Summary

After covering what we should expect from Al Golden's fronts as he takes over at defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, part 2 examines Golden's coverage preferences from Notre Dame. Jake Liscow and James Rapien are joined by Mike Santagata (bengalstalk.com, Always Gameday in Cincinnati podcast) to break down how Notre Dame managed to be so good playing so much single high man coverage despite teams knowing what was coming, overcoming plenty of injuries along the way, and how that could manifest differently in the NFL with the Bengals.
