oldschooler Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 [b][size="5"]Father, son to match defensive strategies [/size][/b] [b][size="4"]Saints assistant is son of Bengals coordinator[/size][/b] In the Bengals' exhibition opener Friday, defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer will be on the opposite sideline as his son, Adam, who coaches linebackers for the New Orleans Saints. Adam Zimmer has been with the Saints since Sean Payton became the coach in 2006. "He kind of knows my defense pretty good. During the summer, we watch cutups of each other's defenses, so there are no real secrets," Zimmer said. Zimmer and Payton worked together on Bill Parcells' staff in Dallas from 2003 to '05. Said Zimmer of Payton: "He's starting to get more of the pieces that he wants in there so I think he's progressing well. Plus, he just signed a contract for $5 million for five years so he must be doing something right."
