RR has been doing alot of mixin up on D in minicamp. Of course he wants to see who can do what, and how they're adapting to the 3-4, but he sites all the injuries he had in Dallas last year that led to a very good D fall off in its top 10 play...... and his firing.
Adamant about that not happenin here, among his priorities, RR wants to develop DEPTH. At least 2 deep at every position, with little dropoff between the 1s and 2s. After that, he and his 3-4 will be much like GW and his 4-3: an aggressive, get to the ball, man cover D. But unlike GW, I think RR is a lil more flexable, willing to scheme a lil more, willing to listen a lil more -from his his players and from SP.
Its easy to compare this Saints personnel to Dallas last year. We simply DONT have a Ware and Spencer. What we do have is some good talent, bolstered by the addition of Butler, Lewis an Coleman in FA, and KV, JJ, Johnson in the draft and a host of good UDFAs.
But on O, we DO have Sean Payton back as our HC, and the best QB in the game in Drew. As the DC here, GW flat out loooved it!
I kinda feel RRs gonna love it too!
