Here are your top players as selected by team owners for season 5. Congratulations to all who were selected, and thanks to all who voted. Let the debate begin!
QB: Max Imus - Kibwezi Choppaholix
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=38806
Max was the people's choice, and it's not hard to see why. His 4480 yards passing and 35 TD strikes led the Choppers to a 15-1 record and a #2 seed in the playoffs.
Honorable Mention QB: Koby Kesslervich & Corpsman Up!
RB: Stew Campbell - Kibwezi Choppaholix
Stew isn't listed as a starter on the Kibwezi depth chart, but that didn't slow him down. With nearly 2200 yards rushing and 52 touchdowns, he's your starting RB.
Honorable Mention: Coach Knight, Light Saber, Jookie McJookerson
FB: Tie between James Lazereous, I-Ron Head, Adian Antilles & Kurt Ross
WR1: Tilen Vek - Central African Wild Dogs
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=131965&playoffs=0
Tilen was one of four unanimous selections. His statistics are mind boggling, and defenses seemed powerless against him.
WR2: Kalmah Opeth - Chicago Killer Frogs
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=428738&playoffs=0
Garnering enough votes to rank #2 at WR was Frog stalwart Kalmah Opeth. He broke the century mark in receptions, and was always dangerous no matter the situation.
Honorable Mention: ATC Wideout
OT 1: Jumbo Costco - Namibia Piranhas
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=354224
Jumbo was an anchor for the Fish's offensive line, and had more pancakes than an IHOP.
OT2: Splinter DeShins - Casablanca Sultans
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=341962&playoffs=0
Splinter received the second highest vote total and it's not hard to see why. His punishing blocks paved the way for Casablanca's vaunted rushing attack.
Honorable Mention: Adam Pancake, Jason Nues, John Barstow & Donny Diddles
G #1: Joe Chilano - Tunis Asps
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=254192&playoffs=0
The Dean of the Chilano family of linemen, Joe garnered enough votes from his peers to earn the spot in the lineup. His blocking was nonpariel, and sparked Tunis' dramatic run to the Elephant Conference title game.
G #2: Pawel Rusin - Krakow Tigers
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player_game_log.pl?player_id=170524
Though laboring for a 3-13 squad, Rusin showed enough to get the second spot on the All-Pro roster. He's moved to USA Pro in the off-season, so the voter's confidence in him was justified.
Honorable Mention: Mack Tatupu, Bob Chilano
C: Imda Middleman - Casablanca Sultans
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=302447
Middleman anchored the line for the conference champs, and earned the top spot in the polls. He'll ply his trade in AAA next season and defensive tackles should beware.
Honorable Mention: Center O'Attention, Mrs. Miyagi
TE: Kyle Longwanger - Kibwezi Choppaholix
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=69179&playoffs=0
Kyle didn't have the most receptions of Elephant tight ends this year, but his total body of work was judged the best in the conference. He's been a mainstay of the Choppers passing attack, and deserving of the nod.
Honorable mention: Bubba King, Alexander Flash
Kicker: Three way tie - Alex Korol, Pablo Jones & Up Right
DE #1: Kodiak Gutripper - Central African Wild Dogs
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=371600
On eleven occasions during the regular season, Elephant QBs had to feel the wrath of the big bear. His ferocity earned the respect of the voters, and he's an All-Pro as a result.
DE#2: Curtis Thomas - Namibia Piranhas
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=271626&playoffs=0
Curtis brought the pain to the QB on 14 occasions, and earned a starting berth on the Pro Bowl roster.
Honorable mention: Simeon Works, Who Flung Poo
DT: Mongo Hampton - Chicago Killer Frogs
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=132262
DTs don't rack up the stats as a rule, but here's one he can bring to the bank. Mongo was the second of four unanimous All-Pro selections.
NT: Tie between Stuffin DaRun & Charles Jefferson
LB#1: Slate Rock - Tunis Asps
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=319422&playoffs=0
For ball carriers, nothing good ever comes from an encounter with "The Rock".
LB#2: Jimmy Littler - Namibia Piranhas
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=321149&playoffs=0
Jimmy's an expert pass rusher, and a sure tackler.
LB#3: Shads Baldoon - North Afrika Korps Desert Foxes
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=293071&playoffs=0
Shads was on the field a lot this season, and always made his presence felt.
LB#4: Tie - Eric Shun - Sevastopol Titans & Erique Dozier - Casablanca Sultans
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=240694&playoffs=0
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=293969&playoffs=0
Eric toiled for a terrible Titans team, but his work did not go unnoticed. Erique was nominated on two ballots, and earned the respect of the league for his combination of speed and power.
Honorable mention: Igor Kesslervich, Gap Philler, Kratos the God of War, Middle Backer
CB#1 & 2 - Three way tie between Mke Jae, Raekwon Jackson & Galen Cisco.
Honorable Mention: Number 21
SS: Mongo Payton - Chicago Killer Frogs
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=165592&playoffs=0
An average of six times a game, Mongo knocked someone goofy with one of his punishing hits. He was a near-unanimous choice for the slot.
Honorable mention: Anius Hawk
Free Safety: Cam David - Alexandria Avengers
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=605304&playoffs=0
Being a part of Alexandria last season meant that the defense would be on the field a lot. Cam took full advantage, and made a ton of tackles for the Avengers.
Punter: Nott Worthy - Sevastopol Titans
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=259566&playoffs=0
The 3rd unanimous selection had a 43.3 yard average as a punter
KR: Chandelier LaGuardia - Casablanca Sultans
5 Kicks brought to the house and a 35.7 yard return average were enough to get this filly the fourth unanimous spot on the roster.
PR: tie betweeen Bishop Minor & Larry Charles
ST: Tie between Sunny Tzu, Chandelier LaGuardia & Erwin Rommel
That's it! Congrats again to the winners.
