I agree our pass rush is lacking at times, but it's been blown coverage after blown coverage and technique issues with CTB. He just hasn't been a good cover corner this year.
Steelers, bless their heart, knew what they were doing when they traded up to get Joey Porter, Jr. in the 2nd round. CB is a vitally important position and Porter was a finalist last year for defensive rookie of the year and getting praise again this year. Bengals really need to find a shutdown corner in the upcoming draft. The problem is they have so many needs. I was hopeful about CTB, but he's been beat so many times this year that it has been killing the Bengals defense.
