Even Maualuga has been solid when playing zone to keep the ball in front of him. And we know how he is in coverage. 

The problem is when there isn't a blitz and the TE is moving across the field, or a WR moves across the field or a RB moves across the field...our LBs can't follow them without getting a few steps behind. 

I agree, and even mentioned that in that situation, it's advantage offense.  I certainly hope that if the Bengals don't get a stud DT in the 1st round, that they go for the best athletic, 3 down LB that is on the board.
