I think this is the concerning thing... you make Ohio State dink and dunk and get some pressure with 4, they become very human or even downright pedestrian at times. But Golden blitzes *a lot* and they have generally shredded teams that have been aggressive because they have big play ability from both backs and receivers. No Mills and our DEs are not high pressure rate guys... we're definitely going to blitz I would think... and those pressures have to get home or else.

Cincinnati is a good spot for any DC, the team is going to be fine going forward and the division as a whole looks to be down.Really dumb move to take a pay cut to leave a stable situation for a DC job where the HC has a life expectancy of about 10 months.
And Golden doesn’t seem like a dumb move guy.
*And an elite DL that gets pressure with 4. We have zero edge pressure w/out blitzing.People tend to forget Michigan beat Ohio State without Will Johnson
Don’t they play a 3-4?Also call me crazy, but I have a feeling Mike Tressel would be on MF short list of replacements.
I'm not sure without looking, but didn't Freeman mainly run a 3-3-5 when he was DCDon’t they play a 3-4?

Not sure I could see them going back to a 3-3-5 maybe Morrison comes back lol 😂I'm not sure without looking, but didn't Freeman mainly run a 3-3-5 when he was DC
I mean next year you should Bothelo, Boubacar, Burgess, Bryant, Thomas, Burnham should all be legit pass rushersWe don’t really have the DLinman to play 3 down
Amen to that!Not sure I could see them going back to a 3-3-5 maybe Morrison comes back lol 😂
You kinda need a Louis Nix-style war daddy in the middle and - unless it's Big Sean - I don't see that guy on our roster. As for all those pass rushers, they're great, but except for Bryant and maybe Burnham the guys you mention aren't really big enough to play on the line in a 3-4.I mean next year you should Bothelo, Boubacar, Burgess, Bryant, Thomas, Burnham should all be legit pass rushers
Who does Golden take with him if he does leave? I know him and Bullough have a good relationship and I’d hate to see him go. He’s done a great job with the LB.In the Irish Illustrated instant analysis that came out post press conference yesterday it felt like Priester kinda hinted that it’s a done deal that Golden is going to leave and Mickens is going to take over
Assuming you believe their defensive issues are all schematic. Or their defensive roster can be turned around in one off season. Because one more flop and Taylor should be out on his ass.Cincinnati is a good spot for any DC, the team is going to be fine going forward and the division as a whole looks to be down.
Taylor is not necessarily on the hot seat, especially if burrow likes him. Marvin Lewis was there for 16 seasons without winning a playoff game. He got an extension following a losing season multiple times, including after a 4-12 season in 2010.Assuming you believe their defensive issues are all schematic.

Prister "a" defensive coordinator not "the" defensive coordinator... very subtle yet important distinction I feel.Prister had an interesting phrasing on the short Instant Analysis pod (18JAN). He was talking to Golden, and his question was "If and when the time comes that Mike Mickens is named the defensive coordinator, what gives you the confidence that he'll be ready ..."
Maybe I'm reading too much into that, tho.

But to the point, weird timing to be bringing it up.
