I really do not care if he wins DROTY this year. Just as long as he lays some big hits out, stuffs the run, and does well in coverage (well, better than Seau and Bruschi did last year) then I will be satisfied. You can't really expect too much out of a rookie in New England's defensive system.

Nice that Vernon Ghoulston is rated with longer odds.

That might have something to do with the team he's on, along with the fact some are calling him overrated. We won't know anything for sure until the playing starts. But I do trust the Vegas odds guys more then I do the talking heads, the Vegas guys get paid for being right, if that was the case for the talking heads, most of them would be out of a job.

Antoine Cason is my choice for DROTY - I just think he may be a surprise and possibly more ready for the pros than the ones mentioned - Just a hunch from what I have seen of him in his last year.

I want him to care, I want him to be absolutely focused on winning that award. Nothing bad will come from focus like that.
