Bothered me is inability of this defense to cause and create turnovers. I mean this was happening before Anarumo got here
I think Austin's defense was just as bad in not coming up with
Turnovers.
Show me a playoff team and I will.show you a defense that is
Opportunistic.
Its pretty cut and dry. When a defense causea fumbles and ints
It's another possesion for the offense.
The Bengals defense is downright pathetic when comes to
Getting the ball back for the offense.
Why is that?
Is the.art of dislodging the ball not practiced enough with Bengals coaches?
Do the Bengals on defense have a lack of players who.dont possess
That instinct to seperate ball.from.ball.carrier?
I know some NFL teams religiously practice creating turnovers.
Im.not.so.sure the Bengals do. Cause I.sure as heck.dont see it
On the field.
Very few forced and recovered fumbles. Very few ints.
The Bengals must be in the bottom 5 of teams regarding the turnover aspect on defense.

The reason for the lack of the turnovers is the lack of a pass rush. The two go hand in hand. Pressure forces mistakes. An elite pass rush will produce turnovers. Another reason why the offensive and defensive lines are so highly valued in my mind.
