Curtis Lofton quickly emerges as New Orleans Saints leader, 'Who Dat' favorite

Until I see the results of Lofton and Vilma as ILB,s I remain skeptic. I think we need some weight in the middle.

And like Vilma, Vitt said Lofton's intelligence and communication skills are "above and beyond." Vitt said he can't wait to watch the two of them work together side by side as the starting inside linebackers in the Saints' new 3-4 alignment.

Lofton will be on the strong side and Vilma on the weak side. And both players will have signal-calling responsibilities, though the team has not yet announced its plans for which linebacker will communicate with the sideline through a headset during games.

Hmmm... I wonder if that is really how it's going to be when the season starts.

Unless I'm msitaken, The Dome Patrol had the ILBs set so Johnson was on the weak side and Mills was on the strong side. I wonder if they were playing today if they would play in the same spots?

According to Vilma, Lofton will position the secondary, Vilma will position the D-line.

I thought it was the other way around? I believe Lofton said in his presser that he would control the Line and Vilma would have control over the secondary. I may be wrong and it really doesn't matter either way.
