sois Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 I'm convinced by y'all. I thought Lou was good, but he really has not improved any players. They have to be good already when they get here. Fire Lou, hire salah = bowl Quote
New Jersey Bengal Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 Lets be fair to anarumo he was missing 6 d linemen to start the year he is a good defensive coordinator for sure and he schemes better than anyone in the nfl vs mahomes he is not getting fired 1 1 Quote
New Jersey Bengal Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 You would be hard pressed to find any d coordinator who would do well missing 6 d linemen 1 Quote
bentheprop Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 This defense has been crap since Jesse Bates left. I'm starting to wonder how brilliant is Lou actually and how much was just him being carried by having Jesse out there. Quote

Well at the beginning of last season, Lou did say the defence would be hurt by both safeties leaving - Bates and Bell. 2 Quote
SmoothD Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 The defensive line cannot stop the run, or generate pressure consistently. Also our starting safeties have below average speed. Until these are fixed, expect the same results, regardless who the defensive coach is. 1 2 Quote

texbengal Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 I think Lou is a good DC... and yeah every team has injuries, but you have to overcome. That said, a "cluster" injury to one position that they had at DT isn't common and it definitely hurt them. Having a first-time assistant working with the safeties, both of whom are new to the Bengals (yeah, I know - Vonn was here for a few years), and who are limited athletically besides, doesn't help. Hubbard is playing better, they are getting healthier in the DL interior, Mike Hilton should be back in there... so I don't expect this D to be great, but I do expect to see improvement. Whether an at-best, 20th-ranked D (if/when they get one) paired with a potent offense, and a relatively easy schedule without a lot of good QBs playing might be enough for them to get a playoff spot, time will tell... but there's not much room for error, that's for sure. 2 Quote
|High School Harry| Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 Hello? Mike Zimmer? P.S. Lou Armadillo ain't going nowhere a quarter way into the season. P.S.S. Lou or nobody else can make Shinola out of the shit we have on D. 1 Quote

IKOTA Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Salah wears a Lebanese flag on his shirt and….a few hours later…..fired. Woody Johnson, I’m sure has zero connections to Blackock and Vanguard; nope, none at all. Who fires a coach at 2-3? Woody Johnson had NEVER fired a coach in season before. Until Salah. 1 Quote

texbengal Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 7 minutes ago, I_C_Deadpeople said: And struggling there for sure early, but last week they played a lot better. Granted, the Stealers aren’t gonna strike the fear out of (most) teams defensively, but the Dallas D was short-handed a lot, and they still stepped up in Pitt. Detroit and SF coming up will be telling. After that, their two best defensive players, Parsons and Lawrence, as well as a starting CB (DaRon Bland) should be back and that’ll help. And the good thing for Dallas is that they have some athletic young guys who may be short on experience, but they still made plays in starters’ absence. Which is more than you can say for the Bengals’ backups. 1 Quote

When a returning coach gets fired early in a season, it shows the owner probably thought he should have made the move at the end of the prior season. I doubt the flag badge had anything to do with the firing, if he'd won the game he would still be the coach. 3 Quote
Catfish Bob Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Too early in the season. That would be sign of throwing in the towel. I don't think anyone is ready to just give up yet after 5 games. Not every team has Lamar Jackson. So if they continue to play as well as they did we are going to win a lot more games over the remainder of the season. I think this is the first game where they really started to click on offense. Now its off to the races. 2 Quote
T-Dub Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 This thread is goofy. I guess some of y'all are newer here but if you see a post from @soisyou should automatically assume you're being trolled. 😆 No offense, I am amused. 1 4 Quote

TigerJ@w Posted October 12 Report Posted October 12 Lou is so good as a DC in that all of those teams looking for a HC took a pass. Quote
