Ziggy Snubbed from AP All Pro Team

[cheeno]

Khalil Mack voted All Pro at two positions for the first time ever. Likely takes Ziggy's spot at DE.

Bunch of bullshit.

Isn't Mack a DE first and a LB second? Maybe he took a LB's spot on first team.

I always though he was an OLB. But in a 3-4 he plays all over.

that's the thing about these "hybrid" type players. On running downs he pretty much acts like a LB and on obvious passing downs he plays DE.

Either way...he is probably the 2nd best defensive player in the league...maybe the best.

Lions’ Ziggy Ansah makes All-Pro second team

No argument from me that Mack deserves to be an All-Pro. Dude is a stud. However, its silly that he was voted in at two positions...

Oh well, Ziggy had a hell of a year and has established himself as a top 15 Defensive Player in the NFL. Its hard to imagine now, but a lot of the so called 'experts' (and some of the fans) were worried that Ziggys production would drop off due to Suh not being around to eat up double teams every play. Clearly that wasnt the case....

It will be hard for him to crack the All-Pro team, as long as Mack and Watt remain healthy. Those two are freaks of nature, especially Watt, who might very well end up as one of the top 3 Defensive players of all time....

Can't argue with that logic.

Bowman or Berry -- one of those two should get more hardware for comeback player of the year.

Any bettors on Cam for MVP?

 

[mhughes0021]

I do think Ansah had one of the best 4-3 DE years.....but im not sure if hes the 2nd best DE in the league. Cant argue if he missed the ALL Pro.

Mack cant even hold Watts jockstrap
