| | (Middle) linebacker | Explanation:
Not my game, so I'm not sure if the "middle" linebacker is specifically the "primer defensivo", so perhaps you could use just "linebacker" as there are various types of linebackers:
Types of linebackers
Depending on the system, linebackers can be designated by different names, broadly divided into "middle" or sometimes "inside" linebackers, who play behind the central part of the defensive line, and "outside" linebackers, who play further from the center. Some systems place linebackers on the same side of the field all the time, thus there can be a "left outside linebacker" and a "right outside linebacker". Other systems define a linebacker by the role he plays rather than the side of the field he plays on; a "strongside linebacker" plays on the same side of the field that the offense places their tight end (defined as the "strong" side of the field), while a "weakside linebacker" plays on the side away from the tight end (the "weak" side of the field, as it has fewer players).
[edit]Middle linebacker (MLB)
The middle linebacker, often referred to as "Mike," was invented by the Chicago Bears in the early 1950s. The middle linebacker is often referred to as the "quarterback of the defense". Often it is the middle linebacker who receives the defensive play calls from the sideline and relays that play to the rest of the team–and in the NFL he is usually the defensive player with the electronic sideline communicator. A jack-of-all-trades, the middle linebacker can be asked to blitz (though they often blitz less than the outside linebacker), cover, spy the quarterback, or even have a deep middle-of-the-field responsibility in the Tampa 2 defense. In standard defenses, middle linebackers commonly lead the team in tackles. The middle linebacker covers the "curl to flat"

7 hrs confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 the first defender
Explanation:
One option.
I would go with something like:
.... the first defender fails to make the tackle.
As the sentence explains that Victor Cruz is able to pass him.
Example sentence(s):- If he is able to elude the first defender, he often has a lot of running room on the outside and it typically leads to huge gains.
