I wasn't sure what to expect but he did well in his first start. He didn't always take the right angle and missed some plays. But considering he is normally inactive and has only had limited snaps this year, he made some plays and showed a lot of hustle.

For a special teamer that rarely plays LB, he played a very nice game.
Maybe he’s got something if he can get some more reps. Linebackers need reps to learn how to diagnose plays.

I also like Liafau (sp?). I think he's going to be a good one too.

He had good energy. Needs to work on his ball-cradling skills though, lol.

It's amazing that the Cowboys are playing this well with backups. It's awesome. Tampa gave them all they had and could not beat them and that Panther team that they dominated won this week and should have beat the Eagles.

The kid was all over the field. Good job noticing him.

Lots of guys getting a chance and playing hard to try and make a statement. The physicality was awesome. Felt like a playoff game. Contrasting that game to the Green Bay playoff game last year is unreal.

He's a Zimmer guy that the DC knows is not great but is reliable because he had to step in for him before in Minny and did a pretty good job. Both he and Liufau did a good job of stepping up in this one. Don't think Vigil should be relied on to be more than a backup/fill-in, though, while hopefully, Liufau is able to develop as a starter. We need it, especially with Overshown possibly out through next year.

I would have lost a lot of money betting against the idea that 'Nick Vigil was awesome' would be an actual thread title this year.

You can take it one step further and note that the Tampa team beat both my Birds and the #1 currently seeded Lions ( in Ford field).
Very physical performance. Impressive. I think guys like Wilson and Liufau were feeding off one another. How you begin to build a culture.

I like #41. He is a great depth LB @ worst. Quicker than expected and plays a violent brand of football.
He also won the Bengals game until a brainfart lost it.
Not sure he's a starter but deserves a roster spot next year, and a harder look @ his play moving forward.

right I was saying the same thing I was like who was 41 but truthfully though about four or five weeks ago and kendricks missed the other game he wasn't good at all he didn't look good at all the entire defense looked at a whack but I guess it took a game wearing the green dot I mean I believe he was calling the D, yes he looks pretty good and you're right look at what Leah who's Liafu done the last couple of weeks..
It's too bad that Overshown probably going to miss half the year next year, because if you look at Parsons ,Vigil, Liafu, and even I bring back Kendricks for another year, if he wants to stay on a deal like he already signed I mean they do look solid I mean that's the one thing the last four or five weeks have shown us we have depth all over this team...Lawson, butler, gholston, AO, all get honorable mention im my book..

You couldn't be more spot on.
The banged up Cowboys played w/emotion and pride. They came in to wreck the Bucs season if they could.
Now it's tough to replicate that level of intensity 17x. It really is.
But there's no excuse for not doing so in the post-season when for sure your opponent will. None.
DLaw used to say "burn the bridges" but the team played like it was counting on outside help of some kind to beat GB & SF.

He's been in the league since 2016 and has been a starter in both Cincy and Minnesota. Of course, a person can get rusty not playing, but he's not a youngster just learning
