The Defense is Bringing the Team Down

Including some of Zimmer's defenses as well.  But Austins schemes seem nonexistent at times and not certain he will tweak it in right direction.

Do not understand how we have a HC who is a defensive specialist and we are so bad at it. Bend but not break stuff has got to go.

Can't give up TD's over 60 yards (2) when playing bend and don't break style. Bengals used to make teams grind, now it appears on 2d and 10 we give up 8 and 9 yard rushes. We look equally bad against run and pass.

I am not sure what they can do to fix it in 2018.
