Mike Zimmer vs. Brian Stewart

[CowboyManDan]

This week Zimmer and Stewart will be facing each other as defensive coordinators. What do you expect to see from these defenses...

Stew better get the best of this battle!

 

[dbair1967]

battle of horse crap and cow crap...they might look a little different, but they both stink and are still crap

 

[Hypnotoad]

Advantage goes to Zimmer, he knows us and our players.

Their limitations and their strengths. He will have a long meeting with the offensive coordinator and help them game plan.

Advantage goes to the Bengals offense

um, no

 

[dbair1967]

Advantage goes to the Bengals offense

likewise, our offense vs a totally inept defensive coordinator

and our offense is better than theirs in every way, shape and form

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Wow, people actually want Zimmy back...jeebus!

They have a better receiving core and you could argue that Carson is at least as good as Romo, might be the best pure passer in the league. This season, we have been better but the Bengals have talent on offense.

:bang2: Parcells fired Zimmer, we still didn't do JACK with the defense after Zimm was gone.

We got our wish back then, but still no dominant defense. Now we still think we have the answer, but people refuse to blame the guy who created this defense and approves the calls.

Excuse me while I jump off a cliff now, and stop applauding.

One defense blitzes the other doesn't. According to Todd Archer, Dallas blitzed roughtly 45% of the time against Washington. Zimmer is up to his old tricks again as the Bengals rank last in sacks and pass attempts/sack ratio. The Bengals are currently dead last with 87 pass attempts per 1 sack. The nearest team to that are the Chiefs who are way better at 38 pass attempts per 1 sack. The "we don't blitz" and "we don't get to the QB" is a bunch of bunk, particularly when compared to Zimmer whom I'm not sure why he still has a job as a D-Coordinator in the league.

People act as if we had Dware on the team while zimmer was hear.

you play an aggressive D w/ Cincy's players, and you get a QB running around for 14 seconds, and hitting a WR for 87 yards for a TD

The worst thing is they have more INT's on the season than we do

But it's happened every year under Zimmer regardless of personnel. He goes to a 3-4 with Parcells, it happens. He goes to Atlanta and back to the 4-3 and it happens. Now he goes to Cincy and their ability to sack the QB gets worse.

Last year when he was in Atlanta he did an interview and point blank he said that "if you want to improve your defensive stats, you focus on the pass because most of the yards on defense come from the pass. But, I want to stop the run first and foremost."

In one year under Wade/Stewart, Dallas recorded 46 sacks which is the most for a Dallas team since 1994. The year before they recorded 34 sacks.

No matter what you think of Zimmer, his defenses won't sack the QB at a high rate. And no matter what you think of Wade, his defenses most likely will sack the QB at a high rate. Doesn't necessarily make them good or bad defenses if they can or cannot sack the QB, but that's a glaring difference in their style of defense.
