(S24) - PT 3 - Midseason Mania

[SchwarzNarr]

Looking at awards it’s very clear that Melvin Murder-Moose is on pace to become one of the greatest kickers of all time. With the way Norfolk is currently playing and scoring, Melvin is on pace to break the all time extra points attempted and extra points made for a DSFL season. Additionally, Melvin should be considered for Punter of the Year. Currently Melvin is averaging 47.6 yards per punt, with a 70 yard long punt. While it seems odd that he only has one punt inside of the 20 and only 476 yards, that is merely because Norfolk has been absolutely dominating and crushing the other teams in the DSFL. With only 10 punts, of course Melvin’s total stats are going to be low, but when considering Punter of the Year, you shouldn’t only look at total yardage. Additionally, while Melvin has missed field goals, Norfolk has also put their faith in him and he is kicker far more field goals from further away than Daria Guava-Fresca did in the previous season. Attempting more difficult kicks shouldn’t penalize Melvin, but should rather make the case stronger for the faith that his team has in him. Besides, awards committee - you all know what will happen if Melvin doesn’t receive the Kicker of the Year award or Punter of the year Award (along with celebratory cake). Let the death of Daria Guava-Fresca be a lesson to you all. Murder-Moose is coming. You better reward him.
