After all I said about Vigil's poor tackling he did a nice job against Pittsburgh. He did a really nice stack and shed of Pouncy to help tackle Bell in the hole with Burfict. Really nice job. Meanwhile Maualuga was totally detonated by the fullback...
Encouraging to see good open field tackling on a guy like Laveon Bell. I really hope they give him some significant snaps in the next few games.

Vigil has been a step away from making TONS of plays. I think another year in the system and he may actually pan out.
Thought he played much better in last weeks game also.
Hopefully Marvin and co. keep giving him reps.
I've been skeptical but he at least looked capable at times out there.

I have some hope for vigil. What if we had the Alabama linebacker and burfict and vigil. I'd love to see Dawson brought up too.

Look forward to seeing how Vigil develops with a season under his belt.
That being said though the defense needs lots of help in the draft.

Many thanks to Maualuga for a good career. But I hope both he and Dansby are in their final season.
IMHO, O-line is #1 concern but after that D-line and LB are tied for #2.
We need a stud DE and a stud OLB or MLB. Don't know how you break it up between FA and draft ? But hopefully Vigil pans out and we can get better at LBer.

Ruben Foster would be awesome at middle linebacker. He and Burfict would be so fun to watch together. But we seriously need some major help at linebacker. Major help. Right now it's Burfict and that's it. Nothing even average next to Burfict. We definitely need a big time player next to Burfict.
