He now just leads with a strong shoulder, thinking he's going to knock guys down on contact. I got a newsflash for him, it ain't working. He should drop 15#, work on mobility and go back to what made him good to begin with, if he has any hope of making money with the Bengals or any other team.
Yes sir, it is evident when watching him play. It is always about a strip or hit to knock the ball out, rarely a wrap up tackle and the runner gets 3 to 8 extra yards.
Maybe the new coaching will help, but if coaching isn't causing that I cut him.
I do think if we had someone other than Trey able to consistently get into the backfield all LBs, CBs and Safeties would have better years.
When our defense was really good, if I remember correctly, we had Geno pushing OGs into the QBs face a heck of a lot.
