Dre Kirkpatrick, George Iloka, Darqueze Dennard, and William Jackson III are too talented to be held back by a substandard scheme.

I was on Detroit’s message board earlier and the Lions’ fans are sad to see Teryl Austin go.  They thought he did a great job considering such meager talent he had to work with and they also thought coaching a talent-laden team like the Bengals was a good job to get.

Yea, I'd very much like to see the Bengals DBs have more of an emphasis on turnovers. Didn't feel like a priority with Guenther+Coyle.
With Austin as the DC, it might also mean a bigger priority on S in the draft and/or trying creative moves like Shaw to FS and Williams to nickel LB.
