Martin Dorsey being left off of the first team is an absolute joke. Better numbers across the board compared to all three first team WR.

Not to mention, Dom Cozier should have made it over Bragalone.

Strikes me as pretty ridiculous that the only semi-competent offense in the PL -- save for Colgate -- doesn't have one skill position player make first team.

Bragalone had 757 yards 7 TDs in 10 games
Cozier 643 yards 8 TDS in 10 games

Based on the numbers Cozier isn't going to win that battle given Bragalone's history.

Dorsey 52 rec 663 yards 7 TDs
Portorreal 55 rec 794 yards 3 TDs
Longi 61 rec 716 yards 3 TDs
Rockett 29 rec 591 yards 2 TDs

Rockett should not be on there. Portorreal was Lehigh's best player on offense all year. Longi has been a consistent force for the Rams the last 3 years. He produced despite a terrible offense. Colgate's passing game was very pedestrian. Ives came in with more hype but somehow Rockett ends up on the postseason team. Dorsey's 7 TD receptions is pretty damn impressive give how bad the PL passing attacks were this year.

[DFW HOYA]

Finish second and just one player on the first team? Really?

Don't the postseason awards typically alone take into account PL statistics?

Also, Cozier's rushing yards per attempt is much better than Bragalone's.

DFW has a biggah beef than we do SoV imo....these post-season (and preseason) all-stah teams always end up in pissing&moaning...see it all the time in the high school ranks as well.

Ives came in with more hype but somehow Rockett ends up on the postseason team.

Ives got hurt against HC, wound up missing 3 other games, and probably wasn't completely healthy when he came back. I think he's a guy who will probably need to come up big in the playoffs if the Raiders are going to advance.

Malik Hamm is a beast! Congrats to him!

[PAllen]

Could have just named Colgate and it would have been appropriate.

I think there is some recognition as to what the running back had working for him. Crozier had a decent line. Bragalone had paper mâché.

just imagine Crozier stats wearing brown and Bargs stat wearing purple, enough said
