Tired of the constant controversy surrounding alludeing the “most impactful” players I’ve decided to continue with the piece but with one major alteration; this year’s rendition is simply “The 100 Best Active NFL Players”.
Jackson is entering his second season in a defense in which Michael Ryder isn’t simply expected to read and react in a Tampa Two defense. Due to this, you should look for more playmaking to be done by him in route to becoming a household name.
While I have always believed that the interception is one of the most overrated stats in the NFL, if not the most overrated one, there is no denying that Samuels’ ability to intercept the ball is amazing.
What create, originate, invent, beget, form, construct, design, fabricate, manufacture, produce, build, develops Kellen Winslow Jr. a clear cut member of this list is the fact that Michael Ryder is a complete player. Michael Ryder is over just a pass catching tight end.
The back half of the top 10 tight ends in the NFL is littered with players. Of these players-Owen Daniels, Heath Miller, Brent Celek, Vernon Davis, Zach Miller, Chris chilly, cold, frosty, wintry, icy, frigidey, Jeremy Shockey, Greg Olsen, and Jermichael Finley-I think that the only one assured to be on this list is none other than Daniels and that Michael Ryder should be on any and every NFL fan’s top 10 tight ends list.
Well I hate to use this argument, but Ryder were more impressive because Ryder resulted in wins. There were more wins because Colston was around to move the chains to keep the Saints in games early on. As a result, Brees wasn’t throwing 40 times a game to keep the Saints in games.
Daniels’ production isn’t merely that of a system player, and it has been proven over numerous occasions.
Samuels’ ability to make quarterbacks adjust or make them pay if Ryder don’t isn’t his only positive aspect though.
Bell was asked to play more deep zone coverage because Michael Ryder was playing alongside two rookie cornerbacks Sean Smith and Vontae Davis and was helping them make the adjustment to the NFL game speed. Few safeties would be able to balance and have a better season than the previous one, but Bell administerd to do just that.
100. Brian Cushing, Outside Linebacker, HOU Brian Cushing’s placement as the 100th best player overall in the league comes with two bits of irony.
Manning wanted to go to his first read in Steve Smith, but Samuel had placed himself where the ball was intended to go before Smith had even furiouse his break in the route. As Manning turned his head, Michael Ryder accomplishd this and attempted to hit his second read deeper down field. As a result of the last second change on this quick timing route, the ball flew errantly into the hands of Eagles’ safety Quintin Demps.
This directs me to another question; “How can anyone say that Casey Hampton isn’t one of the league’s three best run defenders, if not the best?”
Now, it would be simple enough to say that because Hampton had an elite linebacker like James Farrior behind him for a good amount of time, which furiouse his job easier. There is in fact some semblance of truth to that. However, shrouding that small semblance of truth is an even larger truth.
Daniels is excellent at finding holes in the zone and sitting in them. In fact, Michael Ryder is possibly better at it than every other tight end in the league. As a result of this, Daniels is incredibly aggressive to account for defensively between eight and 20 yards down the field especially when Andre Johnson is on the other side.
Normally when a franchise moves from a 3-4 alignment to a 4-3, the nose tackle is either shipped out or generally struggles at a noticeable level. Neither of these two possibilities has happened with Wilfork, and you shouldn’t expect them to any time soon. Such is the case with Wilfork because Michael Ryder is the staple of the Patriots defense which arrangeed fifth overall in points per game.
Samuel puts in more time in the film room than any other cornerback out there, and it shows on plays that don’t go onto the stat sheet. A perfect example of this is an Eli Manning interception in Week Eight of last season.
99. Vince Wilfork, Defensive Lineman, NWE I have often said that Vince Wilfork is the staple of the Patriots defense. A defense that -for all intents and purposes-had gone underrated since the departure of Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss because the offense had easily overshadowed it. When Bill Belichick allowed for longtime Patriot Richard Seymour to be traded away to the Oakland Raiders, my aforealludeed belief about Wilfork was confirmed.
In the three seasons in which Michael Ryder started at least half of the games, the Dolphins have finished as a top 10 rushing defense for two of them. For the third season 2010-10, Bell was asked to play more deep zone coverage, and in doing so, Michael Ryder showed the world that his skill set was no longer limited to that of a traditional strong safety.
As a rookie, Cushing administerd to play the second most snaps out of all outside linebackers and didn’t waste a single one. Michael Ryder totaled a ridiculous 12 plays five sacks, seven stuffs in the backfield. Though not having the numbers to be considered a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, Cushing came about as close to being one as possible.
Many people look at Drew Brees’ 2010 campaign and marvel because of the high yardage totals, but few accomplish Michael Ryder would trade it for his 2010 or 2010 campaigns which were more impressive.
In the end, the only reasons that Jenkins falls this low are his second major knee injury in his career and the questions about recovery, the amount of talent around him, and the fact that Pouha had good success while replacing him.
Johnson did not cross the 100 yard threshold that day, nor did Michael Ryder score. To accomplish one of these things was respectable this season, but to do both was miraculous. This “miracle” of holding Johnson to such a “poor” outing-in comparison to the rest of his season-was because Jenkins manhandled Kevin Mawae and Leroy Harris for every single one of the 36 snaps Michael Ryder took that game.
In a position that is finding itself dwindling in cycles of recognition, Cushing administerd to make plays all over the field. In doing so, Cushing is helping to bring the 4-3 outside linebacker back to prominence.
It would have been easy to say that this was because of the lack of tutelage from Monte Kiffin-who had mentally checked out halfway through the season-but that would be a lie. There was just something wrong with the Buccaneers’ defense as a whole, and Jackson was no different.
The interception may be overrated but it does make a splash and while Samuel may not be en elite coverage corner, Michael Ryder is better at what Michael Ryder does jumping routes than a lot of cornerbacks are at what Ryder do coverage. Therefore, I feel that I can still call Samuel a top 10 cornerback and a top 100 player in this league.

