Sorry, but that's absolutely terrible logic. In fact, I could point you to entire forums of Chargers fans that I'm confident scar and several other "non-Chargers" fans have superior knowledge of Chargers players and their abilities than.

lol. I'm really not trying to start something but Tez Wilson was an 3-4 ILB at Illinois and we asked him to play 4-3 DE. Seriously. Talent and everything else go out the window when you ask him to play a COMPLETELY different position. If we run a 0 gap then bunkley is the NT we want. If we run a 2 gap then no, I DON'T believe Lofton is the answer at ILB in our 3-4 scheme...I think we need to address that in the draft while putting Tez BACK where he belongs. Course you knew that...

I guess we'll just wait an see. Neither of us have seen them in a 3-4 with a decent DC, you think they're mediocre and Saints fans think they'll excel when given roles that they're better built for.

Get out of here with that logic, he's clearly just mediocre! Why couldn't that 3-4 ILB develop as a DE?! Mediocrity of course!

His scheme works but it needs to right personnel. If it was all about just having a good d-line then Sheridan and Fewell should have great defenses too. Our defense hasn't been the same since he left.

That could be a decent defensive line allignment if they run the one gap. I said before the draft Cameron Jordan's best fit was as a one gap DE in a 34.
Doesnt look good for a 2 gap, though.
I dont like the LBs, regardless of what version they run with.
Martez Wilson IMO should be in the middle as a thumper next to Curtis Lofton. That could be beastly.
They need to find a better group of OLBs though. Anthony Spencer will likely be a free agent. They should target him IMO.

Doesn't Crennel run a 2 gap? I think he's the biggest name they've thrown out so far that they're looking at.
Although, I believe that he's getting paid like 7 mil a year to do nothing right now anyway. I can't really see him coming to the Saints for free, and there's no way they pay more than that for a DC. |

Im pretty sure Romeo runs a 2 gap system

Akiem Hicks, Cameron Jordan, Martez Wilson, and Junior Gallette all have potential and talent, but can't maximize it in a 4-3.
Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne are both starting quality LBers.
They need a legit pass rusher and secondary help, but lets not act like they've got nobody. |
hate to break it to you, but Wilson and Galette are mediocre at best. They couldn't crack a starting lineup on well... any other defense in the NFC south, let alone the rest of the NFL.
Lofton and Hawthorne are perfect for your ILB roles though. Especially Lofton as a Ted. he's a great fit there. |
Galette is a great fit at 3-4 OLB, especially as an edge rusher and Wilson has switched from DE to OLB back to DE in the NFL, lets give him a break. |
I was being nice calling them both mediocre... |
Typical Falcons fan...
Ok, if you "know so much about football", then why don't you respect this front 7. You're blind to opinions on the Saints because you're a Falcons fan.
Imagine we draft Dion Jordan.. who is my top choice BTW. This would be the front 7.
DE- Akiem Hicks
DE- Cam Jordan
NT- Brodrick Bunkley
OLB- Junior Galette
ILB- Curtis Lofton
ILB- Martez Wilson
OLB- Dion Jordan
That's a very good and respectable front 7, now, if we can just fix the secondary... :p But, a good front 7 makes a meh secondary look at least average. We'll be a top 25 defense next year IMO. I want Ed Donatell as our DC though, because he can get the most out of our secondary, to compliment a good front 7. Can't wait to see Ryan on the ground by the way.

1) Don't make this about fans or other fan bases, keep the talk related to football.
2) Dion Jordan isn't on our roster, you look silly saying he's part of our front 7.

I don't like that LB group because our ILBs will get killed by receiving TEs and RBs coming out of the backfield. We need an ILB with some coverage ability. Leave Lofton inside as the Ted. Wilson as the OLB, he has shown some talent for rushing the passer. I don't think we would survive long with no coverage ability in the middle of the field. Part of the reason Wilson didn't get much time at LB was because he was far too raw in the coverage game.

Martez Wilson has all the ability to become an elite LB in coverage; he's strong, fast, agile and big. I see no harm in working him there all offseason and seeing what happens.
