Patrick Willis - OVR 98 2. DeMarcus Ware - OVR 99 1. Darrelle Revis - OVR 99 I'm surprised Jared Allen is still considered a top 10 guy. I'd argue that everyone behind him on this list is better than him.

??? He did just have 22 sacks last season.

As I said before 6 sacks came in his 2 games against Detroit. 3.5 sacks came in one game against Chicago. As a Lions fan I have seen a lot of him but am not afraid of going against Jared Allen.

How did other individuals do against those teams??? I find it funny that you state that he had 6 sacks in 2 games againt the Lions last year, you are a Lions fan, and that you arent afraid of him.... He had 6 sacks in 2 games against them!

Where is T-sizzle? i know he was def. player of year! so how is he not higher than ware?

Don't like Jared Allen up that high. And again overall too high it seems.

An if ngata and reed are gonna be in the top ten than Suggs better at least be on the list ahead of them both (injured or not)

I agree. Revis has taken a small step back. He still generally shuts receivers down. But I remember the times when he would give up 1 catch in a game for 7 yards. Still the best corner in the league. And after Asomugha's performance last year, there's really no debate about it anymore. Hands down he's the best.

How many sacks does Allen have to get to impress everyone? Geez man who cares who he got them all against? Even if you took 5 sacks away he'd still have 17 which is right there with all the best.

Revis should deff be a 99, out of all the players in the league i think hes the best at his position

If you ask me I think Revis being the number 1 rated defender is accurate. You have to know and understand football to realize that position by position he is the best defender. If you look at a stat like sacks they can actually be overated. What Revis does is black and white, he shuts a teams receiver down. It shows on the field and in the stats after the game its one on one and really not even close.

I'm a eagles fan and Babin had more sacks than Cole but if you ask coach in the league they will tell you that cole is a better overall defensive end...sacks, stopping the run, disruptive plays, and hurries. Babin is feeding off of having teams game plan for Cole.

No way is Mario Williams on this list and T Sizzle isn't out of all the ratings released this is the worse ommission.

I love Ray Ray but thank you for not putting him in the Top 10 finally.
