Boy eating crow is an understatement. This guy got the players he wanted in his system and they have been the most consistent thing on this team week in and week out.


Now I feel selfish, because he deserves a head coaching job and new opportunities but I don't want the guy leaving...the schemes and adjustments he makes are like no other.

1) When *you're* wrong 

2) 100% I was in the group of moving on from Taylor, Anarumo, Callahan, and Turner after 2020. Taylor and Anarumo surprised me last year, but I've always still been somewhat skeptical about last year being more of the outlier rather than the norm. I wanted to see how close they could replicate this season. I can't remember whether I predicted 9, 10, or 11 wins, but I know it wasn't higher than that. If the Bengals can get to 12+, they've definitely exceeded my expectations.

Hats off to Anarumo especially, as I thought that whole thing about scheme fit was a bunch of BS. He should have been able to mold the defense around the guys that were here, specifically Atkins and Dunlap that just got extended. It's pretty obvious how bad of a fit Guenther's/Austin's defensive players were for Anarumo's scheme. Props to him for moving on from the guys that didn't fit and being able to find guys who do fit and are able to succeed.
