Mid-Season NFL Awards
November 11th, 2008 by Harkov | Filed under General NFL.Given that we are just past the half way mark of the 2008 season, we thought we would put together some mid season awards. We tried to look past simply statistics, but with some positions (o-line), I’ll be the first to admit it is difficult to be up on every player in the NFL!
Offense
QB: Drew Brees…they may not be winning, but Brees is putting up huge numbers
RB: Clinton Portis…amazing year
WR: Anquan Boldin…10 TDs…with a messed up face
TE: Antonio Gates…still has it..it’s a shame Scheff hasn’t played more games, has a crazy 17.6/catch
OT: Ryan Clady…call it a homer, but 346 pass attempts, 7 sacks (2%) 2nd in the League
OG: Chris Snee/Rich Seubert…Giants are dominating the line 5.2/Carry and only 11 Sacks
C: Kevin Mawae - I have to give the Titans some love here, 5 Sacks with Collins…and a big running game
Defense
DE: Mario Williams…is proving he deserved #1 pick
DT: Kris Jenkins…has transformed the Jets’ D
OLB: James Harrison…wish we had this guy
ILB: Jon Beason…guy is a beast…7 pass defends, fumble recover, 2 picks…and 79 tackles
CB: Nnamdi…gotta respect a guy who wants out of Fader-Ville
S: Nick Collins…ball hawk
Special Teams
K: Prater - 5/5 outside 50…17 touch backs to lead the league

PR: Reggie Bush - even if he’s not around…3 TDs…21/return.
Other Awards
