But if the Bengals keep 10 DL, I'd go with....
DE: Dunlap, MJ, Willis, Gilberry, Smith
DT: Atkins, Billings, Glasgow, Tupou, Hardison

If I'm cutting down to 9, I'm dropping Tupou, Hardison, Smith, or maybe even MJ.
Also, people need to quit putting Hardison as a DE. He's 315 lbs. He was not good in previous preseasons when playing DE. He's best used as a 3T.

I think we could see some 3-4 looks with Lawson Standing up, which Hardison and Geno as Ends and Billings as the nose tackle. I think giving multiple looks is nice and Hardison does give you some versatility. While you don't want him playing DE in a jam he can and that is a valuable trait.
