And "Bowen's" defenses have given the Bengals a lot of problems. Yeah. I totally understand that Bowen may have Vrabel's stank all over him...but I can't really say I've looked at our defense the past few years and thought that our DC was an issue. Bad games happen, but overall what defense has consistently played KC as well as we have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad games happen, but overall what defense has consistently played KC as well as we have? Let’s look at the facts Bowen is far from a bad DC, the reality is the problem with our defense isn’t Shane, it’s we have a bunch of bums on the defensive side of the ball. Aside from big Jeff & Autry we have mediocre talent at LB, S, & CB let’s be real. Landry is solid but he doesn’t move the needle, he’s a Derrick Morgan, a Tony brown, just a solid guy. I can vouch for Bowen because he can call a good sometimes great defensive game depending on which Fulton shows on Sunday, or if Simmons, Autry & Landry show up wrecking havoc.. we expect so much from Bowen as fans but what does he has to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yeah, Bowen as DC I would not mind. He looked good in 22, then not great this year, but with constant injuries and whatnot, who can blame him? Obviously rather have the Ravens DB coach, but if McDonald splits, he's probably staying in Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin615$ Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I think Buck Reising said it but a first time HC, first time play caller, and a first time DC would all be a nerve racking thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
615finest Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 I wonder if we’ll promote Anthony Levine.. he’s supposed to be the next big thing for special teams coordinator soon. I remember us debating if we would take Outten as an OC last season lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Man, bringing back Terrell Williams and Chris Harris would be fantastic. Our DBs have been awful, but Harris was just here a year, and he's got a great track record previously. If it keeps them on hand, keeping Bowen makes a lot of sense. You have to think that the front office is at least considering keeping everyone who hasn't been fired. Otherwise I'm not sure why they haven't been let go. I'd also be happy for Outten to stick around. Spears was great out the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
