Yooo, Mr. Willis,

is there any way in the world you could slow down this year?

I have been hearing that the other LB'S in the NFL would like that very much Grin

To knock down D Ryans, P Willis needs another year like last year.  Too many IDP's have 1 great year and then fall to the middle of the pack.  I do not see Willis being average though...but what Ryans has done the past few seasons makes him my #1 for 2008.

I think it goes to Willis. No disrespect to D Ryans but all I needed to see was the replay of Willis with a stump for a hand chasing down a WR or RB (cant remember) 40 yds down field to save a td last year. He is the definition of a sideline to sideline player and his intensity and physical skills elevate just slightly above the rest.

I'd say the same about Ray Lewis, but wanted to give options.

I go with Ryans -- two years of stud-dom carries more weight than Willis's one year, even though it was an amazing year.

I went with Ryans too, although the choice is very tough.

barnett is a LOT better than people give him credit for... easily the best Packers LB and a top 10 LB Stud..

having said that

Ryans has the crown until Willis repeats what he did last year... then its Willis without doubt

I actually think Beason may lose some chances once Connor gets on the field.

Willis beat Demeco once. Let's  see him do it again. Until then, DeMeco is #1 in myb ook.
