You watch the games for the past two years and the eye ranking will tell you the same. His peers feel the same way. Just because he is a Bengals does not mean he can't suck.
I hope for him to have a great game. I have said as much in Game Day threads. Reality he is the biggest liability on defense, easily. He will get a pass break up, people, including himself will act like he is Revis. He will bite inside, give up 30 yards or a TD and everyone gets quiet again. I didn't get an answer on who is a worse starting defender.
Today, we are also adding in that he gets on the internet like a 15 year old kid who talks crap on the internet. As much crap as the O-line has been in the past number of years, you don't hear them say anything, or anything said about them by fellow players. Why Apple? Because he pretty much sucks when it comes to personality.
First again this is not the time to look for weak links to replace that is offseason talk.
He will look into the backfield at the QB to try to jump a route and get a pick then get beat deep. Cam said he was doing the same thing and him and Apple needed to clean this up. Pacman said the same in a Bleav podcast stop looking in the backfield. They had a guest from the Bengals on that day and Pacman said get him word to stop that because he is a great cover corner if he just stops looking at the QB.
Again I refuse to say who I think the worst defender on D might be because this is not the offseason.
It sounds like you do not want Apple to celebrate at all if he makes a good play which is just crazy talk since all players celebrate on O or D when they make good plays. Well 99% of them do.
As far as social media goes it is his spare time he can do as he wishes with that as long as he is not breaking the law which would in turn hurt the team. The only issue that might arise from that is if Zac does not think it goes in line with the culture he has built here. But that is Zac's decision to make not ours.
P.S. If you think we got a better corner on the team right now call for him to replace Apple that is the only option, you got right now in my eyes for a change.
