Yes. Their run support is as good, they're faster, they're better in coverage (at least Sanders), they're excellent special teams players, and they're cheaper.
The edge Milloy would have would be leadership, but it seems this defense gets plenty of that as it is, and some coaches have called Milloy "selfish" before.
The Pats cutting Milloy is what actually spurred my first post at the old site. I was one of (IIRC) two who was in favor of his release. I thought then that he was a liability on the field, and his best quality was leadership, but Belichick would be crazy to pay that much for a locker room guy.
I just mention this in case the impression is that I'm bitter at Milloy from when he left. I'm not bitter, I would have packed his bags for him.
