Also he is still under 30 so it could be just a down year.
It's impossible to determine.
He's had microfracture surgery and a bunch of concussions. Those point to his play declining.
He's also being targeted by the NFL and trying to tackle different.
What I can't explain is why he just tackles a TE when the TE runs a route.
Further more the Bengals could make a trade like they get a third in 2019 and if Vontaz doesn't play a percentage of snaps by suspension or injury then they could give up a pick back in return like a 5th.
