Re: Kaden Elliss says 'numbers and scheme' will determine return to Saints in 2023

I don't disagree that we run nickel more often than not, but our base is considered a 4-3. Any and every site I've checked list that as our base package. We can continue to talk in circles, but the fact of the matter is that you said we don't run a 4-3... and we do. Maybe not as much, but we do. Should Elliss re-sign and play at the level that he did during the second half of the season, we're probably going to see more and more of it as well.

The opponent's offensive scheme drives the defensive alignment in Allen's defense for the most part. As long as the emphasis remains on the passing game we can probably expect the third LB on the field to remain the rare exception rather than the norm for the Saints moving forward.

Don't get me wrong, I would love it if we keep him, but I really think he wants to go somewhere that he can be the fulltime starter. It's not so much about the money, but more so the playing time.

Either I'm crazy or you just like to hear yourself talk.

Just typing, papz. It would be crazy for sure if someone talked as they typed.

Demario Davis isn't getting any younger and I am worried just how long he can play at this level at his age. He's been lucky with injuries and we need every healthy player we can get. I would like to resign Kaden Ellis and use the 4-3 a little more often since we don't have very good safety depth.
