According to FootballOutsiders here are how the Bengals defense has ranked at covering TEs over the last 5 years.

'12.... 12
'13....  9
'14....  4
'15.... 12
'16.... 17
'17.... 30

So we were really not that bad at all until last year.  Any thoughts on why that was?

Jim Haslett.... Not trying  to bash our coaches here, in fact I like the new blood. That said, I've been watching Haslett for years, and I've watched him ruin a good defense and LBer corps on more than one occasion. Not sure if what he does bring to the table is worth the bad things that he also brings with his coaching philosophy.
