Good on Smart; too bad about the one big fumble though!! I have been pretty happy with him as a returner though as he doesn't "dance" around too much and tends to run it North/South. The only problems have been a few bobbles when trying to catch kickoffs and punts. Fumbles will happen and it happened at a bad time last game but overall I have been happy with him as a returner and it seems he is so close to breaking one for a TD sometime soon

Offensive Player of the Week

RB – Jarrett Payton – Montreal Alouettes

Payton looks like a keeper. Durable back with good power and speed, if he can hold onto the ball (two fumbles last week), he'll be a big part of Montreal's offence.

Jeez... would you really want to win this award after a game that ended like the Lions game did. If I were Smart I'd have wanted the Sask kick return guy to win this past week although I heard him say on the radio that he was down and it wasn't a fumble.

Bittersweet honour for Smart.

Smart was a surprise to me. I guess I really got clouded by the late fumble.
