probably the right guy for that title. he changes a game as much from that position as anyone ive seen. big albert was the leading candidate for defensive player of the year, but i think the injuries he has had will make sanders the fav.

He's unreal when he plays. But it's tough to pay a guy that much , when he misses games each season.

wins the defensive player of the year

i know you're excited man!! hope the colts pull it out, ive got some fam in the organization. should be a good game.

Defintley one of the top safeties in the league. . . fits the tampa 2 also very well

He was sick in college at Iowa, Mike Doss (OHIO ST) was getting all the attention at the time, but i know Bobby Sanders was better.

well scouts seemed to agree, sanders was drafted higher than doss was.

Sanders' return for the playoffs last year was the biggest reason the Colts' run defense toughened and sparked their SB run. They can't pay him too much, IMO.

agreed, munson.

[Time is Money]

missed half the games of his 3 year career before this season

hope injuries are behind him but its hard to dish out money to someone who misses so much and with his style of play and intensity, its no wonder he gets hurt often

He may be the best player in the NFL when healthy.

That's a bold statement if I ever seen one. . .

very bold. especially considering the actual best player in the NFL is on the same team.

I did say 'may' plus I'm not even an Indy fan. He's just such a game changer. He is the heart and soul of that defense, not Freeney. The guy just makes plays every game.

not many defensive players impact a game like he does. what he did for that team last year was the stuff that creates a legend.

[Louisvillekid1]

Freeney makes him better by attacking up the field forcing the play back into Bobby S

[stump]

Colts are a much different defensive team when he is on the field
