With all the talk about the Saints running a 3-4 and what we need to do in the draft, i did a little digging just so i could understand what 2013 would bring us.

For those who would like a little more understanding about the 3-4 read this blog below. I will preface this with a quote from Bill Pacrells


Bill Parcells once said he would not run his own 3-4 until he had all the players it needs.

The advice from Bill Parcells: Don't rush!

I may be on my own on this one... However if your in a battle you have two options to win, defend your self or out attack your opponent. We are a good stretch from being able to defend our goal line adequately, so we need to pack more power into our offense.

For those who were glad to see the Saints keep Vilma... He was released from the Jets because he was not a good fit for the 3-4.

"It doesn't mean a trade is a certainty, but it's a tacit acknowledgement from both sides that Vilma and Mangini's 3-4 scheme aren't a match."

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.
