ADP's Soaring High Award

In light of the recent sensitivity across the US, I scrapped the previous name for this award. The Funky Monkey award is no more. I don't want a lawsuit from monkeys across the USA who are offended by the name. And I don't want the name scrapped when the playoffs roll around either. Its either the whole season, or I'll change the name. My apologies to the primate republic.

That said, I am introducing the 'Soaring High' Award. This is given to the guy who has made the most progress from week A to week B. Since there was no game before the Saints game, I will use the beginning of training camp as the first measuring stick.

That said, the award goes to Marquis Weeks. It was said during this whole camp that he was doing just OK...and not spectacular. Well, I feel he deserves this award just because he isn't guaranteed to be on our roster this year. Hopefully he will add this to his resume, and earn a roster spot with consistency. 59 Yards on 8 carries is pretty good...but the most important aspect of the game, was that he kept the team from releasing its grip around the Saints' throats. That is something we desperately need...no more blown games. He enabled Leonard Weaver to add the exclamaition point with his chunky yardage. Also took the pressure off of David Greene.

Congratulations to the Marquee of the Week.

Note: Im going to be doing some 'nice things' with the pictures I post...but not this week...next week, expect to see some better pictures for this award
