Monkey's Banana Peel Award

OK OK I missed the first two weeks but I can still give the award for those weeks now, just a little late. I have decided to award one for both offense and defense.

Week 1 Offense: Seneca Wallace. You were expecting someone else? C'mon this guys has PROVEN that he deserves to be the #2.
Week 1 defense: Chuck Darby. This guy looks like an offseason STEAL to me.

Week 2 Offense: D.J. Hackett. He simply caught everything in sight, and I believe forced his way onto this roster. If we keep only 5 recievers I guarantee this guy is one of them.
Week 2 Defense: Marcus Tubbs. This one was a tough call because there were several solid defensive efforts against Dallas, including once again Chuck Darby, as well as a few others.

Week 3 Offense: Daryll Jackson. What a great game against a great conerback in Patrick Surtain. He made a top 5 cornerback look silly.
Week 3 Defense: Marcus Tubbs again. Got himself a sack and was the only guy not out of position most of the time.

Now a couple comments. I could have easily given the award offensively to Matt Hasselbeck every week, he looks like he is going to be playing in the probowl this year. He is making terrific reads, feeling the pocket well, and rifling the ball into tight places where only the recievers can make the catch. I really couldn't be more impressed with Matt than I am right now. If this continues, (and I believe it will) we will be making a serious run at the super bowl.
Our recieving corp looks pretty darn good overall to me. Bobby will do very well at the #2 position, Hackett, Urban, and Jurevicious are neck and neck from what I have seen. Pathon has been a HUGE dissapointment though, looks to me like he will be getting cut soon.

As I said before our DT position looks terrific, both Darby and Tubbs have played outstanding football so far. We have gotten better pass pressure from inside, than on the ends so far. As for our linebacking corp, the MLB position is still up in the air from what I can see. Lofa has done very well at times, but has looked tentative at others. Niko has been pushed out of position at times, but is absolutely SMACKING people out there, and to me, looks more polished.
We are really missing the attitude that Hamlin brings to the game in our secondary. When he is on the field our secondary plays much more aggressively. Babineaux has certainly come a long way from where he was last year, nice improvement there.
