3rd down defense

[TheMaulClaw]

So 6/7 on third downs for the Bengals.  What's happened to this defense and why can't we get off the field on 3rd down?  We're leaving the middle of the field wide open for these guys.  If we're going to have a shot at winning this game, we have to do a better job of bracketing coverage.  It's very annoying to continue to see the defensive coordinator have no faith in the secondary.  At some point we won't be able to afford having the safeties constantly play a prevent defense out of fear of being beat deep.  What I'm seeing is a defense being called based on the philosophy of being reactionary as opposed to dictating to the offense.  This must be a second half adjustment to have any realistic shot at winning this game.  If we make this adjustment Cam will lead us home.  If the defensive calls are made out of fear then not only will we lose this game, our season may go down the drain. 

 

Gettleman you brought these secondary guys in.  Let them play. You will lose if you're more worried about protecting sub par players.  Now go sack Dalton and win the fugging game pls.

At one point pre-snap I legitimately looked at Charles Godfrey's assignment on third down and said "He's going to make a catch on Godfrey for the first down."

 

 

 

 

He made a catch on him for the first down.

They have gone after Godfrey on almost every 3rd down. We need Benewikere back ASAP.

Godfrey is officially a liability.
