I guess this leads to a question…..
If you were a DC how would you defend us?
IMO step 1 is to keep our YPC around 4-4.5. If you let the Bengals get 5 YPC you are done and you won’t even get to what to do about the 3 WRs because your ass is gonna be out the game anyway.
I’d probably keep 7 in the box every play and just attack the run with everything.
I’d put my safeties over top and tell my corners to be highly aggressive on routes within 5-15 yards.
I really like what we do with Pratt and Logan where we basically trust them to defend passes and diagnose runs so id probably just task my linebackers with guarding middle and filling in run holes.
The key to the D that eventually beats us is the cornerbacks. If your corners can hold like Emerson and Ward did in Cleveland our offense can be beat
