Marvin Lewis is, after all, at least in terms of scoring defense, the best defensive coordinator in NFL history. Let’s not forget the 2000 Baltimore Ravens’ defense only allowed 9.4 points per game. Contrast this with the 2018 Bengals defense who was basically allowing eight points per quarter.
Per quarter? I'm thinking per possession. Eight points per possession . That's as bad as it gets and we are pretty damn close to that.
Anyway, I don't necessarily expect miracles and an overnight number one defense ,but I do expect a big improvement unless our players suddenly ALL just suck.. I think Austin's chances at a HC gig are pretty much completely toast from here on out unless perhaps it's a high school team somewhere ..
At least we won't have to worry about other teams siphoning off our defensive coordinator this year..
