To be accused of playing “catch and tackle” is an extreme insult to a defensive back. That’s like accusing an offensive lineman of whiffing on blocks on purpose. “Catch and tackle” means the defensive back ALLOWS a completion THEN makes a tackle; it’s how you play prevent defense in garbage time when you’re way ahead.
To be fair to the Bengals, before last week when we had to play all back up CBs our pass defense was top 10 in the league (8th in pass efficiency allowed).
It was the only thing we were doing well.
