He had every player in the right position, called the defensive packages with outstanding results, and he was a physical presence. Even without several starters, the Cincinnati defense basically shut the Dolphins down in a display of total domination and my observation is the players respond to him positively. It seems to me Vontaze is the catalyst which makes the Bengals' defense play with more energy and, yes, play smarter too. I can't wait to see how the defense game plans and executes against Dallas.
I hope it holds to be true for the remainder because, right now, I see the defense as the only possible shot in the dark to be playing after New Year's Day.
