[Abe Sargent]

Stats:


RB Omar Kirby, 277 rushes, 1262 yards, 4.5 ypc, 12 rush TD, 1 rec TD

Not a bad year for a temporary measure until the next great RB comes across my desk


QB Lenny Sampson, 325 of 501, 64.8%, 4254 yards, 43:8 ratio, 113.4 rating. 503 rush yards, 89 carries, 5.5 ypc, 2 rush TD, 4 fumbles, 36 sacks.


Once again, just a sterling season, with nothing to complain about at all.


WR Floyd Middleton, 102 catches, 1387 yards, 9 TD

Are you ready for this next one?

WR Donald Hightower, 94 catches, 1316 yards, 25 TD catches

WR Chester Meske, 44, 669, 5
TE Lincoln Woodson, 45. 576, 3


How does a WR with 25 TD not get all pro? Because there are only four spots, and we had players with 13 TD and 1800 yards, 1750 yards and 16 TD, and two with 12 td each and 1680 or 1690 yards. His yards were too low. Middleton and Hightower were 5th and 6th in receiving yards. For the first time, ever, one of my favorite receiver’s records of all time has fallen. In 2008, a feisty Marvin Graham had 142 catches, 2114 yards, and 16 rec Tds, a mark which has been equaled, but never broken until this season, when TWO receivers did it. Clearly, a mistake was made in not giving him an All Pro nod, that would never happen.

Not a bad year for Woodson but a bit off his norm.


Kenny Raymond with 2 KR TD.

K CJ Schroeder 17 of 25 FG, 64/64 PAT

P Benjamin Carpenter, 75 punts, 41.8 punt avg, 28in 20.


The rookie was okay, the new older kicker was okay, and the KR was awesome.


Defense:


LB Joseph James, 133 total tackles, 1.5 sack, 1 pick, 9 pas def
DE Floyd McCullar, 13.5 sacks, 6 blocks, 7 hurries
DT Jason Prescott, 9 sacks, 1 block, 7 hurries

No one else had any sacks worth mentioning or interesting tackle numbers. I invested heavily in my defensive line and I did not get the results I expect. DT Prescott looks great, McCullar is fine, but seriously - where were my other lads?

Pass Coverage

S Randall Raymond, 3 picks, 8 pasdef
S Claude P, 2 and 6
CB Darryl Jernigan, 2 and 5
CB Jeremy Manning, 1 and 5

That is just horrible. I have players of severe importance, and that is the best they can do. Awful.


C Lance Lennon, 27 KRB, 2 sacks allowed
OG Shane Garner, 26KRB, 7 sacks allowed
OG Lewis Scott, 23 KRB, 6 sacks allowed
OT Bobby Clark, 18 and 7
OT Dustin Brewer, 18 and 4


For Lewis Scott to make the HOF, he needs better numbers in the zenith of his career than this. He now has 441 KRB, and he needs just a little bit more after an All Pro season last year. He had a few down seasons, 2048 with just 12 KRB and 2050 with just 19. If he returns for another year, I think it will help a lot. I invested a good pick and a lot of hope on Garner, and I want to see improvement, but this is a fine rookie season. I want a bit more from Lennon, but we rushed fewer times this year with Kirby back there.
