I agree with 76 ... this team needs to continue to look for the next Vilma in the middle.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hi jack your original TE thread with the linebacker talk.

We were that bad at linebacker in the middle before Vilma; and I don't remember the Saints defense shutting down anyone that year...

I do remember the secondary led by Sharper creating a lot of turnovers...
