Seems to me that Jovan Olafioye is a default choice.

2007 Joe Smith (1500yds, 18TD)Big Time wrote:Maybe sometimes but not always. Can't remember who the Lions MOP candidates were when Cam Wake was here but would him being nominated MOP be an indictment of the offense? I don't think so. To me, nominating a defensive player for MOP shows how the thinking has evolved with regards to this award. Cam Wake was the most dominant defensive player I have ever seen in the CFL yet the two years he won the defensive player award, Kerry Joseph and Anthony Calvillo won the MOP awards. Cam Wake is now a pro-bowler in the NFL while neither of those two guys ever made a dent in the NFL. Until last year, the MOP was almost exclusively an offensive player award. I like the fact that teams are thinking more broadly now.B.C.FAN wrote:Bighill is having a great year, as did Elimimian last year, but having a defensive player as the Lions' MOP is an indictment of the offence.
2008 Cam Wake (Simon "only 1400yds" made this an easy choice )
MOP has always been O-focused since that's what puts butts in the seats
