(S24) - PT 3 - Midseason Mania

[Baron1898]

It’s a little more than halfway through the S24 season, and Venus Powers has found herself in a most peculiar position. She is nowhere near the lead in Punter of the Year contention, suffering from a lack of both volume and efficiency compared to her competitors. The race for Kicker of the Year is similarly not very favorable, but she is at least a dark horse candidate - she remains one of the only kickers to have a perfect record for both field goals and extra points on the season, and although she suffers volume wise compared to her competitors, she makes up for it by being by far the deadliest kicker in the league from a distance. Powers has made 3 of 3 attempts past 50 yards; the closest anyone else has managed is 1, and almost everyone has missed from that range. Her proportion of 40+ and 50+ yarders is much higher than others and should give her a slight boost come awards time.

However, talking about award season would be remiss without mentioning the actual front runners of the Honolulu Hahalua, namely the stellar team defense. In particular, quarterback turned cornerback Jim Waters has been a revelation in the backfield. It’s fair to say that Waters is a viable candidate for more than just positional awards, and DPOY is well within his sights.
