But I have to admit, dude doesn't quit.
Holding, that is.
Hips weren't that fluid either which is not good for a CB. Being able to turn your hips is crucial in being a good Corner.
But i agree with Weezy here, Dre has been much better this season..

Sure he has a mistake every once in awhile, but he has been solid for the most part.

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.
All great points.
