It's Not the Defense

I don’t think Andy Dalton has the f-bomb in his vocabulary but at this point I’m certain Zac Taylor, right or wrong, is more concerned with evaluating his players than winning. This isn’t the same situation the Steelers are in; they’re in a playoff race so pulling Mason Rudolph for Devlin Hodges made sense. Here’s why: I heard Dan Hoard interview Carlos Dunlap after the game and it was obvious Carlos was pissed off. He freely admitted the Bengals hadn’t even considered to have a contingency game plan against Hodges. While the Cincinnati defense eventually adjusted, Hodges did some serious damage first.
