According to the Patriots, Reiss, Rappaport, and Price.

I've never been as down on him as others and while there are other players who may be more deserving, it is a great honor for him. Congrats 36!

a shock. i thought he played fine, tho Chung had a MUCH better game. (Sanders Pick 6 was a direct results of a great play by Chung for example)

no idea what goes into such an award, seems shaky.

in any case, i am happy for 36. he's a solid Patriot!

Wow, I've always liked Sanders seems like he took a step back after 07 though. I guess a pick six was enough.

How odd would it be if he also gets fined for the hit on Hines Ward?

So is this the first ever POW award given for sending a key opponent to the sidelines early?

Sanders did play well, but as others have noted Chung was the key to the secondary -- and the key to the pick six. I guess it makes sense, though, if you just think of it as "The Patriots' defense clearly played the defensive game of the week, so let's choose the guy who scored for them to represent that."

That sounds about right--and the hit on Ward probably helped as well. Who votes on these things, anyway?

These awards are hard to figure. Remember when Chung got hosed on the Special Teams award after the Dolphins game?

Anyway -- watch BB sit Sanders for three games now.

So, the voters are to try to find the "key" element in the defense rather than the try to assess which player who produced the most? I agree that Chung is the difference maker on our defense. Thagt is not a reason to make him DPOY when the defense does well. The process isn't that sophisicated.

Personally, I don't see why we can't simply congratulate Sanders on his fine performance.

Oh yeah, I remember why. Most fans here think that he should have been cut and still want to replace sit him or him.

Seriously. Sanders is a very good player for us and probably has a lot to do with Chung's intellectual development in the system. I thought he had a very good game, personally, beyond the pick-six.

I'm curious to see if he gets fined or not. I sort of hope he does (not that I'm for his financial loss) only because I think that will send an interesting message to defensive players. I don't think it was a flagrant hit, but it was exactly what they claim isn't allowed.
