(S24) - PT 3 - Midseason Mania

[ForSucksFake]

I think I've got a pretty good shot at getting Defensive Rookie of the Year considerations. I know Defensive Tackle isn't the sexiest position stat-wise, but my player has been making life for quarterbacks pretty rough. Halfway through the season, my player has 3 sacks. It doesn't sound like a lot, but that's 12th among DTs. In tackles, my player is 8th among fellow DTs at 30. There's a ton of players hovering around 30-35 tackles, so my player is keeping pace pretty well. He's currently fourth overall in the league in tackles, which puts him at first among corners. I think he's got consideration for Cornerback of the Year, even if he doesn't have the "sexy" stats like interceptions or touchdowns. We've had a pretty rough season but he's been a highlight for us. One player on our team that could make a case for the "big one" is Mike Hockhertz. As a linebacker, he leads the league in tackles. But what really stands out is his hands and speed. My guy has a PICK SIX. He gets after the ball too, posting three pass deflections. I don't see any holes in his game other than perhaps sacks. But sacks are a stat more indicative of defenders playing up on the line. Overall, our defense has individual players that have put up great individual numbers even if it hasn't translated to team success.
