Bengals defenders looking forward to specific coaching changes
Quietly, linebacker could be one of the biggest overhauled positions on the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason. Germaine Pratt demanding a trade is the headliner. But linebackers Akeem Davis-Gaither and Joe Bachie are free agents too, leaving Maema Njongmeta and Shaka Heyward as notables on the rsoter. Then there's the matter of coaching. Coordinator Lou Anarumo is out and Al Golden is in, with Golden the former linebackers coach during the Super Bowl run. It's Bachie who says he's looking forward to a changeup as things shift to new linebackers coach Mike Hodges -- not that there was anything wrong with Golden and James Bettcher. "I think Hodges can bring that younger feel. There's nothing wrong with the two LB coaches I've had here, so far," Bachie said, according to Geoff Hobson of "I think just a new fresh face, a fresh start in there for guys like Logan (Wilson) just to see and be around." RELATED: Hodges, under the direction of Golden, could be tasked with some critical development of rookies or veteran newcomers if the Bengals don't bring back one or both of ADG and Bachie. But Bachie joins Wilson in expressing plenty of public confidence about where things are headed for the unit after the coaching changes. Will Bengals cut Geno Stone as defensive overhaul begins?
