Claymaker Player of the Week

[vince]

For the third time this year, Clay Matthews has been named NFC Defenisve Player of the Week. He was also honored as the September NFC Defensive Player of the Month.

edit: He has only won the award twice so far this year. I swore he won it the first two weeks, but upon further review, he got screwed from winning the award week 1, even though he clearly deserved it.

Who does he thing he is? Charles Woodson?

When was the last time that there was a DMVP in consecutive years on the same team different players? Lets face it if CMIII can keep this up over the next 7 games he is on pace for 18 1/2 sacks...and he is a game changer.

2003 and 2004 when Ray Lewis and then Ed Reed did it for the Ravens. The Bills did it in the mid 90s and the Steelers went back to back to back with Greene, Blount, and Lambert in the 70s.

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed won the award in '03 & '04.

I'd say Matthews is the frontrunner at this point. Hopefully the hammy doesn't tweak on him again....

The Captain strongly approves!

Definitely a big year. If only Woodson was having his last year numbers with this years clay... it would be insane.

Rather than a "problem," I'd call that the makings of a good time . . .

Or.. Imagine if we had another OLB that was even half as good as Clay. That would really make our defense top notch.

Actually Woodson is starting to look more like the 2009 Woodson. He had a tough start with the penalties, but seems to have made some adjustments. The Packers D in the 2nd half of the season has a chance to be dominant.
