We are a 3-4. I feel like the cat is out the bag. A hybrid/interchangeable 3-4 but his scheme is a 3-4. That's how I took this article.
Didn't see this before, we talk about it every Offseason and it never happens. Most of the best Defenses now are 3-4 and it
is a good time to make the change. I am taking this as we are more likely to take a 3-4 LB or a CB in the 2nd if they don't
address these needs in FA. A Safety like Delpit would be awesome.
Makes me think they may address OL in FA which makes me feel better.
The Defense will take some time in this transition to be sure.
I just hope with Burrow coming in, us improving the OL, adding a WR in this deep WR class can score us a lot of points to
make it easier in the transition.

I too, remembered reading that. Glad that you took the time to show it to the rest of us. And, I think that the Bengals moving to be a 3-4 base is a good thing. As they infuse the correct personnel, and the existing vets get used to playing a 3-4, the amount of time that they'll have to spend in Nickle should decrease.
I honestly think a lot of our players could thrive in a 3-4...
Hubbard, Geno, Dunlap, Pratt and even Lawson if he can learn to cover a touch.
