Former Saints LB Scott Shanle 'blown away' after working with Hau'oli Kikaha

I miss the way Shanle would trot through the camera shot one second after the whistle.

That's all I miss about Scott Shanle. He may be a football genius, but he wasn't much of a football player.

This going to be the year we are going to be a true 3 / 4 defense. The depth going to be ridiculous. A hicks, cam Jordan, with John Jenkins in the middle. The pass rushers Anthony spencer with back up kikaha, & junior galette with Edebali back up

That might be the case. Will be interesting to see.

Actions speak louder than words when it comes to Scott.

Every year the saints signed free agents and drafted players to replace him and put him back to his multi position backup role we signed him to be.

Well Scott had other plans. He beat all comers and stayed the starter

how much money and picks must a team waste till they realize the answer was staring them in face all along.

Lunch pale toting blue collar players are hard to judge.

He earned my respect because of it.

He just made me feel better about this pick.

Hey do you all remember when Marshawn Lynch met Shanle in the trenches during our playoff game and Lynch proceeded to also blow Shanle away... sorry I had to lmao

Just a thought Who Dat fans ... let's look through the front windshield rather than the rear view mirror

Shanle played in the league 10 years. Not bad for a 7th round pick. That in itself is enough to earn my respect.

I wasn't a "Shanle Guy", but I respect his opinion. I'll bet Kikaha works out beautifully.

Scott Shanle was a smart player. If he wasn't he wouldn't have even been on the field because his physical ability was sub par compared to the rest of the league. I always wanted us to upgrade his spot too, but I can't say anything bad about the guy. He did a good job.

Not too sure how accurate that is.

Can't recall any OLB FA signings, nor do I remember the Saints drafting any decent LBs.

You could say Danny Clark was the one big FA signing but he replaced Fujita (and did a pretty good job).
