It's interesting when you go back and look at the Bengals under Sam, especially when it comes to the DC talk.
Sam gave LeBeau his first shot at DC and they were together for all 8 years. During that time, Lebeau's defenses ranked 15th or lower 6 times...while the offense ranked 5th or higher 6 times. The offense under Wyche carried those teams, while the defenses usually did just enough to hold their own.
I could envision something similar with this regime...with an offense that puts up yards and points, and a defense that is at least good enough to keep them in games.
