Mike Hilton PFF grade over since he's been on the Bengals.
2021-72.3
2022-73.4
2023-39.2
The guy has been damn good for us during his tenure here but this season his play has fallen off a cliff according to PFF.
Also according to pro football reference advanced stats he has missed 3 tackles so far. Last season he only missed 6 for the whole season.

He's always been quick at the line of scrimmage but slow in coverage. In the AFCCG last year when he missed the botched snap I knew it wasn't our day. I believe he will be replaced next year if not during the season by a younger player. He really is a liability trying to cover the faster wrs.

I don't know. He had the tipped pass that Logan picked off. He also about had a big tackle for loss on the browns but got blocked in the back. I think he is the least of our troubles on the defense let alone the team as a whole.

Hilton just has off days
I am not worried about him missing tackles at all.

Sure feels like the Chiefs absolutely picked on him in the playoffs and all teams took note. Not sure why he suddenly can't tackle, though.

I did notice him getting bullied in the AFCCG last year, and that might be a continuing trend. If it continues hopefully Turner is able to step into that role. His speed will be nice at least.
It's easy to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with grey.

I've noticed it too just based on the eye test. He's been lost in coverage at times and I've seen him get destroyed by blocks multiple times. He got crushed by one in the Ravens game.
He looks slow to me - idk if he's showing his age or what. He's 29.
If he continues to struggle its just another hole we need to fill this off-season.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

And a deep dive will show he’s not the only one. This isn’t all on the staff, Joe, WR, and OL.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
