You need your head on a swivel. There are all kinds of physical attributes that make you a good defender. They come in all shapes and sizes. If you can play good team defense, you are a good defender. Head on a swivel. Give our guys credit for their defensive skills.

                                        You keep bringing this up. While that may be an advantage - kmawv8 MU - 2/14 10:01:39

                                                                                TJ, your point is that the SEC gets to choose who plays. ok. - bornoncampus MU - 2/14 10:54:05
                                                                                     I understand the meta here. - tjwheeler UI - 2/14 11:22:24
