That's a non-issue if I ever did hear one. Lavar knows his place. Taylor IS the most important player on the D. His range allows Williams to run CB blitzes - with both CBs blitzing. The second and third most important players on the D are Shawn Springs and Walt Harris because without their man coverage skills no blitzes would be able to happen.
Next you're talking about Cornelius Griffin and Marcus Washington being the next most important players for their run-stuffing abilities.
Lavar starts entering the equation after you talk about all the other guys. He's a talented player no doubt, but Williams showed exactly how much Lavar is needed in this defensive scheme last year: hardly needed at all.
Lavar adds the big-play ability for turnovers, but he's not the key cog he once was.
