I dont think sed ellis fits a 4-3 either.

Scott Shanle doesn't fit any defense

Sed. Ellis?
We know he can't rush the passer, but could he possibly be a NT in a 3-4?

Prob about as many that don't fit the 4-3 either. In other words most of them sucked

he's smaller than bunkley, and the way I see it
in a 4-3 he didn't demand a double team and in a 3-4 the NT needs to command a double team most of the time to free up the olbs. with that being the case, hell no!

Curious about your reasoning for this statement.

What statement did I make?

shanley and vilma inside. sed as a nt. it will really improve this defense, imo.

Now thats a good point. Sed was probably gone no matter what system we run next year. Just worth a discussion.

No.....
Lofton and Hawthorne will play inside. Shanle and Vilma have no place in this defense

I don't know who this guy his, but neither him or Scotty better be back next season.

Vilma

Eric Mangini's arrival as coach in 2006 meant switching from a 4-3 defense, where Vilma's skills as middle linebacker were best utilized, to a 3-4, where they were not.

Saints need to get John Jenkins to be NT & I can see Braylon Broughton working as a 3-4 DE
Posted on 1/25/13 at 8:40 am to jembeurt
Vilma can only succeed in the NFL behind some fat arse dt s in a 4-3
