Re: Linebackers Jon Vilma, Victor Butler, Martez Wilson among the many energized New Orleans Saints players

Vilma will be playing the WILB in Rob Ryan's system. From everything I've read its very similar to a WLB in a 4-3.
I'm more concerned about Lofton at SILB. He's never played it and we're not sure how good he is at fighting off OG's for a whole game for 16 weeks. I think Galette or Wilson may even be better suited for it than Lofton. Hawthorne may be a better fit as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if Martez was put in that position. I know he was able to pressure some QB's from that spot last year.
