Why 3-4?

My understanding was that the Saints will remain a predominantly 4-3 base defense under Spags, which was in a way corroborated by the fact that when T-P interviewed Loomis last, he had the roster depth on defense in a 4-3 format on the wall of his office.

I mean sure they'll undoubtedly have some 3-4 sets in there, but majority of the snaps will still be taken from a 4-3 base - that is if I haven't missed an official announcement about the Saints adopting the 3-4?!
