Devin McCourty AFC Defensive Player of the Month (September)

[SBLIII]

Same player as always, different circumstances. Appreciate it.

down years in 11 and 17 but otherwise consistently good.

The "Trade Mccourty" folks, feel free to check in.

I think they may be too busy "resigning" AB

Such a great move to shift him from CB to S. He’s proven to be a great player when he can watch the ball and play develop.

I well remember the discussions about whether Devin McCourty was the right draft pick over Dez Bryant. I've always been a McCourty fan; his play and personality have been a great fit with the Patriots.

Congrats.
Not bad for an old guy who seriously considered retirement last off-season.

Also has been reviewed as somewhere between “sucks” and “irrelevant” many a time in these parts.

Happy to see him get some accolades, dude has been rock solid on and off field for almost a decade.

Seem to remember last year it was time to move on from Devon as he was overpaid for what he does, but guess that talk will go away for a while now..

 

[RobertWeathers]

I don't know if he has another contract in him.

Weddle and Thomas both got pretty decent deals in their early 30s.

Maybe DMac even retires.

Unless he has a significant injury I would be shocked if he did.

Beat out Jamie Collins for it

Hard to imagine what more Collins could have done to earn it! But this is a great problem for us to have

 

[Sicilian]

In fact, the more I look at it, the more it feels like Collins got jobbed on this. Right now he's on pace for 92 tackles, 28 of them for a loss, 14 sacks, 12 Ints, and 4 touchdowns. This would be an all time great defensive season, and he wasn't even the best player on his TEAM for the month?

 

[Doctor DDS]

Amazing what a change in scheme can do for a player. DM has been a great safety for years but because the Pats style and personnel were so different he was often overlooked. Love seeing an all time great Patriots finally getting his due.

DMac and Jaime Collins have been elite so far this season.

They are both first team all pros so far this season according to PFF.

Curiously, no mention of Gilmore.
