I thought Austin ran mainly a 4-3 defense with the Lions? Other than certain players being looked at, I don't get any indication that they would actually switch.

With that said though, I think a 3-4 MIGHT be able to work with the following starters:
3-4 DE = Atkins, Dunlap
3-4 OLB = Lawson, Willis

Bengals would need a true 3-4 NT.
Burfict would probably be a good 3-4 ILB but I don't know about Brown? I assume the Bengals would need/want a speedier LB to pair with Burfict on the inside.

But this idea seems a little to big of a change for a team that says they aren't in a rebuilding process.
