Driving the car and building the car are two way different phases - Rob is driving Rex's defense...

Someone(s) in this organization drove the Saints picks for three years as we acquired front seven pieces for a base 3-4 defense...

On the line, Cam Jordan, at his age, speed, skill-set is a better fit for a 3-4; he's too damn slow as a 4-3 and is horrible in space...

Spent a third round pick on a good 3-4 defensive end in Akiem Hicks; let go for a blocking tight end?!?

Plus we carelessly let geaux another good lineman in Tyrunn Walker (who we could now clearly use)...

John Jenkins is and was supposed to be a 3-4 NT (he had actually had a good rookie season); and then we started fooling with him, not to mention injuries; he was another two-draft pick investment...

We drafted really good 3-4 linebackers in Hau'oli Kikaha, Davis Tull and Stephone Anthony; and we had a good spare part in Kasim Edebali...

All that clearly changed this year with Dennis Allen, clearly in charge, and hell-bent to build a 4-3 base defense; like it or not, but there's a clear plan now...

So despite all the "meddling" the past two seasons, we're really only one year into building the 4-3 defense, so expecting things to turn around right away is unrealistic, at least for another year or two...

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