The Bengals needed a safety and they got a good one. But he has had exactly one year of success so far. He is a 7th round pick who was waived a number of times, back and forth on the practice squad, picked up by Houston and let go, and then had a terrific year last year. But even with the good pass defense last year, he was very poor in run defense. For example, last year 12.5% of the tackles he was in position to make he failed on.
After Scott last year, I'm hesitate to praise the pick until I see a second good year out of him. We all hope it is this year. And I hope what posters, including yourself I believe, are saying about his talent at communicating is valid.
I would have rather a sure things like Justin Simmons, who was all-pro (2nd team) four times, whereas Geno Stone didn't even make the pro bowl last year. But I certainly hope the Bengals found a gem.
