This year, it's the hybrid defensive players. With teams switching to a 3-4 defense, teams are looking for those who played defensive end in college but might be undersized to play that in the NFL, meaning they can play one of the outside linebacker positions. But what if you're the Bengals, who are still in a 4-3, where would they fit in?"... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2009042.../904220354/1066 Brian Orakpo, Everette Brown, Aaron Maybin, et al. Their DEs disappointed last season. FA Antwan Odom was injured in camp (brought in to replace the steady Justin Smith) and was a dud when he eventually played. DE Robt. Geathers was re-signed to a fat contract (we know how that can work) and then did little, eventually suffering an injury that last I heard isn't doing well. So it's conceivable that the Candy Stripers by the Ohio River might be sniffing around for DE help. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
