Who’s defense MVP? So far

[NCHawker]

Anyone on d-line?

Linebackers?

Defensive backs?

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

That’s a tough one. Everyone has shined at parts of the season.

 

[Northside Hawk]

I've been his harshest critic in earlier years but it might be X.

He sets the tone for the whole defense. Aaron Graves deserves mention as well.

 

[CP87]

In some order: Graves, Lutmer, Hall?

I said before (keep in mind I know jack squat about how to play football or evaluate play beyond results like scores and stats) that this may be one of the more complete defenses we've seen. Because there's no standout certifiable "studs" beyond maybe Graves?

There's no Sanders, Devries, DeJean, King or King, Sash, Claiborne, Epenesa (yet)...

Just guys doing what they're supposed to do and executing...and getting similar results. Just a comprehensive unit of quality players. I do think it starts with a defensive line that makes it really hard for opposing offenses to do what they want when they want to do it.

TJ Hall

Been the most consistent this season. Has shutdown his side of the field all year long.

Lutmer is coming on strong. Now doing double duty as the corner in base and cash in the 4-2-5.

Graves deserves some love, too…but for me it is Hall, Lutmer, and Graves. Ask me at end of the year and I might switch Lutmer and Hall.

I would probably agree here. Hall has been locked down since game 1.
