Defensive shakeup

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, masking, stunting, and coverage could be improved. The 4 linebackers could do some hands down duty, especially if Junior is in there. Our abilities on the outside edges would be two steps ...

I have mixed emotions.
On the one hand, masking, stunting, and coverage could be improved.
The 4 linebackers could do some hands down duty, especially if Junior is in there.
Our abilities on the outside edges would be two steps improved (2 steps is a lot).
We need to do something different to shake things up a bit.
On the other hand, the one thing I don't like about the 3-4 is, it gives O-lines direct engagement on the LB's.
It simply increases the territory the nose tackle and DE's have to hold down.
We have not been cloggin up the middle with 2 guys in there, I'm almost scared of pulling 1 guy to the 2nd level.
Harper may end up with 15 tackles and a bruised collar bone.
A good mix of the 3-4 4-3 could give us some advantage in confusing blocking schemes.
If it helps us make plays, force some punts, gets some turnovers, I'm all for it.
