Just thought i would post this for those of you that want Arrington Over Peterson
 
how is it AL WILSON, KEITH BULLUCK,TEDDY BRUSCHI, DAN MORGAN AND TAKEO SPIKES are all ahead of our ZACH? how? these are not the top 10 LB because zach is the real deal a franchise linebacker.
 
here's what they said about each player:

julian peterson
Has a rare first-step and is very effective as a nickel rusher. Has the versatility to lineup in a number of spots and is extremely difficult to gameplan against. Has played OLB, ILB, DE, SS and CB. He is at his best when he is close to the line of scrimmage and can use his speed to shoot gaps and chase plays down from behind. Has tremendous closing speed and has a nose for the ball. Will chase a lot of plays down in pursuit and is a good open-field tackler. Has great instincts and is a playmaker. He is adequately effective verse the run. He is improving his ability to read blocks and take better angles to the ball. Is also adept at dropping into coverage. Can turn and run with most tight ends and backs, has terrific range and great footwork. Is very explosive at the snap and can turn the corner in a hurry. Peterson is a rare athlete, but he is not a big, physical player and you can negate some of his quickness by running right at him.
lavar arrington
He attacks the line of scrimmage vs. run. He uses his hands and plays with leverage. He can shed blockers and has good upper body strength. He has excellent overall athletic ability. He can change direction, has good body control, and ease of movement. He stays off the ground and plays with balance and agility. He has good instinct and is able to read and diagnose plays quickly. He has the speed and quickness to make plays form sideline to sideline. He takes good pursuit angles and is fast enough to catch plays from behind. He has an excellent motor and is around the ball. However, Arrington is overaggressive at times and gets himself out of position, creates running lanes by getting up the field too far or bites on play fakes. He is not effective as a pass rusher from a three point stance as he is from a two point stance. He takes a lot of chances and sometimes does not play in the defensive scheme and needs to be more disciplined.
 
It is from this years rankings. Petersen only made abou1 mil last year so maybe he accustomed t getting paid less than arrington..lol
 
According to that as well, Julian is the 12th best player AT ANY POSITION in the NFL. Daunte is 16.

Thus, Nick would have added two of the TOP 16 players. Wow.

These rankings are a good read but they are a year old. Thye were done prior to the 2005 season. Please note that they have players like Dat Nguyen and Jamie Sharper ahead of Will Witherspoon. They also don't seem to take Peterson's injury into account. If his achilles injury affects that first step they refer to, then his ranking will change drastically.
