Not sure where you heard that.
“Now he’s just playing MIKE, and that’s what he loves,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “Some teams will try to get him out of the box, get him out of the way and run it the other way, so now they can’t out-formation us to get him out of the mix of things.”
He went on to say, “I’m starting to play a little faster day-by-day. The hands are different, the eyes are different. Who you’re on … I enjoy it. It’s my natural spot.”
As for the 3 down Mike, hopefully that's Brown.
