I understand the logic behind the if it ain't broke don't fix cliche , but we have to give Vilma his fair shake at a serious role in our defense.

3-4 or not he's easily the best linebacker we have in coverage when healthy , we can get technical and talk about the differences in roles but If every other defender we had in our pathetic 4-3 can come out fine in the transition to the 3-4 and be a top 5 defense Vilma should be way better than just fine as he is easily the smartest defender on the field as well ( he matched wits with Peyton manning for a superbowl ) I've never seen Vilma give up a game breaking score of miss a simple tackle and he is very loyal to our cause ...

With either making an early return I don't see it at all being a negative for us defensively. I'm actually pretty pumped to see what Vilmas got in this defense. Our success this year isn't a testament to our physically being fit for this defense but being very intelligent defensively. Rob Ryan frequently comments on how easy this process was because of the intelligence our defenders have.

Last but not least who has the time to figure out who our weak linebacker is when Jordan of galette is in their face ?

But that's the problem, brother, he's not healthy, his knee is in decline, and the week to week uncertainty we saw last year was as much about his knee as it was the bountygate bullshinski...

His heart, mind, and the rest of him is there, it's just that damnable knee situation that is making retirement a reality...

But if there's anyone I'd want to keep in the organization and community, it is Jon Vilma - he's great for South Louisiana!
