What does work?

A vanilla defense?

Not buying the overly complicated 

system..

They train every week and study film

How stupid are these guys then?

The system is very complicated for safeties. That is known.

Wait, are you saying the Jets don't have better defensive players than the Bengals overall? That's crazytalk. Even apart from Sauce, they have the Williams brothers and a group of pass rushers. We have 1 good pass rusher and that's it. 

Im saying its not that much different.

Stupid asses  huh?

 

Corner is not the issue on this team. Our starters might not be at the level Sauce and Reed but they are fine....any of the top 3. CTB just had a bad game. 

 

Our safeties are comparable to the Jets. 

Our LBs are better than the Jets

Quinnen Williams is averaging 1.6 tackles a game. 

Our ends are better than the Jets. No chance they wouldn't swap theirs for Myles-Sam and Trey. Absolutely none. 

You know Reddick is holding out right?

We have the leagues worst defense. Clearly other people have figure this out.

Weston apparently..

 

Well yes, but also the fact that somehow no one can play it adequately other than an All-Pro at his peek.

Do you recall injuries this year or is that to complicated as well?

Vonn Bell has never been an all pro not even at his peek. He is good, but not all pro, not even pro bowl level.

I think his "good level" has slipped a notch..or two 

Whole secondary looks like theyre in molasses.  The 40 times might look good but they're playing slow.

CTB can be beat off the line with a double move far too much for my liking 

 

Late to the play & guys wide open. Lots of open field even after the catch. Maybe the DBs are thinking too much, IDK.

He and Anarumo have both talked about him not playing well with his eyes. 

Still question how they're rated athletically, as a group average.  They've had a good run of DB's but I'm not feeling it this year.  They've recycled Bell again & he hasn't gotten any better.  I thought he was supposed to communicate more than Jordan Battle?  All that yapping isn't making up for the difference in natural ability. 

 

It's not just the DB's either.  Too many slow players that can't or won't tackle.  DL injuries don't explain why they're playing so soft. 

 

That aside, my biggest concern? Neither the HC or DC have given me the impression they're taking ownership for their record.

Trey and the Linebackers are the only ones playing well right now. Maybe BJ Hill, but really Hill is only playing to the top of his skill level, which is slightly above average. Hopefully some of the young players can start to step up, because I worry thats the only way the defense is going to get better. If the young guys can start playing better.

The young DL are going to get a lot of snaps so at least we will find out if they will make the grade or not.

The defense hald a 'players only' meeting this week to address the bad play. I heard the safeties were late to the meeting.

I imagine they work Battle in more, and Turner is obviously the starter now. 

 

Hope all the young guys step up

Nice. 

I believe the reason for their tardiness was that there was a communication mixup.
