London Fletcher: 2008 Defensive MVP Canidate

I was talking to my roommate ealier today and as of right now the NFC probowl is gonna be like 50-75% from the NFC East.

since 1971

Annual NFL Awards - NFL Defensive Player of the Year (http://football.about.com/od/nflhistory/a/nflawardsdpy.htm)Oh, I was wondering if there was a stipulation that defensive players are ineligible for the NFL MVP award. I didn't know, since it goes to an offensive player every year.

As well as London is playing I find it hard to believe that he's never made all pro. He made some great plays today that kept the Eagles in check. Maybe he'll make defensive player of the week because he deserves it. I'm not counting it, though.

When we were down 14 and the iggles were on the move, it was London who stopped them and changed the game. If we go down 21 there, it's a tough hole to get out of. Huge plays. ANd then he just shutdown Westbrook for the rest of the game.

He's the coach on the field. Don't know if we can crown anyone with any awards this early, but certainly been playing at an all-pro pace. Keep it up, London!!!!

5'10 is his height but his heart is like 7'5 Yao Ming

I'd hate to see what our D would be like without Fletcher.

Gotta give some props to H.B. Blades too, filling in for Marcus Washington.

Absolutely, that's the second big last minute start for Blades.

I remember about four or five years ago ESPN sportscenter did a tv interview with Takeo Spikes when he and Fletch played together in Buffalo. They asked him about his career and what he attributed his success to. It seems all he could talk about was London Fletcher. TKO said that he wouldn't be anything if it weren't for Fletch and that basically he was the best player that people didn't know about.

The Pro Bowl has become the running joke of the league. Most football fans watch a quarter of these games and then turn it off. It's really no different from the Emmy's or Oscar's in that great unsung talent gets snubbed all the time. With all that in consideration, I hope that Fletch does get the nod this year simply for the fact that he's earned the overdue accolades and I know it's a personal goal of his.

Blades is going to be a very nice player for us. Let's give Vinny some props for getting this guy in the later rounds last year. But Fletcher was just all over the field hounding Westbrook. He gets my vote.

I like Greg Williams because he's responsible for London Fletcher being a Redskin. But I never wanted Williams to become the head coach. Besides, Blatche is doing a better job than Williams did with basically the same personnel.
