Freeney is NFC Defensive Player of the Week

[gmabel830]

Seems like we win one of these every week!

Freeney is racking up those sack bonuses.. money well spent!

This signing was way better than I expected, and I was optimistic.

Freeney getting some recognition

Hell of a game for Freeney, but Calais deserves the award this week.

His game was the best 300k we spent all year.

He could get Also NFC player of the month .I think he had like 4 sacks in last 3 games with 3 Forced fumble and a crucial one versus minnesota in the final play

+1

Just imagine what a person who was pessimistic about the situation like myself.

I do not know how Keim finds these old vets, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, how he knows which ones have gas in the tank, and which ones don't.

Corey Redding? How the heck does one of the few NFL players that is older than I am still produce ? I honestly though Keim got too cute with bringing Redding in, and he is still a beast at what he does.

Seriously, we have to have the most of any team.

Freeney has been a great signing, he rivals the Old Abe signing and the CJ signing. What needs to happen is Freeney teaches his spin move to at least one of our pass rushers.

Cards have won 6 player of the week awards this year, felt like more.

There are three awards given out each week, 17 weeks so a total of 51 and we have won 6 so far. With 32 teams each team should win 1.59 awards each season, we have over 3 times as many and that's assuming we don't win any this week.

I don't either. Redding and Freeney are just the latest. He keeps them productive by depth, they aren't playing tons of snaps, BA is able to rotate dudes in.

Freeney has been a phenomenal acquisition though. 7.5 sacks in 10 games and he really didn't play much in those early games. That doesn't even count his pressures. He's around the QB and causing havoc. 3 forced fumbles in 7 sacks is insane by the way. He's a difference maker.

What's great to me is that Freeney knows playoffs, he knows how to take it up a level, he can easily turn it up a notch. Even better, like icing on the cake, is that he can groom our younger dudes about playoffs and what it will take to go all the way. Dude has 2 AFC Championships and a SB. I love this dude, love his interviews, he's just so thankful and he really loves BA and this team. He's so complimentary of everyone else on our team.

Keim is awesome. Let's be honest, how many of these "average" just-a-guy players did he bring in that we were like "meh"? Now look at our depth. Depth matters, and Keim knows how to build a roster. What's amazing is that he builds a roster complimentary not just to BA, not just to the offense, but to the defense, offense, the whole team. I'm very impressed.
