Clinton Portis is playing like an MVP right now. |
The Studs
NFL Mid-Season MVP: Clinton Portis, Redskins
Comment from David the Falconer at The Falcoholic:
The homer in me wants to say Michael Turner, but he's done the majority of his damage against the league's weakest defenses. Portis has put the Redskins on his back and carried them 100 yards or more down the field most games, and for that he deserves my vote.
Best Player on Offense: Clinton Portis, Redskins
Comment from Skins Patrol at Hogs Haven:
He also has 150 yards receiving and has had his role increase with the injury to Ladell Betts Not everyone knows this, but Portis is the best pass protecting RB blocker in the league and is a big reason why Jason Campbell is playing well this season.
Best Players on Defense: Joey Porter, Dolphins
Comment from BigBlueShoe at Stampede Blue:
I thought this guy was DEAD. How the hell does he have 11.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles? I mean Jeezus, it is only Week Nine and he has 11.5 friggin' sacks! The hell are they feeding them down there in Miami?
Best Rookie: Chris Johnson, Titans
Comment from cgolden at Revenge of the Birds:
No explanation needed. Just watch this kid play and it's obvious why he's truly special. Were we really questioning his status as a first round pick six months ago?
Best Coach: Jim Zorn, Redskins
Comment from WCG at Windy City Gridiron:
I hate doing this, but in that division the Redskins should have easily been the worst team.
Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio has seen better days. |
The Duds
Mid-Season Worst Player: JaMarcus Russell, Raiders
Comment from Dave the Falconer at The Falcoholic:
Consider that this guy was the first overall pick in the draft. Then consider that he can't throw a pass without collapsing into a heap.
Mid-Season Worst Rookie: Vernon Gholston, Jets
Comment from cgolden at Revenge of the Birds:
He's learning a new position so this probably isn't fair but seven tackles in eight games for a top six pick is simply unacceptable. You'd think he could at least be a situational pass rusher.
Mid-Season Worst Coach: Jack Del Rio, Jaguars
Comment from Chris at Big Cat Country:
Can I vote for Del Rio and the Jaguars for every possible spot?
