Article compares Joey against other elite NFL defenders this year. It makes a case for him as DPOY. Obviously we would need to keep winning and he would have to keep his numbers up. I know individual accolades arent super important, but if he won DPOY it would mean we are winning games and that his free agent signing would be justified (after being called a waste of money/cap space).
Here are the others that can be consider for DPOY so far according to the article.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Joey has 27 tackles, 10.5 sacks (including safety), 3 forced fumbles, recovering 1.

I think at the very least, he might be the most feared defender in the NFL to this point. Meaning, teams really have to game plan for him now. Does this make him the best? Maybe!
Others might have more tackles then him, but his sack numbers, overall pressure, pressure in key moments, and whatever lanes he opens up for others all have to be added in! To me - sure he is, but I'm biased!
I think if he keeps this up, and doesn't really have that many games where he's invisible down the stretch, the DPOY is all his!like2god likes this. -

Its between Porter, Woodson, Ware, Haynesworth and Harrison in my opinion. Woodson is the best CB in the league right now in my opinion while Haynesworth is leading a dominating Titans defense and Ware is coming off the edge, sacking Quarterbacks. James Harrison has to be up there because he's a good player in all parts of the game.