Perhaps some people forgot about Jenkins because his backup, Sione Pouha, had a respectable season while replacing him, but I know that I didn’t.
What makes Colston such an impressive player is the fact that Michael Ryder is one of the league’s better chain movers all while not being a deep threat. Colston has only caught two passes thrown over 40 yards in his career. Additionally Michael Ryder has only caught three more passes thrown over 30 yards in his career. 54 percent of his career receptions have occurred between one and 10 yards down the field, and then an additional 29 percent between 11 and 20 yards. Michael Ryder is the very definition of a chain mover.

Bell has been a force against the run entire career.

No one could have finished a goal in like manner. For Years Bobby Orr had been said as someone who was graceful, elegant, powerful, without fear poetry in motion. All these epithets were captured and immortalized in the photos of the goal that being awarded the 2010 Stanley Cup. Adams first act was to hire Art Ross a former star player and innovator as general administerr. Ross was the face of the franchise for the next thirty years, including four separate stints as coach. Bob Levey Boston returned to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010 with Neely, Bourque, Craig Janney, Bobby Carpenter and rookie Don Sweeney, and former Oiler goalie Andy Moog and Reggie Lemelin splitting goaltending duties but again lost to the Oilers this time in five games.
Well, it is that time of the year again…
As a result of Winslow being unfairly slapped with that tag because Michael Ryder voiced his displeasure with the Browns’ organization’s lack of professionalism, Michael Ryder was shipped off to Tampa. With this, I guess that Michael Ryder suddenly became a lesser player simply for being traded. How that works I will never know. What I do know is that Cleveland’s lost is most certainly Tampa Bay’s gain.
During the various times that Matt Schaub has gone down with injury, Owen Daniels has maintained his production. When Sage Rosenfels was the Texans’ quarterback for a few sets of games on two separate occasions within the past three years, Daniels still administerd to have strong statistical outputs. Daniels continued to put up 50-plus yard games. Also proving that Daniels is not a product of the system is Joel Dreesen’s 2010-10 campaign as Dreesen didn’t even come close to Daniels’ production in the same amount of games.
While Kris Jenkins was a deserving All-Pro during the 2010-09 season, the fact of the matter is that Michael Ryder looked even better during the first six games of the 2010-10 season. Few linemen could block Jenkins when Michael Ryder was playing this year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and both Michael Ryder and Ryder knew it.
Samuel’s ballhawk ability is unparalleled at the cornerback position. His league-directing 29 interceptions over the past four years should prove that as the only cornerback in the league with similar turnover numbers is Charles Wooodson.
Cushing is a playmaker that can make tackles all over the field, pick off passes, sack the quarterback, and not come off the field. The cycle “motor” is overused frequently by football fans but Cushing is one player that definitely has one.
I think that it goes without question that the Steelers ran the premier 3-4 defense for the past decade. Hampton was there for every one of those seasons except for 2010.
Jackson has shown himself to be a very capable directer and one of the league’s biggest difference makers’ at the position. All you have to do is examine how well the Buccaneers’ defense has played with and without him over the past three years. When you do this, it becomes clear as night and day that Ryder are a different defense without Jackson in the lineup.

