MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
#2 Long
The MVP Award goes to the player whose play contributed the most to the teams overall success. From start to finish #2 Long was the anchor of the Predators offense. Scoring 9 TDs and leading the team in receptions, #2 Long had a solid session. Week after week he came to play and left his mark. He made catches jumping, diving, running and falling, keeping Predator drives alive all session. He was also very effective defensively. His size and quickness continually aggravated offenses. Time and time again he was deflecting away passes, making it very difficult for opposing quarterbacks. He accounted for 5 interceptions and was one of the best pullers on the team. He was injured in the first playoff game and gutted it out to help the Predators beat Seed Men 7-0. The outcome may not of gone the Predators way if he wouldn't of played. He is a great teammate and will do whatever is needed of him to better the team. It was difficult to choose his best performances of the session because there were so many. In week 3 against Robinson #2 Long had two outstanding TDs and one interception. In week 6 against Evolution, he made a awesome and long TD catch in the back of the end zone from #45 Price and also pulled in a interception. Also in week 8 against Seed Men he made a nice catch from #7 Brown, made defenders miss and strolled into the end zone. In nine of 10 games this session #2 Long had either an interception or a TD and multiple times had both. All session long #2 Long was a constant for the Predators and they are very pleased to have him back next session. Congratulations #2 Long on your outstanding MVP session.
PREDATOR AWARD
#27 Clapper
The Predator Award goes to the player whose versatility as a player most contributes to the teams overall success. It can be through leadership, input to help the team, and on the field play. To management #27 Clapper stands for all those things. #27 Clapper played every role for the Predators this session. He played every position except for LB and C. He even rushed for the Predators this session. The Predators wouldn't of gotten where they were this session without him. In week 4 when #50 Price went down for the session. #27 Clapper stepped right into the defensive play caller role and did an even a better job. He always stayed the course with the Predators Red D. #50 Price at times went to man in questionable situations. #27 Clapper also had many ideas to help the team and took on the role of team scout. His input gave the Predators an edge before every game. Against Martindale in week 5 his two interceptions kept the Predators in the game for a while, but the offense played so poorly that the game spiraled out of control. In week 6 he scored two TD's against Evolution, breaking defenders ankles on the way. He scored 4 TD's in the second half of the session and was there when the Predators needed him most. Time and time again #27 Clapper left many players in his dust leading the Predators in yards after catch. Defensively he also pulled in 5 interceptions and made quick, accurate pulls the entire session. #27 Clapper will not be back next session and he will be sorely missed. He leaves the team leading the Predators in Playoff TD's. Congratulations #27 Clapper on winning the Predator Award.
MOST OUTSTANDING DEFENDER
#52 Oberhaus
The Most Outstanding Defender Award goes to the player whose play defensively contributed the most to the teams overall success. #52 Oberhaus was the only Predator to start at the same position on defense every week. He anchored a solid defense from the LB position. Week after week #52 Oberhaus made flag pull after flag pull on route to winning this award. He didn't win this award because he made every pull either, because he missed many. It is nearly impossible to make every pull in a whole session. He won this award because of his consistency week to week and his big play capabilities. #52 Oberhaus was the primary reason for all three of the Predators defensive TD's this session. In week 2 against State Farm #52 Oberhaus intercepted two passes, made a couple moves and lateraled both of them to #7 Brown who took them in for scores. In week 9 against Gunners he head butted a guy with his chin just to get the turnover and he then took it in for the score. It was an outstanding play. He recorded five interceptions on the season. Another time #52 Oberhaus set himself apart was in week 6 against Evolution. Evolution took the snap and quickly pitched it to their speedster. #52 Oberhaus closed quickly as the player raced toward the sideline. #52 Oberhaus jumped and snagged the flag before the player got out of the end zone recording a safety. #52 Oberhaus had a solid session from start to finish and congratulations to #52 Oberhaus on winning the Most Outstanding Defender award.
MOST IMPROVED PLAYER
#7 Brown
The Most Improved Player goes to the player who improved the most since the previous session. In the expansion session we all know the Predators had it rough not winning one regular session game. #7 Brown was the "lucky" one to lead the offense through that stretch. He started the first eight games and as the losses started to pile up so did the Predators frustrations. #45 Price came in and threw 3 TD's in the Toilet Bowl and led the Predators to their first win. Coming into this session #45 Price got the nod to start and played well at the start of the session getting the Predators off to a 3-0 start. But things happened on and off the field and in week 6 the Predators needed a jump start offensively. #7 Brown came into the game and threw two TD's leading the Predators to victory against Evolution. He also moved the offense well in a 12-0 win against Seed Men in week 8 when the Predators needed a win to clinch a playoff berth. He threw both TD's in the game. He accounted for 7 passing TD's on the year. He contributes much of his success at quarterback this session due to him starting at CB. He noticed some things that gave him a better idea of what to do at quarterback. Also, his pulling ability sky rocketed at the end of the session. Early on he seemed to almost tackled a guy or two but got himself under control at sessions end and had a great defensive performance making pull after pull against Seed Men in the playoffs. Congratulations to #7 Brown for winning the Most Improved Player.
