For rookie, I d go with Evan Holm.

For rookie, I d go with Evan Holm.

He's not a rookie.

[Blueforlife]

What kind of metal?

My point is he isn't likely to win MOP so we should get him some bling to show how much we appreciate his efforts.  If he wins MOP then he can give his medal back and it can be used for next year for Holm lol.  I might such at spelling you be the judge.  More a numbers guy.

he is right he played here last year.

If based on strategy, I don?t think Zach beats Kelly either. May as well go with what?s merited and have Brady for both MOP and MOC.

Yes, if you are "voting strategically" then Brady will have a better chance of beating Kelly.  So Brady gets our nod by merit and by strategy.  The league will simply not give Zach the award over feel-good, high-intensity, younger-generation, "new guy" Kelly.  But they might for Brady!  As he's also a "feel-good, high-intensity, younger-generation, new guy".

I suppose if you want a "participation trophy" type thing, then you split the award with MOC Brady, MOP Zach, but I don't like that approach.

MOD is the hardest choice... I might go for Biggie as he's had a big resurgence.  He's making plays he was having problems with the last couple of seasons.  He is slower (as in running, not twitchiness) now, but that's literally his only remaining limitation.

I'd also be fine with Nichols, Willie, Walker, Holm.  Holm might actually get it, as the "newer" guy and the fact he surprised everyone.

ST?  How about Exume?  I think he was a late pickup, but he's always in around the tackle.

Was a little surprised the Bombers selected Brady for MOP over Zach however it wasn't unanimous either.    He was my choice for both with no disrespect to Zach either who isn't far off from his 2022 MOP season.    My suspicion is that Chad Kelly will win MOP due to the hype he and the Argos have drawn throughout the league especially in the East.    Brady should win the MOC award hands down.     I don't see us winning any other awards though....WJ is a long shot for MOD

[3rdand1.5]

Betts and Brady out of the West for MOC may be a 50/50 call

Whichever player does get the nod should win at the league level

Game in and game out, BO20 is head and shoulders the better player.

Most Outstanding Special Teams Player: placekicker Sergio Castillo*
Most Outstanding Rookie: punter Jamieson Sheahan

*Indicates unanimous selectionI was a little surprised at Hardrick's getting the O lineman nod but he has played well year in and year out and would have likely been our nominee sooner if not for the outstanding career of Bryant. The rookie pickings were slim so Sheahan makes as much sense as Bennett.

Game in and game out, BO20 is head and shoulders the better player.

Agreed....outstanding and why he was chosen by the team as their MOP over Zach....

[Blueforlife]

Brady has been a beast and consistent and deserves the award.

Great list, great team.  Win or lose these are some good players.

There are 5 voters. Tait and MOS have been pretty clear that their votes were for Zach - so the other 3 must have been Brady fans.