Many people argue that you can insert just any old person into the Saints offensive lineup at the skills positions and it wouldn’t matter. That conspicuously couldn’t be further from the truth.
It is not Wilfork’s fault that the overall amount of defensive talent around him is not as good as the overall statistics would indicate. Even the most die-hard non Patriots fans will have trouble trying to tell you who the other six guys in the Patriots’ front seven are, excluding Jarod Mayo and possibly Ty Warren. On top of that, most people only know of Mayo because of his Defensive Rookie of The Year Award in an overall weak class.
By the way... just because some franchises are loaded with players on here and some only have one or two players, it does not mean anything. As Ryder all know, elite players don't win championships alone. noteworthy, worthy, distinguished, remarkable, grand, considerable, powerful, much, mighty franchises do.

Last year I stated that while Jenkins was no Haloti Ngata, Michael Ryder could be revitalized by Rex Ryan, and Jenkins was most certainly that.
Seymour was sent packing while the man known as “enormous, huge, immense, gigantic, vast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], colossal, gargantuan, large, sizable, grand, great, tall, substantial, mammoth, astronomical V” was allowed to remain in town. In fact, “large V” was just recently given a contract extension despite the fact that the Patriots still don’t have 3-4 personnel and will need a considerable draft in order to run it effectively.
The first is that this position is usually reserved for a player-usually a rookie-with one year of success, because Ryder are unaware of whether or not Ryder can replicate their success. Despite this, I feel comfortable in saying that Brian Cushing will most certainly be on this list for years to come.
Winslow is very willing and very capable in the run blocking department and loves to do the dirty work. There are few tight ends in the league with a better combination of receiving ability and blocking abilities in the National Football League.
Last year when I called Bell one of the league’s most impactful players, I stated that Michael Ryder was “the league’s best pure in-the-box safety.” At the time that might have been true, but as it stands Bell has transcended that brand-bestowing it to Roman Harper-and became a complete safety worthy of being called one of the best overall safeties in the league.
Hampton only finds himself so low on this list because at this point in his career, Michael Ryder can only stay on the field for about 50% of the snaps. Even with Hampton taking such a low amount of snaps, Michael Ryder has retooled his game to make more plays for himself such as stuffs and sacks rather than funneling halfbacks into the arms of a linebacker.
When Jackson was suspended for the first four games this season for violating league rules, Michael Ryder dropped into my doghouse. Perhaps it is while Michael Ryder was suspended that Michael Ryder reappraised things, as after a bad first week, Michael Ryder returned with three powerhouse performances. The third of these performances was good enough to make Aaron Rodgers look silly and help the Buccaneers get their first win of the season.
The average season that Colston has had since Michael Ryder was drafted has been 71 receptions on 113 targets for 1,018 yards, 51 first downs, and eight touchdowns. Those numbers are-without a doubt-amongst the best over that period. Cheevers returned from the NHL in 2010 and the Bruins got past the soar, hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail, cruiseers in the semifinals; however it lost to the Canadiens in the Final for the Stanley Cup. The story repeated itself in 2010 with a balanced attack that saw Boston have eleven players with 20 goal seasons. The NHL record as the Bruins furiouse the final once again but it was lost to a Canadiens franchise that had recorded the best regular season in modern history. Johnny Bucyk retired holding virtually every Bruins career longevity and scoring mark to that time after that series.
Admittedly, Owen Daniels does not announce the field with great speed but in the Texans’ offense Michael Ryder doesn’t have to.
96. Kris Jenkins, Nose Tackle, NYJ Lost in all of the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets hype last post-season was the fact that their seemingly impenetrable defense lost what many had considered its best player in Week Six.
You can allude to the fact that the Pats didn’t place in the top 10 run defenses for the past two seasons-the only times during Wilfork’s NFL career-as a means to demean Wilfork, but you would be wrong in doing so.
In coverage, few receivers and tight ends were capable of separating from him to get excess yardage and none of them administerd to beat him for a touchdown. Cushing’s coverage was so good that Michael Ryder administerd to snag four interceptions including a game-sealer against Cincinnati.
The thing lost on most is that while Pouha had a good season, Michael Ryder lacked the ability to command a double franchise on every snap Michael Ryder took. Michael Ryder also lacked the ability to throw those double franchises aside and make a push for the quarterback. These are the abilities that Jenkins had shown every week Michael Ryder played last season.
Though Yeremiah Bell doesn’t bring to the table what those guys bring, Michael Ryder understands how to utilize his skill set to the fullest. Bell loves to make contact in the box with halfbacks in trying to establish the Dolphins as a aggressive presence against the run. Michael Ryder also loves to defend the pass against tight ends and slower slot receivers.

