For example:
If he struggles in zone, why did they not coach him up to be better? Coaching fail or player can't do it?
If he struggles in zone, why didn't they play more man? Coaching fail? Seems like Phillips is also better in man.
If he struggles in zone, why didn't they see this before drafting him and instead draft a guy that fit their scheme?
It seems to happen a good amount with this team and I honestly question where the failing is happening the most. Do the coaches just not know how to properly use players or not coach them up enough? Or are they just not digging deep enough on these guys to see they don't fit or can't be coached up to the Bengals scheme?
The difference between playing zone and playing man are negligible. The Bengals played a lot of zone last year and Jackson was not that bad. 95% of cover skills are the same in man and zone. Some players might be better in one than the other but a good CB can play either.
No CB that can't play zone coverage is going to be ranked in the top 10 like Jackson.
