+1.  I like it.  We might as well embrace this villain image and start cracking heads on the field* because fear is a huge intimidating weapon in the NFL.  I do like the nasty, physical image both Paul Guenther and Mike Zimmer before him have instilled in the Cincinnati defense.  Think of the intimidating presence the Seattle "Legion of Boom" defense had and the intimidating presence the Steelers' defense used to have; the Bengals could have this reputation too albeit with far more defensive talent than either Seattle or Pittsburgh.  





Defense still wins championships.




*No stupid personal fouls, please.
