Danny’s back, after a year in what must have seemed like Football purgatory, Danny McManus is back in a groove and kicks off the season in fine style by claiming the title of Player of the Week. The veteran McManus, tossed four touchdown passes, collected 476 yards during his 60 minutes and led the Tiger Cats to an exciting 38-36 final last week. QB’s Casey Printers of BC and a guy named Damon Allen in Toronto were also considered for the season debut for the honours.
The Argonauts Kevin Eibin picked up the award for defensive player of the week, with his excellent performance in the Argos season opening debut last week. Eieben was awarded 8 defensive tackles and picked up another two on special teams. All part of the Argos domination of Saskatchewan on Saturday night, en-route to their 21-10 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The Ottawa Renegades’ Jerome Haywood was named linebacker of the week and Bashir Levingston picked up the honours for Specialty teams, based on his spectacular run of 105 yards to help pad the lead in the Argo season opener.
But by far the one everyone is happy for, is Danny Mac. After a full year of frustration, disheartening breaks and whispers of a career near over, he showed last week that there’s a bit of life left in those old bones just yet. Should his Tiger Cat team mates play with a similar intensity for the rest of the season, we’ll be seeing Danny picking up a few more awards of the week.
