Show Notes
Another miserable showing by the defense places Paul and Jay near the epicenter of 'how does Cincinnati fix their defense' discourse. So, is it possible for the Bengals to improve their stop unit? The guys explore that, the Geno Atkains/Carlos Dunlap usage kerfuffle and more. Among less likely options to improve the front line, could the club orchestrate a trade before next week's deadline, and if so, who could be on their radar? PDJ and Jay react to Zac Taylor's comments regarding his coaching staff's efficacy and his trust in his subordinates, specifically, when it comes to defensive coordinator, Lou Anarumo. Anarumo then speaks about the defense, himself, and diagnoses the issues plaguing the team thus far and how to improve his squad. Lastly, Jay kicks in some stats that delineate Anarumo's performance as DC, plus an Anarumo-centric RPB.
