Essentially you just have 1 more LB in the 3-4. The defensive lineman's job is to keep the offensive lineman off of the LB's to free them to make tackles.
Supposedly, if the Bengals were able to draft Manny Lawson when Marvin got here...they were going to switch to a 3-4. Lawson signed here many years later then and we didn't switch to a 3-4. We also had Atkins and Dunlap at that point.
Teams like the Steelers also draft LB's about every other year in the 1st Round also. The Bengals seem against taking LB's in the 1st Round.
