    Oops, didn't read all the instructions.

    MVP: Brady (Greatest single-season performance by a QB in history)

    Offensive POY: Moss (About as good as we could have dreamed...and that's saying something about arguably the most physically gifted player in NFL history)

    Defensive POY: Rod Harrison (Although he did miss the first 4, he came back to have a solid season. Came up with some big plays at big times, i.e., sack @ Dallas, INT @ Indy, tackling Hines Ward on 4th and goal, etc.)

    Top O-lineman: Koppen (Protected Brady well all year...this could go to Koppen, Kazcur, Light, or Mankins)

    Unsung: Welker (Maybe not TOO unsung, but he did get overlooked in the Brady-Moss hoopla. Caught an amazing 112 balls, and was the key to many, many drives this year. Gives the Pats a psuedo-running game with the short passes.)

    Top Asst. Coach: Josh McDaniels (Although my mouth waters when I think about what Charlie Weis would have done with this offense, at least McDaniels didn't screw this combo of players up. While at times predictable, he still was the coordinator to the most prolific offense in NFL history.)

    Thanks, Bill, fun idea to vote for these guys. I don't necessarily disagree with the guy who voted before me, I just wanted to give a couple different votes.

    Also, Faulk could be considered for unsung. He played all 16 games, had the second most receptions of his career and, most importantly for him, didn't lose a single fumble.

    Agreeing with the previous commentator, Kevin Faulk was always there, no fumbles, hardly mentioned in all of the writings, when game being called, seemed to be a "surpise" to the broadcast team on almost every game. No Doubt Brady, MVP...Moss OF player, shared with Welker, Wilfork DOY, and the team of OL men as OFP.
    And the whole TEAM deserves effort for teamwork....staying together as one.
