The Cincinnati Bengals defense is looking to be more versatile this year. This means that they’ll funnel in a mix of players who excel in certain schemes as well as versatile players who can play in multiple schemes.
Over the past two years, defensive coordinator Lou Anamuro has tried to use his defensive ends in a variety of ways.
