And for the lazy a few excerpts:
Stat of the Week No. 1: Buffalo and Miami began the season a combined 3-11 and have since gone a combined 9-3.


Dolphins Sack-O-Meter: Joey Harrington has been sacked less in his nine games as the Miami starter than Daunte Culpepper was sacked in his four games. As to Miami tactics, Jason Taylor has switched this season to a hybrid defensive end-linebacker position, similar to the old "elephant" role played by Charles Haley in his heyday. Taylor has been terrific, and if Miami were playoff-bound, would be a contender for defensive MVP. On Sunday, Dolphins' coaches reached still further back into the past and let Taylor be a 1960s University of Michigan style "monster man," lining up wherever he pleased. New England blockers clearly could not figure out the rhyme or reason to where Taylor was, and he gave them fits all day. The reason New England blockers couldn't figure out the rhyme or reason to Taylor's movements was that there wasn't any -- Taylor was using his instinct to decide for himself where to line up on each down. Essentially, Taylor was calling his own plays. In the hyper-organized NFL, it's interesting to see that giving a top player the green light to use his instincts worked out really well

Awesome. Totally freaking awesome. I knew he was lined up all over the field but I didn't know it was left up to him. Let's get him in the damn playoffs next year damnit!!!!!!!!
 
Another reason why Miami is awesome

Cheerleader of the Week This week's can be only Bibiana of the Dolphins, just voted "America's sexiest cheerleader" by readers of FHM. According to her team bio, Bibiana was born in the Dominican Republic, owns three horses and became a Dolphins' cheerleader as soon as she turned 18. Life is tough down in Miami: here the Fins' cheerleaders visit Bimini. Note the warm-to-the-touch Dolphins' cheerleader swimsuit calendar no longer includes shirtless Dolphins' players flexing their muscles, a 21st century marketing innovation that didn't work in terms of sales.

I don't see how not being in the playoffs should cost JT D MPV.

That's the nature of the NFL! Plus the fact that Merriman has more sacks than him in 4 less games. Unfortunately the "experts" over value the sack record in itself.
 
with very few exceptions, not even QUARTERBACKs still are allowed to call their own plays. To allow a defensive player to decide where he wants to line up is mind boggling. The fact that it worked so well speaks volumes to Taylors talent and intelligence.

Exactly, JTs 4 more forced fumbles and two touchdowns far and away trumps his one extra sack
 
i think the NFL would much rather see a player from a team that didn't make the playoffs rather than someone who got suspended for a banned substance

Doesn't matter if he gets 30 sacks... he won't get it because he was supended under the performance enhancer rules...the NFL would not allow it...

Remember when ray lewis was SB MVP and for some reason he wasn't on the camera getting his car..thats because cadillac didn't want to be associated with a person of his stature...

Maybe next year...but not this year.
 
Taylor has been mentioned as an NFL MVP canidate this week....not just a DPOY canidate.....that's high praise!!

Now will he or should he win league MVP? No. Tomlinson should. Brees is second IMO. But he was being mentioned as 3rd or 4th for the award, and that I really can't argue with. But, the MVP award IS an award that does (and probably should) only go to a player on a winning team. The DPOY award doesn't (and probably shouldn't).
 
jason taylor is the peyton manning of defense!!
