It is safe to say this feels like the most important season in the history of the Cincinnati Bengals, as the team is desperate to get back into the playoffs.
The offense has only gotten better this offseason, so now all eyes are focused on the defensive side of the football in Cincinnati.
The Bengals brought in new defensive coordinator Al Golden after his success at Notre Dame, and he is now in charge of revamping the unit that struggled most.
Golden is looking to bring a new mentality to a young defensive unit, and he believes it starts with being the B.E.S.T.
This acronym is what he wants his unit to be based on, according to Kelsey Conway.
(B) Ball disruption, (E) Energy, (S) Situational Masters, and (T) Tackling are how he will grade the defensive performances each week.
Week one against the Browns will be a massive opportunity for this unit to start the season off strong and build some much-needed confidence.
