Here's my thing I'm always optimistic. I've been optimistic about the Reds since about 1983 and if anything the Reds have sucked worse than the Bengals since the 90's.
I do agree with Ocho's remark though. I see better than I hear. You can tell me your plan. You can tell me the intended results of your plan but if your plan doesn't show results then your plan doesn't work.
6-25-1 says to me your plan doesn't work. A "good" coach would've assembled a coaching staff to take advantage of the talent that was currently in place and change to a zone defense over time. Not bring in a coaching staff and be like well our talent doesnt match our scheme want to run but hell lets run a zone defense anyway.
I think that's been my biggest issue with Taylor and his staff is not using the talent that was in place and changing over time. Change to your plan. if you don't have the talent to immediately switch to a zone defense then why in the hell are you brining in a DC who wants to run a zone scheme.
