- Jason Campbell - JC had about the worst first half in his career, but then shook it off and led the team to a come from behind victory. High point: The revival of the deep ball and the quick strike on the Moss TD. Low point: Hard to choose, but I've got to go with striking the official in the head, and nearly getting picked. Assist goes to Zorn for sticking with him and letting this team feel like they can do something right with their offense, instead of panicking and trying to reinvent the wheel mid-game.
- Justin Tryon - The goat of 2008 (and Donnie Avery starmaker) redeems himself with solid tackling and an impressive sack! I vow to stop swearing when I see him on the field.
- London Fletcher - Ho hum. Another week, another ridiculous performance by the MLB. Defensive MVP by a mile thus far.
- Jim Zorn/Mike Sellers/Clinton Portis/Stephon Heyer/Chad Rinehart - Okay, I know that Heyer and Rinehart got us in a hole early, but they played decently in the second half. The reason this group gets a gold star is for the first and ten call after two consecutive 3-and-outs. Run off right tackle! Five yards. Two plays later - run right! Negative one yard, but still, it was to the right! All in all, Zorn called 11 running plays to the right, gaining 47 yards, a 4.3 average. That is good playcalling my friends, because it established an entire side of the field that we could run to, after defenses had been eating up our Only Run Left Offense (which surprisingly hasn't caught on in the NFL like the West Coast Offense has). Way to go guys!
- Santana Moss - That double move on Tampa's star corner was nasty.
Hello, McFly Awards
- Malcolm Kelly - As Micah said, if you hadn't committed a boneheaded holding penalty, I wouldn't have know you were active for this game.
- Sleepy Davis and Devin Thomas - Different week, same disappointment.
- Carlos Rogers - I don't think I've ever been more upset with a dropped interception in my life. And he got burned on the TD.
- Shaun Suisham - A 17 yard punt? And your entire job duties involve kicking? It's like a painter who can only use left to right brushstrokes, and needs a specialist for right to left.
Hitting the official in the head. Good Lord. That double step move was silly.
