Sporting News surveyed 664 players, coaches and general managers to determine our 2008 NFL awards and all-pro team.

K: Stephen Gostkowski, Patriots. He is almost a sure thing, even in bad weather.
Cool!
But I found it irritating that Kris Jenkins would make it in over Big Vince.
Jenkins: 50 Tackles, 37 solo, 3.5 sacks
Wilfork: 66 Tackles, 45 solo, 2 sacks
Not to discredit Jenkins, I think he had a monster year, but I still think Vince was better.

Jenkins over Wilfork is a joke in so many ways its not even funny. The guy played like **** over the 2nd half of the season, just couldnt man up to the position if you ask me. Monster year? go ask Jet fans what they thought about his play the last 6 to 8 games monster more like teddy bear.

Alright, monster year, was an overstatement as my anti-homer reflex kicked in. He had a hell of a better year in the Jests 3-4 than I expected, and was playing hurt those last 6 games wasn't he?

I knew he was a beast but I didn't know he's probably one of the top 5 defensive players in the entire league.
Hell... Shaun Rogers had 76 tackles, 61 total, and 4.5 sacks from the nose tackle position. That's pretty damn beastly too.

I heard and read he was playing hurt and he just wore down the later part of the season, either way his body didnt hold up to the demand of the position. I thought he was awesome last year also but hes no Vince.
Re: Gostkowski only Patriot to make SN's All-Pro team (and Jenkins over Wilfork)
Jenkins was more to the Jets than WIlfork is to the Pats. As soon as Jenkins injuried his hip, their defense fell apart.. Stats don't tell everything and as Pats fans we know that better than anyone (Richard Symour)..
Jenkins has no one else on that line to help him out.. He was doubled all year..

Up to the titans game he was a bonafide NFL DPOTY candidate, after that a bad hip, back and lack of help on his d-line lead to his play dropping off noticeably. For the first 11 games he was an unblockable force of nature.

For the last 16 games Wilfork was an unblockable force, I can go back a couple years if you want me to...
