Who Should Be Defensive Player Of The Year?

I'm going to say Antonio Cromartie..It will be a tighter race then in passed voting but he was soo damn good after he got his chance to start. Kind of wonder why he was ever sitting on the bench watching!!!!! Cromartie in 8 Games started and played in 16 had 10 INTs. He was also a SPT monster.

 

Bob Sanders, no one else completely turns around there teams defense like he does, without him the Colts would be forced to scoring 35+ to win.

 

Bob Sanders is the best Safety in the NFL. I love your pick alot but Cromartie came out of no where to dominate QBs.

 

Patrick Willis...homer pick

 

classic- i likey.. but he can stick with the Defensive rookie of the year and go for the nfl defensive player of the year in 2008

 

Noway Nolan is staying and I'm sure he will screw that up for him somehow. Willis...Lee you are both cut for not consistently sucking like the rest of the team. :hmm:

 

:rollinglaugh:

 

Sanders. Even with Cromarties INT's he didn't control a game like Sanders could. Sanders makes all the difference on the Colts D.

 

Willis definitely deserves to be mentioned. I don't think he'll get it but still a huge impact for your rookie year. Cromartie is deserving to but I'll go with Sanders, he makes a huge difference for that team when he's on the field.

 

1a. - Cromartie! 10 INT's speaks for itself, not to mention he's only playing in his Second season.

1.b - DeMarcus Ware! 14 Sacks and 84 Tackles. One could compare this season of his to Shawne (Steroids) Merriman's of last season where he won the Defensive player of the year.

 

I like what Roy31 said, Demarcus Ware should get a look in at this one, 14 sacks for a Linebacker (all be it in a 3-4 and he's built like a DE) is something to shout about.

 

Bob Sanders, without a doubt.

 

weeeee it's a Mario ,
Williams!
14 sacks with 3 in Primetime.

:Money:

 

most of the time, these awards come from winning teams... i just don't see that happening in houston... sorry.

 

What...no love for Albert Haynesworth? I know, I know...that damn hammy killed his shot. But didn't his absence and the Titans subsequent nosedive show he truly was the defensive MVP?

 

Could be anyone

Here's a list of people I'd be happy seeing as DPoY:

Bob Sanders
DeMarcus Ware
Barrett Ruud
Roy Williams

There are more, but these should be the four finalists

By the way, Merriman so should've won it last year.

 

well at the end the only winners will be the pats .....so heck dem boys on all y'alls list then.It'a a Mario !

 

Stats look great on paper but Sanders controlled games and he made the right plays at the right time..and after last night's game with the Packers and Seahawks..I can see a little Bob Sanders in Atari Bigby..as long as he improves his pass coverage, he could possibly be a DPOY in the future

 

Every time ive seen the Chargers play on TV over here, Cromartie makes a big play. I really like him, but i think Bob Sanders is more important to the Colts than Cromartie is to the Chargers.

 

i think bob sanders he is playing his best football right now
