Out of the Bears, Packers, and Jets, I would take the Packers defense, even hurt. Unlike the previous, stronger total units, the Packers make plays and have great skill defensive players (Matthews, Woodson, Tremon). Patriots putting up 24 true points in 19 minutes is great. Also, I'd like to see them gather spirit and come back from a deficit more than blow teams out. That was the one thing the 2007 Pats lacked because they never learned that skill. <br /><br />McCourty has been good, but people are going to point to their 30th ranked pass defense and say no way. I wish him luck in the future though, he'll be really good. <br /><br />I am posting my rankings in a few hours, see if you agree.SportsWorldBlisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008463670323025097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634922814516750640.post-71643567020986463512010-12-21T09:42:40.220-05:002010-12-21T09:42:40.220-05:00It's an uphill battle for McCourty for sure. ...It's an uphill battle for McCourty for sure. In addition to the name recognition and fast start factors, many of the post-season ballots are already in. The NFL lets voters send in their selections weeks before the season is over, so even if McCourty just kills it for the last two games he's probably going to be on the outside looking in.<br /><br />Speaking of efficiency; the Patriots scored 31 points but had only 19 minutes of offensive possession time. I know there was a pick-6 in there, but it's still impressive.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127199317146493976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634922814516750640.post-3004278873748933252010-12-21T03:30:38.803-05:002010-12-21T03:30:38.803-05:00A couple of notes:

Its efficiency, that is for sure. <br /><br />Devin mac is going to have a hard time catching Suh for DROY. I say catch because he had name value and will probably win just based on that. Also, 28 tackles and 1.5 sacks over 7 games for a defensive tackle who is double teamed all the time is pretty good. His effect is felt on the field. Devin does have the "playing for a winning team" argument.SportsWorldBlisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008463670323025097noreply@blogger.com
