Default Brandon Spikes

Does anyone else think he's the best player on our defense (and by far?). I love the way he plays and for a while he's been the only player that I can appreciate on D.

Wilfork gets tired quickly and becomes ineffective, but Mayo is having a solid season for sure.

Spikes is very good against the run but not against the pass. He is not our best defensive player.

I already think Chandler Jones is our best player.

Too many penalties for Spikes, and poor in coverage...

But this is team defense, so his role is complimentary..

Can somebody explain to me why is Mayo our best player exactly? Tell me one thing he is spectacular at? He is a step behind in pass coverage like everybody else, he isn't some monster that you can't run at. At least Spikes brings that nastiness to compensate for whatever faults he has.

Mayo is more of a janitor. He cleans up negative plays and racks up the tackles.

He is not a potential blue chip player like a Wilfork or Chandler and no OC will look at the game tape and say - this guy is going to be a problem

Not hating on Mayo i think he is a starter on every team outside of SF i just don't think he is all that special.

I would say he is quickly becoming are best player but not there yet. He needs to improve his consistency and coverage skills.

He is easily the most intimidating player though!!
