On the first play of team drills Thursday, the New Orleans Saints' defense had three outside linebackers on the field and only one true defensive lineman. And inside linebacker Curtis Lofton wound up tearing through the middle for a sack.
Those exotic wrinkles we've been expecting from defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's new 3-4 scheme were on full display as the Saints installed some of their nickel and dime packages.
"I ended up at nose (tackle) one play today, just rushing the passer. It's fun. I love it," said Saints pass rusher Junior Galette, who said the scheme changes and the overall atmosphere have been well received by players.
