The Bengals were just what the Doctor ordered to help Larry Johnson get back on track! "He's a tough runner, a hard guy to bring down," said defensive tackle Domata Peko. "He's a big man and fast. This seeemd to be an understatement for the Bengals defense which again failed to show up for the most part. Kansas City was able to domost of the things they had hoped they would be able to do against the Bengals inferior defense. The lack of tackling skills really hurt the Bengals against the Chiefs big runner Johnson. At times the Bengals defense just seemed completely overmatched After the game defensive tackle Domata Peko said "As a defense, we've got to start off strong the next game." Once again another serious understatment. With the Bengals now 1 and 5 I think everyone in the stadium knows this by now with the exception of Coach Lewis and some of the Bengals players.
The Bengals defense is just not good! Yes they are banged up but I question their ability to get the job done even if they were healthy. The lack of dicpline and constant state of confusion that the defense always seems to be in leaves one to believe that even a healthy Bengals defense would struggle. There is definately some major coaching gaps on the defensive side of the ball. The Bengals have once again become the defense that all the opposing teams look forward to playing. The Bengals defense is the best thing in the league for teams needing to gte back on track and for players who are slumping. They are the NFL's Christmas turkey for any opposing player needing to build up their stats. The Bengals defense was just the thing a sputtreing Larry Johnson needed to get his confidence back. Aftrer today, I think his confidence should be skyrocketing. I hope he keeps one thing in mind, that the defense he ran against today may be the worst in the league, and may be the worst for a long time to come! So don't get to feeling too good just yet Larry. You only gte to face the Bengals defense once this year. Growlzone.com Bengals News
