You're jumping ahead a bit but it certainly sounds like that's how it will turn out. :)

I'm extremely excited for next year now. our defense will be instantly turned around under Coach Zimmer. Just hope he brings in a creative Offensive coordinator and we'll be looking good.

I hope you are right, but if he shifts to the 3-4, I think there will be at least one season of growing pains. Not a lot of talent in that back 7.

Zimmer has always run the 4-3 everywhere he's been, outside of one season with the Cowboys under Parcells.

@RapSheet #Bengals LB coach Paul Guenther is still deciding if he wants to join Mike Zimmer in Minnesota or stay in Cincy as DC.
