Who is Rookie of the Year after 8 weeks?

Gotta give Colston his props at this point. Clearly Colston and Demeco Ryans for me now.

That was a fast turn-around. I'm going to go for the loner pick and vote Drew.

I still think Jennings is the better receiver, and will show it soon enough, but when you're injured and can't play you can't prove much.

Call me a homer, I don't care. However, Demeco Ryans is proving he is worth his weight in gold for Houston's Defense. We got this guy at the best price ever! He's leading the league in solo tackles. For a rookie, that is huge.

Yeah, Colston is the hands down favorite right now.

But, what about Maurice Jones-Drew as a close 2nd? The guy is to Jacksonville what Reggie Bush was supposed to be for New Orleans. He's a playmaker, and really fun to watch. I've been playing this play-prediction game on my cell the last few weeks - and MJD gives the Jags some dynamic looks and explosiveness lacking since the departure of Jimmy Smith.

MJD has looked like crud the two games against the Texans. I can't say about any other games because I didn't watch em. He was a drive killer.

At this point you really cant consider anyone but Colston, as he just continues to pile on the numbers. In my book no one is even close.

I think the key with Colston is he has done it both with Horn in, and without. So even when he was the #1, he kept producing. That is huge for a rookie. I agree Ryans has also been huge, but I think Colston wins.

Mike · 11-15-2006, 08:46 AM

Offense and Defense is awarded.

Phicinfan · 11-15-2006, 08:50 AM

Well, there you go then. Colston AND Ryans! A can't miss win.
