Individual Stats:

RB Calvin Garrison - 1420 yards (the most), 297 carries, 4.7 ypc,10 rush TD. How come the guy with the most rushing yards in the league had no All Pro love? Who did get All Pro? Guy with the 6th most rushing yards and 12 TD, and Grady Pender, the guy with the most rushing TDs at 15 and 9th most yards. I generally want to award the guy with the most Tds and the guy with the most yards as my two award winners, but that must just be me.

QB Shane Dunlap, 58.6% rate, 3180 yards, 16:11 ratio, 79.8 QB Rating. This is from a fully formed 10th year veteran in his first year on the team. The good: I‘ve seen a lot of vets with much worse stats than this. His completion % is lower than where I want it, and his TD # are lower than where I’d want it, but then again, his WR targets, TE targets are not great, and the guy went down 53 times last year to sacks. It was not a good situation. I don’t place all of the blame for this so-so season at Shane’s feet, in other words.

WR Bucky Shores - 786 yards, 65 grabs, 5 TD
WR Bart Stewart - 6 starts, 3rd WR otherwise, 596 yards on 60 grabs, 4 TD
WR Sammie Robertson - 10 starts, 35 for 540 yards, 2 TD

TE Ronnie Meadows - 27 for 273, 3 TD


WR Bucky Shores returned two KR TD for scores. Awesome! WR Kendrick Grimshaw had a PR TD. That gives me three special teams returns, and that is something very nice. I don’t even remember them. Let me take a look back.

Week 17 - 99 yard KO return by Shores in our 23-17 loss to the Bengals.
Week 6 - 109 KR RET by Shores in our 26-7 win over the Lions
Week 2 - 54 yard PR TD by Grimshaw in our 38-10 win over the Bengals

So none of our returns got us a win. Two were in blowouts and the third was in a loss.


K Rasmussen led the league in FGs with 32 of 38. Love it!
P Leo Rayburn - 6th best in PR length, 37 of 97 in the 20.

Great kickers and great returners. We had a great Special Teams this year.

LB Damon Alexander - 108 solo tackles, 9th most in league (most on team). 2.5 sack (most from LB), 9 pas def (most in team), 1 INT
DE BJ Farr - 8 sacks
DT Danny Poole - 6.5 sacks
DE Tito Washington 5.5 sacks
DT Irving Enbysk - 4.5 sacks
DT Vipersmith Maloney was next with 3 sacks but no starts.


S Arnie L. - 4 picks, 4 pasdef, 1 INT RET TD
CB Sedrick Shell - 4 picks, 1 INT RET TD, 5 pasdef

OG Junior Peters - 36 KRB, 5th most in league of all positions, 5 sacks allowed

No one else had more than 17 KRB.

Raymond Velasquez allowed 15 sacks. C Nick Lamay allowed 12. This was SUPPOSED to be a pass specialist line, but that did not happen with 53 sacks.

Dunlap fumbled 10 times. Could have something to do with being sacked a lot so again, I can’t really hold that against him. This was his first year as a full starter, so I don’t have a lot of stat info from his earlier teams to use. Garrison fumbled it away 5 times, recovered it twice, and had 297 rushes, so that’s not bad.
