stats are the biggest factor, but impact can move a guy up too.

do not factor in personality.. ie. Ray Lewis.

Man Tatonka, that's my list, I dare you post it before me:angry:

muhahahaha.. i read minds..

Tough one. As much as I hate to say it, Lewis has to be #1.

Urlacher after that. Spikes I'd rate as the highest, or close, OLB, but not in the top 5 b/c he is an OLB.

That's tough since I only know so many of them from primarily highlights, and not from watching them F/T.

1. Derrick Brooks
2. Brian Urlacher (interchangable with number 1 since Derrick Brooks constantly has healthy and good DTs in front of him)
3. Keith Brooking
4. Ray Lewis
5. Takeo Spikes
6. Julian Peterson
7. Keith Bullock
8. London Fletcher
9. Zach Thomas
10. John Mobley/Al Wilson

[Tatonka]

no way brooks is in front.. no way.

[R. Rich]

Ray Lewis (he does take some downs off; it's called offense/special teams)
Derrick Brooks (he could really be 1A to Lewis' 1)
Brian Urlacher (only Lewis and Brooks are better sideline to sideline)
Keith Brooking (scary!)
Takeo Spikes (now people will know how good he is!)
LaVar Arrington (man, can he hit!! Well, he is from Penn State after all!)
Joey Porter (showed last year he can do more than rush the passer)
Julian Peterson (may top this list soon)
Donnie Edwards (great last year for fantasy stats; thanks, Donnie!)
Zach Thomas (consistent, solid all-around)

There is no one better sideline to sideline than Urlacher. He caught Michael Vick from behind.

I agree with that...he and Brooks. The problem with Urlacher is I've seen him get knocked on his but by OL and FB's so many times. He has problems with the head on block. Good thing for him is that he's so fast he's able to get up and still chase down the runner for minimal gains.

[Earthquake Enyart]

With Big Ted and Traylor back, hopefully he won't have to take too many blockers head on. That is his problem.

But the guy is fun to watch. I couldn't believe he could catch Vick from behind.
