Input Urgently Needed From Dr. Y
Dr. X posts this from the Film Room at San Jose State:
"Dr. Z's All-Pro picks are out. They are thoughtful, well-informed, and carefully assembled. Dr. Z fears no man - in his book, Brian Urlacher is the second-best middle linebacker in the NFL, after Zack Thomas. I have no doubt Dr. Z would say it to Urlacher's face.
"But they are utterly offensive to Seahawks fans. Here we are, one of eight teams left playing the NFL, and NO ONE on the team is the best in the league at his position? Not one Seahawk can be considered a premier player?
"There are four Chargers on the list. Three Ravens. Even two Broncos. But not a Seahawk in sight.
"Dr. Z only mentions two Seahawks in the article - fullback Matt Strong (like him, "but he's aging") and Walter Jones ("He's getting older and his pass blocking is not what it once was, but, oddly enough, his drive blocking picked up this season. Nevertheless he graded No. 3."). Pro Bowl linebackers Tatupu and Peterson didn't even rate a mention.
"The Seahawk I'd nominate as most effective at his position is kicker Josh Brown. 25-31, and made four game winning kicks, including two of 50 yards or more. But he's not even going to the Pro Bowl."

I agree with his analysis. He's right that Walter Jones pass blocking has been considerably worse this season. Before last year's Giants game, nobody had beaten him for a sack in his career; now, it seems like once a game.
My only disagreement is with his dismissing Mack Strong because "he's aging." He certainly hasn't been playing like he's aging.
As for the rest, the only one who come close is Julian Peterson, who pales in comparison to (doping cheat) Shawne Merriman.
