Some we have won and some we haven't, so the guy must be doing something right/better.

There is a simple answer to this... it gets tiresome to point out the same thing week after week.

Dunbar may not have the stoic presence of Vilma but the man can play. Shanle, I don't even want to have that conversation.

The linebackers have been playing faster with Vilma being out, until he is 100% and shows it, leave it alone. Vilma is good but right now he can't help us on the field.

Shanle is a good player, but he's not a spectacular player, so when he whiffs everybody wants to bring him down. I like him, and none of our hot shots have been able to displace him either.

I have to say Shanle is quietly doing well of late.

I mean he isn't fast, he isn't a lights out LB but he has come on lately and doing an ok job.

Shanle can tackle, maybe,just maybe he is rubbing off on the rest of the defense.

Since his inception into the NFL, which is 2003, he has 7.5 sacks and 2 int.

7.5!!! In 9 yrs???? Sadly, 4 of them came in the first year he played with us.

2 picks!!!! 2......but he is doing better...BAAAAH!!! He is crap, sorry if that offends someone.

Need we say more about #58? SO you know i'm not making this stuff up, see for yourself and then come back and tell me he is even a mediocre LB. http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/...9/scott-shanle

I have no problem with Shanle.

Shanle doesn't have the best talent in the world, but he is a hard worker who gives lots of effort. Believe me, if there is a better option available, that person would be starting. So far the Saints have not found that guy.
