Maybe that's because, in the eyes of the coaches, Shane actually brings something worthwhile to the table as a player.

And you'll have to forgive me for thinking they know just a tiny bit more about the subject than anybody talking crap on a message board, myself included.

Hell, I don't even like Shanle that much but you people are gone off the deep end here.

Must be nice to be young and know everything.

Shanle is better than average. His fault is his lack of speed in coverage but to be fair to him he has a few tough TE's to cover. The lack of a pass rush just magnifies his lack of coverage. If the front 4 can start to apply pressure Shanle can be an above average LB.

it is. but since you know so much....englighten me of shanle's endless pool of supposed talent. In your argument, explain to me how he is NOT our worst LB and the fact that he started last year because Casillas got hurt is not a valid point.

we would be better off putting a shoe out there...the TE might trip on it.

A. Please show me where I said anything about his "endless pool of supposed talent." All I said is that he is decent and underdeserving of all the crap that people like you continually sling at him.

B. I didn't say he wasn't our worst LB although that is a very debatable point. For the sake of argument, let's say he is....that doesn't mean he's deserving of the ridiculous stuff many here are saying about him. Considering the Saints defense ranked 4th last year with Shanle out there playing the bulk of the snaps, he can't be half as bad as you are saying.

C. He was scheduled to start last year on the strong side anyway. Casillas or Dunbar or my grandmother could've won the weak side job and Shanle still would've been out there on the strong side. Maybe if you actually followed what was going on instead of blindly criticizing you would've been aware of that little fact.

a. you defend him as if we are talking about lawrence taylor
b. your right if he was the worst LB he wouldnt be starting. again...this is the scariest thing.
c. i stand corrected, he was moved to that side. but he still was the worst defensive player on the field at any given time.

but please..tell me what he brings to the table...PLEASE.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I'll sleep well because Shanle is ours to keep
Should he get beat out in training camp
I will not shout nor throw a temper tamp
Cause I know in my heart he's not the best
My GOD will this thread please die a horrible death
