Dumervil, Young, Cutler Up for Awards

December 11th, 2007 - 10:20am by Andrew

Another win equals more award nominations for the Broncos, honors that you can help them receive with your votes.

Up for GMC Defensive Player of the Week is Elvis Dumervil, who started Sunday as the cover subject of Broncos Gameday magazine and then proved there’s no jinx associated with that particular publication, notching three sacks, forcing a fumble and amassing five tackles. His three sacks took him to 11 on the season, the most for a Bronco in three years.

For Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week, it’s running back Selvin Young, who sprinted for 156 yards on just 17 carries, including a 50-yard jaunt up the left sideline on the second play of the game. Young now has an average of 83.3 yards per start in his five game-opening assignments, all of which have come since the Broncos’ Week 6 bye.

Finally, for FedEx Air Player of the Week, it’s quarterback Jay Cutler, who notched the most efficient performance of his two-season career, completing 20 of his 27 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns — two to Brandon Marshall and one each to Brandon Stokley and Daniel Graham — during the win.

    Just submitted my votes. Go Broncos!

    Wow, I can’t believe how few votes Selvin Young is getting. Fact of the matter is, only two backs in the NFL are averaging more yards per carry than Selvin. The great Adrian Peterson, and Jerious Norwood.

    I’m diggin’ the fact that these are guys that no one gave much thought to during the draft and we got ‘em and they’re demonstrating that stats, National Championship highlight reels, and the ideals for the perfect player aren’t the only predictors of success in the NFL. So, who else do we have on the roster or practice squad that will show up on the map next?

  5. broncoinexile says:

    I keep voting, but the press loves the other guys. What’s the story on that?

  6. I_Only_Like_Jay says:

    I voted and of course I definitely voted for Jay. Congrats to the guys and good luck for each of them.

  7. DeadDrunk says:

    Is there a rule that the player can’t be nominated for multiple weekly awards? I was just curious because Selvin should of been a Fedex ground nominee also.

  8. DeadDrunk says:

    Of course it doesn’t matter anyways. Going back to the Rookie of the Week back in week 10, Selvin w/ 109 yards & a TD, and Marshawn Lynch won with 61 yards & a TD….

    Sure….

  9. PhotoHoundAK says:

    Yep, not much hope for the guys on our “small market” team, no matter what their stats are. Heck, Elvis wasn’t even in the Pro-Bowl ballot when I voted…
