@Jens1893 if you can, you should go back and make these polls open to view who voted for what

 

[Jens1893]

Can't

TT, but let's hope we have more years like this in the future where there are so many good players it's hard to pick. The chido, Thompson, tupou group is hard to pick from.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

I said Chido because he was so versatile for the defense, but agree that it could have been Tupou or TT.

 

[Jeric]

Chido's the flashier option but Tedric has the numbers and game on him, in my opinion, so I went with him. Tedric was incredible post-Oregon. The other guys are deserving of consideration as well. Could argue we saw Ahkello's worth when we were without him against OSU.

 

[sackman]

Love me some Tedric. NTTAWWT.

This. Plus Chido's been my fave for 2+ years now so gotta stick w my guy.

 

[GoonieBuff]

I was having trouble deciding between 5 of them, but went for TT.

 

[patebuff]

Tedric. Guy was always making plays whether it was in coverage or the run game.

 

[Medford M.]

Witherspoon. Lights out coverage. Awuzie gets all the love. Witherspoon's coverage blew away Chido's.

I went with Chido not necessarily because of superior on the field play over Tupou or TT, but because of the leadership he provided the defense.

Same problem. These guys were so fun to watch of defense this year.

 

[somebody]

My first thought was actually Gilbert, he gave us a lot this year. But TT won out.

 

[Back-the-Buffs]

Surprised there isn't more love for KO. The guy was all over the field. Caused some big turnovers and was seemingly in on every play. It's very nice to have so many good choices here. Really can't go wrong with any.

Anyone who doesn't vote for DBT, hasn't been paying attention this year.

Just came in to make this joke 'cept for Buffsrocks. Okay...off to the Offensive Player thread.

Oh, TT BTW.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Had to go with TT, it was close for a few others.

I take pride in my defensive ability.

I can't believe you still won, even though you couldn't hang on to those bowl tickets...

 

[DBT]

I can't believe you still won, even though you couldn't hang on to those bowl tickets...

Wrong. I still have 'em.

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

Wrong. I still have 'em.

stop. you already won the award.

 

[pcbuff]

What is the number one reason the Defense spiked this year. Topou. What am I most worried about for next year. Replacing Topou. What makes s 3-4 work? Having a guy like Topou who can absorb two or three guys week after week so your Speed can fill and react without a 300 body getting in the way.

 

[ZandiBuff]

TT - 7 picks in 1 year.

 

[Buffskier]

TT..
although I can see an argument for Tupou, Spoon, Jimmy, and Chido as well.

Although BuffLuke was extremely defensive at times in 2016. Strong campaign.

Defense was the strength of the team this year. No argument.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Oh I can go back to that lol. Better not though, I'll get Tini banned.

 

[Always BUFF]

Went with KO, his coverage underneath and he was always around the ball on run plays. He was also very consistent no obvious "bad game".
