Two Coaches that are 20 year veteran coaches have made a difference. John Benton Offensive line Coach and Run game coordinator, has kept this Offensive Line afloat despite crippling injuries.. The development of AVT, Max Mitchell & Nate Herbig has been impressive. Tony Oden is the secondary coach that has stabilized the Safeties, and is responsible for the quick development of Sauce & Echols. (watch Tony Adams)

Runner up , Brant Boyer, his Special Team Units just make plays. As always , I bang the drum for the Athletic Performance & Health Dept. Partially responsible for that Fourth Quarter Dominance, and the reduction of those soft tissue injuries, thanks JD

Another great article DWH. While one can always have their own view on awards, it is hard to argue with your selections. I do wish JFM could clean up those roughing calls. It is really hard, sometimes impossible, to know how one is allowed to hit the QB but one has to adjust their game to the way it is being called. Having said that, I thought the hit on ZW on the three yard line late in Sunday's game was a clear shot to the head and nothing was called. There is little consistency which tempers my slight criticism of of JFM.

Thanks for all you do.

Enjoyed reading all of the awards and agree with your recipients.

My most entertaining play award has to be given to Q for his stiff arm on Tyrek Hill. I wish he would have scored on the return!

Thought you’d give comeback player to Lawson. He came back from an actual injury and not simply play below his career norm. Plus, it’s the presence of Lawson that has allowed Q to take that next step we all knew he had in him (plus JJ, plus Huff, plus Clemons, etc).

And you left out the asterisk next to Sauce’s award. If Breece Lightning doesn’t get injured and lost for the season this is a two and a half horse race with Breece possibly in the lead.

Great work as usual and here’s to more fun in the weeks ahead.

Great job David, no arguments w/ the caveat mentioned elsewhere about Lawson as "Come Back Player".

As for the coaches, I read an interesting article on Fox Sports yesterday about Dan Shamash who is our "Situational Football Coach" (that's kind of a made-up title). Very interesting, he's the guy who actually tells Saleh the things you're shouting from your couch, like "spike it, run clock, go outta bounds, kick it" etc. here is the link:

agree with everything except JFM - undisciplined penatlties do not make him defense player of the year so far

I was reading this article and debating our focus

Nice idea for yours.

Zach Wilson needs to look like our QB by EOY. E Moore needs to get back on track.

It's so refreshing to have coaches we believe in!

You forget he has competition - Becton & AVT. Not guaranteed.

The only thing I wish could be changed would be Offensive Player of the Year....that's no slight on Garrett, it would just mean that Breece wasn't injured..
