Does the fact that Vitt is also our LB coach scare you at all

The Dude · 07-25-2012, 09:31 PM

Our LBers have not exactly lit it up and has arguably been our weakest position during Vitts tenure here. What, if anything does this say about his head coaching ability? Just curious, I have never heard anyone discuss this point before

It's not like Vitt has the Dome Patrol Part II to work with!

Ask yourself this: How long has Shanle been a starter for the Saints?

How long has Vitt been on record saying Shanle is a great LB?? That to me has to atleast give one pause.

And what would you like him to say publicly? "Shanle sucks"?

Vitt can only work with the players he's given, within the system he's given.

No actually, I would like him to say nothing. He goes out of his way to talk him up. Somebody said that our LB's have sucked because of the personnel. I disagree because it's the coach's that bring in the personnel and then say that they are great when we can obviously see they are not.

Vitt has not brought anyone to this team. Who comes, who goes, is ultimately decided by the HC and GM.

Vitt has not installed any defensive scheme. He has to teach what's given to him by the DC.

And Vitt (I believe) didn't make the call on who's starting.

Vitt has to work within the parameters he's been imposed: he has to work within someone else's system, with the players and their personalities given to him. If he knows that Shanle responds well to public praise, well, of course he is going to do it, no?, Or if he's been told Shanle is going to start, what good would out of Vitt coming out in public and saying "Shanle is ok", or saying nothing at all?

And who knows, maybe Shanle is a very good LB but has been hampered by the systems he's played in? I mean, is it really his fault he got matched up with Vernon Davis?

Spags will put the smack down on the D. So lets see how things play out with new lb's in place.

I trust our front office and have faith that they have chosen the best person for the job.
