Official - no surprise - Cush is D-ROY

[Nconroe]

I supported the pick from the start, however, wow, this guy is a dominator, way better than I expected as well.

Isn't there something refreshing about a football player who has NUTS on the field for a change?

And from Steph's blog:

check out this writeup from Football Outsiders:

(Ed. Note: To update the defensive stats from earlier in the year, Cushing was part of 18.5 percent of Houston defensive plays, second behind Patrick Willis. He led the league with 38 Defeats, while Willis was second with 33 Defeats. 38 Defeats is the most any player has had since Ray Lewis had 39 in 2003.)

It's hard to describe how strong that is. Defeats is a measure that goes beyond tackles. It looks at playmaking. "Defeats" is defined: "The total number of plays by a defensive player that prevent the offense from gaining first down yardage on third or fourth down, stop the offense behind the line of scrimmage, or result in a turnover."
