The Cincinnati Bengals continued their busy offseason with the introduction of newly-hired defensive coordinator, Al Golden, formerly of Notre Dame.

Stemming is a pre-snap motion for the defense but slanting and stunting is essentially a post snap motion for the defense. Slanting is taking the defensive line and moving them to a different position after the snap. Often accompanied by a blitz of some kind or at least sending a linebacker or defensive back while dropping a player on the front.

Al Golden, the newly appointed defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, is determined to bring about significant changes to the team's defense. Golden, who previously served as the Bengals' linebackers coach from 2020-21, has returned to the team after a successful stint as the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame.
