Re: 2016 Saints Free Agency

And I was catching **** for wanting to draft two safeties?!?

Don't get me wrong, the line(s) are the biggest (or smallest) issue we're facing...

But our midfielders have been awful with regards to allowing big plays and not forcing enough turnovers...

Geez...This is what it's come to...Bargain Basement Hunting...NT Jessie Williams...

Maybe we'll get lucky and find a copy of the Declaration Of Independence...

Of course, that will have no value pretty soon either...

Re: 2016 Saints Free Agency

I'd sign Sean Spence. I'm just going to assume we're a 3-4 team from now on. Eric Weddle isn't going to come to New Orleans. I wouldn't mind Evan Mathis on a 2 year deal. I don't know if Chris Long or James Laurinaitis can play in the 3-4. Plus James is slow. We're trying to get faster.

We are running a 43. As soon as Allen took over we never ran a 34 set. Also Allen has always run 43 sets in his previous roles.

Yes, we are a 4-3 team, because our talent is better suited for a 4-3.

I'd agree that we're running a 4-3 because of Allen...

Hau'oli Kikaha is a clear 3-4 OLB and was lost once Allen took over...

John Jenkins was a big 3-4 NT that we spent two draft picks to get...

Jenkins was asked to lose weight last pre-season and be a 3-tech Tackle - bad, bad idea...

Cam Jordan's size and abilities allow him to play in either a 3-4 or 4-3...

Stephone Anthony can play in both sets, but was projected to be a standout 3-4 ILB...

Davis Tull was scouted best as a 3-4 OLB, Jack Linebacker...

Tyeler Davison was projected as a Nose Tackle or a run stopping 3-4 DE...

Now, the last group of UDRFA clearly were better suited to a 4-3, and also added to Rob Ryan's exit and Allen's installment...

But I don't agree necessarily that our talent is better suited 4-3...

In Fact, I'd argue it's a mistake putting Allen in charge now because we had clearly acquired personnel to transition to a 3-4; Sean Payton was on record as saying so...

Our problems on defense will continue as we flip-flop on our defensive identity...

I'm not overly optimistic spending high draft choices on defense with Allen in charge running a 4-3 defense with best talent best suited to a 3-4 ...

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