I can't chose who I like more. I was kinda down on Avril earlier in the season, but maybe just because Bennett was tearing it up. Now they are both making huge plays and doing wonders for the pass rush, something that we desperately needed to improve on from last season. I love Michael Bennett's attitude and love for the game. He's a machine and constantly works against his blocker to get to the QB any way he can. He'll crawl 5 yards to get the sack if he has to. He also has the edge on Avril in run defense. On the other hand, Avril is doing exactly what he was brought in to do. The guy just knows how to get the ball out of the QB's hand (4 FF this season). His pursuit around the edge is ridiculously quick. The QB knows he's coming, but they just don't expect him to get there that fast. I've seen a couple times this season where the QB has stepped up in the pocket to avoid Avril's first pressure, only to be caught from behind and stripped of the ball seconds later. In a game where turnovers can be the key to winning, he's very valuable. He fits perfectly on this ball hawking defense and makes us that much scarier. It's amazing to see, time after time, this defense come up with huge turnovers in big situations. I would love to see these two as partners in crime for years to come. That Avril strip sack right into Bennett's hands is something I could get use to. I would love to hear your guys thoughts on their play this season.
