Guys being utterly dumbfounded by any trick play ever, guys not filling gaps on time, guys MISSING TACKLES, multiple guys on the same play hesitating to do ANYTHING. Guys not even in a position to lose a fight. Meaning guys on D weren’t even NEAR the ball so they couldn’t even get their ass beat. Like at least be Germaine Pratt and just get your ass beat in the hole. A lot of guys were so out of it they didn’t even propose a fight in the hole. They were just in a totally wrong gap then trying to group tackle 6 yards past the LOS.
Idk how it got this bad this quick. The front 7 was an absolute mess all year.
Golden needs to simply put get guys to at least be in a position to take an asswhoopin. If you get bodied out of a hole so be it but to not even be there to cause an issue is wild from NFL front 7 guys
Ngl idk how you fix this but Golden does and that’s why he gets the big bucks.
Quick note from the tapes i watched is we need a linebacker BAD. A lot of times we were kinda getting stalemates from the front 4 but idk what the hell
ADG, Njongmeta and Pratt were doing. There’d be a pulling guard and all 3 guys would be trying to contain the edge like dude someone has to fill gaps. Why would the RB bounce shit out if he has 6-7 yards right up the middle?
It got this bad this quick cause it was never that good to begin with. The Bengals haven't had a good defense since 2015... That's 10 years for those counting.
