OK, forgive the dream, and I’ll begin with the caveat that it’s completely unlikely to even be a thought, but play along if you will… What if the New Orleans Saints went to a 3-4 defense?
First off you know that teams draft and pick up free agents depending on their design and what their strengths are already. The Saints defensive front before the injury to Nick Fairley looked like a solid 4-3 front. You had possibly the most underrated edge defender in the league on one end in Cam Jordan. Beside him you were slotting second year player Sheldon Rankins, who looks to have the makings of a solid defensive tackle.
