I have watched 5 games on Saunders at WIU and if he would not be lazy and just give effort consistently he could have run away with the award this year. Nobody has like 10 picks, 20 sacks, or 30 TFL, or even 165 tackles that would standout for the award but he could have likely had 85 tackles, 20 TFL, and 12 sacks by now at DT if he was not so lazy. This guy is a monster when he wants to be but there are games where he does NOTHING. It is frustrating because I don't think the best defender is going to win the award but he has only himself to blame. He has 61 TKL, 11 TFL, and 4.5 sacks so far and he is playing lazy half the time.
