Charles Woodson was named AP Defensive POY today.
finishing 2nd was darrelle revis, the jets CB.
if you to pay huge bucks for only one year, woodson is older so that loses value, but for one season, who would you rather have?
woodson had 9 picks, 3 returns for TD
revis was the definition of lock down, holding receivers like randy moss, reggie wayne, brandon marshall, andre johnson, marques colston, terrell owens, roddy white, steve smith, and chad johson under 35 yards receiving. only ONE of those guys scored on him, moss.
id take revis
diggin round a lil, look at this, its crazy
revis gave up only 3 TD's this year, he had 7 INT's.
during 17 games (including playoff game last week), revis gave up a total of 507 yards. ALL YEAR. 30 yards per game, on the opposing team's #1 receiver.
ive not looked at all time numbers, but that has to be at least top 2 greatest cb seasons
revis

well cmon now, its not like Woodson didnt have a great year as well. GB would not have made the playoffs without Woodson, same for NYJ and Revis.
Woodson had more INT's, more return TD's, more tackles, and more forced fumbles, thats why he won the award.
for the lack of a better word, the sexy stats.
Going out on a limb here, but I'd be willing to bet Woodson was thrown at alot more than Revis also.
The best lockdown corner ever never had more than seven picks in a season, and in his days in Dallas sometimes only had two. Nobody threw at him, it was suicide.
But I'd take Revis in a heartbeat. I love how he doesn't care to get physical when need be. Watched the Jets alot this year, and I'm gonna say that I never saw Champ Bailey play like that. Best corner I've seen since Sanders....
But props to Woodson. Very very impressive year.
What duckmeat said.

I wasnt able to find that stat, I looked for it but couldnt find it.
some are saying that Revis' season this year is only matched by Deion's season in 94 for the Niners.
Revis is the best corner in the NFL, he is better now than Champ was at his best, and to be honest, I think Revis is better than Neon Deion. Deion had GREAT coverage skills, but he refused to be physical and hit people, something Revis is not afraid of.
EDIT-
check my new thread, long read, but interesting I hope
Deion didn't have to be physical in his coverage.
Whatever side of the field he was on, it was shutdown. Not an option. Not just the WR he covered, but any ground remotely close to him.
Saying he's as good as Primtime after one year? No, not seeing that. Deion was a freak, best flat out coverage corner ever. Jury is still out on Revis...
