Some of that is coaching. Some of it is drafting guys that don't fit our scheme.

This is the team that brought in James Harrison to play LB when he's really a 4-3 DE over other LB's because of cost.

I think part of the issue with Dennard is that he was a boundary CB at Mich St., and a pretty darn good one.   His entire pro career with the Bengals, he's been asked to play the slot corner role.  It could just be by his body size (5'11"), and maybe they just want a little more length to their outside corners, but I don't think that Dennard has ever become completely comfortable playing the interior of the field.
