Only twice have the Patriots had effective numbers running to Mankins side that could be considered anything other than average. |
He's more known for pulling to the right side. Many of his runs come on pulls.

That's because of Matt Light, who had a poor year by his standards. Watch Logan's work pulling to the right off short-pass and screen plays. He's a beast. |

Mankins is a very good pulling guard. He's not great at straight up mauling someone who lines up across from him, but thats not necessarily a bad thing.
Tomorrow I'll go through the whole list and color code based on who should be higher/lower.

My explanation--Pretty much every eagles fan I know spent the season talking about how terrible their line was and how it should be without a doubt their top offseason priority. So for me I guess its the fallacy of division. I'll gladly advocate for him to be higher.

He played RT with Vick being left handed which kind of explains his lights-out play for most the season, I think he's about where he belongs on the list.

I think Eli has become a little bit underrated by being overrated, but I also don't think that he deserves to be among the top 100 players in the NFL.
I got my homer shades out for Freeman, and he probably does not deserve a spot on this list, and it will likely come out in the wash.
Back to Eli, I think he has a propensity for turnovers, one can argue that he got unlucky with a few tipped balls ending up in the arms of defenders, but he just set a career high in completion percentage, at 62.9%. He has thrown 69 interceptions in the last four years and has twice thrown the most interceptions in the league, over that same time span he has also fumbled 39 times. The 102 TD's over the same time span are not enough to make up for his tendency to turn the ball over.
Eli is a bit of an enigma, he is a very polarizing figure, people tend to love or hate him, which is ironic considering he is probably a middle of the table NFL QB right now.

Revis out of the top 10 is a headscratcher. Beason, Hampton and Flowers are all WAAAAY too high in that list. |
Why is Flowers too high, go back and look at the metrics the guy posts, he is right there among the top of that 2nd tier and he has done it ever since he stepped foot on an NFL field, not to mention his first two seasons he did it without pass rush help.
I had him in my top 20. I heavily weighted corners, early, but he still more than deserves the spot he has.

I feel I have to make an argument for Karlos Dansby in here somewhere. I think his absence from this list, and indeeed from most of the voting is a real shame.
Karlos is one of the true complete linebackers in the NFL right now. You can literally ask him to do anything you would ask of a linebacker and he can do it well. He falls down becasue he is not elite in one aspect, he does not make a huge number of big hits, he is not a guy who blitzes a huge amount, he is not a guy who is going to get his hands on a huge number of passes.
But he is a guy you can ask to blitz and he will usually get pressure. He is a guy you can ask to drop back and play deep middle coverage, and he will do so well, getting good depth and often preventing the pass from being completed.
Over the past three seasons in terms of "big" or "splash" plays he has outproduced most, and has at least matched the four big name MLB's hanging around the league right now.
8 sacks, 21 stuffs, 5 FF, 3 FR, 3 INT's for Dansby compared to the likes of;
11 sacks, 9 stuffs, 6 FF, 1 FR, 4 INT's for Patrick Willis
8.5 sacks, 16.5 stuffs, 6 FF, 6 FR, 5 INT's for Ray Lewis
4 sacks, 20 stuffs, 3 FF, 2 FR, 4 INT's for Jon Beason
4 sacks, 17.5 stuffs, 2 FF, 4 FR, 2 INT's for Brian Urlacher (Though he missed most of 2009)
If you want to look at run defeats and stops, and the average yardage surrendered with respect to running plays Dansby is comparable too;
141 stops and 41 defeats, with averages of 3.6, 4.3, and 3.8 over the past three seasons.
Beason has 162 stops, 38 defeats with averages of 4.4, 3.9 and 3.5 over the past three seasons.
Willis has 136 stops, 26 defeats with averages of 4.4, 4.4 and 4.7 over the past three seasons.
Lewis has 161 stops, 37 defeats with averages of 3.4, 3.1 and 3.8 over the past three seasons.
He has slipped many peoples minds since his high paying move to the Dolphins, but he performance has not slipped one iota, he is still as great as he was his last two seasons in Arizona, and those seasons saw him a top 5 ILB in the NFL, and certainly one of the top 100 players in the league.
He has posted very comparable numbers to three other linebackers who were all ranked in the top 40 of this list, yet Dansby going into the final section of 20 had a grand total of 0 votes.
It is a travesty that he is not on this list.

What do you feel seperates Vilma, and in particular Harris from Dansby.
See my above post for my "tangible" arguments for Dansby.

Some people had him in their top 20. If you took it in terms of which player plays their position better than other players in the NFL play their positions, Lechler as a punter plays that role better than 95% of players in the NFL, and it is a reason for him to be considered.
I personally used positional bias, others did not, if I was not using positional bias, Lechler would have undoubtedly been in my top 10, and I probably would have had three punters in the top 100.

He doesn't seem to be the type that excels at anything. He is very good at several different aspects, but he doesn't jump out at you. Vilma is excellent in coverage, Harris is excellent as a "thumper", so the fact that they are more specialized is what gives them a slight distinction to me. I definitely think all 3 should be on the list though.

I mentioned that exact thing in my above post. Dansby may not excel in coverage like Vilma, but he is a far superior pass rusher and run defender. He may not be the run thumper that Harris is, but he is far superior in coverage.