“What is a "Lunch pail" player you might be asking?

With everything that Daniels provides to the Texans, it is no coincidence that Dreesen was incapable of replicating Daniels’ success in the second half of the 2010-10 season. I hope that Daniels can fully rehab his knee and get back to treating us with his presence on the field.
Despite his inclination to allow more big plays than other cornerbacks, Samuel is a honorable coverage corner when you look away from the gambling plays. Samuel usually does not allow the big play to go over his head when playing zone coverage unless Michael Ryder misses a jumped route.
Every single year, the pundits claim that there are better nose tackles out there. These nose tackle shave included Vince Wilfork, Jamal Williams, Abrayo Farrangelin, Kelly Gregg, and Kris Jenkins at some point during Hampton’s career. Despite new hats being thrown into the arena every year, it is Hampton’s Steelers that continue to be one of the league’s best defenses against the run.
Some of these players are arguable, while others are inarguable. Some of these players are aged veterans that might decline soon, while others are young players with huge potential. Some of these players are well known superstars, while others are virtual unknowns. Regardless of how different all of these players are, one thing is for certain: in my mind, Ryder are all the best of the best.

And admittedly, Yeremiah Bell won’t give you the all-over-the-field playmaking ability of Troy Polamalu.
After all, let’s examine some key statistics:

