In the four years that Guenther was our DC we ranked FIRST in the league in interceptions.
We were ranked in the top half of the league in pass defense (efficiency) every year and finished in the TOP 5 three of the four years.
Against the Steelers we held them to a 82.6 passer rating while they compiled a 96.3 rating against the rest of the league.
We did struggle some with 3rd down conversions but I think that was more a product of poor coverage skills by our LBs than anything else.
Did you even read what I posted? I said I liked what I saw early on, but he evolved in to a more conservative coach.
The Bengals tied for 20th in the league with 11 INTs and dead last with 3 Forced Fumbles.
Yes, we seem to hold the steelers to decent yardage (yet always seem to lose the game). That hardly equates to a successful defensive strategy.
