Okay it’s soon coming up to that time of year when league voting decides who from each team warrants nomination for the leagues year end awards ceremony . I thought it would be fun to predict who our nominees might/should be for each category .
So here for what it’s worth are my nominees …
MOP - Bo Levi Mitchell
OL - Brandon Revenberg
ROOK - Shemar Bridges
DEF - Jamal Peters
CDN - Kiondre Smith
ST - Marc Liegghio
Mind-fart there. I agree.
Isn’t it saying something that even though we’re “bottom-dwellers” we have four legitimate players for Division honours, or, at the very least, Division All-Stars?
(They changed the “all-star” thing to "All-Canadian. Which doesn’t even make sense, since most of the nominees are American, and you can’t be “All-Canadian” if you’re a Division nominee and haven’t yet “beaten” your opponent…)
Honestly looking at our Canadian contingent on our roster and we really don’t have any standouts that are award worthy imo . We seem to have more team orientated guys that just go to work and get the job done as foot soldiers than we do guys who would be considered All-Stars .
He is no doubt having a standout season but as for being a standout he currently is ranked 5th in the league among Canadian receivers behind McInnis , Emilus , Tyson Philpot (inj) and Demski . Gittens is only behind him by a mere 8 yds and Schaffer-Baker is only 21 yds back .
Woodmansey is certainly worthy of the nomination but I think that Revenberg will get it on name recognition .
Garand-Gauthier was certainly in the running until that unfortunate season ending injury he endured a few games back . As for the other 4 predicted nominees we are in agreement .
