[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 675794"] It's worth noting these are rankings of "value to the team", or one might say "importance" given their role together with expected abilities, not just a ranking of "best" to worst players relative to league peers at their positions, though that clearly factors in. These are subtle but important distinctions. It's unfortunate that McGinn did not define the factors he took into account, but we can read between the lines; it seems to be a mix of expectations of how much and how well he expects each player to play together with how important it is that the guy play well and often. Martinez is important value-wise in McGinn's assessment because he expects Martinez to play up to 100% of the snaps. Obviously he expects him to be a good 3-down player. Whether that will be the case remains to be seen, but it may start out that way in an "until proven otherwise" scenario. Though McGinn did not mention it, Martinez will be calling the defense. He is also important in keeping Matthews back out on the edge. The 100% snap expectation is probably not far out of line with the coaches' given only 3 ILBs are on the roster. The fact the ILB group has been as Achilles heel in recent years would add to Martinez' importance. As for Peppers, McGinn assigns him a marginal role. In essence, he's pegged him as the #4 OLB, primarily a nickle tackle in rotation, while being lukewarm as to how he'll play at DT. Again, that's the way it may look in week 1, in which case the assessment seems fair. But a lot of things need to go right with Perry and Jones for that to be realized throughout the season. Peppers may well be the second best edge rusher on this team, but the opportunity to demonstrate that, or Perry/Jones "un-demonstrate" it as it were, may not be present in the early games. McGinn can reverse field at week 3 if Perry/Jones don't quite pan out, at which point nobody will remember this list. [/QUOTE]
