With the talent that we have on defense, who is the most important player: Peterson, Nevis, Shep?

It starts at Nevis, then Shep and PP have equal impact. All incredibly valuable for us.

Tyrann Mathieu. Everyone knows what those guys can do, but Tyrann being able to lock down the other corner spot has been huge. Plus, he's forced a lot of turnovers and had many sacks or big hits.

Nevis....No question....starts up front. He demands double teams that free up the LB's and still provides presure that helps out he DB's. The man is a beast this year...so glad he lived up to the HYPE!

It's Nevis

It's an incredible advantage when you can control the line of scrimmage and basically eliminate running up tye middle. Add that to the fact that he's making TFL and getting sacks, he is invaluable.

It feels good to say (after a very long time) - while we have lot of play makers, there is no such "most important player" - as in team would be radically different without them!!

We only have a round table of equals! If one falters - the others pick up the slack. If one has to take a break , we have some able replacements which try to cover up as much as possible.

man, all of those guys are needed. think about it, one is DL, one is LB and one is secondary. they are leaders and they completely upgrade the quality of play for their unit when they are in the game.

Sheppard by far. Stellar play and great leadership.

Nevis right now is the most important, but all of the ones you named are.

Nevis is disrupting plays before they ever have a chance to develop.
