pass defense by direction - lostpoet2 - 01-05-2017
Here is something I noticed that sticks out to me. Football Outsiders has the 2016 Bengals pass defense ranked 15th overall, but if you scroll down to the last chart on this page, its breaks down passing to the left, middle, and right sides of the field:

We were 9th against passes down the middle and 7th against passes on the right side. However, our D was 27th against passes to the left and dead last against deep passes to the left. One conclusion is that Pacman needs to be released due to performance on the field and so we can save $6MM+ to sign other players.
