Man, thought between Doubs and Jones and Walker.
Jones had higher expectations and delivered. Doubs stepped huge even with the hammy and Watson out. That second touchdown looked like davante.
I’m going yoop and Doubs for my vote.

Can't vote for Love. Jones had a sweet game but you expect that. I'll go Wyatt and give Sal the vote. Wyatt was a monster.
I'm picking Ringo's guy Carlson. 5 extra points and a 52 yarder. People had 0 confidence in him. At least deserves a mention for outdoing expectations.
RIP JustJeff
Random thought on that note.
3.5 sacks between Wyatt, Brooks and Van Ness. That’s kind of cool.

Check the time on Ringo's pick though. I call shenanigans!

Given that, my pick is Wyatt.
RIP JustJeff
I'm gonna vote for the OL.
Doubs

After a LOT of thought and consideration, because so many are worthy.
I agree with Pugger. It's the OL. They are why Love was pressured only twice. They got out and ran the field on the big Jones screen. They opened holes for Jones.
Really wanted to go on the D side of the ball, but the success over there was so spread out. OL made it possible today for our playmakers to make plays.

Quay Walker. That was a fantastic run after the pick
What a tough call. So many guys had great performances. Just speaks to how good of a result this was for the first game of the Love era.
With that said I think you have to go with Love because of the circumstances and that he rose to the occasion. But normally in a game like that I would say Jones. And tough to not go with a ILB who scores a defensive TD on a 40-yd interception return.

He wasn't going to be denied by anybody on that run. He wanted that endzone
I'm not usually one to reward the obvious "star" picks - I love the underdog aspect of this forum contest - but I can't deny the performance from Aaron Jones yesterday. He carried the running game, jump started the passing game, and hit paydirt multiple times to stifle the surging opponent.
That's not to say there weren't other worthy candidates but I feel like Jonesy played lights out. I also feel like he kept the pressure off Love and filled the spotlight void left by you-know-who. He gets my vote.

I demand a recount or better voting rights legislation. I voted for the Kicker.

The spirit of this is unsung hero's or best surprise performance. Jones and o-line performed as expected. Love's play was what we hoped for, not perfect at all but no turnovers, got us TDs in the RZ and stayed cool and calm even when he dropped the ball and recovered to hit Musgrave.
So I'm feeling the Love this week.

Convincing. You’re right. The O Line isn’t enough of an underdog.packman114 wrote: ↑11 Sep 2023 07:49The spirit of this is unsung hero's or best surprise performance.

Apologies for the vote counters, but i REVOKE MY VOTE FOR OLINE
and I CAST my vote for WYATT. That dude dominated. A guy who disappeared most of his rookie year that we needed to step up. Just saw some cutups of his play in the post game thread. He killed it.
I wish there was a choice of just pass rush as we do OL, because that performance from the group of rushers was impressive to say the least, so I'll send my vote to Brooks, I doubt anyone expected him to get a sack on Fields.
26 pressures x 17 = 442, Barry has job security for years if we accomplished that.

Brooks was so far under the radar nobody picked him Yoop.

My man Wyatt with 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble and had several more pressures. 
That's superstar pass rushing interior DL impact. 
Would definitely get my vote if I could give it to him.
My vote goes to Quay. Did not expect a pick 6 from a ILB.
