He left because we were trying to make the switch to a 3-4 and a true MLB was not as valuable as it is in the 4-3...hence why the Falcons were not willing to pay him as much and the Saints were.

What you are saying, is that when Lofton became a FA (FA started March 12, Lofton signed March 25), the Falcons assumed they would be playing a 3-4, and didn't value Lofton as much because of the assumed switch to the 3-4. Nolan was hired January 17th. The Falcons did not switch to the 3-4. So what I was asking was, between the time Nolan was interviewed and hired, and we signed Lofton (over 2 months), the Falcons were not sure of what defense they were running? Doesn't seem to add up...
