Today, we turn our baleful eyes to Defensive Player of the Year, an award that would feature very limited options if we had to give it out at the midpoint of the season. That’s both a function of injuries to key players and a function of how bad this defense has been to this point, both in the first five games (chronically allowing bonkers point totals) and against Detroit (surrendering the easiest last second drive you’ll ever see).
For all that, there are still standouts. Who did our staff roundtable like for this honor at the midway point?
