Tiger Beat: Who's Hot and Who's Not

WHO'S TERRIBLE: (they all need to be gone within the next year)

Marvin Lewis can't manage the game. He wastes timeouts and challenges and squanders scoring opportunities.

Carson Palmer thinks he's playing madden and 'deciphers' the coverage before every snap, then throws into triple coverage after they easily fool him.

Dennis Roland is the worst right tackle ever, he can't block anyone or even pick the correct pass-rusher to be manhandled by.

Quan Cosby has Keiwan Ratliff syndrome. Hesitate... Hesitate... Now Sideways

Leon Hall is ridiculously inconsistent. Every other play he's six yards out of position. How many times has he been targeted this year to get those four picks, I wonder.

Bob Bratkowski is a prick.

Tom Nelson, what can he do? Can't tackle. Can't cover. Can't contain.

Robert Geathers is great at engaging the blocker for as long as possible yet still missing every opportunity to seal the edge or contain the quarterback.

Dhani Jones jumps on every fake hand-off the offense runs.

T.O. and Cedric Benson can't concentrate for an entire game. A fumble here, a dropped pass there, who's counting.

WHO'S FRUSTRATING:

Domata Peko often gets blown off the line and only makes plays when a bigger body is next to him (Pat Sims)

Bernard Scott usually runs directly into the area of the field with the heaviest traffic during kick-offs

Bobbie Williams and Andrew Whitworth draw too many penalties and false starts given their experience.

Kyle Cook completely misses an assignment or fails to slide the protection a couple times a game.

Rey Maualuga religiously over pursues the run.

Chinedum Ndukwe has a questionable degree of control over his body

WHO'S A PART OF THE SOLUTION, INSTEAD OF THE PROBLEM:

Rivers,  Joseph,  Shipley,  Atkins,  Dunlap,  Gresham,  Sims,  M.Johnson,  A.Jones,  and Trent.
