Sean Taylor has 5 INTs, a forced fumble and 9 passes defended. Adrian Wilson has 2 INTs, 0 forced fumbles and 2 passes defended.

I don't think INTs and PD's are the best way to judge a safety. My favorite safeties are guys like Sanders and Wilson who make plays all over the field, as opposed to guys like Taylor and Ed Reed who sit back in coverage most of the time but are much weaker against the run. Taylor still would've been my third if I listed three safeties, FYI.

I was hoping you guys would give your own awards instead of just picking one line from my post to bash...

Then you're judging a player by the scheme he plays in. If Taylor were all over the field, he would contstantly be out of position and Washington would be giving up touchdown after touchdown over the top. Given your preferences there aren't many safeties who would qualify for consideration at the start of each season.
