Steelers Midseason Awards

[SteelerFan448]

MVP: TJ Watt - The best player on the team continues to produce and come up big in big moments.

Offensive Player of the Year: Russell Wilson - He's only played in two games, but the offense looks completely different with him under center. Najee Harris is coming on hot the past few weeks, he just wasn't the catalyst to the offensive turnaround.

Defensive Player of the Year: Cam Heyward - To avoid doubling down on Watt, Heyward has been playing terrific football. Highsmith would be in the running as well if he was healthy all year.

Rookie of the Year: Zach Frazier - Prior to the injury, he was playing excellent football and helped make a dominant interior OL for the Steelers. Beanie Bishop is coming on strong after a slow start with his huge INTs.

Biggest Surprise: Elandon Roberts - Probably our best ILB this season and a clear physical presence, especially on the goal line. Basically, he was a solid player for us last season, but has been excellent this year.

Coach of the Year: Danny Smith - I considered Tomlin and A. Smith, it's just this special teams unit has had splash plays when we've needed them and you can see the special teams unit rallying around their coach.

If I might add a category or two Steeler Fan

Unsung Hero…..our Center…..who for me,came out of nowhere and has done a great job so far. Ryan McCollum.
perseverance award…..Dan Moore JR. I think he’s done well. And I think we all know the amount of abuse thrown his way.

I’m going to have to disagree with Russ as Offensive player at the half way mark. He might end up there at the end of the year.
His 2 victories have come against 2 teams with a grand total of 5 wins. I’m not saying he didn’t look good. But I certainly have to see more. I’m going to have to give it to Naj so far. A player that I have **** on in the past. He is playing very well.
Cheers.

I would put Beanie Bishop as the biggest surprise.

Offensive player of the year, Chris Boswell. His only miss on the year is 60+. Second in the league with 23 makes. As automatic as they come.

AGREE

Offensive Player of the Year: Russell Wilson - He's only played in two games, but the offense looks completely different with him under center. Najee Harris is coming on hot the past few weeks, he just wasn't the catalyst to the offensive turnaround.

TORN
You have Boswell / Najee / who are doing it all year, Russ may end up offensive mvp, but this is 1/2 season awards ceremony

Defensive Player of the Year: Cam Heyward - To avoid doubling down on Watt, Heyward has been playing terrific football. Highsmith would be in the running as well if he was healthy all year.

You're right, WATT would be that recipient, but for sake of not doubling up............... Cam is playing way better than most thought he would.

Rookie of the Year: Zach Frazier - Prior to the injury, he was playing excellent football and helped make a dominant interior OL for the Steelers. Beanie Bishop is coming on strong after a slow start with his huge INTs.

You can't win if not in the game, Zach has been extremely effective, But we do have a UDFA rookie in the Beanie Bishop kid. He is on the field of play.

Biggest Surprise: Elandon Roberts - Probably our best ILB this season and a clear physical presence, especially on the goal line. Basically, he was a solid player for us last season, but has been excellent this year.

Agreed, but here again the Bishop kid comes into play.

Coach of the Year: Danny Smith - I considered Tomlin and A. Smith, it's just this special teams unit has had splash plays when we've needed them and you can see the special teams unit rallying around their coach.

Unanimous

I've been VERY hard on Bubbles, but am glad to finally see some fruition.


Great post SteelerFan448, thank you



Salute the nation

I'm cool with all but Deshon Elliot is DPOY. He has been easily best player not named Watt.

That guy is my favorite Steeler right now.

Gotta throw Najee some love. I was all for moving on from him but if he finishes the way he’s been playing the last few weeks he’s going to demolish his career highs in yards, and ypc and might even have a career high in touchdowns. He might make the Steelers regret declining his 6.79m 5th year option when we have to tag him for double.

Funny part is Queen is the second best ex Ratbird they got.
