Jonathan Vilma
6 February 2010
Will Smith is a force at defensive end, racking up 13 sacks this season. Linebacker Jonathan Vilma led the team with 110 tackles but will need help over the top if he's expected to cover any of the Colt receivers. In the secondary, Darren Sharper is a ball-hawk, with nine interceptions. Every time he makes a pick he's liable to take it back to the house, but who knows how many opportunities he'll get (if any) against Peyton Manning.

Up front, they have a lot of impressive talent. Charles Grant, Will Smith, Scott Fujita, & Jonathan Vilma all have the tools to get it done for this team, but its their cornerback position that really dropped the ball last season. It was far to easy to throw the ball against this team. Jason David could not get the job done. He was made to look foolish on almost every play. This defense needs to improve in pass coverage or they will never have a chance to make it back to the playoffs. I believe the Saints are a good enough team to even make a run at the championship, but without a strong defense that can get the job done, they will never get there. It takes 11 men to make a great defense. Defense wins championships. I am ready to see what Sedick Ellis can add to this defense. He is a star defensive tackle out of USC. Everyone knows USC has a great football program. Lets just hope that this first round USC draft pick doesn’t turn out to be a bust like their last first round USC Draft Pick.
