Little bit of fun but let’s see who you thinks deserves some accolades at the halfway point.

MVP and DPOY
Emanuel Ogbah - bit rouge but nobody on offense really has stood out to this point and while X is great and had big consideration for DPOY but Ogbah gets the nod there. Having a career year. 7 sacks, 3 FF, 3 PD, 4 TFL, 13 QB hits and tons of pressure.

OPOY
Gaskins - roughly 600 scrimmage yards and a few TDs. Not flashy but consistent. Great option albeit not a feature back.

DROY
Brandon Jones - dude is a tackling machine and fits the scheme so well, seems like a long term guy. Unspectacular but sure consistent guy who has really grown and cut down on mistakes

OROY
Austin Jackson - long term answer at LT. Only going to get stronger and better. Great pick can’t wait to see his ceiling.

Most under appreciated

Offense
Saunders - just cash money to this point. No worries when it time to kick just count it

Defense
Seiler - relentless and solid dude. Is in there on key plays making key plays. A keeper for sure.

Most improved
Raekwon Davis - slow start but Flo was excited when he was drafted and now we see why. Eating up double teams starting to flash explosiveness and get into the backfield. If they keep him focused could be a force in the middle for years.

That davis take is strange to me. I just don’t see it.

the mvp is tua. Wait til end of year it will be obvious. Analyst are already calling him a future league mvp. And for good reason. This team just took the it’s ceiling to another level even for this year.

hard to argue with ogbah he’s playing way above his physical tools level outsidand there’s a lot of scheme driving but he’s making the plays. Setting the edge and finishing on his opportunities. he’s been relative to the edge market worth every penny. It’s obvious he’s bought in.

x I still think is the best player on that defense though. There isn’t a lot of scheme driving things there.

a true difference maker at the lb level really elevates that side of the ball.

Eric rowe I see you boss.

Eric Rowe shutting down Tight End after Tight End after years of that position killing us has been a HUGE part of our pass defense. If that hole still existed, we'd be giving up a LOT more points. No way that we could go cover zero without him... and without cover zero, our pass rush wouldn't be getting it done.

Rowe is my pick for unsung player on the defense.

Unsung player on the offense can't be anyone but Jesse Davis. He's the glue.

I disagree just a little bit here. It would be nice to see him get some qb hits as his occupying blocks has enabled a few good run stops.

For reference, he's had 7 combined tackles the last two games.
Suh has a combined 4 tackles. HOWEVER, Suh also has 5 qb hits while Davis has zero.
Suh plays 70% of the snaps on D while Davis plays 50% roughly. 2 TFL.
Adding Aaron Donald in the mix, he has 7 combined tackles and 1 QB Hit. 1 TFL.

While playing 50% of the snaps it's not always easy to see impact from an interior lineman. I tend to look and see if more tackles are made by the LB's, TFL's by DE's and of course pressure. Davis has a ways to go, but I'm probably surprised that he has shown more flash than I thought originally.

I reviewed the last two weeks and he's been very solid. Not a world beater with rush, but he's been chipped a lot and occupying two blockers sometimes and remaining stout. I honestly didn't think we'd see as much as we have. I think he'll always be "if the light" is on, but he's been a contributor.

He's not most improved, but he has certainly improved.

its gonna be hard to make plays on the ball when you play in such a straight line and lack twitch and lateral range.

poa play I mean yeah it’s been not bad and for a rookie at that position it’s a plus no doubt but where’s the upside here in terms of 2 years from now?

hes a piece for the rotation I don’t know that he’s a long term piece though. Here’s the thing though you can find that in later rounds even.

but whatever the unit as a whole is playing way above its talent level and I won’t ever argue that. Those pressure packages and sticks coverages behind it the dc and Flores has come up with are money.

he’s the offensive mvp not named tua. I think I see that juice back in his legs now too. When he gets a good look tua is gonna hold them safeties and go after it with dvp.
