I wonder though, now that we've gone to a 3-4 if he'll stop trying to put on weight (apparently difficult for him) and perhaps drop some weight in order to increase his agility and play that outside spot? |

Re: Martez Wilson....LB'er or DE?
Well, there's no guarantee that the Saints are even going to re-sign Galette, although one would think that they'd keep him around since he won't brake the bank as a RFA.
But like Danno, I question whether he can really play the OLB position on a 3-down basis since he doesn't have the coverage skills needed for that position whether it be the strong or the weak side. |

Re: Martez Wilson....LB'er or DE?
I can't see Galette making it at OLB in our new 3-4...
Right now we have: Wilson|Lofton|Hawthorne|Draft I think we gotta draft our OLB opposite Wilson... |

Re: Martez Wilson....LB'er or DE?
Wilson concerns me in coverage much more than Galette. However, to be honest I think our LBs are already set for the 3-4, Galette and Wilson will do fine. I am concerned with our NT situation. Hicks and Jorden will make great 3-4 DEs (hicks will be amazing there), but who plays NT?

Bunkley excelled at it. Year one is probably a 2 or 3 man rotation at the nose. |

Re: Martez Wilson....LB'er or DE?
I wouldn't be suprised if our front 3 were;
Tom Johnson at RDE - natural DT in a 4-3 but he is a big guy with good speed Cam Jordan at LDE - this is a given, Cam Jordan is a beast Akiem hicks at NT - he has the size and the play making ability to be that player, he could become a haloti gnata type of player, it would be awesome Ofcourse I think this will change around the draft, DE and OLB should be drafted Imagine if our 4 LB's went Jack - Tez Wilson 2 ILB's - lofton and Hawthorne And then we drafted another OLB, it would be great |

Hicks at NT would be wasting his speed/agility. |

Either way I'm really excited about this change to 3-4 and if the players fit into that formation the way we think they will, our D will be exciting to watch |
