Albert Haynesworth and Shawne Merriman are pretty decent players too. I put Haynesworth in the same category as Bob Sanders because they can both impact a defense with average supporting cast members.
 
Seymour would have been if this was made in 2005.
 
He may be getting on in the years but when 100% no one can dominate a game like Jamal Williams.

One for the future - David Harris.
 
What, no votes for Tuck, Strahan or Umenyiora?

Sorry guys, still can't shake the nightmares.

Seriously, it's got to be someone you gameplan around. Pats don't seem to do that with Merriman. Taylor gives us fits, so he qualifies. My vote is for Pat Williams of the Vikings. The Williams boys kind of come as a package, but I'll take Pat. The point is that nobody can run on the Vikes. The Pats don't even bother, they just throw.
 
Anybody who does not name someone on the Giants front 7 has to be in serious denial. Put me down for Jason Tuck. Lets hope Crable can give us some of that.
 
I voted for Troy P simply because I'm a total Homer...he hasn't shown up for 2 seasons now...but, I have his Jersey and he's a cool cat in my book. Total Homer call.

(Non Homer Call) I'd say Champ.
 
It is hard to compare different positions but from that list I would say Ed Reed.
Although if Urlacher was healthy I would have picked him instead.
