Things looked different during each glimpse provided to outside eyes during the New Orleans Saints’ three organized team activities open to the media during the past month.
One safety, two safeties, three safeties. The defensive line going from four men to three and back again. The defense was doing all kinds of different things, never once settling into something that provided a sure glimpse of how things will look this season.
Maybe that’s the point. The team tried a lot of different things last year during OTAs, and it wasn’t until training camp that it became clear the Saints were going to be predominantly a single-high-safety team.
