Because the football/basketball offseason is long, hot, and boring, I'm going to post a stupid poll or two every Thursday or Friday.
So, Who is the most dynamic defensive playmaker of the Snyder-Prince-Snyder era? By "most dynamic defensive player", I don't necessarily mean "best defensive player", though there is likely a high correlation between the two concepts. By dynamic, I mean explosive, exciting, clutch, and likely to make the big play; a game changer.
Because there have been so many dynamic defensive play makers, I'm letting you vote for up to two players if you just can't decide on one.
Apologies to fans of Jerametrius Butler, Dyshod Carter, Tim Colston, Ty Zimmerman, Mario Smith, and Josh Buhl. I would like to have included these guys and others, but spots are limited. If you want to vote for any of those players or others not mentioned, please choose "Other" and name the player in a reply.
Please don't vote for guys who primarily made their mark on special teams. That poll is coming next week.
Also, in case it isn't clear, this poll is for guys who played for Bill Snyder and Ron Prince only.
