Saints to a 3-4???

PASAINT26 · 01-24-2013, 08:07 PM

Glad I had some good info. I'm more a lurker than a poster. This move is very unexpected but very exciting. Something had to be done..right or wrong its a start.

We did that because Harper is more of a Linebacker with great coverage skills than he is a Saftey with great coverage skills , he plays like a LB too ...

Hawthorne and Lofton Inside , Vilma and Harper out I like it

Hell maybe even T'eo or a Jarvis Jones kinda guy

Even though he was injured all season....I wonder where this leaves Chris Chamberlain....he was Spags' guy.

There's absolutely no way Harper can be a successful 3-4 OLB, he simply doesn't have the size for that position!

Nonsense , He Covers Te's anyways whats the difference ?

So why is everyone assuming that Smith will be gone because of the switch. His strong point is against the run. Wouldn't that make him ideal for a 3-4 DE?

How can we go to a 3 - 4? We could barely field a 4 - 3!

Junior is excited and has a valid point about his time on the field:

I know this Could backfire big. But in the 4-3 if you break the first line of defense nobody else is there , which may be why payton decided he rather have a stronger second line of defense ... Everyones passing anyways
