The whole "worst defense in NFL history" thing leads me to believe it's an extra big issue for us.

Every player on our defense knows the proper technique for tackling.

Hey Fred. What Wyche said.

(Dammit Wyche, if I had a nickel for every time you stole my thunder, I could buy the Bengals and hire a GM, plus build a practice facility made of solid gold)

Sounds like Marvin Lewis back when he was coaching the Baltimore Ravens in 2000.

The only thing this does is remind me just how long Marvin has been coaching the Bengals. Marv used to look very young for a 40 year old.

Now he looks like some Sith Lord that's been on the dark side for far too long.
