Haha...well respected! Where? In Pittsburgh? Baltimore?

Talk about a guy who rode the coattails of his predecessor. A few really good defenders kept this defense formidable, not Guenther. Just look at the drop off when Burfict was off the field. Teams regularly targeted our linebackers in the playoffs and was ultimately our demise. I find it even funnier that the Bengals website built Guenther up to be this amazing defensive coordinator. His whole bend but don’t break philosophy may have limited points, at times, but it lead to super bad field position and a horrendously bad 3rd down percentage.

Him being gone is a step in the right direction. But sill LOL @ well respected.
