New Orleans Saints bring back 3-4 defense, and Jonathan Vilma's all for it

There were a couple of things I noticed about the 3-4 after watching the game again:
1. Will Smith & Grant shot gaps extremely well. They can over-power guards with their bull-rush. Ellis also looked to penetrate over center, and didn't receive the double-teams he's had in the past.
2. Vilma and Mitchell can not play ILB if a lineman gets to the second level. Neither can get off blocks. JV did not have a great game last week.
3. McCray is not a stand up rusher from the outside lb position, or maybe his back really limited him. They used him alot on passing downs in the 3-4. Fugita looked good at times and Shanle was old reliable.

The line really excels in the 3-4, but out LB's don't fit the profile. It's a change of pace, but I don't like the way Vilma/Mitchell played the inside.