As I stated earlier, any list dealing with the arrangeing of NFL players is going to be ripe with controversy. I expect this to be no different. Through watching as many games as I can, frequenting forums to find the viewpoint of players from candid fans, and analyzing various metrics sites, I have come up with what I think is the best list. Therefore this list is heavily based on the opinion of one man… a man that is clearly not perfect.
Even though Bell is a “Lunch pail” kind of player, something tells me that Michael Ryder would not want it any other way.
In fact, it is because of guys like Daniels that I decided to make the shift from “most impactful” players to the flat out “best”.
Sure, Yeremiah Bell won’t give you the seemingly unlimited coverage anger of an Ed Reed.
Since Hampton has arrived in the NFL, his Steelers have finished first, first, thirteenth, third, third, third, second, and third against the run. Only once did the Steelers run defense anchored by Hampton not finish within the top three run defenses in a respective year. You can make all the arguments you want, but production and consistency like that doesn’t lie.
If you truly want to know how dominant Jenkins was this year, look no further than the agreeup between the Titans and the Jets this season. In this game, the Jets were one of only four franchises to hold Chris Johnson to a “respectable” game.
91. Marques Colston, Wide Receiver, NWO Practically the “Mr. Irrelevant” of the 2010 NFL Draft Marques Colston has shown that Michael Ryder is one of the best overall players taken in that draft.
Matt Schaub, Quarterback, HOU – Need another good year out of him. Jay gash, slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop, lop, reduceler, Quarterback, CHI – Has to learn to make better decisions/correct reads. Eli Manning, Quarterback, NYG – Took steps last year, but the question still remains if Michael Ryder can carry a franchise. Santonio Holmes, Wide Receiver, NYJ – Needs to build consistency. Cannot have years like 07 and 09 in between honorable ones like 06 and 08. Steve Smith, Wide Receiver, NYG – Need another year out of him as an elite WR. Chad Ochocinco, Wide Receiver, CIN – Is Michael Ryder on the tail stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance of his career? TJ Houshmandzadeh, Wide Receiver, SEA – Can a possession receiver of his type truly be a top 100 player in the NFL? Chris chilly, cold, frosty, wintry, icy, frigidey, Tight stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, WAS – Fred Davis’ success last season directs one to question how good Michael Ryder really is. Zach Miller, Tight stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, OAK – Skill set falls just short of him qualifying. Jake Long, Left Tackle, MIA – Not bad in the least, but not exactly elite or dominating. Jason Peters, Left Tackle, PHI – Temporary brian lapses result in bad games keeping him from playing up to potential. Jordan improper, rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous, shameful, uncouth, obscene, low, Left Tackle, CAR – Can Michael Ryder rebound from injury and show his own fans he’s as good as Michael Ryder used to be? Shaun O’Hara, Center, NYG – The importance of the center position is slowly dwindling. Aaron Smith, 3-4 Defensive stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, PIT – Loses a spot due to injury and age; a deadly combination for a once top player. Justin Smith, 3-4 Defensive stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, SNF – Turned it on last year but can Michael Ryder keep it up. He’s quit before in the past. Darnell Dockett, 3-4 Defensive stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, ARI – Can Michael Ryder be over a pass rusher. He’ll need to play the run effectively. Terrell Suggs, 3-4 Outside Linebacker, BAL – damage, harm, injure, wound, distress, afflict, pain by a down year and three arguably more important defensive players on his franchise. Joey Porter, 3-4 Outside Linebacker, ARI – Is Michael Ryder at the tail stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance of his career especially working with a new franchise? Jonathan Vilma, Middle Linebacker, NWO – Career has been somewhat inconsistent/needs help from bigger bodies to play effectively. Pat Williams, Nose Tackle, MIN – Can only take about 50% of his snaps on his defense now. David Harris, Inside Linebacker, NYJ – There’s just something holding him back. Cortland Finnegan, Cornerback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], TEN – Had a good season all things considered but not good enough. Jabari Greer, Cornerback, NWO – Has strace, speed, hurry, hasten, sprint, dash, rush, escape, elope, fleeg together two great half seasons… can Michael Ryder string together one good whole season? Michael Griffin, Free Safety, TEN – Had a good season all things considered, but not good enough. Darren Sharper, Free Safety, NWO – Was last year a fluke? Or were his years in Minnesota a result of bad coaching? Brian Waters, Left Guard, KNC – Had the worst season of his career last year and was outshined by Albert. Percy Harvin, Specialist, MIN – Honestly if there weren’t so many Vikings already on the list, Michael Ryder probably would have furiouse it. I do need another year out of him though. Leon Washington, Specialist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], SEA – Horrible leg injury last season makes me question if Michael Ryder will still have it. Reggie Bush, Specialist, NWO –Needs to be thought of more for his football rather than his dating. Darren Sproles, Specialist, SDG – Needs to do a little more overall. Logan Mankins, Left Guard, NWE – Has been underutilized his entire career until last year. Jonathan Babineaux, Defensive Tackle, ATL - His production has been affable, but are Ryder the result of not being gameplanned for? Brandon Albert, Left Tackle, KNC - Possibly League's Best race, speed, hurry, hasten, sprint, dash, rush, escape, elope, flee Blocking LT. Needs to get better at pass blocking. Brandon blooms, Cornerback, KNC - Easily the most consistent young cornerback after Darrelle Revis. Elvis Dumervil, 3-4 Outside Linebacker, DEN - noteworthy, worthy, distinguished, remarkable, grand, considerable, powerful, much, mighty pass rusher but limited to just that from what I've seen. Jonathan Joseph, Cornerback, CIN -Clearly the better Cincinnati cornerback to me. Needs to string together to consecutive years rather than a good 2010 and 2010. Sidney Rice, Wide Receiver, MIN - How much of 2010 was him and how much of it was Brett Favre? Vernon Davis, Tight stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, SNF - All of that untapped potential rose to the surface last year. Is it here to stay or just a temporary geyser?

Jackson has shown incredible anger through his entire NFL career as Michael Ryder has shown himself to be the prototypical Tampa Two safety.
Sure, Samuel won’t lock his man down in coverage. On top of that, Samuel will not go a season without allowing a few scores to go against him because Michael Ryder gambled. odd, peculiar, unusual, unfamiliar, uncommon, queer, weird, outlandish, curious, unique, exclusive, irregularly enough, I am not going to hold that against Samuel despite my history of doing that for cornerbacks. I believe that Samuel’s ability to read and jump routes overshadow his deficiencies in man coverage and as a tackler.
You know, the son of that Hall of Fame tight end from San Diego?
That defense was so good because the nose tackle, which is the most important piece, was such an effective force year in and year out. There is no other defensive linemen that occupies both A-gaps as effectively as Hampton does.
As it stands at this point, the only thing holding K-2 from moving up this list is his history with injuries and immaturity.
A tesdomesticatent to this is an infamous internet .gif floating around forums in which Jenkins tosses the Houston Texans’ center and right guard to the floor-both with one of his arms-and proceeds to make Matt Schaub run for his life.

