Linebacker Patrick Willis of the San Francisco 49ers is the GMC Defensive Player of the Week for games played on November 22 - 26.

Willis made 18 tackle, ½ sack and one pass defensed in the 49ers’ 37 – 31 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Willis ran down Sean Morey on a 62-yard reception in overtime preventing him from potentially scoring and winning the game for the Cardinals.

Willis was selected from among five finalists by voters on NFL.com. The other finalists were safety Roman Harper of the New Orleans Saints, defensive end Patrick Kerney of the Seattle Seahawks, cornerback Asante Samuel of the New England Patriots, and safety Dwight Smith of the Minnesota Vikings.

YOU KNOW WHO I THINK IS PRETTY GOOD? DELANIE WALKER.

Really? I dont really like him. His hands are worse then Darrell Jacksons.

 

[Chree]

Delanie isnt too bad, he just needs to work on catching, i think if he gets that straightened out, him and VD could be the best TE corps in the nfl

YOU KNOW WHO I THINK IS PRETTY GOOD? DELANIE WALKER.

He can't block for shit.

 

[Chree]

^ true but delanie is very raw, he was a college WR and they switched him to TE/FB

 

[Solitary 1]

He can't block for shit.

I HAVEN'T REALLY PEEPED HIS BLOCKING GAME. BUT HE HAS GOOD HANDS. THIS GUY QUIK ABOVE ME IS MISTAKEN.

 

[Quick]

LOL @ Walker having good hands.

And yea Alex Smith is a good QB too.

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

Yeah Delanie Walker doesn't really have good hands, but he's not nearly as bad as Darrell Jackson. He's dropped quite a few easy passes. But he is a very good route runner, especially for a TE although like Chree said he was converted from WR.. That's why he's always open. He's kinda like a weaker, slower, unable-to-block version of Vernon Davis.
