The Cincinnati Bengals' training camp is showcasing the positive impact of an upgraded defensive line on the secondary players. With additions like Dexter Lawrence and versatile pass-rushers such as Boye Mafe, the defense is applying significant pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Dax Hill noted that this pressure is making it easier for the secondary to make plays, a crucial aspect for their development. While Joe Burrow's offense is adjusting to new under-center looks, enhanced competition within the defense could lead to better overall performance. Camp continues as the team looks to solidify their foundational roster.
