Vilma question re-visited...?
Can we win THIS game without his leadership? In his career with the Saints, it's safe to say he knows the Falcons offense about as good as anyone except maybe G.W., and he aint playing.
I don't have a statistical mind. Which game was it that he missed this year? Did we suffer? ......... In the locker room - "Hey, someone put a warm blood bag into the corpse over there!" "Which one?" "The number 58 corpse, you know... SHANLE! We need a warm linebacker body for Sunday." Alaska |

You could tell the last couple of games he played, he was not himself. This is for the best. 3 weeks of rest and hopefully he should be back in business.
I will say, Jo-Lunn Dunbar has filled in pretty decently in his absence. He is getting everybody where they need to be and that's what we rely on Vilma to do the most. We haven't suffered in his loss to much IMO. |

![]() If Vilma is not healthy enough to play then I don't think that there's any question about whether or not the Saints will be better off without him on the field. Dunbar has played well, which is good because the Saints really don't have any other option than to start him as the MLB. GW has complimented Dunbar's football IQ on a number of occasions, so I think he'll be a good backup to Vilma as the D's QB. As long as the D tackles as well as they did against the Tampoons - I think the D will be fine against Matty Lice and the run. It was also exciting to see Sharper at the sidelines during last game - hopefully he'll be able to build up the confidence of the DBs, especially young guys like Patrick. |

I have read a few posts laughing at this, but I haven't seen ANY posts this week complaining about Shanle like there have been after previous games.
Some we have won and some we haven't, so the guy must be doing something right/better. |
