Season League Awards? None


Stats:


Passing –

QB Blake Bortles, 4361 yards (6th most in league), 67.2% (4th in league), 30:14 ratio (Tied for 3rd most TD in league with Luck and Eli Manning). QB Rating of 97.9. Sacked 35 times, 1 rush TD. Huge improvements over last year, and last year was good. Few picks, better completion, higher yardage, and so forth. QB rating rose by 9

Rushing –

RB DeMarco Murray – 268 attempts, 1127 yards, 4.21 ypc, 11 rush scores, 67 grabs, 654 yards, 5 receiving scores. (Barely missed out on two 2000+ yard rushing seasons by Marshawn Lynch and rookie Isaiah Tucker of the Jets picked 1.3).

Murray is doing what he needed to do. Now I’d like to see more of it next year.

Receiving –

WR Marqise Lee – 81 for 1150 and 12 scores. Tied for 2nd most scores with DeAndre Hopkins in Houston.
WR Allen Robinson – 12 starts, 49, 583 yards, 5 scores
TE Marcedes Lewis – 14 starts, 44, 600 yards, 2 scores
WR Blackmon, 4 starts, 33, 427, 2
WR Sanders, 42, 306, 2


No major concerns here at all. Even Marcedes Lewis looked good in his 10th year in the league. Can’t argue with 600 yards from a guy with 14 starts.


Special Teams –

K Tyler Bernard – 16 of 21 FG, 46 of 47 PAT, long of 52m
P Johnny Hekker – 42.7 average, (6th worst); 34 of 75 inside 20.
RB Toby Gerhart, 20 special teams tackles
CB Demetrius McCray, 20 special teams tables, 3 forced fumbles


Bad Punter season again, and Bernard just isn’t growing like I hoped he would continue to do. But, we don’t have a lot of opportunity to crap out, or to shine. No sense picking up a major K or P and spending tons of cash if you are punting 5th fewest times or kicking 3rd fewest FGs.

Defense –

FS Quentin Demps – 73 solo tacks, 21 assist, 1 sack, 2 hurries, 3 picks, 4 pasdef
CB Alec Bowbliss – 72 solo tackles, 19 assists, 3 picks, 6 pasdef
ILB Paul Posluzny – 13 starts, 68 solos, 25 assists, 2.5 sacks, 2 block passes, 2 hurries, 1 QB Knockdown, 1 pick
S Jonathan Cyprien, 12 starts, 68 and 22 tacks, 1 sack, 8 pasdef
DE Tyson Alualu, 20 and 5, 6.5 sacks, 2 blocked passes, 9 hurries, 1 knockdown
DT Kevin Williams – 47 and 14, 4.5 sacks, 1 block, 1 hurry
DT Evander Hood, 13 starts, 29 and 13, 4.5 sacks, 2 blocks, 5 hurries, 1 knokdown
OLB Upshaw – 65 and 20 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 blocks, 1 knockdown, 8 pasdef

CB Patrick Robinson, 1 pick, 10 pasdef
CB Jeremy Harris, 2 picks, 8 pasdef


Hmmm…

Not a good year for anyone here. It’s very blasé I think we have a few players, but we need to grab some studs here soon.

Blocking –

OG Zane Beadles – 15 starts, 31 KRB of 81 KRO, 6 sacks allowed
C Nicky Fitz – 29 of 60, 3 sacks, 1 pancake
OG Marquis Satre – 20 of 75, 3 sacks allowed, 4 pancakes
OG Mike Iupati – 5 starts – 14 of 34 and 7 allowed
OT Jamon Meredith -0 14 starts, 13 of 32, 5 allowed
OT Luke Joeckel – 12 starts, 11 of 38, 8 sacks

Joeckel simply cannot be the worst of my five starters and expect to retain his job. I would’ve liked more from Satre, but it’s a start. Pleasedontbust.
