It's OBVIOUS that there was a plan going into this draft. There are things that Lou wants to do on defense and he needed certain players in order to do this. Athletic DBs and speed on defense - plain and simple. I am beyond excited to see what this guy can scheme up with the amount of athleticism that he now has in that room. Remember what we did against KC to basically neutralize their entire offense?
Lou is the Andy Reid of defense at the moment. I can't wait to see what he can cook up and scheme with the amount of speed he has in the locker room now. It's going to be awesome.
I cannot figure why anyone would be down on Lou. I love his philosophy for defense. I remember he was asked if they were a 3-4 or 4-3 base and he basically said yes. He then went on to say that they were whatever they needed to be to beat the team they were playing that week. He is committed to being able to run multiple looks on the defense and to do it with the same personnel groups which keeps the offense a bit more honest.
He makes great adjustments and find niche uses for player such as using Flowers as the TE specialist. The versatility he added in the draft is only going to add to the multiple looks that the Bengals will be able to run.
