I don't want to move Shaw out of the nickel CB position. No way, no how. I think that is such a critical position against today's dink and dunk offenses. And he's soaring.
Dennard just needs to keep playing. He needs to get his confidence back. The Miami game was a step in the right direction. He just needs to get more and more NFL game experience. His accumulated snaps still puts him at close to rookie status. I remember seeing Hall stink up the joint his rookie season and thinking he will never contribute, yet at one point years later, I saw him as one of the best in the league.
I would get Dennard in there over Adam Jones any time the Bengals have a significant lead. Keep Jones fresh and get Dennard snaps against a team that will have to be airing it out. Dennard is probably more a part of the future plans than Kirkpatrick. I doubt the Bengals will sign him long term. Dennard, WJIII, and next year's first round pick will be the future with Shaw as the nickel and Jones as the stop-gap.
