Anarumo can stay far away, that defense screwed the Bengals over this year.
But, I agree, get it done, rip the band aid and move on.
Agreed. Do it quickly

Outside of Trey Hendrickson, who did he have to work with this season?
Rich
I know it isn't popular but this is why maybe looking at Rex would help this defense. I know he's a lightning rod but he brings a defensive culture and identity.
I'd go take a shot. I believe our defense has not gotten the scrutiny it deserves because of the Jones drama and Daboll and Saquon etc

We had a guy who set a defensive culture and identity, but the whole big personality thing didn't mesh well with the head coach. Plus, Rex has been out of the league for 9 years. Is that because teams don't want him as at least a DC, or is it because they do like him as a DC, but Rex is unwilling to take another DC job?

I like Rex, but if Daboll was unable to manage Wink, how will he manage Rex?

Sometimes absence and a break is a good thing. Maybe he will be energized.
I'm so down on our defense. I've never seen teams run straight up the gut on us (even when Dex was in lineup). I will say however there were so many "holds" consistently not called in these instances. I k ow because I like to go back and watch in slow motion.

What does it say about Daboll!!!...I hope Mara knows what he's doing. I don't like some of the things I read about him tossing people under the bus. It's probably how he lasted so long in NFL
