As for Sharper, he thrives in a defense where he can utilize his ball hawking ability. It requires more of a freelance approach. In Minnesota he was handcuffed by the cover 2. Come to New Orleans he was able to take advantage of two great cover corners allowing him to be able to roam.

Are those teams in the Super Bowl?

:/

Their system is inferior. They let a great player go. Period.

Ronnie Lott called Sharper "special" but I should listen to you?

No they aren't. They came as close as you can get without making it. And, as well as Sharper and Vilma fit our defensive scheme, they simply do not fit in their previous defenses near as well. Sharper and Vilma are great players. And yes, both special. I never said they weren't. But, Sharper isn't a cover two type safety and Vilma is not a 3-4 type linebacker. That is not downplaying their abilities at all.
