Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Defensive Lineman of the Year

The defensive linemen are some of the biggest, toughest guys out on the field. They don't always get the sacks, but they're the soul of the defense. They attempt to penetrate the offensive line to bring the pressure to the quarterback. Without them, the defense would be lost. They are crucial. Here are the Mastodon nominees for 2012's best in this category:

Paul Pepin: Paul never played in an actual practice or game for the Mastodons, but we definitely know how much of a factor he would have been. He played on the Leicester Wolverines with multiple sacks and excellent blocking on the season.

Joe Cicero: Joe was an absolute beast out on the field. He had the highest amount of tackles on the season, by far, with 111. 10 of those were sacks! He was an animal, a monster! He struck fear into the hearts of his opponent. 76 of his 111 tackles were unassisted. If he had 76 tackles total, it would still be the highest on the team. To add to this, three of his tackles were for a loss and he recovered all 10 of the fumbles he forced.

Alex Lach: His numbers weren't as incredible as Joe's might have been, but the pressure that Lach put on quarterbacks was unparalleled. He had 4 sacks on 27 tackles, 9 of which were unassisted. He added a fumble recovery and a blocked field goal to the stats.
