Good thought.
If he is, we sure got sold a bill of goods, because the Super Bowl Ravens on his resume were not a bend but don't break D. They were a never give up any yards D. Then again, Ravens had those great DT's, and great LB's, and great DB's when they won that Super Bowl with Marvin as an assistant D coach.
I like you saying ( except Zimmer ). I think most agree that Marvins best D with Bengals was during Zimmer
Since Bengals last few years are worst team on 3rd down D, I would say the Marvin D is a Bend and Break Defense. Marvin needs to go back to the blackboard and change his computer things, because it just isn't working. Not on 3rd down anyway. The team D is not that bad on 1st and 2nd down in NFL, but come 3rd down they are a mess. Often on 3rd and long, so that prevent D has to go. I don't know what kind of prevent they go into, but it doesn't prevent anything.
