EDIT: Morningwood you beat me to it lol...look at post time.
he was our best backup when he was healthy....thats the first point

and just because he was hurt, doesnt mean he wasnt our best backup, it just means he couldnt play those seasons....who did we have as a backup that was better?

the 2nd statement is based on actually watching him play

It's going to be hard to convince anyone that losing MS is going to set the team back from where we were last year since he did not play.

Which backup LB was better than MS last year? Any who was physically able to play.

No, it's like saying that last year Jermon Bushrod was a better tackle than Jammal Brown , because he played.

Which is a true statement.

And, at what point during his tenure on IR was he healthy?

So, you are saying that none of our backup linebackers are as good as a guy who can't play?

I can just imagine Canton as the head coach of the Saints.


DC: We need to put in our backup LB.

Canton: Well, they aren't as good as Simoneau.

DC: But Simoneau is on IR Coach.

Canton: Yeah, sure we can't play him?

DC: Yeah Coach, pretty sure we can't play the guy on IR.

Canton: Okay, screw it. Lets just run with 10 on defense. Same difference anyway.

DC: *BANG*


If only I could start a poll, we could make this a solve-it-yourself mystery. Did the DC commit Suicide or Murder?

Watching him play while he as on IR? Was he still running circles around everyone else while he was paying on IR?

No, it's really not.

And he was last healthy in 2007. So, if you want to say that Simoneau, in 2007, was better than our backups were last year then I have no problem with that. Of course, that has nothing to do with whether this year's team will be less effective than last year's team given the fact that MS did not play.

the original comment had nothing to do with how we would be different than last year.....the original comment simply said that mark simoneau was a key loss

he was because when he's healthy he was our best backup
