Have to have a little fire and even Burfict shown none in the Chiefs game. We need a DC that is a mean sumbitch
next year to bring some of this to this Defense. I like our players on Defense much better than what we had in 2005.

I want to see how much different the Defense is this Sunday with Marv taking over.

Marv atleast has coached aggressive great Defenses in the past. Expecting much better than what we have seen
this season. More blitzing, better tackling and covering better with less cushion. Hated watching such a talented
player in William Jackson III just giving Michael Thomas the first down cause he would play so far off.

Happened many times where Will Jax was lined up past the 3rd down marker.

consistently give up the first down every 3rd down lol

I know the game was a bit different schematically
but talk about emotional contrast.
Marvins early Bengal teams had some confidence and swagger about them.
maybe thats the personalities of the roster collectively.
defensively guys were flying to the football.
the tackling was actual wrapping up eyes to the sky
even in that playoff loss to Pittsburgh
they still had confidence and drove the ball for 17 pts in the 1st half.
now today....
I see guys with none of that attitude overall.
