The HC they hired was not a 3-4 guy, but the team had a system in place and they would not mess with it. So they have core of veteran players familiar with the system.
Now BTW the Steelers have lost coach after coach and yet they keep on winning.
Now my biggest point is we have never had the 26 veteran players worth keeping, heck even 15 players would have us ahead of where we are now.
I agree the defensive change has something to do with this, but we only have 2 offensive guys left.
edit note -------------------------------------------
I just compared the Saints rosters and they 17 players still on the roster. 3 times the players. I think I have a valid point.

Are you calculating the # of Texans on the Roster since 2006 or since 2005 (capers last team)? It seems you are calculating from the 2005 team if those are the only 5 you are counting.
If that is the case you must calculate from 2005 for the steelers and saints and you say you are calculating from 2006.
The only Saints left from 2005 are Jamaal Brown, Charles Grant, Devery Henderson, Jamar Nesbit, and Will Smith. That makes the exact same 5 from 2005 that we are left with. And we were definitely left with a better 5 than they were. IT seems Bob had a great point.
