Lol that list is beyond bunk. Arthur moats? Josh byrnes? Lol.
I'll admit I forgot about kill Alonso as he plays in a media wasteland and Sean Lee as he is hurt at the moment. Those two are definitely up there. But I would still take kuechly right now. Dude is the best defensive player/captain on arguably the best defense. I'm not saying he is heads and shoulders above our guys. But this season he is slightly ahead IMO.

Bowman has 80 solo tackles and Willis has 51 in 9 games. Kuechly has 59 solo tackles, same with Alonso.
Karlos Dansby is having an amazing season if you want to compare stats. He has 16 passes defensed 4 sacks and leads the league in solo tackles.
That doesn't mean he's better than Willis or Bowman. Scheme is a huge part of the equation.

Honestly I think it has to do with him actually playing linebacker now instead of pass rush. Most times he's setting the edge making sure he doesn't crash on the fakes and i saw him lined up in the slot in coverage as well.

Did they have him playing the slot on a couple play, or something? It wasn't even a wide-9, he was out pretty far.

yes he was playing actual coverage, not wide 9 technique actually lined up with the slot receiver.

I saw him drop back into coverage maybe once against Seattle. Now he did line up against the slot a few times but often moved back to the Dline to rush the passer before the play started.
I personally never want to see Aldon in coverage, I dont trust him at all.

Aldon hasnt been missing, he just isnt getting the sack. He had 4 hurries on sunday and made a key stop. If you look at Navorro's sack on Russell, Aldon was gunning him down the whole way.

he didn't go to the line he had a zone area to protect. he stayed out and the linemen came to him, it was a run anyway but he wasn't near the line of scrimmage the entire play
