this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Lofton at the MLB position, but as soon as Vilma is healthy enough to play, maybe week 7 - he should come in and relieve Shanle of his duty....

Re: So who do you prefer at MLB?
Lofton is a better MLB and has looked decent in coverage for us so far.

Re: So who do you prefer at MLB?
If we have money for both, under the cap, which doesn't seem to be a problem, then why not both.
He doesn't have to play every down, but what matters most to me, is that I definitely want to see Vilma go out in style, in a Saints uniform -- not leave the team on bad terms or feel like he's been put out to pasture like an old horse. The man has a lot of love for him in this city and a future here after football. Doesn't mean we have to automatically keep starting him at LB until he's 45 years old, but he's done enough here that he deserves to go out like a hero and not get thrown under the bus. |

Re: So who do you prefer at MLB?
I am all for Lofton/Vilma/Hawthorne Shanle has not been on a decline the last three years he has flat out not produced.
Vilma has been on the decline statistically the last three years but GW defense seems to have really screwed up a lot of players. If Vilma can come back healthy, let him play out as much of the year as possible with Shanle losing to the wayside. |

Re: So who do you prefer at MLB?
Vilma is a perfect fit for the WLB. Lofton will stay at MLB.
I think Vilma returns by week 4 and plays making our LB corp look like: SLB Hawthorne MLB Lofton WLB Vilma |

Re: So who do you prefer at MLB?
If that's the choice, I'd got with Lofton, just because Vilma looked slow last season but I don't think that'll be the only options. If Vilma heals up, I think we'll see both Lofton and Vilma in the middle and both of them on the weak side at different times. Just to keep d coordinators guessing.
