hey 60minutes, I keep seeing people saying Rob runs a 1gap and some saying he runs a 2gap. Do you know which it is for sure? Do you have a link? thanks a lot man.
Well, a couple of things. Rob has run both the 1-gap and 2-gap schemes. He has also run a hybrid scheme, where he has run a 2-gap scheme up front but has mixed in a version of the "46" defense. In New Orleans, he will run a 1-gap scheme. This is what Sean Payton said during the interview he had on Sirius. He spoke exclusively about the advantages of the scheme, based on our personnel (i.e. Vilma). And he contrasted the value of this scheme for us versus running the traditional 2-gap scheme you see teams like the Patriots run. I do not have a link but if you run a search, someone has posted the interview in the thread concerning Payton being on Sirius.
Edit: I could very well see Richardson or Floyd being his pick. If so, then a guy like Chase Thomas would be a smart pick in the third unless we took a flyer on an offensive tackle or WR like Da'Rick Rogers.
