Sully was (if I remember correctly) the highest rated Center in 2012. He is in control of the line calls, making him even more valuable. Would you like to support your statement, or is Fusco better just because you decided it was a fact?

Is it bad that I didn't even know that Teddy won the award already?

Regardless, it's time to add another Viking to the list, and the second defensive player.

Looks like Fuller is the only Defensive guy to win so far. Hopefully Barr can get it and not have it be Watkins two weeks in a row. Barr has a good chance at defensive rookie of the year with the way he has been playing.

I haven't seen any of the Raider games yet this season, but it sounds like Khalil Mack has been playing like a football god so far.

He's been impressive lately. Beastly, even, at times.

I'll say.
Mack “gained the respect of everybody on our team,” Cleveland quarterback Brian Hoyer said. “That guy is one of the best players we’ve gone against this year, and that’s a unanimous decision in that locker room.”
Raiders’ Khalil Mack, Benson Mayowa play well in loss

I know Mack is playing well, but he still hasn't recorded a sack. That is a tad surprising considering he had almost 30 in his career at Buffalo. I guess if you are stuffing runs and pushing opponents into the back field that makes up for it though hahaha.

I liked Mosely and Mack more then Barr. And a few others. I didn't think Barr spent as much time as a LB, to know how to cover, stop the run, and rush the QB. He has surprised me.

I was not sold on Mack at all as a pass rusher. I much preferred Barr. It sounds like both of them are doing well overall though, so I might have to eat some crow on my Mack analysis. I'm not quite willing to concede that though as I haven't seen him play for myself.

Barr wins Defensive Player of the Week and is in good company.
