To a degree, but not one that’s make that performance ok. The Bengals OL has been pretty bad this year. 

Granted, but I think their biggest advantage today was in the brains department.

They figured out they could exploit the left side of our D and did it all day.

I'd add that sn NFL defense shouldn't be as vulnerable to simple draws and screens as ours was today. That's coaching.

Tried to tell y’all that the defense was going to be much worse off without Snow.  I despised Rhule, but Snows defense was good when not put in bad situations

Well you are looking correct. Particularly today.

 

You can’t openly disagree with the prior defensive coach…then take over…and make it look much worse. 
 

Oof.

If I’m not mistaken, I read somewhere that Wilks did not agree with the defense Snow built…one reason was he thought they were too light and needed more size. 

So he proceeded to fire Snow, promote his buddy and field a worse defence.

Good move, Wilks.

Yeah that’s ugly.  Wilks has a track record of being a poor defensive coach.  I like him as a person, but didn’t really expect an improvement based on his resume

This season is a lost cause. They are trying to win with fired coaches players that don’t fit the scheme they want to run. Nobody can defend what we saw today but it does not matter as a new regime will start in January.

So why change the (successful) scheme mid-season when you know you don't have the players to run it?

Ego.

This defensive scheme was not successful with Rhule/Snow. The entire team was terrible today. New coaches will be here in January

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
