Mccoil over Grymes? McCoil over Sewall even? Horrible choice. I'd would have had Willis even ahead of Mccoil.
Whyte is another bizarre choice, he's done a great job but a kicker that only plays half a season, doesn't say much for the rest of our non imports.
Lacey and Walker were no brainers.

So many good candidates on D. How do you pick just one?

Even on O, either Bowman or Walker you could make a case for. But it's hard to argue against being 8-0 as a starter down the stretch after returning from injury, even if not all the wins were pretty.

That's the thing it really could have been anybody. But I'm sure they have their reason for settling on DMC so I'm fine with that pick.

I think Mike had to win MOP not only for going 8-0 as a starter down the stretch, but for working his way back from an injury that would keep most guys out for the season in about 9 weeks. We all saw the boost that our team got when he came back, even as he spent a few games shaking the rust off early on.

I also thought Grymes for MODP and even Eddie Steele for MOC

Re: Esks Team Award Winners Announced

^ Both would have been solid choices no doubt.

Looks like the Esks are gonna lock up top rookie for the second straight year which is pretty cool as well. That's a testament to the quality of the scouting network that's been put in place by Ed.

Unless the voters throw the riders a 'feel good' bone and award it to Jeff Knox (and the D that can't get off the field)

I had thought about that scenario and it would be travesty if it actually came to be. The only other legit contender I see there is maybe Jennings just because he's a QB. But despite all his stats his win loss record isn't very impressive.

On another note, I don't see anyway Jones doesn't walk away with the top coach cup (whatever its called)

It'll go to Huff because he's an athletic supporter.
