Playing the receivers face, and failing to locate the ball, has been my biggest complaint about Darqueze Dennard.  He played that way exclusively at Michigan St. and never was able to get coached out of that habit with the Bengals.  I think that he's way too cemented in his habits to expect anything different from him, going forward.
