In every one of his pre-draft visits with a defensive prospect, Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo showed the exact same moment from the Bengals’ Round 2 win in the playoffs over the Tennessee Titans.
On first and 10 with 2:43 left in the fourth quarter of a tie game, the Titans handed the ball off to All-Pro running back Derrick Henry. With the way the Titans designed the run, Henry had a one-on-one matchup in space with Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.
If Henry broke the tackle, then he would have had a 20-plus yard gain. But Awuzie perfectly read what was happening in front of him, sprinted into the play, knocked down Henry’s stiff arm and tackled him.
