What happened to our aggressive defense?

I was just thinking the same thing. I guess it's understandable with a couple of youngsters in Clark and Taylor back there but I think it goes to show how key Bowen is to this team.

Seems like they bring in Springs a lot on the blitz, which is great, but overall something does feel different about the defense. Still, they're carrying this team. No question about that

with the inexpirience in the back field, as well as the increased amounts of injuries it's not all that suprising but u could definitely tell Williams enjoyed using bowen as a blitzer and bowen was pretty good at disguising the blitzes. I've been kind of suprised to not see washington used more off the blind side as a blitzer or even marshall. hoepfully we'll see some more aggressive blitzes this week against the rookie, even though he's handled it all pretty damn well thus far but if cinci can get 7 sacks against them we should be able to atleast get a few.
