People in the know, supposedly or under the opinion that the personnel, albeit almost the same, are not merging well with the new schemes. In other words, somewhere in the organization there was a paradigm shift and it's not matching up with the personnel and they're too far into the season to change now.

In addition, I don't think sweet Lou's defense worked without a genuine stud as a nose tackle. I think Lou has his philosophy and he's not willing to change or adapt. And he's not willing to change or adapt.
It doesn't help that their free safety stud is gone in. Both safeties are underperforming.

One last question is this has been brought up before years ago. Would you be willing to bring in Marvin Lewis as the new GM?

The Family, by now, should have their financial eggs in other baskets besides the Bengals. Paul passed the team to Mike over 30 years ago. THEY CAN AFFORD TO DO THIS!!!!
