Usa today ranks defensive linemen.

Ogun over Shoebel? Ogun had 1 great year playing opposite JT. Otherwise he's done nothing. At least Aaron has been consistently solid.

You and I know Schobel disappears at times. I have no problem with someone thinking he isnt better than those 25 guys.


Oh Yeah, I cant read the PM you sent me until I get 50 posts.

The article can be found here.

Jason Taylor of the fins is listed as the seventh ranked defensive end.

Sam Adams of the bills is listed as the tenth ranked Defensive tackle.

Thoughts?


Silly assessment. No way Taylor is 7th. 1-3 yes, 7 no

abraham better than taylor? no way...JAson actually plays hwne his team needs him

This is exactly what I thought when I read that. There is no way Abraham more val or better the Taylor.

Yup, not very well done, I am wondering if any reseasrch was actually done, or did this guy just take known names and put them where he guessed they should be.
 
The only defensive end who may have more speed than Taylor is Kearse. I would not say Freeney or Mathis have better speed. Mathis benefits almost exclusively from being opposite Freeney. Freeney is extremely good, but his closing speed isn't the best.

What is really a joke is that Taylor's strength is third lowest in the top 25 (KGB and Mathis). 23rd? Are you kidding me? Would a guy get any sacks if he was usually double-teamed (sometimes triple) and his strength was that low?

I could go on and on, but this is a joke already.
 
Hold on...Hold on....Hold on......Hold on....Hold on.....Hold on!!!......JASON TAYLOR....Is the 7TH ranked Defensive END??! Can you even think of 3 others that are better than Jason?? I CANT!
 
That list is a joke. Where's Pat Williams? Aaron Schobel? Jason Taylor 7th? I understand they are predicting their 2005 production, but that JT information they are using (to lower his rank) is like 3 months old and has since been debunked. Horseh!t.
 
I not agree more, the list is a tatal joke, Jason Taylor is at least a top three DE, not seven. What I dont understand is someone has one good year out of their whole career and that one season makes them better then what it takes another player 6-8 years to put together. People need to watch what a player does their whole career, not one season.

PHINS 4-EVER
 
Taylor is the best DE

1. Fast
2. Great vs Pass
3. Great vs Run
4. Makes no names get sacks
5. If people say peppers is better, look

Mike Rucker 3.5 sacks, D-Bo 7
 
my list dt's and de's

1 pepers
2 jt
3 strahan
4 freeny
5 rice
6 seymour
7 stroud
8 g'lover
9 kearse
10 abhraham
 
Jason Taylor should have been above Jevon Kearse.

I can't stand Jevon Kearse - he should be nominated for ugliest player of the year awards every year.
 
Thoughts? Ok you asked for them.

whoever ranks JT out of the top 3 is f'n clueless (at best) when it comes to knowing wtf theyre talking about. Kearse? Berry? Gimme a break. Someone slap some sense into this punk.

JT makes careers (Trace, Ogun)
