FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons veteran defensive end Dwight Freeney firmly believes teammate Vic Beasley Jr. deserves strong consideration for Defensive Player of the Year.Beasley, named the NFCs Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday, is tied with Super Bowl MVP Von Miller for the league lead in sacks with 13.5. Beasley also leads the league with six forced fumbles, including one he returned for a touchdown in last weeks 42-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams.Just because of his game-changing abilities and the things that hes done, the seven-time Pro Bowler Freeney said of Beasleys credentials. With sacks, I understand thats a big deal. To have him tied with a guy like Von Miller, its a big deal. And I think guys should be rewarded for the good years that they have.As of right now, this defense and our team is doing probably a little better than the Broncos at this point. I think that speaks volumes to some of the playmaking ability that Vics done this year. And I think it would be great to see his name be mentioned.Miller is certain to earn consideration coming off the Super Bowl. Other logical candidates include Oakland Raiders defensive end/linebacker?Khalil Mack,?New York Giants safety Landon Collins, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner.Nothing against Von -- I think Vons a great talent and great player as well, Freeney said, but I think Vic is having a special year, so having a special year should be rewarded.Beasley appreciated the high praise from Freeney.That means a lot, coming from a guy like Dwight, Beasley said. He knows what it takes, the qualities and the statistics that are required. Its a blessing to hear that from him.Houstons J.J. Watt, who is on injured reserve with a back injury, has won the AP Defensive Player of the Year honor the past two seasons.Chicago White Sox Pro Shop .

But its like I told them, its a production business. Even though youve been that kind of guy thats been around here, if I think there is a younger player or somebody else that can do it better at this point, whether it be for 15 snaps, I have to look at that.But Lewis appeared to squash the notion of younger players replacing veterans in comments posted on the Bengals website. Those comments have since been removed from the website.I dont, Lewis told Bengals radio announcer Dan Hoard when asked if he anticipated younger players gettingg more snaps.dddddddddddd Paul shouldnt have ... you have to be careful doing that. Were going to keep working and guys will earn opportunities as we go. But youve got to earn opportunities. Were not going to just make a wholesale change and so forth.Our good players are expected to play good and I think thats part of it. They have to play up to a certain level all the time. We have guys doing that on offense, but we have to get the same throughout the football team in every area. And we have to continue to coach better -- thats part of the responsibility as well.Five of the Bengals 11 listed starting defenders are 29 or older (Adam Jones and Karlos Dansby are 33 and 35, respectively). The unit has been struggling as of late, and while its not surprising Lewis would want to keep any potential changes under wraps, its unlikely the Bengals would stick with the same game plan that led them to a 3-4-1 start.
