Midseason All-Pros

 There were some notable
breakthroughs on the seventh annual SI Midseason All-Pro team, chosen last
week in a poll of 24 NFL pro personnel directors and scouts. The Seahawks'
Michael Sinclair beat
out Reggie White and Bruce Smith for a defensive
end spot; the Broncos' Howard Griffith edged a
crowded field at fullback; the Patriots' Ty Law outplayed the
Chiefs' Dale Carter and
the Cardinals' Aeneas
Williams to get the nod at one of the cornerbacks; and the Vikings'
Dennis Green, who seemed to be a lame duck until he signed a three-year
contract extension in September, lapped the field for coach of the year.
