What are defensive line numbers?
In 1984, the NFL allowed defensive linemen and linebackers to wear jersey numbers in the 90-99 range, since more teams were making use of the 3-4 defense and thus were quickly exhausting numbers for linebackers, who previously were only allowed to wear numbers in the 50-59 range. Since 2010, defensive linemen are allowed to wear numbers 50-59; this is in part because of the interchangeability of linebackers and defensive ends (a defensive end in a 4-3 defense would be an outside linebacker in a 3-4).

This type of defensive substitution is typically run in obvious passing downs. When a team runs this type of formation it is usually called the "Nickel D". If you have a base 3-4 base defense, you would have three down linemen (D. Tackle, Nose Tackle, D. Tackle) and four linebackers (ROLB, RILB, LILB, LOLB), two corners and two safeties. In a nickel D, the 3/4 defense typically subs out a line backer so the defensive front would be 3/3/5, three linemen, 3 linebackers, 5 defensive backs. In a 4-3 base defense, you would have four down linemen (D-End, D-Tackle, D-Tackle, D-End) and three linebackers (LOLB, MLB, LOLB), two corners and two safeties. In a "Nickel D", the 4-3 defense could sub either a lineman or a linebacker. If you sub out a line backer, the defensive front would be 4/2/5, four linemen, 2 linebackers, 5 defensive backs. If the team were to sub out a lineman the defensive front would be 3/3/5, three linemen, 3 linebackers and 5 defensive backs.
