    I may be biased, but in no way can you compare Vilma performance with Dunta. Dunta was the target from day 1 and has stepped up to the challenge.

    Vilma has a pretty good line in front of him.

    Not winning it will make him hungrier next year.

    Sucks for Dunta. Vilma did have a very good year so this isn't a total disappointment.

    Dunta will be a Pro Bowler next year. The only reason he wouldn't is because opposing teams won't be throwing to his side of the field, therefore limiting his opportunities for big time stats.

    The furor over the awarding of these meaningless awards amuse me.

    But according to who they selected this year, they take that into account for sure.

    True, but those guys also had name recognition. Dunta is still a relatively unkown outside of Houston and Columbia, SC.

    Vilma has more name recognition this year. He's been all over the press the last 4 or 5 weeks, esp w/the Jets playoff run. It's all good, Dunta is a badass

    I hope so because he deserves it. You just have to wonder because of those in the national media who still pronounce his name "dUnta" instead of "Dontay."

    i saw dunta at best buy in sugarland a couple days ago. i was so surprised at his size, hes really a small package. its so surprising because i think hes one of if not the best tackler on our team. just so much explosiveness.

    anyways, about droy, no sweat, i think hes gonna have many other accolades in the future, not to mention the many trips to hawaii he'll be making.

    I wish I could go back and find it in the draft threads where I called Vilma being a pimp ass stud. Everyone called him overrated but I thought he would tear it up. Too bad I'm lazy.

    But I'm NOT. DO you remember what the thread was about? I have a knack for searching useless stuff, so I may be able to find it... I just need to know if you remember anything on the title or at around what time it was... or similar threads around the time...

    And yes, I agree, Dunta should have won. The guy is straight sick.

    Vilma may have the bigger name because he went to the bigger school (Miami) and plays in NY but Dunta should have won this hands down. IMO he will be the best defensive player in the 2004 draft.

    Vilma is good, but was not the contributor Dunta was...I lot has to do with the program he came out of, the team he's on being in the playoffs, etc...

    Anyway, glad we have Dunta...Great corner for years to come...Now we need a pass rusher...
