Why does our defense look so bad?

"It's about Coach Zimmer.  He's a total perfectionist and doesn't tolerate mistakes.  He gets in my face and tells me to fix this or that and he always yells at me more than everyone else.  I'm scared to death of that man!"

Mama Burfict knew the right answer.  "That's the kind of man you want to play for, Vontaze," she responded.  "He'll make you better than you know you can be.  You do exactly what he teaches you to do."

What if the reason the Bengals haven't extended Burfict yet is because he decided he wants to become a FA next year and go play for Zimmer?
