Cal DC Peter Sirmon will be Saints LB coach

The personnel fits. Mostly w/ Alontae Taylor in somewhat of a big Nickel role. You have to resign Adebo and while McKinstry would be expected to be the other corner, I would not shy away from taking Will Johnson if he's there. McKinstry was passable last year but he did nothing that said he's your bonafied starter in 2025.

The question is, how do you run his tite concepts from a 4-2-5 alignment? I mean one of the LB's i guess creeps up and takes the 0 position in some alignments while others you may see that 3-3-5 look to.

As i continue to research his defense I've noticed he puts a lot of stress on the LB's by alignment. They've got a lot of ground to cover in some of his sets and I wonder can Demario still handle that at a high clip.
One thing I’ve seen from that defense is to line up in a 4-2-5, and then to have the OLB slide in to a 4 or 4i and Baun will walk up to the 9, converting an even front to an odd front.

It happened several times against us. That’s where having a guy like Cam at OLB would be helpful, I wouldn’t worry as much about him playing head up with an OT as I would one of the lighter edge rusher types.
