Who has been the best player on the Defense this year up to this point?

Kylon Griffin said that he thought it was A. Terrell. I tend to agree and I'm not sure if there has been a close 2nd. He's been that good and reliable. My top 3 are as follows:

1. AV
2. Woodaz
3a. RJ Mickens
3b. D. Capehart

Terrell is a good choice!

I left off Carter mostly because he still misses way too many tackles. It was a big issue for him last year as well, but he has improved some in that area. Your inside LBs should be some of your surest tacklers. He still misses far more than you'd like though.

Capehart only has 144 snaps, good for 13th on defense.

Hard to rate him that highly given the low snap count.

I think Woods is a difference maker as well and would be higher on my list had he played more.

They rotate a lot of guys on the DLine, but I think Cuddy's been the most impactful. He played great against UGA and he's the biggest reason why teams mostly run outside on us and not inside. WF ran the ball well against us right up until the time Capehart put their Center on his backside early in the 2nd quarter. After that, their running game completely evaporated.

At this point why isn't he an every-down starter???

With all the mega-hype around his recruitment and the nearly-silent years since, isn't it about time for him to be dominating all of the DL players for playing time and playmaking stats? He's a red-shirt junior, right???

Woods is the best but I would say Terrell has been the MVP this season so far followed by Carter

Woods when he's actually played

Unfortunately, that hasn't been too much. Aside from him I would probably say Terrell.

Definitely Wade. He aligns the defenses and makes checks when needed. Always around the ball. Helps in pass game and run game.

I'd pick the tandem of Carter and Woodaz. Carter has played below expectations, but his expectations were sky high. Woodaz has played better than projected and is about at the level of Carter right now. In my opinion Terrell is also a good pick. I don't see any other DB in the same ballpark as Terrell, though. Maybe pair him up with Barnes and that would be close to the Carter/Woodaz tandem, although Barnes has underperformed from last year. Maybe the second half of the year Woods and Capehart can pair up to be the great linemen we will need going forward. Parker has been a bit of a disappointment so far. Last year he was impressive. I guess if I had to pick, I would go with Terrell.
