Ben Anabender on which team mate deserves an award:
"Mate, none of yas likes talking about Special Teams, maybe it's because they're barely 'simulated' whatever that means, maybe it's because they're not like the rest of the game, or maybe it's because you don't have a national sport based on kicking the s*** out of a ball. But me? As a defenseman I can appreciate when my job is made easier by the deadly wicked barrels week in and week out from our own god leg Mr Blago Kokot. Speaking first hand as a member of a defence that has struggled against the run this mad c*** has made the other team run whole bloody field lengths to score on us, and when I get that much extra field time to show my greatness it feels good. He makes their job harder, our job easier and we gave him a game ball but nobody likes talking about him anyway. Bloody legend in my eyes. Deadly leg on him, shoulda moved to Australia woulda been better appreciated there."
As of week 4 Kokot has the longest punt, longest average punts, second most inside 20's (trailing the leader in Myrtle Beach by 1) and he's managing it with the same volume of punts as any other in the league. Absolute shoe in so far.
