Regular Season Awards

The NFL regular season is over time for some hardware to be handed out.

MVP-Chris Johnson, set record for most yards from scrimmage for a single season, rushed for over 2,000 yards, only sixth player to ever do that. Whatever Peyton did has been done before is Johnson doesn't win this the voters have no clue what "MVP" stands for. One more thing, Johnson did this with teams knowing he was the only weapon, VY wasn't gonna beat you, stop Johnson stop the Titans, yet nobody shut him down.

L(east)VP-JaMarcus Russell with a slim win over Jake Delhomme. The Raiders with Gradkowski before he got hurt played well. Then Charlie Frye had them in the lead yesterday, he get's hurt and presto chango Russell loses the game. Delhomme was very accurate throwing it to the defense this year, but he didn't get replaced twice by two career back-ups.

Defensive MVP-Chaz Woodson, played maybe his best season this year. 9 picks, 4 forced fumbles, 2 sacks, and 3 TAINT's (Touchdown After INTerception). Plus, the last few weeks he had to cover the best WR on the field after the Harris injury.

Defensive Rookie MVP-Brian Orakpo moved to LB before the season, and that's a 4-3 LB not a 3-4 pass rushing LB. Ended up with 50 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 11 sacks, and a pro bowl nod. Needs to improve a little in coverage if he's gonna be a LB which I don't want, but hey the kid is good.

Offensive Rookie MVP-Percy Harvin, 60 catches, 6 TD's receiving, 2 return TD's, and 925 yards from scrimmage. This guy is the real deal and Minnesota was a different team when he didn't play.

Surprise Team-close race between New Orleans, Cinncy, and the Jets. I have to go with Cinncy because with New Orleans offense they had a shot to make the playoffs, but nobody had Cinncy coming out of that divison especially over Baltimore and Pitt. Palmer played well, Ochocinco played well, and whoever played RB was real good, didn't matter who.

Most Dissapointing team-Giants or Denver, you decide, I can't. NYG 5-0, miss playoffs completly and get blown out the last two weeks of the year. Denver 6-0, go 2-8 the rest of the year including losing to Washington. Wow, so terrible.

Biggest Move of the Year-New Orleans bringing in Gregg Williams to be D-Coordinator. The offense was stellar last season, but the defense made the difference this year. Sorry, Jay Cutler you can't win this if you lead the league in picks.

Final thought, watch ESPN's 30 for 30, especially "The U," and "Small Potatoes, Who Killed the USFL," you won't be dissapointed. I've only disliked one so far, very good series can't wait for more to come on the air.
