We all love the way Bates played in the playoffs, but how do you show up on a list of top 100 when you admittedly mail in your effort for half season? Meanwhile, Reader seems to put forth max effort every play, generally with damned fine results.

Excellent point.  I just commented in another thread that the additional prime time games this season should get a lot of these guys more national attention.  

This defense is not this defense without Reader.  He was a HUGE part of the Tennesse win.  Love that guy.  The team seems to love him as well, and it seemed JJ Watt was most upset when he wasn't signed back by Houston.
