Cal DC Peter Sirmon will be Saints LB coach

Haven’t we run a 4-2-5 for the last 10 years?

Yes, but there are many ways to run it. In this case Fangio/Staley tend to run it using standup LBs at the DE position or one stand up DL/Edge on one side and 3 guys with their hand in the dirt but essentially in the position of 4-3 DEs and DTs. It's really a multiple front that can be a odd front or even front depending on how they lineup and what personnel are on the field.

The big difference is going to come in the 1 and 1/2 gap, instead of 1 gap, scheme on the DL and the matchup zone/pattern matching by the DBs with a 2 high shell that often has one safety crash the line just before the snap. DA used a lot of man and press man. He did do the other stuff at times, but he prefered to play in man to man on the back end.
