The Best Defensive Coordinator in History is Already in Cincinnati

I don't think Marvin shows up at the game not knowing what the defense is going to do. All we can hope for is better execution by the players with Marvin breathing down their neck.

During the Marvin/Dalton run our offense has put up between 6-16 points in 5 games.  Our defense hasn't been stellar in the playoffs, but our offense simply doesn't show up and has even been outscored by our defense at times.

At any rate, I'm not sure what Marvin breathing down anyone's neck is going to do, unless we are under the idea that Marvin wanted to crack down on his players and guys like Paul Geunther and Teryl Austin told him not to.  Oh, how I hope that was the reason! In our haste to be understandably optimistic, we tend to assume/hope that the people who leave are greatly responsible for the negative aspects of the team.
