The news that has been percolating for the two weeks since the Patriots beat Pittsburgh in the AFC divisional playoffs becomes fact today when Bengals head coach Bruce Coslter engineers a quick raid on one of the jewels of the AFC Central and absconds with the zone blitz and creator Dick LeBeau one day after he leaves the Steelers as defensive coordinator. LeBeau returns to the same town where he gave birth to the zone blitz during the previous decade and Coslet gives him the same job here, the same one he had for eight seasons in Cincy in a reunion of the Bengals’ 1988 Super Bowl coordinators.
