While the defense as a whole didn’t live up to their early-season hype, much of that was due to a linebacking corps that gave up more yards in coverage than any other in the NFL. Rookie Jessie Bates looks like he’ll be a stud in Cincinnati for a while after allowing a passer rating of only 59.9 in his coverage this year.

If the CBs would have actually been able to get an INT, imagine how many more games they might have had a chance to win.
As much as I think Vance Joseph being the HC would be a disappointment to the fans, him coming back as HC or DC could elevate this defense (at least from a DB turnover perspective).

In the two years that Joseph was the DB coach in Cincinnati, here were the number of INTs from the DBs (and CBs specifically):
2014 - 15 INTs (8 INTs from CBs)
2015 - 17 INTs (7 INTs from CBs)
