hondo in seattle Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Good to see Kiko is leading in the unofficial PFT DROY voting, garnering 36% of the vote to Richardson's 24% (at the time of this writing). Honey Badger has 8%.

boyst Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 i don't care who wins what, but i think star lautlutleireoroallouie deserves the honor. what he has done to lead the Carolina DL is impressive and he elevates everyone elses game on that D unit.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 i don't care who wins what, but i think star lautlutleireoroallouie deserves the honor. I'm pretty sure you shorted him a vowel or two. Seriously, I know that Star had a great season however I wonder how much the NYC media effect will have on the voting.
SBUffalo Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Sheldon Richardson is the winner. Kiko is second. Star is 3rd. Edited January 2, 2014 by DStebb716
cage Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Sheldon Richardson is the winner. Kiko is second. Star is 3rd. I agree with this order. While Kiko started the year on fire, he hit the rookie wall and tailed off as the year progressed. We talked about it on this board. At Week #10 the DROY would have been Kiko. However, Richardson continued to play very well and was even involved in the offense (Refrigerator-style), scoring a TD in Week 16 in their victory over the Dolphins. We got ourselves an awesome player, but the DROY not should go to Sheldon Richardson....
billieve420 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Sheldon Richardson is the winner. Kiko is second. Star is 3rd. Agree Sheldon Richardson deserves honor guy is a stud and has played well all year. However, voters may go for flash over substance so Kiko still has a good shot. I think with his drop in play in the 2nd half he should probably be #3 after Richardson and Lotulelei.
1B4IDie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Its going to be interesting to see if this sways any AP votes away or towards Richardson. Kiko has been very humble throughout and Sheldon, well he does play for the Jests with Rex Ryan. I can see some people on the fence being swayed toward Kiko or maybe there are younger voters that like the "swag." It would have been better if Sheldon Richardson said he was the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Now that would have been chuckles in a good way. Edited January 2, 2014 by Why So Serious?
YoloinOhio Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Cordarrelle Patterson for OROY! He is good, but I think it will go to Keenan Allen. Slow start but very strong finish.

jumbalaya Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I thought Kiko's play fell off in the second half. He was never a difference maker. He was very competent however.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) He is good, but I think it will go to Keenan Allen. Slow start but very strong finish. Good choice. He was excellent during the Chargers run to the playoffs. @ProFootballTalk Cordarrelle Patterson is your NFC offensive rookie of the month http://wp.me/p14QSB-9nqA Edited January 2, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz
Al Cowlings Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I thought Kiko's play fell off in the second half. He was never a difference maker. He was very competent however. Well said

I'll go back and watch a lot of tapes this off season to make sure but I really think we changed our MO on defense to cause some chsnges
todzilla Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Good choice. He was excellent during the Chargers run to the playoffs. @ProFootballTalk Cordarrelle Patterson is your NFC offensive rookie of the month http://wp.me/p14QSB-9nqA don't forget Eddie Lacy. Dude was a stud in the 2nd half once he got healthy. He helped keep the Pack alive with Rodgers hurt.
SBUffalo Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I think Kiko could've been more consistent at the OLB spot. If we can land Anthony Barr at 9 somehow then put him in the middle. Shayne Skov could be an option, as well. Barr's biggest tool is his pass rushing ability, though, so it might be a waste to put him on the inside. But if he can translate the tendency to shed blockers from rushing the passer to stopping the runner than this defense would instantly be substantially better. I think a stud MLB would complete this defense. don't forget Eddie Lacy. Dude was a stud in the 2nd half once he got healthy. He helped keep the Pack alive with Rodgers hurt. I love Allen, but I think lacy has it locked up. Edited January 2, 2014 by DStebb716
