It’s Week 7, The NFL Season is About To Enter It's the Seventh Week of Play. I never Watched Ferris Beuhler's Day off, But I believe You could Blink And still Miss a lot As Life And Football Passes  By. Writer's Journey Has Been One dreamed  Up By Artificially Intelligent. Statistics tailor the experience, And Descriptive characteristics Move The Mind And Word Document Forward. I couldn't Believe There Were Many spreadsheets And Formula Erected To express The Majesty Of foot Ball In abstract calculus Models.

 

All Around Us  Fall Coming To A Close. Winter Is Coming, And With The Challenge For Warm Weather Teams, you are The Ones Dominating The League. As We enter, The Tails Of Six Weeks Of Unadulterated Football Burn Ablaze Behind And Light The Path Ahead. As Fans And Pundits Alike, We Have witnessed The  Best And At its Worst Of Each Team. The Only Hard-Line Exception Is The Undefeated Cardinals, who Haven't Been Anything Less Than At their Best. Then There are The winless Lions; They Have Been Mostly Bad, Give or Take A Game Or Two. But Not As Bad As Some Lions Team Of Pass Generation And Certainly Not as Bad As Some Scoreboards Or The Win Column Assert. Sure, Winless Is Winless. When we Factor In Competievneess Into A NFL's teams  Evaluation Of the Season, The  Lions are at least 1-5; They Lost Two Close Games Versus Exceptional Opponents. One And 5 are better Than worse; If anything, The Dolphins Have Been worse.

 

Unfortunately, being Winless Or Maligned As Such Means that You are Not Going To Have Too Many Exceptional Players Whose talents Mark The top Of The Stat Sheet or the Score Board.

 

NFL Hardware Is A Statistical Matter. Trophies Result in More From What happens In between The results More Than The Results Themselves. There Is But One Trophy, Namely the Ultimate Measure Of League Success, the MVP Award,  Where Everything Matters, Including The Nebulous Narrative that Detailed By Pro Football Focus, Atleast Not Yet But It Reads well With The stories The NFL Tells fans Today and Through the Ages.

 

 

 

MVP-Kyler Murray

Projections Are That The Cardinals Are Going To Be Good Through To The End of The Season. Even More, They Are Going To be Contenders. I Think The Prevail Thoughts Theme Surrounding The Team Is The Surprise That The team Has Found Success InnAn Offense some Saw As A Gimmick. The MVP Is team awards By Product As Much As It's the Individual Award By His exception on The Team. Kyler Murray Is that Guy. There is A Redemptive Narrative For The Air Raid Offense which Fell Short Of Expectation In its Maiden Induction. Murray Most Likely won't Finish With Better Numbers Than Brady, Carr, Stafford, Or Herbert, Or Allen. Other Quarteback's Who May Have A Claim Given Their Teams Early Success But for right it is Murray and the Cards Running Away With the League And The MVP.

 

 

Offensive Player Of The Year- Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers.

 

One Of The Few "Vexations" I Have In My Time Playing The E.A. Madden Video Game Franchise--Let Me Single Out Madden 2020 On This One--Was The "Route Running Release Ability" Animation That Some Wide Receivers Activate  Off Of The Line Of Scrimmage. I Specifically Recall It Being Michael Thomas, That Year's Rendition Of Football's Only Video Game, the Saints Standout Wide receiver Was Rated A 99 Or Closer At All Points Of The Season. The Animation To Football "Purist" And Regular Human being Was A "Quantum" Quandary. . At The Moment The Ball Snapped and Somehow—I Know This Is A Video Game—He Would Break The Line Of Scrimmage, And The Laws Of Relativity, In Full Acceleration. Like A Bugatti Boost.  Visualizing Any Human Form, Even One Composed Of 1s and 0s Move Unencumbered, even For A Football Players Who Are so "Grace," ul," Was Perplexing. Spark Visuals Would Emit From Around His Cleat Along With Some Boss Fight Sound Effects Straight Out Streetfighter. The Game's Animation Made Thomas Into A Super Saiyan.   Never Mind Your Coverage, If Not "Bump and Run" Consider It Done These Animations  Are In Part Apart  Of The Game Mechanics, If To Arouse Conservation About Aesthetic And Play Design, Then As Gimmick. Regardless, It's No Gimmick When That's The reality opposing Cornerback Have To Contend With When The Line  Up With Hopes Of  Deterring league Best Wide receiver, Davante Adams. When The World Top Sprinter, 100m runners And 200m Line And explode Out of The Blocks. Acceleration Into Top Speeds And Top Form Occurs Around The 30m-60m marks. Be top-end end Speeds Polish Off The Last 40m Or So Meters. It Takes Study To Appreciate Adams' game. Davante Adams, His Heels Don't Click or, Ignite, but He Gets Off the Line With the Quickest Or A suddenness to His Release. He Brings A Rhythm To His approach To the Line, One Step, Two Step, And Poof Vanish. It's Elusive, and From There, The Corner Back is in Catch Mode. Playing Any Wide Receiver, Especially A star, From Behind Is In Most Cases A touchdown. Davante Adams finished his astronomical 2020 season with 133 catches for 1,507 yards and 20 touchdowns. In week 3, A Must Win Game Against the 49ers, teams caught 12 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown! The Green Bay Packers take on the San Francisco 49ers during Week 3 of the 2021 NFL season. According to ESPN, Adams As Been ahead of last year's yards-per-game pace, 98 last year, 103 this season. He's tied For First In yards And Number 1 Targets. Adams Is Also the Only Wideout Top 15 In targets On the Outside, In the slot, And Flexed Out On Isolation.

