ladiesbballcoach Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070921/SPT03/709210330/1035/SPT Actually, the defense has slipped a good bit since Lewis arrived. In his four Cincinnati seasons, the Bengals' battered unit has been ranked 28th, 19th, 28th and 30th in the 32-team NFL. (It should be noted, however, that the 2005 playoff team led the league in creating turnovers.) In the previous four - the heyday of Spikes and running mate Brian Simmons - the Bengals stood 25th, 22nd, ninth and 17th defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
