Saints to a 3-4???

lee909 · 01-26-2013, 07:11 AM

It will be a interesting couple of months with FA and the draft.
I hearing conflicting things about what we need.Some saying that drafting a NT and OLB will be the main aims,others that we are ok at NT.From what I know of Bunkley he played NT for the Broncos and Hicks could be a long term option at the position.
I still think we may be forced into replacing Bushrod in the first round and go defence after that.
Ogletree looks really interesting option in the first if we can re-sign Bushrod.
Will the change to 3-4 be a lifeline for Ellis?,not saying I want him here but I didn't see him in college so not sure wether he played 3-4/4-3.

I like the change.

No way, he doesn't suit the NT or the DE spots in the 3-4 alignment both from a skill-set and physical trait point of view, not to mention that he sucks as a player overall.

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
