Bengals, like most teams, use a 5 DB scheme over two thirds of the time.  Some teams are starting to use a 5 DB scheme as their "base" defense on first down except they have 3 safeties instead of 3 CBs.  This is why the hybrid safety/LB player is becoming more popular.  So I think we will use that scheme at times this season.

I think we definitely roll with 10 DBs.

Agree,

The hybrid LB/S is going to replace the true MLB position. Teams are going to have 5 and even 6 DB's on the field more and more. The old school run stuffing MLB is going to be joining the FB in NFL history.
