Saints LB Jonathan VIlma says he would play every down against Denver is the coaches let him
Excerpt:
"I felt a little rusty, especially with the new defense, getting used to some of the new guys on the team and not being around them," he said . "I didn't get a chance to practice in OTAs or training camp or preseason, so for me this is a crash course in everything-- the new defense, the new guys, playing, getting into shape. "
The fact that he is playing at all is rather unexpected . NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for the season in May. Even after he got a reprieve 2 days prior to the season opener against Washington when a three-man appeals panel vacated that suspension and asked Goodell to clarify the reasoning , the Saints put Vilma on the Physically Unable to Perform list due to a sticking around left knee problem . Goodell suspended him again on Oct. 9.People:

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
