Chuck Bresnahan is no longer the D coordinator of the Bengals. This is good news to all Bengal fans who have suffered through a third-down easy completion for 15 yards on a third-and-12 by a crapola offense quarterbacked by Brock Berlin or Shaun Hill.
The Bengals need some help on their team. But this was the No. 1 problem on their team if you ask me. Not getting off the field on third down killed the Bengals. This problem has hurt them for years.
And it made everything else on their team seem worse. Their offense looked pretty good. But they always seemed to be pressing (especially Carson Palmer). And usually it was because they weren't on the field very long, and when they were on the field, they were usually having to score.
Marvin Lewis ran one of the greatest defensive teams in the recent history of the NFL when he ran the Baltimore Ravens. He needs to find a D coordinator who believes in his philosophy. I don't think that Bresnahan did.
