Can't remember the year, but I think Zimmer had a Defense ranked 3rd in PPG. I remember many times, opponents getting to the goal line, and I would be thinking, "Eh, they'll get a FG" and usually did.
Well, at one point late in the year we were the #1 ranked red zone Defense in the league last season.
How did that work out? I agree that red zone Defense is extremely important but so is getting stops on 3rd down and causing turnovers.

During his first stint as DB coach with the Bengals ('03-'11) Bengals were fifth in the league in interceptions.
Good stuff Fred, with Austin and Livingston we have two guys that thrive with their players causing turnovers.
I like it and i liked Coyle at one time i just think it was time to move on.
As BengalsBong said, Marv now has his own coaches and we can judge him fairly.
