Nice review, thanks for the share. He has really done a great job building this defense.

Sweet Lou !

yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.

No doubt Lou has some surprises and substitution packages in store

Great breakdown. Orlovsky would be a legend if he hadn't walked out of the back of the end zone for a safety. No one succeeds as the Lions QB, sadly.

It's that same feeling the last few years of Zimmer when you knew sooner or later we would lose him. Hopefully the trend of going with young offensive guru's for hc positions keeps him here a few more seasons.

Honestly, he has a brilliant mind.. much like romo. They just didn’t have the ability to keep up with it to make them good (Dan O) or great (romo)

I am so glad no other DC would work for Zac so he went with Lou......  He's been one of my favorite coaches since he's gotten here.

Remember Lou's first few years with the Bengals? So many people wanted him and Zac fired immediately after last place in the league and then there was rampant speculation Burrow wouldn't sign with the team if drafted by the Bengals..  Worse than eating crow..How about grown up maggots for dinner? Dead flies..

I’d imagine the ownership encouraged Zac to get an experienced DC and he acquiesced. Lou had none.

Hey Gramps! Hadn't seen you in a while, but laughed at your new title: Future HOF Corpse, and then a picture of a casket. You're a riot.
I remember getting absolutely roasted for saying Lou had shown "flashes" and I was specifically referencing how he defended Lamar Jackson. The Bengals could do nothing against them on offense, but Lou kept them in the game with a group consisting of several guys plucked off the street. That steeler game that has the "hit that turned the tide" from Vonn Bell on JJSS was an outstanding defensive effort.
I am thrilled that they found this diamond in the rough, so to speak. We have always had a great ST coach in Simmons, and now we are seeing Callahan and Zac adapting to new defenses and life without Chase. Things are really falling in to place.

I was speaking of the roasting he got here when hired. Posters were saying he only got the job because nobody any good would work for Zac. That didn't hold up well.....

Picking Taylor as head coach was a gamble. But he must be pretty good selling his vision and plan. I hear Arizona offered him before Kliff and that Denver was highly interested but Zac wasn’t as they had lots of guard rails. The Cincy ownership and their reputation for fairness and loyalty loomed large.

Heck, I was still convinced he should be fired half way through last season. They just were not producing the kind of results you would expect with all that money spent. But then things started to come together.
It's interesting, the time it took that new defensive talent to gel with Lou's system last year is about the same as the time it took our new Oline talent to start performing as expected this year.
