The Defense is trash ..

That’s certainly possible. What works against the very unique offense the Ravens run won’t work against the more traditional offense the Jets and Browns run.

Still, I expect better preparation from Lou Anarumo and better execution from his players. Yes, the Bengals’ defense missed a lot of tackles but that’s easy to do if the players — especially the secondary — are in the wrong position.

I have a pretty good eye for defensive play and the biggest difference I’ve noticed since the game against the Ravens is the lack of penetration from the defensive line. The Jets handled the front four well but what Cleveland did to the front four approached aggravated assault. The Browns aren’t a finesse team anymore; they’ve rebuilt themselves to mirror Pittsburgh’s physical style.
