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?
All great questions, it is all of those things. But bottom line your Corners have to be able to play both Zone and Man coverage.
WJ3 was not a good Zone Corner at times and we all saw it when he got beat. He got confused in Zone.
Understandable, I sucked in Zone in basketball but was good at Man on Defense. Just a different mind set you have to adapt to.
