His 6 years as a DC...
'19: 30th overall/32nd scoring
'20: 12th overall/9th scoring
'21: 21st overall/23rd scoring
'22: 28th overall/26th scoring
'23: 15th overall/9th scoring
'24: 15th overall/25th scoring

Has had a couple good years in there, but has never repeated it. That's way too many 23rd+.

Also not entirely a him thing but still concerning... he's NEVER been a DC on a winning team. 5 wins, 6 wins, 4 wins, 6 wins, 8 wins, 4 wins. The previous two teams he on before the Raiders both improved and had a winning season without him the next year.

But he would threaten ZT, so we won't do that  unfortunately.

The Raiders had a Top 8 defense towards the end of the season with a rough defensive roster and playing against good offenses.

What that staff got out of K’Lavon Chaisson and Tyree Wilson was impressive.

Give us any DC that gets the most out of the young talent on the Bengals. https://t.co/PR1E7sFbGG pic.twitter.com/ivdEPDFVqL

I saw someone on X state that when they come out with two minorities right off the bat to fulfill the Rooney rule the 3rd interview is likely their top choice. We’ll see.
