As a note, Kirkpatrick played zone almost exclusively in college. There wasn't any film on him in man coverage when he was coming out and that was one of the issues fans had about selecting him.
The Bengals play both man and zone, depending on what they want to do on that particular play. Adam Jones can do either. Dennard can also. Willie Jackson is good in man and he'll be our best corner soon.
The comment about Kirkpatrick is seriously false. He was a stud corner in college who could man up and seriously hit. Watch his college highlights (I watched too many of them non stop due to a family member man crushing him)
Kirk used to lay the wood and cover everything..which is why he was regarded as a 1st rounder. He’s changed.