 

Defensive Player of the Year: Trevon Diggs

 

 Defensive Player of The Discussion Has Been Nothing More Than a Conversation Of formality In Most Recent Times. With Pass Rusher Emerging As The Prized antagonist To A-League Infatuated With Quarterbacks, The Predator Bounty Hunting (Bad Word) These Praise Pocket Master Would rise To The Top Of The Food Chain As Next guy In line for The Award. Thie formality Was Taken To Another Degree, Becoming More Conventional when That Apex Predator became One Guy ruling His Position, Rams Defensive End Aaron Darnold. Aaron Darnold, One of The NFL's Most Dominant defensive Ends, Has Been Doing Just that, Dominating the Award as Much As He Does The Line The Scrimmage. Darnold Has One Back-to-Back Defensive Player of The Year Awards, three Of the Last Four In Total. Pass rushers have won Nine Of the Last Ten. The Last Non-Defensive End To Win The Award that Would Be Former Patriot, current Panthers' Corner Stephon Gilmore In 2019.  Another Corner Back Has to Emerge as One Of The Favorite To Win The Award, Cowboys Second Year Man Trevon Diggs. Trevon Struggled To Adjust To The NFL Coming Out of Alabama As One Of the top Corner Of 2020 draft. Range And Athletic. Most of His Woes were A credit Of Playing  Man Base Coverage On Outside Receivers And Adjusting To The Completion Level. Diggs Gave Up near 60% Reception rate And 14.4 per Reception. Diggs Finished the Season 3 Pick In 444 Coverage Snaps. Disclaimer, All of The Excitement Surrounding Diggs's Claim To the Defensive Player Of The Year Award Projection Centers on His Interception Numbers. In tot, al He Has Seven on The Season, which Is Number 1  In the NFL. Diggs Has four pass Break Up To Go Along with His Interception Numbers which Means He Is a Good Position on the Outside More Times than Not. Diggs Had To Prove That There was More To his Play His Match Up with the Eagles. All Three Of His Interception Came against Philly Last Season, And He received His Highest Grade from Pro Football Focus, A 92, Against The eagle This Season—otherwise, Diggs Has Been A Mild To Impressive Corner. Diggs Ahs has A Coverage Grade of Seventy One 71.9 to Be Exact Which Is Good Enough For 33, And He Is Still Giving up 19 yards Per Catch And 223 Yards After Catch. The Defensive Player of The Year Award has Drifted  into

Diggs Hands As Many Of His Interception Have. Browns Defensive End Myles Garret, Who Is Leading The League In Sacks At 9.5, Is Still The Odds On favorite At the Moment. Nevertheless, the Browns Are 3-3 And Falling Apart. The Cowboys Are Winning and, More Importantly, Pertinent. There Is Going To Be A "narrative" written Around This Team Come January, And Trevon Diggs Is On His Way To Becoming A  major Contributor To This team Narrative as Atop Ten Team In The League.

 

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Jamar Chase

Offense First Second And Always Focus On Football Indoctrinated UsTo Judge The Game On Pure Visuals, Numbers And Position And Of The Difference Said Position Make.  In This School Of Thought, The Offensive Rookie Of the Year Conversation Is  Not The  Clear Cut, Incontrovertible Discourse That Jamar Chase's Stellar numbers Provoked Many Into Making It out To Be. "But Jason, His Numbers Are historic." Indeed, Let's Discuss These Numbers, Of Course. Chase Is Running Away With NFL Leads In Many Major Statistical Categories. The  Rookie Receiver, Chase, Is 4th In Yards, 553, 4th In T.D., 5,   And 2nd In Yard per Catch, 20.5. In the NFL At Large, As A Rookie, Which Is Incredible. Those Number Over Shadow, nearly every Receiver In The League, Not Named Davante Adams And Chase Is On Pace To set Near unrivaled Rookie Standard By The end Of The Season. Ahead Of This Year  Draft, I held Skepticism about How Chase's Skillset Would Immediately Translate To the league. If Nothing Else, I Thought His  Possession Skills, his Sure Handed-ness,  Separation Skills Would Transfer Best Into the club. And Foley Have. On The Season Chase, Has Only Happened Upon, Three Drops,  His Adjust Depth of Catch; his6 Yards  Which Mean Chase is Getting Down Field On His Routes Down Field Mostly Unencumbered. For Me, It's the Burst Chase Has Brought To the Bengals offense that's Been the Difference. The Former Belitkoff Winner Has been , blowing The Top off Defenses Deep. Four Of His Five Touch Have Come On Deep passes,  A Pass Of 20 Yards, Or More Down Field. Chase Averages Around 43.5 Yards On these Plays. For All the Pre-Draft hype that Ja'Mar Chase Penei Sewell Debate Inspired Another Offensive Tackle who Challenged Chase In the Race And, That's Charger Tackle, Rashawn Slater.

