You could tell the D was not mentally prepared before games but at the same time you should still be able to tackle on your own.

IMO some of the players also were a terrible fit for Austin's scheme. His scheme needs fast, twitchy guys whereas the Bengals have typically picked up the bigger, hold-your-ground guys. Austin also needs very instinctual players (especially DBs) who can anticipate plays to try to force turnovers. Do the Bengals really have many of those guys outside of maybe Atkins, Dunlap, and Burfict?
