Bengals DB Jessie Bates after the Bengals gave up 434 yards and 35 points to the Browns: "The talk that we had after that game wasn't pretty. If we don't figure it out, some people won't be here."

 Meaning exactly what??

It seems easy to figure out. Until/Unless you get a DC who has moxie and who has a personality that permeates through the entire defense, then its up to the players to change the atmosphere to 11 badasses walking on the field with the mentality of: "We don't give up yards-ever".

Then go out and make it happen...
