Next time the Cincinnati Bengal take the field, it will be in a regular season game. If Cincinnati is to succeed in this game and throughout the season, there are some players who need to improve their skill level.

At the national level, not much is expected of the Bengalis this year. With a young team there is hope for the future in Cincinnati, but in a crowded AFC North, the Bengals are considered to be the bottom-end team. There’s a little more optimism within Queen City.

While most fans aren’t expecting a Super Bowl this year, there’s excitement that this team might surprise some people in 2021. A playmaker full of offense and a redesigned defense are both units that could go either way – much better than expected or struggle to gel together.

If the Bengals are a surprising winning team this year, some players and positions will need to be improved. This is based either on performance from previous years or on what we’ve seen at camp so far, but some people need to improve their level of play in 2021.
