What Saints personel do you keep talking about? Jordan and Vaccarro? If so they are easily replaced in a trade. Fairleys not under contract and who knows what type of money he wants or if he will be back., so where lies the problem. I bet our #1 pick Anthony balls out sitting next to Ellerbe and Robinson could slide inside and out with Ellerbe and don't think Ediboli isn't good in a 3-4, he is.. Davidson, Rankins and Omy up front, pick up another servicable nose but where we might hurt is the glass secondary we have which is a problem now.. Draft a top cb and pick up a good FA and there is your 3-4 and I'm no Phillip. Ireland could do this scheme quite easily and with Phillips running it, we're instanly back in the hunt and would be insanely better the following year.

LOL!!

"easily replaced in a trade"

Where did you get that idea? Trading is extremely difficult in the NFL when dealing with player salaries and that is IF you can even find a willing trade partner with something you would want in trade.

But, since Allen isn't going anywhere you can come up with all the fantasy scenarios you want. If you can pretend the Saints could and would pick up Phillips I guess you can also pretend that it could be made to work instead of being yet another disaster that comes from that revolving door at DC as was mentioned earlier.

No, it's more like you always saying we don't have the people to run a 3-4 when we do and never answering the question to justify your post on this particular subject. I see your better with the cap numbers than your judgement of players and schemes and that's not fantasy.
