That simply means the back-ups are even worse.

I'm 99% positive the coaches are starting the players they think will perform the best, all things considered.

I also think they know who the better player is more than we do.

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013

If we were doing production/play analysis, then Martez Wilson should be starting...

He's wasn't starting and slow @$$ Will Smith was - so what gives?!?

I question the geniuses on defense these past three years...

My guess is that Wilson and Galette were used in certain packages that play to their strengths, which makes all of us say wow, those dudes can play.

On the other hand they may have been pulled from other packages where their weaknesses would be exposed.

Their grades may be skewed because of their use in specific situations.

'New chapter' as Vilma dealt from Jets to Saints - NFL - ESPN

By John Clayton | ESPN.com

Updated: February 29, 2008, 10:53 PM ET

"The Jets were going one direction, and I was going a different direction," Vilma said Friday. "I'm just glad I'm getting back into a 4-3 defense. This is better for both sides."

Vilma, considered a bit undersized at linebacker, didn't fit in as well in the Jets' 3-4 scheme. Unless the nose tackle in a 3-4 occupies two blockers, the middle linebacker in a 3-4 is subject to a steady diet of blocking guards or centers pounding on his body.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

It wasn't the move to the 3-4, it was a move to a 2-gap 3-4 scheme in which Vilma would be taking on O-Linemen.

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013

Did you mean Jordan at LED and Hicks at RDE? On paper Jordan does look like a better RDE than a LDE.

It seems to me that playing Jordan as a 3-tech RDE plays to his pass rush ability, and moving Hicks to the LDE playing the 5 tech plays to his strength and size.

I'm still new to all the nuances of the 3-4 over and 3-4 under alignments but it sure looks to my amature eyes that Jordan looks to be a better fit at the RDE.

But then again playing Hicks at RDE would give Vilma a much bigger body playing in front of him. Thats what the Ravens did with Ngata and it worked pretty well.
