Most Indispensable Offensive and Defensive Players (NFL.com)

[DFWJC]

Just for weekend entertainment, Adam Schein lists his 9 most indispensable players on both offensive and defense,.
This does not necessarily mean the best, just the most indispensable.

Note: It purposefully excludes QBs for obvious reasons, as they are by far the most valuable position today's game....so the entire offensive list would be just QB list, according to Schein.

3 WRs on his list and a couple of notable absences.

Well he did say most indispensable, not most talented. I'm assuming you're referring to Dez. I could see someone thinking that an elite quarterback with an elite offensive line could help to mitigate the loss of a Cowboys offense without Dez. I don't agree, but I can understand the logic if that's the case.

Adrian Peterson

yet they won 7 games without him, how many would they have won with him, 8? 9?

Rob Gronkowski

Didn't they go to the AFC CCG without him like 2 years ago?

Julio Jones
Joe Thomas

Hard to say anyone on a team that won a combined 10 and 11 games respectively the last 2 seasons is indispensable

Odell Beckham

Likely belongs on the list, but it's hard to say after 12 games played

Le'Veon Bell
Jamaal Charles
A.J. Green
Marshawn Lynch

actually agree with these

Ndamukong Suh

Hard to say with him being on a new team that he is indispensable, no real basis of comparison

J.J. Watt
Luke Kuechly

Justin Houston

Good choices here

Muhammad Wilkerson

With Sheldon Richardson and Leonard Williams, I don't see Wilkerson even re-upping with the Jets. Really food player, but far from indispensable.

Fletcher Cox
Von Miller
Earl Thomas

Pretty good choices, but Earl Thomas should be higher than these 2 and likely Houston as well

Terrell Suggs

...Elvis Dummervil is better at this point in their careers.

I know, just how I usually quote when I have several points to make