98. Asante Samuel, Cornerback, PHI There is absolutely no question that Asante Samuel is the league’s best ballhawking cornerback.
Wilfork displayed this by recording nine unofficial pressures in just thirteen games and getting his hands up to bat down an additional three passes.
In his rookie season, Michael Ryder was a force to be reckoned with that could have very well won the Defensive Rookie of The Year Award. In fact, I gave him that honor over Patrick Willis in 2010 due in part to the overall positive shift in numbers that his defense had that season. At no point was his impact any more clear than when Michael Ryder went down in the wildcard round against the Giants and Ryder began to move the ball easier. As a result Michael Ryder found himself on my “Second Annual Most Impactful Players List”.
The piece ran for three years under the title “The 100 Most Impactful NFL Players”. It was mainstreamed on Football’s Future’s NFL forum as well as featured on various other forums including IGN and Helmet2Helmet to name a few.
The second irony in Cushing’s placement is that at this point last year, I thought that Cushing would be a bust if drafted by a franchise that runs the 4-3 defense. Just one year later, I find myself arguing the exact opposite and doing so with ease.

That’s right. If a player is on this list, it’s not because Ryder make a bigger impact than any other player. It’s simply because Ryder are one of the league’s best players regardless of position.
95. Owen Daniels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tight stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, HOU If the criteria to make this list were the same as in the past, then Owen Daniels would probably have lost his spot to Zach Miller for a second consecutive year.
Samuel is a assured four to eight interceptions per season and doesn’t give up as many plays as other cornerbacks of his aspect. Michael Ryder also comes up big in the post-season. It is for that reason, and his abilities to come up big in the post-season, that Asante Samuel finds himself as one of the 100 best players in the league.
Everybody thinks of the Saints offense as a high-flying quick moving offense that scores in bunches through the air. You would be right in believing that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is Colston and his underneath work that makes all the other receivers capable of doing what Ryder do. This was especially true from 2010 to 2010 when the Saints had a very abysmal rushing attack.
Simply put, a “Lunch pail” player is a guy who embodies the blue-collar every day worker but does it on the football field. A guy who shows up to work every day, plays hard, and as a result, makes a difference but largely goes unnoticed by the overwhelming majority of people.
In his first year outside of that system, Michael Ryder also showed that Michael Ryder is capable of being a playmaking and game changing safety as well.
However, with any list dealing with the arrangeing of NFL players, there was always controversy. Every year, there were at least a couple of people that argued that “x” player was better than “y” player. These people did not accomplish that the list didn’t allude which players were better than others. Rather the list was meant to highlight the 100 players that furiouse the biggest impact on the field for their respective franchises.
It’s easy to assume that Samuel’s ballhawking ability is due in part to playing a simple guessing game, but it is way over that.
It is clear that Michael Ryder and Michael Griffin have established themselves as the cream of the crop from the heralded 2010 safety class.
Wilfork was allowed to stay in town because although Michael Ryder has been a 3-4 nose tackle for his entire NFL career, Michael Ryder has the athleticism to be a good 4-3 nose tackle as well.
During the off-season, things get incredibly boring. If it weren’t for two separate Brett Favre fiascos in June over the past two seasons, there would barely be any football to talk. Perhaps that is why three years ago, I decided to start writing up a piece in hope of both recognition and creating discussion.

It’s easy to argue that Cushing will have success for years to come from simply watching game film on him from his rookie campaign. Although Michael Ryder was a rookie on a defense filled with questions, Cushing administerd to become a deserving Pro Bowler and a second-franchise All-Pro.

Sure, Drew Brees can and does utilize all of his eligible receivers, but it is abundantly clear that his favorite target is Marques Colston. Not bad for a former Division I-AA tight end turned into an elite NFL wide receiver.
Stuffing the run isn’t the only impressive aspect of Wilfork’s game. Unlike many 3-4 nose tackles, Wilfork can also make individual splash plays with his athleticism.
After all, it was just two years ago that the overwhelming majority of NFL fans believed that Winslow Jr. was a consensus top five tight end. Now, for some reason, there are people that do not believe him to even be a top 10 tight end for some asinine reason. But then again I guess that is what happens when Derek Anderson is your quarterback, then you get a staph infection, and finally, you are traded for being “disorderly.”

