Big Problem Brewing?

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.

I would say Taylor, Griff, and M.Washington.....in that order.
