Trent Cole is a big time pass rusher. He might be as good as Ware. Not the athlete Ware is, but he's a damn good pass rusher.

1. DeMarcus Ware
2. Jared Allen
3. Dwight Freeney
4. Trent Cole
5. Osi Umenyiora

I refuse to include whitey until he backs up this performance next year.

John Abraham, huh? I didn't even have him on my next 5, which were Mario Williams, James Harrison, Umenyiora, Dumervil and someone else.

I just checked. Ware has 18 more sacks in the same amount of years. So you have to give him the nod over Cole.

But Cole is a very underrated pass rusher. Most people don't include him with the elite rush guys.

I changed it to Freeney. I'd have Abraham in my next 5. He gets great pressure without much help. Whereas a guy like Harrison could be a product of that great pressure defense.

IMO, the three most athletic pass rushers in the game are Ware, Freeney and Abraham.

Ha. I was afraid of overrating him since we see him twice a year.

I thought Orakpo was going to bust out this year, but that could be the Redskins new defensive scheme just holding him back.

Osi Umenyiora has 8 sacks and 7 forced fumbles this year.

Ware has 9.5 sacks and 1 forced fumble.

He's got 8.5 sacks this year. 1 less than Ware.

Interesting. He's done that very quietly then. Orakpo doesn't get a lot of media attention, but he's a beast. Might be what Lavar Arrington should've.

If I could start a team today, he'd be on my short list of pass rushers.

Surprised that Philadelphia nor San Diego has won a Super Bowl in the last ten years. I expect them to win at least one in the next 5.
