[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

The Bengals have been a heavy 11 personnel team since Zac Taylor came to Cincy. I felt they ran more 12 this pre-season but they still used 11 personnel on 76% of their snaps this pre-season which was 7th overall.

True. But we carried 4 last year. 2 of them are effectively slot WRs (Gesicki & Hudson). With the new KO rules, I think we wanted more guys who are bigger but still mobile (nimble edges, TEs, LBs). The injuries/retirements hurt the DE room, so they went with more TE's & LBs. 

J. Davis was the casualty. A slot specific corner. Newton, Anthony, and D. Hill have more versatility. Ivey as well. Davis is a vested vet, so no waivers. Could be a PS guy.
