Since Gregg Williams has been with the Saints, they have used the 46 formation from time to time. I do see the Saints using more of it, as they continue to adjust the personal. However, I do not believe the Saints (or any team) will be able to use it as a primary base defense. The problem with the 46 is the West Coast type of offense can easily rip it apart. Most teams these days do employ at least some variation of a West Coast offense. The 46 as a special package from time to time, can still be very lethal.

Right. So now I am guessing that MatthewT, neugey and Crusader didn't read the entire article?

I never said that I thought Gregg Williams would use the 46 defense as a base defense. I said that I thought he would use it more often than he has thus far with the Saints' defensive players because of the better, faster personnel that he now has at his disposal and that I thought he would use it on an as needed basis to get more pressure on the QB.

GW loves using multiple sets between variations of the 4-3, the 3-4 and even the 46 and that will never change. He sees all of these different looks as tools to confuse the opposing offenses and try to get them to make mistakes that will result in potential turnovers in his favor. Plain and simple. Anything to get the ball back into the hands of the master Drew Brees again! Works for me...
