Name a S in the league as big as Higgins.
Point being, CIN has a lot of big skill players. In an era where most LBs and DBs are getting a little smaller than they were 20 years ago because everyone is trending towards speed and quickness. Well, you're going to give something up in tackling efficiency when those guys face bigger skill players.

Fair. It did seem like it was mostly secondary guys struggling. And Perine does run hard. Noticed him the week before running over people.
