I know everyone is on the Charles Woodson bandwagon (as am I) but I'm here to post why Leon Hall should get consideration.
Leon Hall: 56 tackles, 5 INTs, 19 Pass Def, 2 FF
Charles Woodson: 61 tackles, 8 INTs, 14 Pass Def, 4 FF
OK, so looking at those numbers Woodson has a lead in everything but PDs, but that is a big category for CBs.
Looking at Leon's opponents by week, though:
1) Brandon Marshall - 4 rec, 21 yards
2) Greg Jennings - 0 rec
3) Santonio Holmes - 1 rec, 18 yards
4) Braylon Edwards - 0 rec
5) Derrick Mason - 0 rec
6) Andre Johnson - 8 rec, 135 yards
7) Devin Hester - 8 rec, 101 yards, 1 TD
8) BYE
9) Derrick Mason - 3 rec, 31 yards (13 targets!!)
10) Santonio Holmes - 7 rec, 88 yards (but 14 targets)
11) L. Murphy - 1 rec, 29 yards
12) M. Massaquoi - 1 rec, 12 yards (8 targets)
13) Calvin Johnson - 6 rec, 123 yards, 1 TD
14) Sidney Rice - 4 rec, 39 yards, 1 TD (but 9 targets)
Looking at his "bad" games, they really weren't that bad.
Week 6 - 12 tackles, 1 FF
Week 7 - 7 tackles, 2 INTs, 4 PDs
Week 13 - Was he hurt? Looking at the stats, this would have been a bad game (1 PD)
And his averages look like: 3.3 rec, 46 yards, 0.2 TDs per game. This includes three shut outs.
Looks pretty phenomenal, no?
(and yes, I realize the counter argument is "he probably didn't cover these guys every play and they do play some zone D", but given the data available, this is the best I could do)
how bout not only did he not cover these guys every play, but Jonathon Joseph covered them on most plays?!?!
Taking nothing away from Leon, as he's having a great year, I do think this a particularly redonkulous argument. Woodson is changing games and making HUGE plays every week.
