Re: Urlacher named AP Defensive Player of the Year
I didn't really know BU's stats so i went over to espn.com and checked it out.
BU is 13th in the league in tackles w/ 122 tackles, 6 sacks, 1 ff, no int's
Jonathan Vilma has 173 tackles, 1/2 sack, 4 ff, and 1 interception
Another lb who has a great year was Mike Peterson of Jac:
132 tackles, 6 sacks, 2 ff, 3 ints
So if you are looking at stats alone, then the pick looks overrated. But as we all know, its alot about popularity.
