When assessing the Cincinnati Bengals' offseason priorities, little to do with the Joe Burrow-led offense is top of mind. Burrow has proven he can mask many deficiencies, and Zac Taylor has had success with Jake Browning and Joe Flacco when Burrow has gotten injured.
None of that means there isn't room for improvement. Burrow's recent comments about how this offseason is "as big as it gets" in Cincinnati aren't an invitation for Duke Tobin and the front office to focus on defense only and call it a day.
This is a pivotal point in Bengals history.
