highsmith spoke to the media after practice and was asked about the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals. When Highsmith was asked about the Cincinnati OL, he mentioned that he expects the unit to put up a better fight than they did the first time around.
