Seahawks Safety Coby Bryant Named NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Splash plays for the win because although I thought he had a great game I wouldn’t have even had him as Defensive Player of the Week for our team. Still nice to see national recognition of a great job by our defense

Big Cat wuz robbed!

This is the best chapter yet in the book Coby Bryant continues to write. Enjoying his evolving story.

The more Bryant can do. The more valuable he becomes.

I'm Thankful.

Really don't think he was the player of the week on his own defense, or even the second best, but cool to see nonetheless. He has certainly been earning his keep lately.

lol if it wasn’t for his pick six we aren’t winning. But hey.. seems your never happy with something Seattle does or your always in a “when I see I’ll believe” bs mode.

Coby Bryant might have saved Geno Smith's butt with that pick 6.

I complimented Bryant in the same post. Being our third-best defensive player last week is hardly an insult.

Yeah, it was a great play. Kyler doesn't airmail his receiver and throw it straight to Coby without Witherspoon chasing him down though.

Interesting how you call me out for expressing the exact opinion that two of the three posts before mine also shared.

All I know is “anytime” a Seattle defensive player is named player of the week…. That’s a GREAT thing.

 

[rigelian]

It was the crouch grab that put him over the top. If not for that Williams or Spoon gets it.

 

[KinesProf]

He's become a nice NFL calibre starting safety with room to grow, and for that I am very pleased. But nah, Big Cat had one of the most dominant games that I have ever seen from a defensive lineman.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Happy for the kid. But.....Big Cat was phenomenal

Coby Bryant Grateful For Player Of The Week Award, But Says Leonard Williams ‘Deserves It More Than Me’

Seahawks safety Coby Bryant reflected on winning NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career.

www.seahawks.com

From the winner himself on L. Williams

"I feel like he deserves it more than me, honestly," Bryant said. "That's a good guy, he put in a ton of work, had a great game, and without him, a lot of plays would remain on the table, so I definitely feel he deserved it too. But I had to get it, he's been in the league way longer than me."

 

[sutz]

I agree with the consensus around here. I'd have gone with Williams, with Spoon a close second. But always nice to see a Hawk get recognition.

I'm reminded of SB48, Malcolm Smith got the award because of his 2 picks, but there were several guys on Seattle's D who may have had better games in that historic shutdown of Peyton Manning and the Broncos D. They don't always get it right.

Agreed, Bryant was 3rd best, or even 4th best player on the Seattle Defense against the Cards, after 1) Leonard Williams; 2) Witherspoon; 3) Ernest Jones IV.

That said, Bryant was where he was supposed to be, CAUGHT* the ball, and ran it back using his blockers (including Spoon) and it was THE key play in the game. Coby Bryant, NFC DPOW, good for him!! Took advantage of his opportunity, and got the recognition! I'm good with it! Hope he kept the pick-6 ball for his grandkids.

* SO MANY TIMES, the DBs (all over the league) DROP an easy pick, and we all say, (at least I do), THAT's why he's a DB and not a WR! So yes, CATCHING the pick is a big deal, even if he just takes a knee after the pick.

It would not have happened without Witherspoon harrasing the passer out of the pocket, then running downfield to block after the pick.

Good for Coby. Not taking anything away from him. But how does Big Cat not get it? He had a pretty rare performance for a defensive lineman. Just a dominant performance.

Pick 6 is a flashy play. Even Bryant says he wasn’t even our best defender that day

Thanks. I guess I should have probably read the thread comments before chiming in, as it was already said multiple times.

Not sure why, but this thread made me think of the old-school "Photo of the Week" posters from Pietro's Pizza. Ahhhh, nostalgia!
