Requesting your assistance for All Pro voting
One of the coolest things we do each year is participate in the Associated Press All Pro voting. To us, it's the most prestigious of all the post-season all-star teams (including the Pro Bowl), and we're honored to be a part of it. (BBiB!, we're sorry for the frequent third-person references.)
We also vote on the following individual awards, and would like to see what you think. If you have any preferences, fire away:
Most Valuable Player
Comeback Player of the Year
Defensive Rookie of the Year
Offensive Rookie of the Year
Defensive Player of the Year
Offensive Player of the Year
Coach of the Year
(Please note: The AP has asked us not to reveal our votes until they're announced, and we will continue to abide by that request.)

mvp: albert haynesworth
comeback player of the year: chad pennington/John abraham
d rookie: leodis mckelvin
o rookie: matt ryan
D of the year: demarcus ware
O of the year: michael turner
Coach of the year: tom coughlin
MVP: Peyton Manning
Comeback: Chad Pennington
Defensive Rookie: Vernon Gholston (haha, sorry Jet fans) ... Jerod Mayo
Offensive Rookie (in order): 1. Matt Ryan 2. Matt Forte 3. Joe Flacco (honorable mention: Steve Slaton, Chris Johnson, John Carlson, Jonathan Stewart) ... wow, that's some group, but Ryan should win by a wide margin.
Def. Player of the Year: Joey Porter
Off. Player of the Year: Michael Turner (Adrian Peterson's fumbles hurt him)
Coach of the Year: Mike Smith
MVP: Peyton Manning. What is it, four victories after trailing by more than 13 points? Dungy will probably get him to 4000+ yards, 25+ TDs and a 2-1 TD/INT ratio.
Comeback Player: Joey Porter. Improving by 12+ sacks over last season. Amazing.
Def. Rookie: Fellow left coaster Dwight Lowery. 5 forced fumbles(4th in NFL) and 16 passes defensed(Top 20 NFL).
Off. Rookie:Matt Ryan
Def. Player: DeMarcus Ware. 20+ sacks without getting six in a game...yet.
Off. Player: Maybe Drew Brees if he beats Marino's record. Otherwise, DeAngelo Williams for his 20+ TDs with two 4 rushing TD games highlighting his 5.4 yards per carry in a RBBC(Running Back By Comittee). No fumbles.
Coach of the Year: Tony Sparano. Who would you rather have? Pennington or Ryan? Turner or Brown? Roddy White or Ted Ginn? Atlanta had more press, but Miami was 1-15 with a worse roster in a tougher division.
Most Valuable Player - Brandon Jacobs. You see what the Giants are without him (Eagles & Cowboys games from a few weeks ago.) And look how they, especially D. Ward bounced back with Jacobs in the lineup.
Comeback Player of the Year - Pennington. Matt Cassel (?)
Defensive Rookie of the Year - Cali Pete made a good case for Lowery, so it's between Dwight and Jerrod Mayo
Offensive Rookie of the Year - Matt Ryan fo' sho'
Defensive Player of the Year - I would've said Jenkins but he fell off. Maybe Ware... Maybe Haynesworth...
Offensive Player of the Year - Jacobs or Michael Turner.
Coach of the Year - Coughlin. John Fox. Tomlin.
**Do not, under any circumstances, vote for Kurt Warner. that team won the division by default.
Most Valuable Player: It was Warner but I think he lost it now. No one had a great great year but I think Peyton has to get the nod at this point.
Comeback Player of the Year: Warner could have gotten it even though he had a very good season this year. He came back to his greatness. But then he stopped. I think this award was meant for Chad Pennington.
Offensive Rookie of the Year Forte
Offensive Player of the Year Brees
MVP Eli
Comback Chad Pennington
Defensive player of the Year tie Joey porter and Albert Haynesworth
Offensive Player of the year has to be Drew Brees I suppose.
Offensive Rookie of the year-Matt Ryan
Coach of the Year--Jeff Fisher because I think position by position
that team sux. No WRs. No QB, mediocre RBs. Great defensive team.
