Who was the defensive MVP?

[neuronet]

If a defensive player won MVP, who would it be?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Gilmore's INT was a game changer, so him...

 

[dtbrks]

gilmore

 

[Redman443]

Hightower. He played his guts out

 

[brdmaverick]

Another for Gilmore, but certainly tough to. Give it to one guy.......if there was ever a year to have ‘no mcp’ perhaps this was it.

 

[brdmaverick]

Or Jason McCourty for saving the game........if we go down 7-3 late in the third that game changes completely

It's just astounding to me that Danny ****ing Shelton played well in a Super Bowl win.

 

[JackBauer]

Can we only pick one?

 

[SBLIII]

Hightower for me. Dude was wrecking the Rams OL

 

[patchick]

Can we only pick one?

Agreed. For all that Gilmore and Jason McCourty made awesome highlight plays, the overhead shots that showed Goff staring at an utterly blanketed receiver corps, again and again, are highlights as well. My vote goes to the entire secondary.

Hightower drooped an int too. If he had held onto it he may have been the mvp of the game

 

[Love The Drake]

Chung that play on third down when the Rams were driving was huge.
I really think we completely shut them out if Chung stayed on the field.

 

[Nunchucks]

This was a truly team defensive effort. I think it is difficult to pick just one guy. Hightower certainly made his share of plays, but the other guys contributed to those plays.

Flores?

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I voted Hightower, but probably Gilmore. If Hightower had hauled in the interception, then I'd say him for sure. Regardless, the MVP could have gone to almost anyone on defense. So many stellar performances.

 

[slam]

Brian Flores!

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Gilmore, not just for the pick and overall performance but he allows us to run our packages trusting him on an island with the other teams 1 or 2. He is the most valuable piece on defense.

Already has 3 huge playoff plays in his short tenure thus far. Broke up the jags 4th down pass attempt. Tipped a foles pass to harmon for a pick when philly was driving to extend their lead, the ONLY play made by our d in that game. And the pick yesterday.

 

[manxman2601]

I’m not suggesting him for MVP last night but Lawrence Guy deserves a mention for his performances over the course of the year.

 

[patriot1136]

The entire defense. Really can't pick just one.

 

[Joey007]

Gilmore's INT was a game changer, so him...

And his PBU. Not to mention he had a FF.

Part of the reason no D player won MVP, IMHO, was they all played lights out which made it too hard to choose one.

Hightower and Noy were a force upfront. The entire backfield was great. I find myself in shock at how much of a stud Noy has become this year compared to when we first got him.
