And I gotta say...not much. I was excited when they drafted him because we needed another good CB but he just hasn't panned out. Injuries really hampered him and I think playing nickel CB is not his strength. He's a boundary corner in my opinion, whereas Shaw is the much better slot guy. Just another example of the Bengals coaching staff trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
Thats the thing, i really like Dennard but you are completely correct about his strengths and about what he has done so far.
Shaw was one of, if not the best Slot CB's in the league last year and Dennard has always played good on the edge, not the Slot.
