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.

Completely agree on DK. He's still not good really with man coverage. I think that's why some people actually pegged him more as a FS actually, but I think the main reason he couldn't be a FS in the NFL is because he's a twig.
