True, his deep coverage was outstanding last year. Him and a healthy Iloka are the best at this in the league IMO.
He looked fast out there so that is a great thing i just saw him miss some tackles he has made in the past.

Hes always been a big hitter for us although got flagged for a few of them (even when clean)
The picks was a nice change last year our defense hasnt been doing much of that since that magical 05 season.
Reggie has been flagged tons of times on BS calls no question.

In watching the games last year, when there was a missed tackle, I was surprised how many times it was Reggie that missed. Not saying that he was a liability, I would say that his tackling went from really good, to perhaps just above average. Perhaps we were spoiled because he rarely missed tackles for so many years, then he started missing a few. Perhaps it was just on off year.
The good news is this. Seems the Bengals are back to working a deal with Reggie.

This is what i am talkin about, thanks for the update.
Completely agree with you BTW, hopefully we were spoiled and it was just an off year for Reggie (tackle wise) and he is back.
Lets get er done.
