Well, at least we know Dan Banks voted for Bob

Bob Sanders damn well better win Defensive Players of the Year. Between the Pro Bowl disaster (12 Cowboys, including Roy Williams- Are you kidding me?) and Belichick winning Coach of the Year I don't think I can stomach seeing someone like Albert Haynesworth winning an award for most dominant NFL defender.

Thankfully, at least one writer got it right this season:

What a display of pass pressure put on by the Seahawks' front seven. Collins was sacked three times and either hit or hurried more than 20 times. Seahawks defensive end Patrick Kerney help set the tone of Seattle's defense, and while I voted for Indy safety Bob Sanders for the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award, Kerney deserved some serious consideration for that honor with his NFC-best 14½ sacks.

Thanks Don. You made the right choice, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a pathetic Colts homer. Well yes, actually I am saying that because I'm a homer, but the choice was still solid none the less.

Bob...

I don't see how anyone could vote for anyone other than Bob. Yeah other guys had great years but Bob is Bob and anyone in the nfl will say how important he is and how good he is.

I know they mentioned during the snf game about how the titans run D was bad without haynesworth for the 3 games...well all one needs to do to see Bob's impact is look at last regular season without him then see the playoffs and this season. It's clear he has a gigantic impact and that is what a DPOY should be.

If Bob was on any other team I'd think the exact same way. Just so happens the Colts have him. :)

Seriously...

Roy Williams being on the probowl roster???
I thought, sure, it has to be somekind of a mistake.

Alternate

He's replacing someone else. Though I was thinking Tanard Jackson ( or whatever) from Tampa Bay who is a rookie who came in this season and played lights out on a Top 5 ranked defense. But he suffered from two curses, one the Colts know well(small market curse), and one the Colts remember(low ratings curse). Colts, Cowboys, Patriots, and Super Big Market Teams are what keep the league going, but the Colts get to wallow in season after season of net losses from sell-out crowds while the Redskins clear a huge profit with losing seasons.
