Saints Hire Brandon Staley as DC

I'd love to see a 3-4, 3-4 odd and 3-3-5 packages. I've been sick of the obligatory 4-3 for so long, it's time.

If we go a 3-4 defense I think the strong argument to relegate Bryan Bresee to second string becomes impossible to argue against. Bresee finished the 2024 season ranked 218th of 219 defensive interior linemen with a run defense grade of 28. If you put him on an island at nose tackle, every team will just run up the middle for 5-10ypc against us all day long. Even at second string the thought of Bresee in the game on a running down is scary. Maybe second string DE.

Yup. Over 80% of the time just based upon positional snap counts.

Staley better upgrade the 1tech & SOLB.

The upcoming draft becomes paramount.

I'm reading a lot about Staley's 3-4 defense and hearing he doesn't use a 1-tech, he uses a 3-tech DL.

I'm no expert but I think its referred to as a gap and a half DT.

I still would like a big run stuffing DT to add to the mix tho.
