Cooper. Can move up and hit hard. Also great at sliding showing his man the outside and using his pace to shut it down.

Definately not Mark Gasnier ... Dead set Gasnier would love to line up against himself in a game ...

Cooper and Bowman would be the best defensive backs in the game ... Trent can pull off a decent hit from 5/8 .. (insert joke about pulling off a hit from behind here)

For wingers Sing would be up there .. Naiqama looks like he will develop into a fine defensive player too ... ElMasri is a decent defensive winger too .. reads the game brilliantly and knows when to rush in to shut a play down.

Clinton Schifcofske or Matty Sing IMO
they both read the play superbly, they know how to play each situation and give themselves the best option of shutting down the attack. Both have a high percentage of effectiveness too
