Scheme or Players first?

2013 is going to be ugly. We do not have the Nose Tackle needed, we do not have two DE that can garner 20 sacks... We need to stick to the 4-3 until we have the PEOPLE.

We need to work on our dime and nickle since we will be in that 70% of the time anyway, the Saints force teams to pass to keep up.

This is so flawed. Bunkley has played NT in the past in a 3-4 and did it well. Jay Ratliff of the Cowboys has played multiple years at NT at 300 pounds. In a 3-4 defense, we do not need our defensive ends to focus on collecting sacks.

While Bunkley may have... The sacks comment didnt come from me... It came from Parcells, Pat Kerwan, Tim Ryan and Gil Brant....

I listened to the call yesteday, A Saints fan called in ans asked the specific question about the Saints and a 3-4 and that was what he was told... We do not have the people... by the experts... They did go on to say that any defensive coordinator interviewing for a job would say in the interview "sure I can"... Along with, while the Saints say they are running a 3-4 Ryan runs a 4-3, they line up at a 3-4 base but the LBs move and it will generally turn into a 4-3...

Flawed or not, I consider those guys experts.

And Dallas has switched back to a 4-3....
