Now, which other receiver would you like?
It wasn't that bad. When Ben is healthy and AB is, it's almost always a clinic. Only bad football people think that doesn't ever happen but that's just a bad example. AB does that to a lot of people.
It's about matchups. A tall lanky CB like Dre is naturally going to struggle with a guy like Brown.
A shorter quicker CB like Pacman won't.
Dre does a damn fine job on the other 2 WR. Bryant ain't no slouch.

Dre is THE weakness in the secondary. Is he God awful? Almost, but not quite.....he sure as shit isn't worth 7.5 mil.....No. Way.
And yes Leonard....I used that example to show the switch off that someone said the Bengals never do....and the targeting that "doesn't happen".
If Dre is the weak spot but Leon is servicable...IDK man...Leon got roasted bad against Pittsburgh the last two years. Luckily he gets hidden in the slot or allowed to cover a TE. He got abused on the fatal drive you brought up by Brown out of the slot. At this stage both qualify as serviceable.
Leon played 61% of snaps.
Dre played 95% of snaps.
I haven't actually seen anyone (sane) say he is.
