Is Rick Venturi Doing A Better Job With The Defense?

To answer lumm0x: It\'s more problematic to define a great defensive player than a great offensive player. RBs can easily be evaluated by yards and TDs. How about a great corner who simply takes the best receiver of a team out of the game week-in and week-out because QBs are afraid to throw anywhere he might get his hands on the ball? How about a great defensive lineman who gets double-teamed on every play and still manages to collapse the pocket on some plays?
They may end with 0 tackles and they still were a force.
So team success, Pro Bowl spots and obviously a spot in Canton are ways to tell he was an elite player.