 

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Micah Parsons.

The Book On Micah Parsons Coming Of Penn State  Was a Bit Enigmatic. A 5 Star Prospect With Two Years At Penn State, A School With A Strong A Linebacker Pedigree. Parson was The Protypical Consensus First Round Talent, Posssibky Number 1 If Not for All This Quarterbacking Going. The Year Ahead Of The Draft, Parson Sat Out His Junior Year At Penn, For Personal training And This Decision Left Scouts In A Quandary.  Parson was Phenomenal At Penn State, Remarkable even. However, There Were Still questions Scout Wanted answers. With regards T-, Positioning, Cognitive Ability, I.E., A Players Ability To process the Game, The Always Indispensable, Translatability.

What Of His Skill Set Will Move The Needle On The Next level. What Conveyed Was A Tale On A Twitched up, Mold Of Muscle And Man, ready to Be Shot out Of A Canon And Detonate On Whom Ever His Target was. No Matter If The if it is The Ball Carrier Charging Out of the Back Field Or The Tight End flanked Out On the Hot route Or The "foolish" Quarterback Who Choose To break the Pocket And Scramble For Extra Yards Or The Composed Quarterback Who Used poise And Calm And Remain Discipline Between The tackles. Parsons Locked To the Grids On Defense, And It Didn't Much Matter How The offense wanted things To Play Out. They would Have To reckon with Him. He Identified and obliterated. The Detail Of That book, Parson Was Raw At the Position. It Didn't Much Matter Which Position ParsonAllottedd To In the Alignment--A Positive Mark On his Versatility On Defensive--But Make No Mistake He Was raw And Unrefined At The Position. The Cowboys Drafted Parsons 12th, And So Far, they Have Deployed Him On The Edge Where He's Been Most Production And The Inside Linebacker Position. On edge, Parson Has 3.5 Sacks, and His 5 Quarterback Hit And 14 Hurries are Number 1 At The Linebacker Position. At Inside, Linebacker Parson Hasn't been the Best On Coverage detail. The Cowboys haven't Deployed Him Much On Coverage snaps, 107 In Total, With Just A grading Of 42/100 in Coverage. Given the Cowboy's Dearth In Quality Pass Rusher, Coverage isn't a specialty. He's Good to Be Ranked Top Twenty Amongst Rookies and Disrupt a Play Here Or There. With All-Defensive Awards, There Are Challengers. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah Is One Of The Best Coverage Linebackers And Has The 7th Highest Defensive Graded For Linebackers, According To ProFootaballFocus. Other Challengers Include Cornerbacks Eric Stokes of The Packers And Asante Samuel Jr. of The Chargers. Ultimately, I Expect Parsons to Maintain His Lead On The Competition.

 

Comeback Player of the Year: Dak Prescott.

The Comeback Player Of The Year Has become A Cliché Among NFL Hard Wood. The Award  Has Been In Most Cases Designated To The Player Who is Most Heralded  In Their Return Form An Injury  From the Year Prior- Maybe That's The Definition of The Reward- Not So Much A "comeback" Player  As Much as A Return To Form Player, Or Is That The Same Thing? When I think of "comeback," I think of A "fall Off," A Season In which A star In Question May Not be Up to the bar With His Expected Standard Of Play, Think Patrick Mahomes This Season or even A baker Mayfield Or A Matt Ryan. For Any Reason or Another, They Aren't Playing To the Degree Their Names Suggest. The Following Season They Bounce Back, Which Is the Definition Wikipedia Render But seems More Times Often It's the Injured Payer who receives this Award, but I digress.  The Reward Is Not a Given.  The Star would Have To Return To The Greatness That They Exhibited Before Injury Undercut Their Season. Returning From Injury is No Simple feat.  Stars Get Injured. Returning  To Form Or Improved Is A Given.  It's Usually The Case Of It Being No guess As To Who's Going To Win The Reward From Year To Year.

The Reward's Format Stifles Any Intrigue  Or Engagement That could Be Pulled or Produced In The Lead Up To The Rewards Announcement. Because 2020 Was A Harbinger Of Misfortunes And As Such, There were Several Star Players Injured,  Who Enter 2021 With Eligibility For The Reward; Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffery, Odell Beckham Jr. None Of Whom Have Yet To Bounce Back. That Is, Of course, The Exception of Dak Prescott. Prescott Is Leading A Dallas team That Is First On Offense, 5th  in Passing Offense, And 1st In Points Scored. Through six Games He's Amassed 1875 Yards, which Is Less Than He Had In The Five Games He Played Last year, A Good Indication That Prescott is back On MVP Pace. The Cowboys QB 16 Touchdowns Is Good For Top Ten In The League. Prescott Has The Boys 5-1 Atop The NFC East. Maybe Cincy Quarterback Joe Burrow May Emerge as A Challenger To Dak but This Award Has Been Dak's Name On It Before the  Begin Season.
