What this workout tells me is that the Saints will stick to the 3-4 this year. Fairley will be the starting Nose. It appears we're looking at players who can play linebacker, DE or Safety.

Look, as much as I'd love to move to a true 3-4 base (as we've drafted and acquired players to do just that), we haven't been running a 3-4 and likely will not under Dennis Allen, a Gregg Williams trained defensive coach...

And the so-called 4-3 under hasn't been run since we cut loose Galette...

And I'd be very disappointed if we took Jenkins after his Combine and Pro Day performances that high in the draft...

Aside from WR Laquon Treadwell, I'd rather us take Jarran Reed or reach ever so slightly in my book for La Tech's Vernon Butler or reach just a tad more for Clemson DE Kevin Dodd in the first...

Billings, Rankins, Clark, omg especially Clark all will end up being Sedrick Ellis 2.0 - NFThanks...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Fairley as a NT??
That would be a fish out of water.

Fairley is visiting with the Patriots so I doubt we'll sign the guy now.
