2010 team awards

This year's Rams team post-season awards, as voted on by the players:

Daniel F. Reeves Memorial Award (MVP): Steven Jackson.

Carrol Rosenbloom Memorial Award (Rookie of the Year): Sam Bradford.

Carl Ekern Spirit of the Game Award (leadership award): Oshiomogho Atogwe.

Ed Block Courage Award: Bradley Fletcher.

Jackson won the MVP last year, too, yet I wouldn't call him the reason the Rams went from one win to seven this year. Unless there's a rule against giving the award to rookies, I would have voted Bradford team MVP. Veterans only, then definitely Jackson.

Bradford's an easy pick for ROTY, as he should be for the whole league when that vote is taken. The Ekern award always seems to go to a defensive player, otherwise, I don't know why Jackson shouldn't win it, same argument I made last year. Fletcher's comeback from knee surgery makes him a good recipient for the Block award.

Congratulations to the award winners.
