I've been on AD's case from time to time, but he is far far far removed from being a problem. He's a tremendous asset at this point and is doing everything reasonable to keep the Bengals in games.
The Online is killing him and the coaching as to how to adjust to that clearly is lacking. The players should be breaking up field when a player breaks down. Instead they stop and block or stand there covered. That's not on AD (who is looking up field if you watch) that's coaching and game prep. The Steelers have it figured out. The Bengals don't. It would have been a different game yesterday if they planned for pass protect break downs and where the WRs reroute when AD breaks pocket.
