Bengals Defense now 3-4 hybrid
#17
Many people think of a 3-4 as an "even front" but in reality we ran a lot of under front when we were in 3-4 last year which is essentially a different looking 4-3 just standing up one backer on the line to act as your 4th potential rusher. All the switch really does is give Anarumo a little ore flexibility in alignment and some exotic coverages. People seems to be getting caught up with "needing linebackers" because they think of the 4 in the 3-4 as traditional linebackers but really it minimizes how many stack backers you need (think traditional 4-3 coverage backers) as you only need 2 as one of your linebackers is basically a DE standing up rushing and the other is a bit of a hybrid who only needs to be able to cover at a pretty minimal level. In many cases you won't even notice a change outside of base packages so on passing downs it's going to look very similar to what you have seen here for the last decade outside of maybe seeing more dollar packages.
