re: Von Miller comparison = Clay Matthews?

Nowhere in that article does it state that we ran a 3-4 the entire game against Buffalo. Even before this discussion I was already aware of the 3-4 packages that Gregg Wiliams was OCCASIONALLY running.

We don't use them more then 5-6 times when they are used & its just another way Williams likes to get into the head of opposing QB's & O-Line to cause confusion & mistakes. I don't know where you getting that we run it anymore then that from.

Making the change or running more 3-4 sets is more complicated then you think & can lead to players developing bad habits in the base 4-3. Its not just an adjustment for the LB's but the D-Line responsibilities change also in the 3-4. That's why Williams limits the packages he uses. He's also limited to the 3-4 use because we don't have the personnel to use it anymore then he already does.


The Saints drafting Von Miller would be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Its a lose/lose situation for player & organization. There would be too much time lost trying to help him adjust to a new position & ultimately could lead him to being a bust. On defense you don't draft a player & design formations to get them on the field. You draft players to fit your scheme & that can make plays within that scheme.
