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?

Jackson was drafted back when they played more of a man cover scheme, IIRC.
I agree though that this says a lot if you need to get rid of players who aren't good fits to your defensive scheme vs adjusting your scheme to fit your players. That's on Lou (and Zac for offense).
I'm a bit puzzled by the addition of Waynes. He's never really been much of a zone guy, I thought? I guess we'll see on him this year.
