Forget all the Clay Matthews talk. There's another player in the NFC North who deserves serious consideration for defensive player of the year, if you ask Brian Urlacher.
And the Bears linebacker isn't referring to himself.
"Julius Peppers is the league's defensive player of the year. Write that,'' Urlacher said. "You look at Pep, I mean maybe the sacks aren't all the way there yet, but he has the numbers. He gets double-teamed every play. He doesn't have as many sacks as (Matthews) does, but I think he's the guy.''
When told about Urlacher's comments, Peppers couldn't help but smile

I agree that Peppers has been worth his contract & should be considered for DPOY. Our D-Line has benefitted tremendously by his addition, IMHO. Too bad he hasn't rubbed off on Tommie Harris.
