[ewg_gestalt]

This should come as a surprise to no one except Peyton Manning.

LeGarrette Blount wins AFC Offensive Player of Week honors

 

[Uncle Rico]

Awesome. Also deserves Special Teams Player of the Week.

 

[Fixit]

Also, Dan's Man Crush of the Week honors.

Awesome. Also deserves Special Teams Player of the Week.

Was thinking the same, definitely got snubbed.

He had a GREAT year, was an awesome pickup. Hopefully 3 more great games from him this season

Did they announce the ST winner yet? Who was it?

Also, pretty cool Tweet here by Blount:

What do both of these pics have in common???? The AMAZING blocking by my FULLBACK, O-LINE, and TIGHT ENDS!!!

Definitely some fine blocking. I even forgot Buffalo had an all-world rookie LB until I saw his name after the game.

Somehow, AFC Special Teams player of the Week went to . . . Adam Vinatieri.

For making three kicks, all under 40 yards. In a dome. :bricks:

Yes, it put him over 2,000 points in his career, but still.

Well deserved . Good job Blount ! I was so sure it would go to Manning and am glad I was wrong on that count.

and didn't some un-named kicker again surpass Benidict Arnold's FG/season record yet again Sunday?

Actually, I think we would be hard pressed to name a better performance by a PAT running back over the team's history--that is, when you factor in those amazing kick returns.

As to the coming games, May Blount stay healthy!! His height as a running back scares me in terms of a a knee injury--esp during those open field jaunts.

Gotta say: in the game thread, someone called him "Blount Force Trauma" ... and someone else was looking for a nickname rather than LaGarette.... we have our answer... :rocker:

The way that he runs, it doesn't seem likely. He is a slower guy, but, very hard to get down when he gets his steam going.

Actually that IS his nickname, he has a clothing line named that. The poster didn't make it up.
