Give me somebody who you think is a lot better then he gets credit for here.

I mentioned it in the Kellen Winslow thread but I think its Anthony McCoy. Dude was beasting in run blocking this year and was also much more consistent in catching the ball than he's been in past years. If Miller were to go down I actually think McCoy would be a very good #1 tight end.

I also have a feeling that Michael Robinson is a much more important player then many of us realize. We love him for The Real Rob Report, but I have a feeling he's one of the most important leaders we have and he's turned into a very, very good fullback.

Miller, been blocking his ass off for the last couple of years, playoffs come and he's lighting it up. Everyone seemed to forget he was a pro bowler. That and he's one tough SOB, if anyone has ever had a foot injury like his that was just a pull you know how painful that was, to have it torn I can't imagine and he was playing and running routes with it.

I think Sherman is. I know, he's one of the most popular and talked about guys here, but hear me out.

We talk about him because of his mouth, because of what he says, adding "but he backs it up with his play."

Here's the thing, though. He's a real shut-down corner. One of the very best in the league, if not the best this year. He is absolute money no matter who he's matched up against. Even against Atlanta's touted receivers, he gave up two passes out of eight or ten thrown his way, and on one of those he slipped. He's always hyped up for the game, even when everyone else is down or quiet or not as energized as they should be. He's always upbeat and positive, and that is contagious to the rest of the team.

He's far more than a loud mouthed player. He's the anchor of this defense.

McQuistan...he's not flashy. Doesn't jump off the screen but he's just all-around solid. Plus, Cable just said he's the glue that holds that line together.

It's Zach Miller and it's not even close IMO. He is a guy that is still young (just turned 27 in December), was a Pro Bowler in Oakland with 3 seasons catching 60+ balls, and is like another OT out there blocking. He has tremendous hands and does all the "little things" to help the team win ball games. Plus, he's obviously a tough SOB willing to put himself on the line for the good of the team. He was criminally underutilized in his first season here due to the problems in pass blocking we had but he never complained. I hope he's a Seahawk for 10 more years. He's the type of glue guy that every great team needs. He's reliable and can be counted on. In short, he can be our Jay Novacek or Brent Jones.

I also gotta give some love to Trufant. He's definatly not what he once was (and its probably time to move on from him) but he's not nearly as bad as most on this board make him out to be.

Maybe not underrated, as he did go to the ProBowl, but maybe not appreciated enough or given enough credit or discussed often

Mike Rob FB, has been very beneficial for helping to clear a path and limit initial contact in clearing lanes for BeastMode, and for what he provides

on the ST unit, and lastly for his leadership and motivational speeches

Never hear much about Okung really (which is probably a good thing so maybe he's not underrated?) but I remember really wondering if he was going to be injury prone his whole career, however he's quietly had a great season with barely showing up on any injury reports that I know of.

Miller may have been a good choice a couple weeks ago, but with his work in the playoffs, people have come around.

Its Anthony McCoy IMO. He was much improved over last year cutting down his drops big time. Happy to have him opposite Miller, a great TE duo that can both block and receive.

While Miller and MRob are deserving, just going by this board, I'd say Moffitt. The guy gets ragged on constantly, but he still performs.

On ST, I'd say Lane.
