Saints to a 3-4???

I think Sean realized we would probably have more opportunities to pressure the QB with the 3-4 or even the 3-3-5 than with the 4-3, because we don't have good talent for it like the Vikings or the previous year's Giants do.

But we must be careful and need to be able to hold up okay against the run. We saw what Adrian Peterson and Colin K. did to Dom Capers 3-4 D in some recent weeks.

Dont Atlanta run the 3-4?

Kaepernick almost looked like Brees at times vs that defense.

Its been proven to some extent that the 3-4 is much better than the 4-3, I think the Ravens, Patriots, 49ers, many of the better defenses in the NFL is running the 3-4.

Cantlanta runs a 4-3, but stays in their nickle as the base defense, see what that did this year? Run defense sucks in the nickle

3-3-5 really only is a poor mans version of the 3-4 that you use if you have too small LBs. I have played it myself but I hate that scheme.
