Re: Saints talk, Defensive Line. Why the sudden turnaround?

Realistically 3-4 or 4-3 doesn't matter when you play nickel/dime as often as we do, because you're almost always rushing a 4-man line in that situation. GW's defense used to rush 3 and drop back 8 sometimes but we aren't seeing a lot of that. Don't get me wrong, Jenkins was a steal and looks like a very good player, but we aren't better off because Bunkley got hurt. Bunkley is one of the top nose tackles in the game, you don't lose a player like that and get better no matter how good his replacement is. |
