Laurinaitis...dude just makes plays.

Eric Berry of Tennessee is the best defensive player in the country but he isn't up for the award.

Berry should have the Thorpe (top DB) locked up though.

I think in order to be nominated, you should have to play both ways. :specnatz:

I know he's not on the list, but Rennie Curran (LB, Georgia) has impressed the hell out of me. Not only is he built like a brick ****house, the dude's playing lights out.

Heck, his fellow LB Dannell Ellerbe is very good too.
