Lol, perhaps maybe a co-leadership between the two.

I really wish we used that pick on a linebacker now

At this stage in Vilmas career, Hawthorne is a better LB, this is a major injury for vilma...
If Hawthorne stays healthy Vilma will not come off IR to play which couldn't possibly happen until week 9.

He is being stashed for retirement and to free up a roster spot.

meachem deep is waste of money. thats all he can do.

Defense is is need of a player then again the OL could use a player also.

PT goes down we are sunk in the run game.

Wow amazing what 1 spot does to ya

We may need Jon down the stretch.

Vilma hasn't been top shelf since that sports hernia thing a few years ago.
He never really got his leverage back. He was already undersized, which
worked for him, and us, with his speed to the ball. He hasn't been that guy
for quite a while. It seems his ailments have begun to compound themselves.
I hope he can get back to 8 tackles a game. I'd be satisfied with 4.

Vilma was put on the return IR because he was elgible. No other player was a candidate or worthy of the designation. He may come back and contribute. He may not. Having him available to return can only be a positive for the Saints. As far as Meachem goes, all we've heard from the SD media is how he's physically done. Clearly, that's not the case or the Saints would not have signed him. If healthy, and I assume he is, he's absolutely an upgrade over Tanner.

Comparing Meachem to Tanner is apples to oranges... Way different type of receivers
