Default Vince Wilfork best NT in the league?
I know silly question to ask in a Pats forum but we seem to have a very objective group here. Seriously though who is better at the NT or for that matter an interrior DL spot than big Vince? If someone says Sapp you automatically get forum slapped haha.

i know he plays DT but Albert Haynesworth is playing out of his mind right now. I'd still take Wilfork but he's my early season number 2 interior D lineman.

Hard to go against Jamal Williams here, but Vince might be a slightly better pass rusher. And Haynesworth is a monster, but more of a penetrator.

I would have to go with Casey Hampton. People have overlooked just how well that Pitt Defense has been playing. Plus I don't think the DE's are comparable to NE's, it all starts in the middle.

Who's he competing against? There aren't many NT's in the league.

Casey Hampton and Jamal Williams would be pretty close/ahead of him in most people's eyes. If you're going with interior linemen than there's a couple of guys leaguewide who would be at that level, although I'm mostly thinking of non-NT types.

Jamal is good but I feel he plays more like a 4-3 lineman in a 3-4 scheme. Vince is doing what Ted Washington did for his one year here, except he's 13 yrs younger and 30 lb's lighter

He is close but I think Casey Hampton is the best NT in the league and I think Wilfork and Jamaal Williams are right there behind him.

stats cloud the mind watch technique and all will become clear. I know I sound like a honk but I was a NT in college and Semi-pro so I know a little something about this. His 2 gap technique and ability to shed the gaurd/center are amazing. When your a NT in a 3-4 your not supposed to make the tackle all the time but he beats his man off a 2 gap better than most 1 gap tackles
