NFL First Quarter Awards

Bryan Scott DPOTY.

31st in yardage, but first in interceptions.

Packers defense isnt "among the worst in the league" but its definitely not the same unit last years. Clay Matthews has one sack but he also leads the team in quarterback hits. teams have figured out Capers defense and are beating the blitz. the picks come from raw instinct: Woodson isnt as fast as he used to be, and he basically doesnt even play corner anymore, hes something of a safety/linebacker who uses his brain to make the plays his feet (and the rest of the atrocious DBs) cant. Rodgers can basically be credited with the interceptions too because the offense is so explosive that teams have to pass to keep up (thats the only reason Carolina lost, they tried to pass to keep up).

I feel like GB will level out to an average defense by seasons end, but they arent playing anything like they did last year. Woodson is no DPOY anymore, but he is definitely still the heart and soul of the defense and without him they would be AWFUL.

Kerrigan still living off that great play from week one? Von Miller has been impressive all season long and gotten better every week. He'll run away with DROY by the end of the season.

Agree completely, Miller is all over the field and will be a much better player than Kerrigan. I watched Kerrigan last week and he might as well have not been playing. Miller has been a force.

Either Von Miller or Mason Foster for Defensive Rookie.

It has to go to Calvin Johnson on offense. I don't care how good Aaron Rodgers is, when you're on pace for 32 touchdowns and turn Matt Stafford from a good QB to an MVP candidate, you deserve to be MVP.

Isnt Green Bays defense one of the worst in the league?

The D is struggling now, especially since Nick Collins injury.

 

Morgan Burnett: 33 Tackles, 3 INT, 1 FF, 1 Sack.

[G-men]

Ok, Chris Houston, on another 4-0 football team. 20 tackles, 6 more than Woodson. 3 INTs and a TD, plus he has 2 more Pass Def. than Woodson...and 48 more INT return yards to boot. And Detroits defense is ranked way higher.

LOL at considering Chris Houston just because of one play.

And IMO Rodgers is the MVP but Calvin Johnson is the OPOTY.
