Davidson should be adding weight instead of losing, if he was able to bulk up I think if he wasn't able to play the nose he would be a mean DE in a 3-4. Ellerbe I would keep. Jordan I would trade for high picks and get a DE and ILB.
Need to finish the 3-4 and say so long to the 4-3 blunder we run. Dropping some big contacts now will pay off and Brees price tag needs to be reduced also.

I agree about the square pegs in round holes, but I disagree about the 3-4 and about Jordan. Cam is one of the best DE's in the NFL and they are very hard to come by. He's equally effective in a 3-4 as he is in 4-3.

To me, Davison looks like a great 3-tech in a 4-3, with the ability to play the NT (4-3) as well.

To me, the future looks like a 4-3 with Jenkins at nose and Davison at the 3 tech, Cam and Richardson on the ends.

Obviously Anthony at MLB, with Kikaha at SLB and Ellerbe at WLB.

I say we stick to a base 4-3 (occasionally mixing in some 3-4) and focus on upgrading OLB and the DE on the other side of Cam.
