DAILY DEBATE: Who was our most dynamic defensive player ever?

Chris Rix

Chris Rix

Poor ******* had to play the Canes in an OB as well as regular season. 0-5 career against the Canes. In today's day and age, a mark likely never to be matched or broken.

 

[Combo]

Wouldn’t necessarily put him above the other names in this thread, but Rusty Medearis was as bad as they come for the short time he played.

Fastest first step i’ve ever seen.

Nantambu akil fentress

 

[jmiller]

Not necessarily best, but the most electric player on the defensive side of the ball.

By this criteria Nate Webster definitely belongs in the conversation.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

Shocked Dan Morgan didn’t get any love on here.

 

[Golsen82]

Meesh Powell

Jaden Harris

 

[88]

What does dynamic in this context actually mean?

Rusty Medearis. Still ****ed at the jabronie that ended his career. Cheap shot.

I met Rix, he’s actually a great guy. I remember asking him how it was playing against those Miami teams, told me he could barely sleep at night before the game, and his body felt the worse after playing Miami

 

[Bender]

Dynamic? Sean Taylor. Complete package, box safety, center half, man coverage, blitzer, literally everything.

If we take defensive player literally, you could say Devin Hester as well.

 

[Atom Atlas]

Russell Maryland.... His 1990 season was amazing... First Hurricane player to ever win the Outland trophy...

 

[Canesfan1899]

Sean Taylor

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Chris Rix

Solid answer.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Not necessarily best, but the most electric player on the defensive side of the ball.

Quite clearly, there is only one answer.

 

[RedSquare]

anyone who says a name other than "Ted Hendricks" not only has no clue what they are talking about, but needs to have their 'Canes credentials permanently revoked.

(ST26, Ray Lewis, and ER20 all deserve honorable mention, but Hendricks is the GOAT. Full stop).

 

[SJMPARMAN]

In the early days before we had talent at multiple positions, I'd say Hendricks was the best. But for us old timers a guy like Ruben Carter was not far off.

 

[scrantoncane]

Eddie Johnson was on his way if he could’ve kept his head on straight

 

[JennStrawley’sBabyDaddy]

I think there are a handful of guys you can pick for this. Even though he was a little before my time, you have to pick the guy with a trophy named after him, Ted Hendricks.

 

[TemplarCane]

I have to go with Hendricks for the senior vote, and a tie between Ed Reed and Sean Taylor for the current generation.
