Best NFL Defender of All Time
This topic was inspired by an article I stumbled upon on ESPN.com

Top 10 Defenders of All Time

An argument can be made for many, many players. Personally I'd like to pick L.T. just for pride of one's team. I can't go with L.T. though. In the article this guy says Reggie White was the best ever, I can't agree with that either.

I say Sam Huff. Former Giant LB.

30 Career Interceptions
Played in 6 NFL Title Games
5 Pro Bowls
All-NFL 4 times
Top NFL LB in 1959

Also reknown for his infamous competitons with the great backs of his era:

Jim Brown - Cleveland Browns
Rick Casares - Chicago Bears
Alan Ameche - Baltimore Colts

Quite a few accomplishments. Post yours, a little bit of their accomplishments that ought to help with discussion.

1 guy? Really should be by Position because comparing a DL to a DB is difficult.

I'll go Reggie white.

As for his top 10. I take off Seau and possible Smith. Seau is overated, most his tackles were after gains, not for a loss, yes, all MLB have to guess and hit holes and sometimes make mistakes (Lewis gets crap for this all the time) but Seau did it more then most. He didn't carry the team in 1995 either.

Smith was a great DL, but if you talk to people who played w/ him and get them to give an honest conversation, they'll tell you he was about himself and stats and frequently pulled himself from key situations in games.

Who do I add.... tough call again...

If you put smith for leading in sacks... why not Greene, Doleman, Randle? Me, I add Derrick Thomas, if he hadn't been in that accident, he might be the all-time sack leader and not the way Smith did it.

hmm... since I put in a LB now I'll add a DB. Rod Woodson. Take Deion sanders, w/ less flash, and a much better tackler and thats Rod Woodson.

Yes, Rod Woodson is a very solid player, always seems to make plays.

I also thought about Deion but I don't believe he is as a complete player as others were.

Also, I think Bruce Smith is a piece of crap. He had talent but for the given reasons VEL stated that takes him down a peg or two. I would even throw Strahan on for being able to get the sack but it never seems like he gets any at that golden moment. Eh. I guess it is tough to say best defender all around but thats how the guy in the article did it.

Yeah Shaun was our bread and butter so to speak. He rushed for like 291 against LSU one game on 20 carries.

I think Prime Time, and I am also a big Ray Lewis fan as well. Deion totally shut down half the field of play, that is ridiculous. Ray Lewis, I dont really think he stacks up against a lot of what the old timers did, but he is such a competitior. You are safe no where against Lewis. He is an animal.

Unless he is getting blocked..which has been happening a lot this year.

Deion is the fucking man though. His tackling stats are pretty ridiculous tho, one year he had more INTs then tackles

That's why he is the best ever. If you could actually complete a pass on him, you had earned a touchdown.

I wouldn't call that the best. Maybe the best cover corner. Run his way instead. Probably couldn't tackle the tackling dummy.
