Here I am almost 18 hours late...I've been celebrating that long. My thoughts
1. Our offense is currently averaging 504.7 yards per game.....7 yards per play. 45 or so points per game. All hail Joey Freshwater
2. Reuben Foster is the best player on this team right now and it's not even close.
3. For all the fanfare that the stars on the defense gets, Shaun Dion Hamilton is quietly having an amazing season. I'll be honest, his freshman year and even last year, I thought he was one that we might have just misevaluated, but the proverbial light has definitely come on.
4. Eddie Jackson........Eddie Jackson
5. Cam is losing money by the game. He has 3 more games against top flight pass rushers (Garrett/Hall, Key, Lawson) to make up for it but his freshman film honestly looks about the same or better than what he's put on film this season.
6. How about Anthony Averette? I thought he'd be the guy that everyone tried to pick on but he has more than held his own in one on one matchups.
7. College kickers, man. SMH
8. OJ Howard, although not lighting up the stat sheet, is making himself a load of money with his blocking. Sprinkle & Engram get the stats, but they will have question marks in the checkbox next to blocking. Not OJ.
9. We're losing a lot on defense with definite departures of Allen, Anderson, Williams, Tomlinson, Jackson, and likely departures of Foster & Humphrey (yes. Seriously). But trust me when I tell you that Terrell Hall is the next household name and Hand will work himself into a 1st round pick.
10. On the other side, all we lose is OJ and Cam (very likely). And we add Najee Harris...Good luck world. We might average 60.
What a time to be alive
