My Tijuana Luchadores have some tremendous individual performances going on to date. We are currently sitting at the end of week 6 at the time of this writing and I see several players who have a chance at awards at this point, which just points to the amazing job that our GMs did at building this team and that our players have done at earning and competing week in and week out. If you were in that Tijuana locker room, you'd know that it is rowdy right now! I cannot pick one or two players as a result of this because I want to give credit where credit is due. SO below you'll see my ELEVEN players from Tijuana whom I believe currently are contending for end of the season awards:
First, I think either of our RBs have a chance at RBOTY - Theeks and Mills are both running like crazy, but I'd currently give the edge to Mills, whose 6.2 YPC set the mark for the top 11 rushers in the league and only trails the current leader in yards by 18. As a true rookie, he's had a truly special first half of the season.
In contention for WROTY is Howlett, whose 439 yards are also third in the league and also oddly enough trail the leader by only 18 yards. He's going to need to get some more TDs on the board, but that's certainly manageable if the sim decides to show him a little love.
I cannot talk enough about our offensive line. They are SPECIAL. Mellott, Riposte, and Davis mark the 2nd, 3rd and 4th most pancakes this year and Mellott (no. 2) has yet to allow a sack. That is a crazy first half of the year and it seems to be currently between him and Stallworth for the OLOTY which should be fun to watch. All of these guys deserve honors though for the first half of their season. They're a big part of us being 4-2.
Our kicker may be a bot, but my gosh Burton has been a GOD. I gave him all kinds of crap about missing 2 preseason kicks and he apparently heard me! He's been a perfect 13 for 13 on FGs and I don't know if he's allowed to win but I sure think he should so far!
Now for my favorite, the defense! An early contender for DROTY would be Terry Tate, who as a number 4 LB paces the league in sacks with 6 and has added 4 PDs to that as well. His tackles may not be huge, but his playmaking has been tremendous and deserves consideration for this award.
Bowie is currently setting the pace for tackling safeties which should keep him in the conversation for SOTY, but he does need to make some big plays to add some appeal to his numbers when the voters are taking a look. A couple of picks or forced fumbles would go a long way to bolster his case.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have Alexander-Arnold who leads the league with 2 picks and is second in PDs with 7. He has been a huge force to keep opponents in check and certainly has a shot at CBOTY.
Finally, in what has so far been a tremendous season for Linebackers across the league, Adam Schell has stayed squarely in contention for both LBOTY and DPOTY. He is currently sitting at 52 tackles (4th), 3 TFLs (14th), 2 FFs (2nd), 1 FR (5th), 4 sacks (3rd), and 3 PDs (21st). I truly believe that down the stretch this is going to be a two man race between Schell and Chainbreaker, who are both looking to continue their remarkable seasons and lead their teams to glory. This should certainly be fun to watch...
