Pass rush from the interior suddenly invisible

[Fan_in_Kettering]

The Bengals’ defensive line works this way: The pass rush comes from the defensive ends and the run stuffing comes from the defensive tackles. The sacks are primarily made by Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson while most of the tackles for loss against the run are made by BJ Hill and Larry Ogunjobi.

The idea against the pass is to have Hill and Ogunjobi eat up at least three blockers while Hendrickson and Hubbard each fight off a single blocker. Against the run it’s the opposite.
