James Harrison is a D.P.O.Y. candidate

[Steeltreal]

Make no mistake when your looking for who's wreaking the most havoc on the team Harrison is the man.
Polamalu is the face of the D, Farrior is the voice, Timmons is the most improved, Hampton the anchor.
Every time a big play is made on Defense you can bet Harrison is almost always in the mix. Corners blitzes, inside linebackers getting sacks, they can credit #92.
With LaMarr Woodley seemingly disappearing in his contract year, his opposite is playing bigger than his 2008 Defensive MVP season.

2008 stats through 16 games

101 Tackles with 67 solo
16 sacks and 7 forced fumbles.

With the league trying to cripple to most feared outside linebacker in the game right now, Harrison continues to roll.
With 5 games to go...
he has 56 solos , 10 sacks, 2 INTs , with 6 forced fumbles
The top players with sacks. have far less tackles than Harrison does because he plays alot more coverage. The most Versatile Linebacker , pass rusher , hardest hitter. Its no wonder hes the most targeted by the refs. Only they don't award him the 100x hes been HELD on route to the QB. Protect the QB because Harrison is already a LEGEND in Black and GOLD.

dirty player of the year or defensive player of the year?

[steeldevil]

Right now he deserves the award. Because of all this bullshit going on with him though, I would bet my left nut he does not win it. No other player in the league has the amazing combination of stats that Harrison does, just like in 2008.

[Merchant]

How is he dirty?

[Doc]

Who votes on that? The writers?

[Psycho Ward 86]

dirty player of the year or defensive player of the year?

I hope he gets both! Dirtiest player is an honor, just ask Jim Rome haha.

[fansince'76]

How can that be when the dirty POS doesn't even know how to tackle correctly?

[Texasteel]

GODhell will be fining who ever put him on the list very soon.

Normally I don't really like Rome, his long pauses annoy the shit out of me, but this is a good take and all of those shots were clean.

I'm sure that he'll never win the award this year, even if his stats are far superior to everyone else.

You got it...He wiil be blackballed out.

[ALLD]

They are trying to run him out of the league. No way he wins even if saves children from a burning building and cures every disease. He is hated by most people outside of Pittsburgh because he is so good. Welcome to the club.

[The Duke]

Would love nothing more than seeing him get the DPOY award AND Superbowl MVP award, handed to him by none other than Goodell

but I'm sure a superbowl ring would be good enough too

[Galax Steeler]

Well deserved if he gets it after all the bullshit he has been through.

depends on if when he jumps out the window he leads with his helmet or goes feet first.
