Saints defense made up packages 'on the go’ against Falcons
METAIRIE, La. — For much of the offseason, the biggest storyline focusing on the Saints’ defense had to do with its switch from a 4-3 front for a 3-4.
But best-laid plans are always subject to change and Sunday, against Atlanta, they did just that. “Between the packages that were supposed to run and then some of the packages we made up on the go, I know I played a little bit of nickel and safety,” Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said. Wait. Did he just say first-year defensive coordinator Rob Ryan “made up” plays on the go? Indeed, fellow safety Roman Harper confirmed as much, likening what happened to Ryan drawing up plays in the sand. Or, in this case, the synthetic turf on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome floor. “We did it a couple of times,” Harper said. In truth, the Saints are never going to be solely a 3-4 base team. Too many offensive formations demand too many different defensive alignments.
