Kevin Coyle off to rocky start in Cincinnati

This time last year, Kevin Coyle and Bill Lazor still worked for the Miami Dolphins.

Coyle coordinated their defense; Lazor called the plays on offense. Each was ultimately fired throughout the course of the 2015 season.


On Thursday, they will try to beat their old team. Coyle and Lazor are now position coaches for the Cincinnati Bengals.


But some of the issues that helped derail Coyle’s time here have followed him to a new address.


Word out of Cincinnati is that there’s already friction in the defensive backs meeting room, which he leads.


They might have a point. The Bengals have gotten torched this year in a way they hadn’t under now-Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.


The secondary has already allowed nine passing touchdowns, second-most in the league. New Broncos starter Trevor Siemian torched the Bengals Sunday for 312 yards and four scores in Denver’s 29-17 road victory. The Bengals surrendered two touchdown passes over 40 yards Sunday; they gave up just six pass plays of that length in each of Joseph’s last two years in Cincinnati.


Players are particularly upset with some of Coyle’s technique instructions; at least one player believes he’s coaching them not to lose instead of coaching them to win.


If this sounds familiar, it should. Dolphins players privately (and at times, even publicly) were critical of Coyle’s scheme and the way he interacted with him. One Dolphins player who was personally fond of Coyle said Monday that he wasn’t surprised that friction has followed him to a new city.

I had forgotten that he went to the Bengals, maybe we have a chance after all.
 
Vance Joesph knows Cincinnati well too. but I fear that Joesph was not a good hire for us. I really wanted Jim Schwartz
 
I'm sure they'll coach the game of their lives and kick our teeth in. how could you expect anything else from this team?
 
I don't understand how any organization in the NFL looks at Coyle's tenure with the Dolphins and thinks... "Now there's someone I need to hire to help improve my team."

It was his work at the Bengals that got him rehired......besides it's a fraternity when it comes to coaches. Ask Philbin and Sparano.
 
If we've learned anything about Coyle's scheme, it's that it struggles against mobile QB's. Hope to see Ryan move around more Thursday night.
 
Hopefully we are ready to attack the CB's when they play 10 yards off the ball every single play.

The Dolphins wanted him too. However he was not interested in Miami for whatever reason. as for Joseph, I will give him a few more weeks before I get a good read on his abilities.

Jim Schwartz has Philly's defense looking stout. Where as Vance Joseph's defense has left much to be desired. With the talent we have, I don't expect things to get better any time soon...
 
Philly as a team had great talent all over the field.

Brandon Graham is a stud, Mike Jenkins is a true center fielder. Kendricks is a stud LB too.

The holy grail for that D is Fletcher Cox. That is a man..
