Stemming is a pre-snap motion for the defense but slanting and stunting is essentially a post snap motion for the defense. Slanting is taking the defensive line and moving them to a different position after the snap. Often accompanied by a blitz of some kind or at least sending a linebacker or defensive back while dropping a player on the front.

Harmon showed an ability to get to the quarterback last season, recording five sacks for the Ducks. He also forced two fumbles and had two recoveries. Harmon can add versatility to the Bengals’ defensive line and would add pass-rush help, something the Bengals very much need after their lack of sacks outside of Trey Hendrickson.
