Yeah, there won't be a lot of variation and therefore it'll lack debate a little bit, which is another reason why I was a little slow doing it. I mean 3 or 4 of the categories are nailed on. But then I thought, well that's the case for this season, but if we have multiple candidates for each category next year then it's another way to mark our progress.
Next time I'm gonna add a 'Most Improved Player' category. The funny thing is with the turnover we've had we couldn't really have it this time round, know what I mean...? Who would you have? Davis or Reilly maybe but it's weak. Last season we had 11 rookies involved and a number of new recruits, only a handful featured in the previous season. It's a category that requires stability and we're evolving radically!
But at the risk of sounding like SJ, we're getting there!

On O the whole O line improved especially with injuries and rookies but I truly think Trent stepped it up big.. he was owning d ware bit the suspension would take that award away. Same for Davis.
Basically I agree a lot of new faces and a lot of up and down play. I'd vote Riley on D and water boy on O... Oh wait I don't want to give Becksy a vote, umm.... BB. Saw the field a few times on offense put up a rushing td, aswell as passing. The first of course called back on some of that ol bs.

I was on the all Torain train after last year and had high hopes, he just fell off horribly. Triple A played like total poop aswell, even though Rex couldn't throw the ball far enough he also had some big drops.
Rocky on D bit the Wang pretty hard too...
I also thought about adding Kory to the list, but being injured almost half the season doesn't help his case. He was looking good though that's for sure.
The best play is tough for me.. I'd say the banks reverse that got called back was just as exciting as his pass, and Helus was right there with that leap over a defender.
Not to take anything away from Kerrigan, but that was as much skill as luck. Kind of like a hole in one. Ya u are aiming for it but the gods have to give you a little grace IMO.. it was a great individual effort but happened once, vs bb continuing to make great plays w his speed, u know what I mean?

If Hightower didn't get hurt he would've been an all-pro RB.
My reasoning is.. we rely so heavily on the RB position.

Well, he wasn't finding the holes as well as Helu and Royster and then there was that St Louis Rams game in which ... Oh, I am sorry, I was supposed to shut up! :![]()
Wait a minute, LPJ - In his last game, Hightower was on his way to a season high rushing day. He was finally finding those holes - 5.2 rushing avg. That might have been the beginning of a break out season. You might have something here.

He's got speed and power. I like Helu, but expect Royster to replace him as the number one back. I don't expect to see a lot of Hightower unless there are injuries.

..but the committee thing always seems to work for Shanahan and all 3 of our guys are more than capable. Hopefully they'll be able to sub in/out and stay healthy.

I wouldn't exactly say that Royster has speed at 4.65 in the 40, but he proved to be shifty and hard to bring down when attempts at tackling him up high were made.
Helu, at one point had a 4.9 yrd avg and with stiff run competition and injuries, his average dipped. Could Royster have sustained that average throughout the season? Not likely because the Pats, Vikes and Eagles weren't exactly run stuffing defenses.
He has power speed.. not quickness but does have speed and strength. He also ran a 4.53 at the combine. While Helus 4.40 avg is better then 4.6 helu also put up a 4.5~. A hundredth of a second or two without pads is hardly a case for either. I really like Helu but Rotated is the all time leading rusher at Penn state for a reason. Maybe its not break away speed but more vision and strength can be a better skill set at rb.. now most wide outs is take speed over strength, rb not so much. Having both, for cheap, is a big plus. Hightower is off and on but a great blocker, probably be the third down back with the coaches playing who's hot between the other two as number one.

Being our arch rivals I can't see anyone beating him.. Ya gronk had a great game and got the record vs us, but would have gotten it anyway. Just my 2 cents.
