On defense, we had Bates on a rookie deal who is a top safety, Reader who was a top DT, Chide played like a top 20 CB. Bell played well with Bates.
ie...I don't think we ever had great coaches. I think our roster was so talented that it covered it up.
Like last night, Burrow and Chase still almost won this game. And yes...the Bengals are playing hardball with Chase on a contract.
Take Burrow and Chase off this team, and we're 3-14 or 4-13.
I think the front office just ****** everything up. Surprise!!! Talent only takes you so far ....I think most of the coaches are good enough, certainly not legends, but good enough. Some position coaches may need evaluated, but Duke Tobin, his overhead projector and two scouts have handed them a lot of chicken shit the last few years and asked them to make chicken salad. They did the same thing at the end of Marvin's tenure.
