There is a difference in being ELITE at what you do, and being a playmaker.
Reader and Hendrickson are ELITE IMO. They are some of the best at their positions. Because of the position they play, I think they can only effect the game so much.
Playmakers are guys that can change games. Vontez Burfict was a playmaker. Maybe not the best at his position overall, but he made plays during games that were absolutely game changing. I would categorize Jessie Bates (from the past couple years, not this year) as a play maker. Same with a guy like Troy Polamalu and Marlon Humphry.
This defense currently doesn't really have that guy. I thought Logan Wilson was going to be that guy, but he has faded the past couple games.
We need a balll hawking, turnover making, playmaker on this defense. Someone needs to step the hell up or we need to go find a guy like this.
