TheBigMac tops the return charts of the first two weeks of ELTP, is he the best defender in the world right now?

TheBigMac in his first season of Majors definitely made an impression so far. He even outshined his defence partner, no less than GrammarJew. Although his efforts are yet to translate to dominant success for Shamrekt Rollers. Mac's team sits in the middle of the league table after 2 losses, 1 draw, and a lone win. We can safely say out of all 4 members of Shamrekt, TheBigMac has been most impressive.

It's not hard to appreciate his wits when it comes to containing, he knows exactly when to go in for a return. As a result, he's got the best D stats in the league. Let's not mention he's got 4 captures from 4 games under his belt, adding more to his value. I want to focus on Sunday's game vs Panathinaikiss, which Shamrekt ended up drawing. TheBigMac was the clear MVB in both halves, manging a total of 41 returns in 20 minutes of game time. That number for first half was more than the rest of his team combined. Although they lost the half, the fact TheBigMac managed MVB, with 21 returns and the key capture for his team, makes it obvious his team are in desperate need of his services to even have a chance at making the play-offs!

Yes, it might be surprising and a little disappointing for Shamrekt's O to be so dependant on TheBigMac(with some great efforts by his partner GrammarJew that got them a point from the Panathinaikiss game.) but we all know Strategio and MagicPigeon count for two of the best offenders in the world, perhaps it's just a communication problem, they're not used to playing together yet. But even if that doesn't settle soon, in the meantime they'll have TheBigMac to rely on. We may as well see a return record broken at the end of the regular season. Every match TheBigMac played so far, he ended up getting most returns, what consistency!

So he has the D skills, he's playing the best he's ever been, is he really the best defender right now? That is of course up for debate, but a defender has to have some O wits, sometimes he has to think like an attacker, maybe that's the reason TheBigMac isn't on the top of the prevent charts too. If you compare Enemy hold in his games to other top defenders such as Fat and ethce, you'll find them considerably lower. I think it's because of the fact they just know where to position better, perhaps that comes with experience. I see Fat as the best defender as well as the best all-rounded player. He grabs the flag more than average, but does a splendid job keeping it. So not only can he return and block, he can juke too!

Future definitely looks bright for TheBigMac, but Shamrekt Rollers need to work more as a unit if they wanna get results. They've done well against Boostin Dynamo, but let's be honest, they could've gotten the 3 points from the Panathinaikiss game, they have to avoid wasting any more points in their road to the title.
