Vilma to make his debut against Bucs

10-15-2012, 12:06 PM

That's great news. I hope they've had enough time to work out who will be playing at what position before the game. The defense has already spent the first 6 weeks of the season trying to figure out who goes where.

Have a feeling Spags had a plan for using the LB's with Vilma in/out the lineup.

If Vilma's knee holds up during practice it should be interesting to see if it improves the D - against the run and getting pressure on the QB.

Vilma 3rd down

Hope Vilma gets the start at OLB, please don't move lofton from MLB hes leading the league in tackles and is the man there

Are we 100% sure Berrigan is going to freeze the suspensions?

Lofton has EARNED the spot at MLB, and he's proven he can shake a blocker. Vilma gets bogged down when blocked, but has a head for the game. He should call the play then take the weak side.

That would be a positive contribution.

But no one stands still like Shanle.

For Halloween I think I am going to make a Shanle Crow for my front yard.

From what I've read, this isn't Berrigan, it's the process under the CBA. Goodell suspended them, they appealed and they'll get to play until the appeal is ruled on. I also read they won't act on the appeal till next Tuesday.
That means all 4 of them can play this week.

Since Vilma hasn't practiced with the team at all in 2012, do you think he'll be familiar enough with Spag's zone system to be the on field play caller?
