Week 1 BDML Players of the Week

Filed under Players of the Week
The kickoff to the 2010 BDML season was very exciting. Lots of high scores, and lots of players putting up some good numbers. But here are the top players, you’re offensive and defensive players of the week.
Felix Jones – HB – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Felix Jones in practice a few days before his big performance
Jones made his debut with the Bucs in a big way. He ran for an incredible 253 yards on only 10 carries. He also had 4 touchdown’s, all over 45 yards(49, 47, 64, 65), which is something that hardly ever happens. His performance against the Falcons will go down in history as one of the greatest rushing games of all time. His counterpart Cedric Benson also lit up Atlanta’s defense, running for almost 150 yards including a 93 dash near the end of the game. The Bucs changed a lot of things around this off season, and apparently for the better. Defenses are praying that this was a fluke day for the Tampa Bay rushing attack, but only time will tell.
Joey Porter – OLB – Miami Dolphins
- Joey Porter had a lot to smile about after his outstanding day.
Joey Porter led his team in basically every stat in the Dolphins win over the Buffalo Bills. He recorded 6 tackles, 4 of those being sacks, along with an interception and 2 forced fumbles. The Dolphins defense gave a big play for a touchdown early in the game, but this must have motivated them because it would be the only points put up by the Bills. Causing 3 turnovers in one game is always huge, as is getting 4 sacks, but rarely do you see a performance like this from just one player. If Porter continues to play this way, he could lead his defense and the Miami Dolphins to big things.
Honorable Mentions
Leron James – HB – Cincinnati Bengals 18 ATT, 269 YDS, 3 TDS, 2 REC, 26 YDS TD
Ronnie Brown – HB – Miami Dolphins 32 ATT, 204 YDS, 4 TDS
Joe Bennet – CB – Pittsburgh Steelers 3 TACK, 2 INT
