A Defense of Scott Shanle

Wasn't Shanle voted the defensive MVP by his team mates in '08?

Wow you guys are soft. I know that he was on the Super Bowl team and all, but come on, I'm having a hard time taking you guys seriously.

Look, it's not that I don't like Shanle or anything like that, but the fact of the matter is he's getting older, he's never been more than a slightly above average player, and there are going to be some good players available at #32 that could potentially upgrade the position.

In my mind, our biggest needs are at DT, OLB, and DE, probably in that order (assuming we re-sign Sharper). I don't care who the guy is, if we have a chance to upgrade our roster, then I say we do it. I just think that Shanle has been a good, never great player and we could do better.

Love it. Scott is exactly the player we signed. Smart and a sure tackler. That is it. nothing more and nothing less. hats of to him he has done a better job than i thought he would.

i want to see these young wlb develope. i am really high on Casillas. Now SLB? thats a different story. we are weak there.
