Saints will interview Vikings DBs coach Daronte Jones for Defensive Coordinator [on February 15]

I have a hard time understanding the obsession here with the 3-4. This team barely has enough LBs to run a decent 4-3 and is likely to have a Safety in the box than 3 LBs. If they sign a DC that runs a 3-4 base fine. He’ll need to sign/draft at least three more LBs. The Saints DL is set up for a 4-3. You’d need two bigger DEs, trade Bresee (he’s a 3 Tech), and sign a couple of big NTs. It’ll be a huge investment with draft picks and FA cap room the team will has little of. I get it….most Saints fans grew up watching the Dome Patrol dominant but that was because the team had Pro Bowlers/HoFers at every LB spot with very good complimentary players at the other positions.

We don't have the pieces for any kind of decent defense now so all of it has to be rebuilt anyway. The only DEs we have under contract are Foskey and Granderson. Maybe Kpassignol too but I'm not sure. So we have to rebuild anyway and the defenses that have been stopping modern NFL offenses are 3-4 or 3-4 hybrids that use B gap pressure with a 2 high shell over the top. Plus LBs are cheap and easy to acquire and are usually great value in the draft.

Plus Breese and Cam work as 3-4 DEs and the idea is to be multiple not just run a 3-4.

It has nothing to do with the Dome Patrol days.
