Considering how awful Bengals D was last year, I'm open to Change.  NEW DEY. 

Now lets look at Mahomes or Mayfield passing at will on Bengals as linebackers could not cover receivers.  The new coach from Rams says you need 5 DB's or more on the field 80 % of the time in today's pass happy NFL.

Most LB's don't have a chance trying to cover a receiver.  The new NFL rules favor a wide open passing game.  Look for more teams to use more DB's and less LB's.  The days of 4 LB's on the field are ancient history with all these receivers on the field.  Bengals plan to use 3 LB's only 20 % of the time.  A LB trying to cover a WR is an easy touchdown for the QB.

Yep. Unless you are a LB that runs a sub-4.6 40, you probably aren't going to cover a WR.
