Willis All-Pro

kunged · 2010-01-13T10:50:54-08:00

Not sure if this is already a thread, just read Willis is has been voted to the all-pro defence and came 6th in the DPOY Charles Woodson – 241 Darren Sharper – 113 Jared Allen – 94 Elvis Dumervil – 60 Darrelle Revis – 22 Patrick Willis – 21 It seems all the positions above Wills are "glory" positions/positions where it is easier to get the "Big stats" interceptions, sacks etc. IMO Willis and Revis should have been a little higher. Just because Willis does not get sacks or that many picks, and Revis just shuts down WRs and so rarely gets the ball thrown his way

Its really about team records. If the Packers were 5-11 and the Saints had the same record it would have went to sharper.
