Bengals Defense - 4-3 or Nickel Base?
#27
Our base D is 425 nickel. Just oook at the snap counts.

However, base does not mean every snap. We do run some 5 lineman heavy stuff vs Pitt, Cle, Balt, and Tenn. Usually pulling the 3rd CB for a DT.

Some folks call this a 3-4, because the ends stand up rather being in a 3 point stance. But since it is usually Hendrickson and Hubbard wide with 3 DTs in the middle, I really don't think you can call that 4 LBs. Really, we don't play anyone I'd consider an OLB. Wilson, Pratt, Bailey, and Bachie are all MLBs. Trey, Hubbard, Murphy, and C. Sample are very much DLs. ADG & Ossai come the closest.
