Bobcat Bengal Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 From what I've heard, Bresnahan is quite the tough guy.Maybe we need that jolt from the sidelines.Y'know, a coach to get in/light a fire underneath the player's asses.

chrishcovga Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 The answer to the question Fellas' is NO !We don't have a guy on our defense that is a punch you in the mouth, get your own damn self up type of leader. Our defense is seriously lacking a player that can put the defense on his back and say " I'm gonna make a play " and then go make one !* I personally don't want a Defensive Co-ordinator to put a fire under guys, although it helps. However I want defensive players to want to put a fire under their own damn selves. Self Motivated players are true leaders, Once we get a few guys like that on defense, then we'll be fine.

semiotter Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 My vote goes to KEVIN KAESVIHARN...Many you would not have thinked he would last this long. But he now has 5 years in the NFL. Kevin plays both def. and on special teams. He had 62 tackles and 43 of them were solo. Had his 1st TD this year to also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 our one guy that our defense is molded around is Brian Simmons. Hes been there the longest and is a solid leader. But hes not a s**t talker and not very vocal. He lets his actions speak louder than words. Which is great but we need a guy, which is and was supposed to be nate have his ability coincide with his words/attitude. We need a guy that can fire up our defense in the worst of situations. We need a guy thats gonna call plays and hype others up.I agree the D needs a more fiery leader. It may simply be that the defense in '04 was a reflection of its low-key coordinator, Frazier, and that a more up-tempo DC would encourage more heat. Certainly, Marvin's comments about the need to take the D to the next level suggest he's thinking something along those lines. top-shelf playmaker. Is there anyone on D we'd really miss, if tBut what we really need, and I've said this b is aefore,hey were a FA and walked? Anyone that keeps opposing teams' OC's up at night? That's not to say we don't have some solid NFL-caliber starters on D, we do, nor to diss promising rooks like Madieu. Lewis's comments allude to that as well; he's pointed out the disparity between what the Bengals spend on offense and what they spend on defense. Channing Crowder comes to mind when thinking about what the defense needs in terms of a run stopping, fiery leader that makes plays and has the opposing QB looking to see where he's at on the field type of player...Crowder might be on the board when the Bengals are up...Im sure Marvin is aware of what he could bring to the Bengals as a playmaker and leader...Just another name to keep in mind.Channing Crowder 6'2" 245lbs MLB Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a smart player and he's not afraid to stick his nose in there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
