Marvin Lewis was a 4-3 Defense guy. That doesn't mean the new coaches will be. Word is the Florida Coach is high on D coach list. Well, in NFL and College he has used the 3-4 at times and is still known for his great D Lines and getting after the QB. Bengals 2 Super Bowl Teams were 3-4 LeBeau type Defenses. So I'm just saying Marvin Is Gone, and CHANGES are wide open. Now I know there are more complicated terms for modern defenses, but Marvin was mostly a 2 Defensive Tackle guy. That doesn't mean the new coaches will be. They might prefer a Nose Guard like a Krumrie and a Pass Rushing Down Linebacker James Harrison type. Marvin Is Gone.
Myself, I would like to see Bengals have the players to play 3-4 and 4-3. Zone or One on One. The QBs are pretty good and with these touch football rule changes, maybe you have to mix it up and throw everything and the kitchen sink at these QBs to keep them from putting 50 points on the board. Hanks Defense in 1981 to Super Bowl was the other QB had no idea who was blitzing. He really mixed it up on defense and Bengals went Super Bowl. LeBeau mixed it up getting us to 1988 Super Bowl. Just seems the more packages you can run, it makes it harder on the QB. Dynasty Patriots mix their D up, hard for a QB to read it.
