Clay Mathews credited with an extra sack

[3irty1]

From Rotoworld:

After further film review, the NFL has credited Packers OLB Clay Matthews with three Week 1 sacks.

He was initially credited with two. Three marks a career high for the 2009 first-round pick. Along with Mario Williams, Brian Urlacher, and LaRon Landry, Matthews was among the NFL's most dominant defenders during Week 1.

And he still didn't get DPOW for the NFC.

[HarveyWallbangers]

How could he not get DPOW?

Funny. After the game, I was thinking he had three sacks and was surprised when they said he only had two.

[Tony Oday]

Chuck Wood and CMIII share the defensive player of the year award this year!!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Clay now leads the league in sacks. As a team, we lead the league in sacks with 6. Nobody else has more than 4.
:D

[Guiness]

Mason Crosby got the special teams POW.

Adrian Wilson won the DPOW. You should be disqualified from winning it if you show up the team that drafted #1 overall the previous year...especially if they're starting a rookie QB!!! :lol:

[mraynrand]

Maybe he could give it to A.J. since after Sunday, Hawk must be missing his.

Matthews might be looked at as the greatest move Teddy ever made.

Not to choke on too much kool-aid, but I was wondering if Matthews has a legitimate chance to take it home this year. I think he'll be in the conversation at the end of the year, but having Woodson on the same team might mean they both undermine the other's effectiveness (can you really have two MVP candidates on the same team?).

EDIT: I'm not counting my eggs before they've hatched. I was just wondering theoretically. He looks to be primed for a huge year, barring the unexpected. Was there a team that's ever had two DPOYs? What are the historical odds?

The way it's looking, that could be quite possible. But signing Charles Woodson was absolutely huge.

From McCarthy's PC today:

(You listed Matthews as limited today; did he have a setback in the game?)

It’s sore. I think that is appropriate for the number of snaps that he played in the game, and not playing in live competition over four weeks. He is very sore.I sure hope the hammy isn't going to be a recurring problem...

Yeah I know. He got four weeks rest, was hoping he was over that. Without him the defense is nothing.

Are we only talking defenders? 'Cos Rodgers is still # 1 with me. Yet to think of it; TT has drafted some pretty good Packer icons - now and in the future.

Draft:
Rodgers
Jennings
Finley
Sitton
Matthews
BJ Raji
Collins
maybe Bulaga, Jackson & Neal soon as well!

FA:
Pickett
Chuck
Tramon
Kuhn
maybe Chillar & even my man ZOMBO!

Trades:
Grant

...but Clay was our team defense last sunday? :wink:

48 SACKS IT IS THEN :)

Good one. My take:

"Clay Mathews credited with an extra sack"

Does he have any balls in it?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Actually, I thought a bunch of guys played well--at least until Mike Vick started running around and gassing them out. Clay only had half our sacks.
:D

Other defenders who had good games = Raji, Pickett, Williams, Barnett, Woodson, Jenkins all played well

Actually, at this rate Clay will have 50 sacks. If he continues to get 2 per game and then averages about 1 every 5 days he isn't playing . . .

[Lurker64]

I remember in a season of Madden '96 on the Sega Genesis I once got 72 sacks for LeRoy Butler in a season.

[Pugger]

I'm stealing this line from another forum but someone said "Matthews is so good he got a sack on Wednesday!" :lol:

I hope everyone can get used to this, because Matthews will be on the top of that list all year. :tup:

saw a great quote over at PFT in response to the game this week-end. Some posters were panning Edwards, and this was the reply.


Come on now. Really? Trent spend the whole game running from #52. At least he lasted the game, unlike Kolb last week.

Clay is planting so many quarterbacks the field is starting to look like his own personal garden.

:lol:

Apparently Gailey has decided to start Fitzpatrick next week.

At his current pace, CM3 will break the NFL sack record against Brett Favre in week 7. :P

[Cheesehead Craig]

Maybe Brett will lay down for Clay like he did Strahan?
