Saints | Battle at linebacker

New Orleans Saints LBs Scott Shanle and Jonathan Casillas are in a heated battle for the starting job at weakside linebacker. Casillas led the team in tackles and tackles for a loss in the preseason opener, and it could be tough for the team to keep him out of the lineup. At the strongside, LBs Will Herring and Clint Ingram are in the mix to start, but rookie Martez Wilson is also pushing for the role. Shanle, should he lose out to Casillas on the other side, could also enter the mix.
