Mosley wins another Defensive Rookie of the Month award

I'll be pretty ticked off if he loses Defensive Rookie of the Year to a guy who didn't even win a Rookie of the Month award (Donald or Mack).

Ditto but I don't think there's anyone close to him for rookie of the year. He
already made the pro bowl as rookie - the only Raven to do so. Not even
Ray did this.

This is just another award in a long list for the rookie. He's definitely a Ray Lewis
clone already but could he be even better barring injuries? He moves from
side line to side line just like Ray and knows where the plays are going in advance.

And to think I didn't want him but I'm still holding my breath on the injuries.

DROY has to be a lock now.

The PFF numbers for Donald and Mack are a lot better than Mosley, so I'm seeing a lot of sportswriters advocating for those guys over Mosley. But I don't see how you can deny a guy who won 2 of 4 defensive rookie of the month awards, and all the crazy numbers he's put up and how hes played almost every snap as the leader of the defense as a rookie.

I don't see how Mosley doesn't win DROY. He has to.

The last time I saw PFF numbers, they had Mosley in front with nobody close but that was weeks ago.

I have seen Mack mentioned but still behind Mosley until you posted the above.

I was reading this article earlier... it gives the details. This guy has Donald winning RotY.

Mosley: +11.3 PFF
Donald: +34.4 PFF
Mack: +55.3 PFF

And SI did a vote, and Mosley finished 3rd. They didn't even bother to mention him in the couple paragraphs about the vote... Its starting to get me worried, since I assumed he was a lock all year.

Looking like Ozzie hit a homerun with this pick. Him coupled with Jernigan makes it a real nice draft so far.

The almighty Florio chose Aaron Donald as the DROY. Mosley deserves it more, but don't tell that to King Mike.

Don't sweat it. Both Donald and Mack can sit home and watch Mosley in the playoffs... Bc

Here's another site that dropped Mosley to 3rd but he has these awards and made
the pro bowl which Mack didn't even though he has 4 sacks - 1 more than Mosley and
59 solo tackles to 87 solo jobs for CJ.

CJ clearly has the numbers and awards over Mack and awards over Donald.

Donald has 9 sacks and 2 ff and 37 solo tackles. CJ has 3 sacks and 2 ff and 87 solo jobs.

The reason Mosley dropped below 10th spot is because teams feared he was so
physical he would be on the IR sooner than later. Now they fear him for a
different reason.

If I thought I was a lock for DROY and got snubbed, it would just add to the fire to get even better. I don't doubt CJ has any motivational issues for greatness, but even perceived slight cranks it up just a bit more.
