Duck Fallas 209 Posted November 14, 2011 Since there is a thread for the offensive end, figured I would put one up for defense. My vote would have to be slightly homer: Ryan Kerrigan has 35 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 FF and a pick 6 to his credit this season. A very close second would go to Vonn Miller in Denver.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted November 14, 2011 Kerrigan's having a great rookie year, but I think Miller's been a little bit better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duck Fallas 209 Posted November 14, 2011 Kerrigan's having a great rookie year, but I think Miller's been a little bit better. I don't know. Other than sacks (Miller had 6.5 going into this week) Kerrigan and Miller have had almost identical stats. I know there should be more to it than just the numbers, but the numbers tend to be where people look first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted November 14, 2011 Aldon Smith only really gets in on nickel defense for now but he does have 6.5 sacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted November 14, 2011 Personal vote goes to Kerrigan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted November 14, 2011 Look no further than Von Miller. He's just so explosive off the line, that it doesn't matter how solid your technique is... you're gonna get beat if he rushes. On runs he's just always in on them, setting the edge or making the play himself. He's so aggressive and always in the backfield. Just a difficult player to stop.

KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted November 14, 2011 I'm sticking with Von for now but Kerrigan's performance against Miami definitely closed the gap a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
