A Defensive Change Idea...

Would the insertion of Rodney Leisle as a starter be a positive adjustment at this point?

By inserting him you would play two NTs on the D-line. This might help keep blockers off of Simoneau and help him stay on his feet and not get him washed out the plays. This could also allow the OLBs to focus on the stretch run and outside rushes (it seems the funneling outside to inside the Saints have been using has become obvious to opposing teams). If this adjustment helps the running game it could allow us to keep our safeties in coverage instead of their heavy use of stopping the run.

I think two big bodies, who stay low, play with better leverage than an under tackle and can both handle double teams is something that could work, opinions?
