Rookies 2009

A (Hopefully) Weekly Look at the Top 5 OROTY and DROTY Contenders


Week 1

Offensive:

1 QB [ifl]Xavier Armstrong[/ifl] VAN 18-27, 156 yards, 0 TD 0 INT
2 RB [ifl]Grant Hernandez[/ifl] HAR 11-68 rushing, 0 TD, 0-0 receptions
3 C [ifl]Derrick Haynes[/ifl] PIT 4-11 KRB, 0 SkAll
4 WR [ifl]Dana Glover[/ifl] LAW 3-46 receptions, 6 targets, 0 TD
5 FB [ifl]Marcus Kovatch[/ifl] LAW 2-2 KRB, 0-0 rushing, 0-0 receiving

Defensive:

1 DT JJ Johnson CLE 4 tackles (4 solo), 1 sack
2 SS [ifl]Jeffrey Buckner[/ifl] REN 6 tackles (5 solo), 1 hurry, 0 PD, 3 caught
3 CB [ifl]Phillip Wells[/ifl] WVA 5 tackles (4 solo), 1 PD, 3 caught
4 NT [ifl]Xavier Bridges[/ifl] LRK 5 tackles (2 solo), 1 sack
5 DE [ifl]Deon Lazier[/ifl] MAD 4 tackles (1 solo), 0.5 sacks

Less than stellar debuts:

RB [ifl]Roy Ramsey[/ifl] CLE 12-23 rushing (1.9 ypc)
WR [ifl]Nathan Mullin[/ifl] CAL 1-15 receiving, 5 targets

[Kobeck]

Mule RB Phil Tyler averaged 18 yards a touch with a TD and 2 ST tackles.

update?

[Hell Atlantic]

Nathan Mullin had his 1st td of his career this past week. it was a fumble recovery in the endzone for a td, but you don't get extra points for flash so he'll take it all the same.

[Kobeck]

second Fum return for TD against the Mules in 3 games. Only 5 so far in this season in the whole IFL and the Mules got torched for 40% of them. - lol

Mules rookie converted FB Tyler went for an 18 yard TD on his first carry, got stuffed for 0 on his only other touch.

Re: Rookies 2009

The DB wasn't updated until later in the week (if at all), so sorry about missing last week


Week 3

Offensive:

Armstrong continues to lead his team to victories, despite them not being given much of a chance in the preseason. Glover has outperformed [ifl]Nathan Mullin[/ifl] so far this season.

1 QB [ifl]Xavier Armstrong[/ifl] VAN 48-88 483 yards, 2 TD 2 INT
2 WR [ifl]Dana Glover[/ifl] LAW 12-128 receptions, 18 targets, 0 TD
3 RB [ifl]Kerry Glenn[/ifl] HAR 17-103 rushing, 0 TD, 1-36 receptions
4 LT [ifl]Byron Neito[/ifl] ANC 4-6 KRB, 0 SkAll
5 C [ifl]Derrick Haynes[/ifl] PIT 6-24 KRB, 0 SkAll



Defensive:

Johnson is playing with real fire in his heart, perhaps with intentions on sticking it to Dakota for not giving him his rookie contract. CBA's surprising start has perhaps been triggered by two new members of the defensive line.

1 DT JJ Johnson CLE 15 tackles (10 solo), 1 sack, 4 hurries
2 SS [ifl]Jeffrey Buckner[/ifl] REN 12 tackles (11 solo), 1 INT, 1 hurry, 1 blk, 1 PD, 6 caught
3 LB [ifl]Mack Edwards[/ifl] NWK 12 tackles (11 solo), 2 sacks, 0 def, 5 caught
4 DT [ifl]Al Armanda[/ifl] CBA 13 tackles (9 solo), 4 hurries, 1 blk
5 DE [ifl]Tyrus Boyles[/ifl] CBA 14 tackles (6 solo), 1 sack, 2 hurries

[Hell Atlantic]

Points scored:

Dana Glover - 0
Nathan Mullin - 6

i'll take that

[Argot]

Ouch...that hurts....reminder to self (ratings are not as important as we make them out to be....) :x

you were in a tough situation. He did bust a little, but he is still starter material. Probably not worth the #3 overall pick money, but still a decent young player.

Week 12

Offensive:

Well, Vancouver's winning ways seem to be fleeting, which hurts the stock of Armstrong. He still has performed well though for a rookie. Glover takes over the top spot. He is outperforming Mullin in receptions, yards, ypc, catch %, and touchdowns, though Mullin has been hitting his stride along with the Hero offense.

1 WR [ifl]Dana Glover[/ifl] LAW 43-759 receptions, 74 targets, 5 TD
2 RB [ifl]Kerry Glenn[/ifl] POR 68-356 rushing (5.2), 2 TD, 4-64 receptions
3 QB [ifl]Xavier Armstrong[/ifl] VAN 55% comp, 2044 yards, 12 TD 13 INT
4 WR [ifl]Nathan Mullin[/ifl] CAL 36-449 receptions, 80 targets, 4 TD
5 C [ifl]Derrick Haynes[/ifl] PIT 15-48 KRB (31), 3 SkAll

Defensive:

I think the top four are all pretty even.

1 DE [ifl]Tyrus Boyles[/ifl] CBA 38 tackles (23 solo), 5.5 sack, 5 hurries, 1 blk
2 DT [ifl]Al Armanda[/ifl] CBA 56 tackles (41 solo), 1.5 sacks, 6 hurries, 1 blk
3 LB [ifl]Roger Delcorio[/ifl] MON 59 tackles (46 solo), 6 PD, 7 hurries
4 DT JJ Johnson CLE 38 tackles (26 solo), 3.5 sacks, 7 hurries. 4 blk
5 LB [ifl]Mack Edwards[/ifl] NWK 51 tackles (39 solo), 2.5 sacks, 3 hurries

[Hell Atlantic]

why is Kerry Glenn ahead of Mullin. has less overall yards (by a significant margin) and has less td's. yeah, 5.2 ypc is nice, but if you have 2 carries, 1 for 10 yards and 1 for 0 yards, guess what - your ypc would be 5.0 too. 68 carries is nothing.

still, nice to see Mullin contending for OROY and not being a bust. that woulda sucked.

[JesterBlaze]

Where's the love for Roy Ramsey - Cleveland RB?

[Matt]

there is no love

[MrBigglesworth]

D Haynes looks like he is on there by default, being the only OL rookie starting.

[Warhammer]

What happened to Hernandez, he has more than 100 yards more than the RB listed.
