Defensive Player of the Year
1. Albert Haynesworth, DT, Titans (4): Haynesworth is the most dominant player at his position, and his two-sack effort led a Titans' pass rush that constantly harassed David Garrard in the pocket.
2. James Harrison, OLB, Steelers (NR): The underappreciated Pro Bowl defender picked up where he left off a season ago with a three-sack performance against the Texans.
3. Mario Williams, DE, Texans (2): Although his two-sack effort was not enough to engineer an upset over the Steelers, it was the seventh time in the past eight games that Williams has registered at least one sack.
4. Marcus Stroud, DT, Bills (NR): He spearheaded a dominant defensive effort by the Bills. Though his stat line (six tackles and a half sack) doesn't jump off the page, he was an integral part of a pass rush that produced five sacks in a surprising rout of the 'Hawks.
Coach of the Year
1. Dick Jauron, Bills (NR): After overachieving a season ago on the way to a 7-9 record, the Bills opened the season with a dominant performance against a perennial playoff team, the Seahawks. Though few predicted a playoff berth for this young team, it appears poised to make a run at the division title.
I have never really liked this guy so i take this with a grain of salt (along with the fact that it is only week 2), just thought it was worth posting.
