Should the Bengals stop using hybrid defenses?

I'm not against the team choosing the 3-4 hybrid as their "base".  If you look at 3-4 in Nickle, it's basically a 4-3, and most teams play 2/3 of the game in Nickle sets.  The key is getting the LBs adept at stuffing the run, covering the pass, and having a blitz specialist or two on the roster.  The team went heavy on athletic LBs that can tackle in the past two drafts, just allow them to continue developing.  

All true, think we need to see less of Bynes out there cause as you say need to see the young LB's develop and they look better to
me than Bynes anyways, especially Wilson and Pratt. Wilson has great instincts and just tackles well, the more snaps these guys get
I think the better they will get. Same with ADG who is raw. Haven't seen much of Bailey yet this year, would like to see this guy play
some.

Bynes has been missing tackles and taking bad angles. Sometimes he isn't even in position and the young LB's like Pratt have to line 
him up. Thought he would be the guy doing this for our young fellas, been the other way around.
