I really haven't heard or seen about any dominating play from him this year with the Skins either...(I'm biased though, I am an Eagles fan  ) Best middle linebacker in the league is Ray Lewis, no doubt about it. He's the best defense player in general without much doubt either.

Ray Lewis is the best ML in the league...but I don't really like him
Trotter was the backbone of an already-strong Philly defense...you think the Eagles would have lost to a team like the Jaguars with Trotter clogging up the middle, putting pressure on the QB, sniffing out the screens and tackling people with some much force it hurts to get up afterwards? No, they wouldn't have. The Eagles D is still good...just not as good as it was last year.
Now he's on a weak Redskins defense (besides Arrington and Bailey) and can't truly show his skill. I mean look at Corey Dillan. If he had been on a good team the past 5 years he could easily be the best back in the league right now.
as for Urlacher...he still ownz all of you...perfect mixture of strength and speed...I saw him chase down Ahman Green on monday night like a friggin freight train...and he leads the league in tackles
1. Ray Lewis
2. Brian Urlacher
3. Takeo Spikes
4. Jeremiah Trotter
