Tua Tagovailoa has a strong case for MVP, but so do several other stars. Let's rank the major award candidates through four games.
, with episodes released once a week. Barnwell joined ESPN in 2011 as a staff writer at Grantland. Follow him on Twitter here:. For me, that means one thing: quarter-season awards. I'm always excited to encapsulate the first month and pick my favorites in six categories: Coach of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year and league MVP.
This was a much tougher award to hand out than it seemed at first glance. I put together a short list and had a quarter of the league's coaches seemingly deserving consideration. The template for responses to this column starts with"What about" or"Forgot about"; I'll get a lot of these here. Dan Campbell? Nick Sirianni? Sean McDermott? John Harbaugh? There are too many doing impressive work.
What puts Shanahan over the top is how well his team is doing, even after losing so many coaches and front office executives over the past two seasons. In addition toDevon Witherspoon? Witherspoon was wildly impressive in his"Monday Night Football" debut, serving as a physical force around the line of scrimmage before producing a pick-12 from his own goal line. That was also comfortably his best game so far, though.
Most rookie cornerbacks struggle. Others are hid as much as possible. Gonzalez wasn't one-on-one in man coverage against top receivers like peakwas, but it's telling that Bill Belichick had no qualms about using Gonzalez as the primary cornerback against the opposing team's top wide receiver each week this season.and 59 yards per game elsewhere.
In terms of what we've seen in 2023, this was generally one of the easier awards to sift through. There's one obvious running back candidate and three wide receivers for two spots. The wideout who just came up short was Jefferson, who leads the league in receiving yards and looks unstoppable most weeks. The only knock on his record is the fumble he lost near the goal lineHill averaged 3.33 yards per route run in 2022, which is nearly unprecedented over a full season.
Jackson also has fumbled a league-high six times, which isn't great. Quarterbacks can get the blame for fumbles that come on bad snaps, but five of his six have come on strip sacks or scrambles. While Miami'sand four touchdowns over the past two games, but he has just 23 rush yards over expectation on 41 carries. Even as recently as last season, his 292 RYOE was the second-best mark in the NFL and came on a mere 112 attempts.