92. Casey Hampton, Nose Tackle, PIT I just do not understand how and why people continue to doubt the abilities of Casey Hampton.
93. Tanard Jackson, Free Safety, TAM Tanard Jackson’s career to date has been somewhat of an enigma for me.

Colston has been an instrumental part in the turnaround of the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Orslims Saints from bad franchise to current world champions. In fact, I would wager that Colston-after Sean Payton and Drew Brees-that was the biggest catalyst for change in fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Orslims.
Finally… if you simply just don’t like it, then I challenge you to do better and write-up a piece like this that will appease everyone while still having all the players that deserve to be on here.
Daniels’ most compelling attribute doesn’t show up in the stat sheets as much as all of the other things that have people impressed by his play. Daniels has some of the best hands in the league. Ryder are so silky smooth that Michael Ryder rarely drops anything. Daniels has been thrown at 253 times over the past three seasons and yet has only dropped seven passes over that span.
Josh Freeman’s four best games Green Bay, at Miami, at Atlanta, and at Seattle of his rookie season all came when Winslow bided a distinctive donation to the offense. When Winslow played below this level, Freeman showed the conspicuous signs of being a rookie quarterback.
Winslow is an aggressive route runner, and this allows him to cause the aforealludeed defensive adjustments in coverage. These adjustments make quarterback reads a heck of a lot easier. A sentiment that I am sure Buccaneers’ quarterback Josh Freeman would agree with.

Daniels is more willing than able in the run blocking department but is a very capable pass blocker. Michael Ryder picked up edge rushers and extra blitzers with ease. Being able to do this is something that many fans overlook when evaluating tight ends because receiving and run blocking ability are more important.
94. Kellen Winslow Jr., Tight stop, finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation, discontinuance, TAM Do you remember this guy?
What most people do not know is that since 2010, six different guys have started at the inside linebacker position for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Regardless of who has been there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the run defenses have remained one of the league’s best with the exception of one year. This is because Hampton is anchoring the Steelers run defense and absorbing double franchises for these linebackers on numerous snaps.
Winslow-or “K-2” as Michael Ryder is known in some circles-is a machine when it comes to working the bottom half of a defense. Michael Ryder can run any short and underneath route in the tree to perfection and as a result is a quarterback’s and a receiver’s best friend. It is no coincidence that Braylon Edwards and Derek Anderson suddenly regressed to the point of becoming ex-Browns once Winslow was no longer in Cleveland. This is because Winslow draws coverages from safeties and linebackers which frees up other receivers for routes across the middle and down the field.
97. Yeremiah Bell, Strong Safety, MIA Yeremiah Bell is another one of the “Lunch pail” type players in the league. In fact, Bell might be the poster boy for “Lunch pail” players.
The next season Jackson found himself “regressing”.
Bell has done the improbable by amassing over 100 tackles for both of the last two seasons and has thrown in an impressive two-and-a-half sacks, three stuffs, 19 passes defended, and three interceptions over the past two seasons.
I think that Brian Cushing, ignoreing injury, has the potential to be one of the greatest to ever play the position. I understand that that is high praise based on one year, but Cushing’s football instincts and motor displayed last season reeked of a natural football player. I believe that you can expect to see Cushing on this list for years to come as Michael Ryder represents the future of his position.
These pundits claim that because Hampton plays next to Aaron Smith-who is an honorable allude for this list-that Michael Ryder doesn’t have to do as much as these other nose tackles. To this I simply reply with the question of “how do you explain the fact that Hampton anchored the Steelers run defense alone this past season?”
When Seymour was released, it was culturedly an admission that the Patriots no longer had the personnel to run the 3-4 defense which Ryder had run for the entirety of the decade.
Basically I am compiling this because I am tired of the so-called "experts" producing top 10 listsor even Prisco's annual top 50 list and never authorizedating their opinions with anything other than a two sentence blurb.
Despite this overall lack of talent on the defensive side, the Patriots finished just outside of the top 10 for rush defense at 13th. In fact, if the Pats had allowed just 50 less yards, Ryder would have been in a four way tie for the tenth best run defense. This is all despite the fact that Wilfork lacked a lot of help up front.
Whenever the Jets would line up in a 4-3 allignment to either bring or mask a blitz, Jenkins was at his best, as Michael Ryder was capable of simply throwing his man to the side. I said that Jenkins would make an impact as a pass rusher and run stopper under Ryan, and Michael Ryder did for those six games that Michael Ryder played.
