So far, the most buzz from the New Orleans Saints' offseason practices is being generated by the tweaks to the defensive line. First, it was Martez Wilson's position switch from linebacker to end, then it was veteran end Will Smith being used as a tackle in some formations with four ends on the field at once.

Clearly, new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is willing to get creative in his quest to become more disruptive up front.

"I am a firm believer, and I have been for years learning from one of the best in the league (late former Philadelphia Eagles coordinator Jim Johnson), that you win up front both offensively and defensively," Spagnuolo said. "If you are talking defense, you are talking defensive linemen. Sometimes you have four out there, sometimes you have three out there. In my opinion, you get as many out there as you can.

"They engineer this whole thing."

Those guys up front certainly will determine the fate of the Saints' defense in 2012 and beyond.
