    VINCE WILFORK - top 3 defensive performance from Pro Football Focus

    posted at 5/17/2012 6:45 PM EDT

    Looking for a reason to re-live the Patriots' last win of the season? Go ahead. Sweep those memories of the Super Bowl under the rug, and take a trip back in time to the AFC Championship Game with the guys at Pro Football Focus. 

    They've put together a Top-10 of the best 3-4 defensive end performances of last season, and Vince Wilfork is featured near the top of the list for his other-worldly performance in the AFC title game against the Ravens.

    According to PFF, it was the third-most dominant performance of the season by a 3-4 defensive end last season. Here's what they had to say about Wilfork's game that day:

    Anyone who watched the Patriots squeak out a victory to get to the Super Bowl will have seen Vince Wilfork at his absolute best. It wasn’t just the sack and five hurries, or the three defensive stops in the run game that got Wilfork such a high rating, it was how he did it: dominating Michael Oher and Marshal Yanda like few others have. The Ravens offensive line hadn’t faced anything like that for quite some time.

    Great read....

    Hopefully Vince gets a little more help this year which should free him up
    and reduce the 2x and even 3x teams.

    The guy is a beast and we're fortunate to have him here.

    Yup, I'm still giggling whenever they list his weight too.

    Don't bother with that list (NFLP Top 100),John Kuhn is apparently one of the top 100 players in all of football...Tons of players (Wilfork, Nicks, Mangold, the list goes on) are criminally under-rated.  Regardless, Wilfork was a monster in the AFCCG, he handled the Ravens interior line from start to finish.  And PFF is a tremendous website, cuts through alot of the nonsense even if you don't agree with how they grade.

    He has aged well.  When he was younger, they had a handful of pro-bowl guys on the D-line.  He's the top man now.
