Forgot about that one for NE.  Yeah returns for TD's usually will win the ST award.  I'm guessing the guy in Atlanta won ST in NFC for his kickoff return too.

Cool!! He really had a great game.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Keep playing at this level and he is first team All-Pro. TJ Watt is listed as a LB and has name recognition even if inured this year. He plays OLB in Pittsburgh's 3-4 base even though in most nickel defenses he has his hand in the ground as a DE I beleive.  Is there another OLB playing at the level Milano is?

They need to let blitz Milano more often. He had a sack on one rush and drew a hold on another.

Did anyone else feel just a little bit of deja vu on Milano’s sack and think back to the Houston playoff game? Milano certainly made sure this time Brisett was going nowhere 

All I remember from that game is the back-up officials interfering with the game and taking a touchdown away from us.

YES.  Wrapped up instead of trying to bump him down.

This is great but how did pff grade him?

[Bad Things]

Well deserved.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

If he can stay healthy all season - huge if - he’s first team AP.

He would deserve it but there's no way it happens.  He doesn't have enough interceptions or sacks.  The lazy sports media just looks at those two stats.

His strength is also his weakness.  He plays with such reckless abandon with regards to his body that I've always had concerns with how long he can hold up physically with that style.   

Madden would've loved him....

Milano blitzes more often than tremaine and has hit home at a way higher percentage 

 

tremaine is best patrolling the middle and making QBs afraid to throw there … Milano has blitzed at a high effectiveness and stops the run at a huge rate … leading the nfl in run stops
