I want a FS who can be a ball hawk and cover, not just someone who is fast and athletic.
Who is to say Tycen cannot be a ball hawk that can cover? You have to be fast and athletic to do so.

Exactly. Tycen was a ballhawk in preseason as well the year before last at times before the bad injury.
Not going to hurt seeing what Tycen can do in real games. We have seen what Stone does in real games and it is be a weak spot.

It's not like the Bengals have any other safeties causing/getting turnovers.
You must not of watched the preseason games last year before he got hurt.
He shown the skill set of a Free Safety during that preseason.
I don't trust the coaches to make a change though, especially on Defense.
All they have done is be the worst adjusting Defense in the league this year.

Yep, bad fundamentals brought on by poor coaching and laziness.
