Jack Silvagni was never clearly in everyone's best 23. He was often the one that missed out, and Im one of the people who would select him more often than not.
Thing is, last year was arguably his best output for a season. 13 games, in which he was subbed early at least twice, and was influential in only about 2 of them. He was otherwise very good, but not the difference. He's joining a pretty defensive unit so I expect he will look good at the Saints, but I wonder how much of him looking like an elite defender, was as much to do with the players around him and how we defended as a team as it was him. We certainly didnt get pummelled without him, and he played in our worst loss for the year before succumbing to injury (vs Port).
