Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

According to some representatives at the Superdome and clean up crews, Vilma Didn't leave the Superdome until sometime around 12:00 when they "had to get everybody out of there", he was absolutely refusing to leave the superdome.

He apparently was still absorbing it all in.

The guy did this for his people in Haiti.. he's going to the Superbowl..
Passionate humble man here.. We should be so proud to have him.

Hubby always wears his Vilma jersey! A class act, and very educated and articulate, as well! Congrats Jonathan! You so deserve to be right where you are at! Wish I had been there with him at 12:00 a.m.!

My favorite player next to Hartley..

Thank God for J. Vilma!

Definetly a leader!

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

We miss him in Jet Nation! Unfortunately, when we switched to the 3-4 it seemed like he was ill suited to our Defense. I think that had more to do with the lack of a quality NT than it had to do with JV's level of play. I hope he wins a ring.

Class comment. The ring - I hope so too!

Getting Vilma was the start of giving this team a super bowl quality defense.

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

Why on earth any team would get rid of Vilma is way beyond me. Same with Sharper. Thanks Jets and Vikes. Dumbasses.

:p

One team's trash is another team's treasure. We say the same thing about Kris Jenkins. Carolina practically ran him out of town and he has been nothing but a locker room leader and big-time playmaker for us.

Unfortunately, JV's trade value was very low when we dealt him as he was coming off a knee injury and his production was down. Bad for us, good for you.

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

Not really. Both Vilma and Sharper were ill-equipped to fit in the respective defenses. Vilma was a beast in New York when they ran the 4-3, but wasn't able to use his talents once the Jets went to the 3-4. As GangGreen put it, the lack of a huge NT didn't help.

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.

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

Vilma gets my MVP award for the game. He was everywhere, and if I were him they would have had to kick me out too. We just won our first ever NFC Championship after winning one of the greatest games every played. You'll be seeing that game for years to come.

Yep, they would have had to drag me outtta the dome last night.

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

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?

:p

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

I tend to agree but it is such a hard call.

Re: Vilma was still in the Superdome After 12:00am *and refused to leave*
 

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.

I wanted to draft him outta miami (and I'm a Gator), so I was so glad to get him!!!
