Time to give the defense some love

I watch almost every game every week and watch CB's get beat for long TD's every week, I see poor tackling by CB's as well. No doubt, Dre was not playing well early, but no way he is the worst starting CB of over 3 other CB's per team on average in the NFL.

I am curious, for those of us who don't get PFF, what was his weekly ranking last week against the Rams?

I have seen major improvement of late and have yet to remember him giving up a long TD in 2015, but I am old so may be wrong. I know there was an issue with a broken coverage blamed on Lemur by coaches at one home game (Seattle), but can't remember any others. I also think the Bengals defense is #1 in the NFL giving up plays of over 30 yards so I am not sure how we could have any CB ranked that poorly.

As far as I know, that ranking comes from whatever PFF's new system is. You'd have to ask Truck about it. PFF posted that little tidbit on Twitter. That's about all I see from PFF. As for Dre, I don't think he's #112 out of #113, but Dre was definitely rough to watch earlier this season.
