[KPENN]

I don't know how many are interested in threads like this but i thought it could be a fun discussion. Plus i find it better then telling Mark May to suck one 239 times. These were just some categoties I thought of. Obviously feel free to add on any or what not.

Mine are

Offensive MVP- Armando Allen
Defensive MVP- Manti.

Offensive Most Improved- Allen. Looks a lot stronger and more explosive
Defensive Most Improved- DB's

Offensive Most Disappointing- Floyd. I don't know if its the new system and new QB, but thus far hasn't looked himself

Defensive Most Disappointing- OLB's. The MLB's have been solid, but so far nobody has stood out.

Offense Surprise Player- Braxton Cave. Sort of out the box. But I think he's done a nice job being a first time starter. This position had me worried in the offseason a bit

Defensive Surprise Player- Carlo. Man has he been good so far. Really never saw this one coming

 

[jason_h537]

Offensive MVP: Armando Allen- always comes up big when called upon
Defensive MVP: Ian Williams- Stats don't show how valuable he has been to the team this year

Offensive Most Improved: No one yet
Defensive Most Improved: Harrison Smith- gets alot of crap from fans but he has gotten better each week

Offensive Most Disappointing: Chris Stewart- He is not suited for the spread but he should still be dominating
Defensive Most Disappointing: Darius Fleming- I expected big things but has yet to put a game together

Offense Surprise Player: Zach Martin- Showed why he won the job
Defensive Surprise Player: Carlo Calabrese- Did not think he would be this good this early

[HereComeTheIrish]

O MVP - Crist...Do we need to revisit what happens when he's not in the lineup?

D MVP - Mr. Te'o...You're a freaking beast.

O Most Improved - Theo

D Most Improved - Darrin Walls

O Most Disappointing - I'd say Rudy, but he's licking his wounds as of late....I'd say Cierre.

D Most Disappointing - B. Smith is the easy choice but since I think he was overrated from he beginning...I'd say Steve Filer.

O Surprise Player - TJ...

D Surprise Player - Carlo...Another beast in the making.

Special Teams MVP - David Ruffer has been awesome. This is a run-away.

 

[bornready85]

Offensive MVP-Allen. Guy goes 100% on every play. Riddick is a close second.
Defensive MVP-Te'o.

Offensive Most Improved-Riddick.
Defensive Most Improved-Harrison Smith.

Defensive Most Disappointing-Ethan Johnson. Had higher hopes for him this year.

Offense Surprise Player-Zach Martin
Defensive Surprise Player-Calabrese

I agree with all these except that I'd swap Stewart for Floyd. It boggles my mind that Stewart(like P.Allen and S.Young before him)is a below average run blocker with that kind of size.

 

[jason_h537]

How can Theo be most improvied if he has nothing tp improve from? It's his 1st year at WR

Also Allen ran hard last year,

 

[phork]

Somewhat alternative idea for Offensive MVP. How about Ruffer? Games would be a lot closer with out his perfectness.

 

[IrishinSyria]

How can Theo be most improvied if he has nothing tp improve from? It's his 1st year at WR

Well, he seems to have improved a lot from week 1...

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Offensive MVP - AA tough kid and much improved. What would he have done with 4 full years of good offensive line coaching and strength and conditioning coaching?

Defensive MVP - Gotta go with Ian Williams on this. He is a beast.

Offensive Most Improved - AA. He might not be racking up 100+ yard games, but he is running harder and better than he has so far in his career.

Defensive Most Improved - the D line as a whole in terms of stopping the run.

Offensive Most Disappointing - Floyd and Rudolph are a tie. I know Rudy is hurt, but they have both been underwhelming so far.

Defensive Most Disappointing - Pass rush.

Offense Surprise Player - Braxston Cave.

Defensive Surprise Player - I guess Carlo, but I am not that surprised.
