GlennFoley Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Before I get killed for this hear me out. Vilma is too small for the 3-4 IMO, and the way he looks he doesn't have the frame to add anymore weight. The Patriots linebackers are huge, and thats thier stregnth. Plus Vilma pads his stats we all know this. The guy doesn't sack the QB, and he doesn't really force turnovers. Most of his tackles are 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. If we can get a first rounder for Vilma, and then sign someone Cowart(who would be good in the 3-4) and draft a guy like Carpenter in the 2nd round we would be better off.. I know it will never happen, but its a decent idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit padding Vilma's stats to make him look better. Most of his tackles are 7 yards downfield, not 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Trade Vilma, sign Cowart. You are on your A game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Actually Troll, he does make a good point about Vilma playing in a 3-4. Which would be very valid, if we were playing a 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Which would be very valid, if we were playing a 3-4. I know, and that's one reason why I see Mangini staying with the 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcat21 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Why would you trade the only guy on the team worth keeping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Why would you trade the only guy on the team worth keeping? Because in a 3-4 he would be useless unless he has good coverage skills and could be used at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Because in a 3-4 he would be useless unless he has good coverage skills and could be used at safety. Vilma is way too small to play safety. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think you guys have been hanging out with Bradway tyo much. A 230 lb ILB (yeah right) in a 3-4 defense? You are kidding right? He's not going to have 4 d lineman in front of him to keep the offensive linemen off of him. It's no coincidence that the smallest ILB for the Patriots is 245 lbs.

mudcat21 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well if they don't have the personnel to play a 3-4 then why implement a system the players will fail in? Same thing happened with Vermins Cover 2 in the secondary. It failed because the system didn't fit the players Vermin hand picked to execute it. Secondly, why would you trade Vilma for a first rounder? So you can pay another player a big first round bonus? You want to keep the good players you paid big bonuses to.
