This is highly unusual and countercultural to Bengal history. Still, I like it, I appreciate it, and I want to see more of it. To make changes like this, you know, big wholesale changes during a winning season and a playoff run, is highly unusual. This takes guts, vision, and risk.
Maybe, just maybe, Mike Brown wants to win. I haven’t seen this sort of out of the box thinking since Sam Wyche was the head coach. Let’s hope Marvin Lewis can take the Cincinnati defense several levels higher than it currently performs.
This season isn’t lost.

Many years the coordinator of the worst defense in the league makes it through the full season before he is fired, but it had to happen here. Iloka is the only "loss" from 2017 and he is a back up in Minnesota. We were not great last year, but having the worst offense in the entire league will drag down a defense's numbers because they are on the field more. Yet we still finished 18th in points and 16th in yards. Before that we had a top 10 scoring defense 5 of 6 years. We have way too much talent to be this bad.
