New Orleans Saints, defensive lineman Cameron Jordan working on contract extension

We only line up in a 3-4 about 33% of the time so we really need to stop analyzing these players as they relate to our "base" defense. Jordan and Hicks hardly ever line up as 5 techniques.

I do agree with that statement, now my question is why get 3-4 players that excel in a 3-4 and put them in a 4-3 or 4-3 players that don't excell in a 3-4. Why not get players that fit the scheme and beef it up from there. Recent examples, Byrd and Ellerby 3-4 players at their best. Hawthorn 3-4. Jordan 4-3 it makes our D weak.

I couldn't tell ya man. I'm so jealous of teams that can just line up in their base defense and impose their will on an offense. With us it's like "Let's use multiple safeties" or "Let's use an amoeba defense where we have no down linemen even though none of the players out there will be able to make a play."
