Our panel of NFL Insiders breaks down the leagues best -- and most surprising -- defenses, along with the units that will bounce back from a sluggish start to the season. Cheap Vapormax China .Are the Vikings now the leagues top defensive team?Matt Bowen, NFL writer: The Vikings continue to make quarterbacks panic, and they are wrecking offensive game plans with versatility, speed and physical play in Mike Zimmers system. After five weeks, this Vikings defense leads the NFL in opposing QBR (29.6), yards per play (4.44) and points allowed per game (12.6). Yes, the Broncos and Seahawks have nasty units. And I wouldnt want to devise game plans against those defenses. But what Ive seen on film this season tells me its the Vikings. Zimmers group is dictating the flow of the game from the jump.Dan Graziano, national NFL insider: No. I still have Denver and Seattle ahead of them on depth of talent. Both have guys at all three levels who have shown the ability to sustain this kind of performance for a full season and win championships. Nothing against what Minnesota is doing, but Im leaning toward the two teams that sit near where Minnesota sits in the statistical rankings and have more track record. White Vapormax Cheap . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Cheap Vapormax Womens . Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed. http://www.cheapvapormaxtrainers.com/ . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin was suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season on Friday after the league announced he violated the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances. Irvin will be eligible to participate in all off-season activities and preseason practices and games, but will be suspended without pay for the opening four games at Carolina, home for San Francisco and Jacksonville and at Houston. Irvin will be eligible to return to Seattles active roster on Sept. 30 following the Seahawks Week 4 game against the Texans, but only after losing a quarter of his salary for the season. Irvin, the Seahawks first-round pick in the 2012 draft, was scheduled to make $814,645 in base salary for the 2013 season. "I want to apologize to my teammates, coaches and Seahawks fans for making a mistake when I took a substance that is prohibited in the NFL without a medical exemption," Irvin said in a statement released by the team. "I am extremely disappointed in the poor judgment I showed and take full responsibility for my actions. I will not appeal the discipline and instead will focus my energy on preparing for the season so I can begin earning your trust and respect again. I look forward to contributing to the team the moment I return." Irvins loss could be a significant blow for a team that has become a popular pick to contend for a spot in the Super Bowl. Irvin was expected to start at defensive end with Chris Clemons likely to miss the start of the season while recovering from knee surgery after being injured in Seattles playoff win at Washington last January. Suddenly, Seattles focus on addressing the depth on the defensive line in free agency wont be viewed as a luxury. Seattle signed Cliff Avril, Tony McDaniel and Michael Bennett in free agency to bolster a pass russh that was inconsistent for most of the 2012 season. Fake Off White Vapormax For Sale. . Avril was the only true outside pass rusher the Seahawks signed, but all three, along with Irvin, were expected to upgrade one of the few weak spots on a rising young team. Irvin finished his rookie season with eight sacks but had just one in the final six weeks of the regular season. With Clemons out, Irvin got the start against Atlanta in the NFC playoffs and appeared overwhelmed by the Falcons offensive line while trying to be the main pass rusher on the Seahawks line. But his speed off the edge flashed at different points during his rookie season and was the big reason Seattle used the 15th overall pick on a rush end whom many pundits didnt expect to be drafted that high. Later Friday, Irvin posted a lengthy message to his Twitter account, expressing remorse for his actions. Irvin, who had a troubled upbringing in Atlanta that included a brief jail stint as a teenager, noted his efforts to rebuild his image and said the suspension is another strike against him. "I messed up and I feel so bad and have been depressed for weeks now," Irvin wrote. "Ive had sleepless nights because I knew when this came out, I would let so many people down, including myself." Irvins suspension also continues a troubling trend of Seattle players running afoul of the leagues policies on banned substances. Since 2011, five Seahawks players -- John Moffitt, Allen Barbre, Winston Guy, Brandon Browner and Irvin -- have received four-game suspensions. Barbre was later released by the team. All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman was also suspended last season for using a banned substance but won his much-publicized appeal last December. Sherman won by claiming there were errors in the chain of custody for his urine sample and that the tester made mistakes. ' ' '
