I would love to see a healthy Vilma as one of the LB trio whatever position he would take over, but it's still very much up in the air whether or not he will be allowed to play this season.

As far as his health situation is concerned, none of us really knows, but in one of the recent pressers Vitt claimed that Vilma had been rehabbing really well and that he suggested that if Vilma was allowed to join the training camp, he'd be able to fully participate. He also said that Vilma was his own worst enemy when it comes to coming back from an injury in that he wants to take the field before he is back to 100%, and Vitt seemed to think that was the reason why he had picked up re-injuries in the past, so they'd have to monitor him closely before giving him the "OK" to suit up.

Anyway you slice it, the Saints D would be better with Vilma than without him - even if he couldn't take the field with the rest of the guys.

If we keep Vilma he would take the run snaps and let Cassilas pass cover. At least that's the way it breaks down in my head.
