October 29, 200817 yr comment_50582 Coach- Jeff Fisher, Titans (Mike Smith, Falcons) I would have to go w/ Smith. Atlanta was not supposed to win 4 games all year, much less in their first 7. What Tenn is doing is awesome, and he gets bonus cred for keeping Young on the pine. If he were to go 16-0, then he might trump Smith. Short of that, I just have to give Smith the nod. Defensive POY- Albert Haynesworth, Titans (Justin Tuck, Giants) I like the thinking. There are some other players w/ better or slightly better stats, but while their individual play has been solid, it has not appears to elevate the play of their units as much as w/ Albert and Tuck. Also tend to agree on the nod to Albert, as he is so good against the run, while also being so disruptive v the pass. Offensive POY- Drew Brees, Saints (Clinton Portis, Redskins) I think I would have to go w/ Portis over Brees. Brees has been exceptional, and done it w/ his top weapons hurt, but the team is only .500, and while he is well ahead in yards, other QBs are looking as good or better. Rivers, for example, has 19 TDs to 6 picks, while Brees has 15-7. Portis meanwhile, leads the league in rushing (about 250 more yards than the next guy) and scoring, w/ a sick 5 ypc. Also, Wash is looking dang good w/ a 6-2 record in a very good division. MVP- Drew Brees, Saints (runner-up: Clinton Portis, Redskins) Still going w/ Portis. See above. Offensive ROY- Chris Johnson, Titans (runner-up: Matt Forte, Bears) Right now, I think it is between CJ and Ryan. Ryan likely gets the nod, as it is simply far harder for a rookie QB to do well compared to a RB. Further, Ryan is doing more w/ less. I know how much Bear fans want to put Forte in this mix, but he is no longer even top 10 in rushing, and has a weak 3.5 ypc. Yes, I know about his total yards, but still, unless he starts becoming more effective running the ball, it isn't going to happen. Defensive ROY- Chris Horton, Redskins (runner-up: Curtis Lofton, Falcons) I would say Mayo is 2nd, but agreed on Horton. Thoughts? Yours? Report
October 29, 200817 yr comment_50613 I think you're quite spot on... Coach - I'd go with Fisher Def POY - I'd slao go with Hayesworth...he looks to have redeemed himself after jolly stomping that (Raider?) a few years back Offensive POY - Brees easily... MVP - Brees as well here... Offensive ROY - I'd go with Matt Ryan. QB's get the props...and I think he deserves it. I like Johnson though...he's a close 2nd. Defensive ROY - I'd say Horton too...
