“I feel it’s a very good fit,” Vilma said during a recent break from the team’s offseason workouts. “It’s not like I’m a rookie learning a new defense. I’ve played this scheme before and I’m excited to get back to it.”

Vilma, who said he expects to be “the quarterback of the defense,” turns 26 on April 16. He was the 12th overall pick in the 2004 draft.

The Saints DL needs to keep the OL of the opposing team off Vilma. If they do, he will be a monster in the middle. I hope Marvin Mitchell will be watching and learning!

See my reply about Balmer in another thread if I hear another comparison of the Dome Patrol again. Joking or not.

No Balmer, please. This guy is Jonathon Sullivan's illegitimate brother!

I like Balmer, I think he'll be a great pro.
