Inside the trenches: How Sheldon Rankins is adding value to the Saints defensive line [Film Study]

Okafor came in the league playing OLB (which Davenport arguably should be playing). Onyemata could still backup Rankins & Jordan. Te'o has experience in it. Davis just came out of a 3 man front D. I think it could work & is probably in consideration seeing that they're trying to find a way to keep Davenport on the field

Okafor was a LB in name only. Spent most of his time as a 2 point stance pass rusher on the line. I think a 4 man front puts the Saints best players in the best positions to succeed in base/nickel.
