Enquirer beat writers Paul Dehner Jr. and Jim Owczarski wrap up the first week of Cincinnati Bengals training camp. Sam Greene, sgreene@enquirer.com
Two days before training camp opened, Teryl Austin leaned back in a chair in the club level of Paul Brown Stadium and had an immediate answer to the question of where he wanted to see the most improvement out of his group in 2018: “Number one, we have to shore up our run defense.”
While Austin’s style as a play-caller will be more discernible once regular season games begin, and he hasn’t been shy about saying he wants the back end of his defense to be more aggressive, he’s not wrong in saying the Cincinnati Bengals could be better against stopping the run.
