Heroes and Zeroes of Week 6
Mike Harrison
I don't know how may of you noticed, but IDP stats were way down this week.
Tackles were much lower than usual with only 2 double-digit solo artists, and
unlike every previous week if you made 2 big plays this week you earned a Hero
status. Unfortunately Goats were very easy to find.
Scoring a touchdown on a big play were Thomas Howard on an interception
return, and Daryl Smith, Charles Woodson and Jason Hatcher, each with a fumble
return.

Shaun Phillips, SD |
7 tackles, 2 assists, 2 sacks, 1 fumble forced |
Poor Daunte' Culpepper was just swarmed under by the vicious Charger rush. |
|
Shawne Merriman, SD |
4 tackles, 2 assists, 2.5 sacks, 1 pass defensed |
Shawne played wingman to Phillips as they led the Chargers to a drubbing of
Oakland. |
|
Julius Peppers, CAR |
6 tackles, 1 assist, 1.5 sacks, 2 fumbles forced, 1 fumble recovered |
It's high time for the premier linemen in the league to be heard from. Last
week Jason Taylor hit the Hero list, this time its Julius with a typical
great game. |
|
Deke Cooper, CAR |
6 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 passes defensed |
Cooper combined with Peppers to torment Kurt Warner in the Panthers' easy
victory. |
|
Jared Allen, KC |
2 tackles, 1 assist, 2.5 sacks, 1 fumble forced |
Jared tied Merriman as the Sackmeister of the week with his 2.5 QB bags. |
|
Sammy Knight, JAC |
12 tackles, 1 pass defensed, 1 fumble forced |
Sammy was the top tackler of the week - one of only 2 to make the Hero list. |
|
Sean Taylor, WAS |
3 tackles, 2 interceptions, 4 passes defensed, 1 fumble forced |
Sean was the top ballhawk of the week as he knocked down many of Favre's
best efforts and stole a couple to boot. |
|
Aaron Kampman, GB |
8 tackles, 1 assist, 2 sacks |
Aaron led the Packer D in a close win over Washington. |
|
Zach Thomas, MIA |
10 tackles, 2 assists |
The Browns offensive explosion allowed Zach to pile up plenty of his
specialty. |
|
Ben Leber, MIN |
3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception, 1 pass defensed |
There were 65 points scored in the Viking-Bear match but Ben did his best to
shut down Chicago. |
|
Roman Harper, NO |
6 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 pass defensed |
The Saints are back and so is Roman. |

Marlon McCree, SD |
1 tackle |
The Hero pair of Shaun and Shawne didn't leave anything for Marlon to get
his mitts on. |
|
Adalius Thomas, NE |
1 tackle |
A strange game for the Patriot defense as they combined for only 27 solos
against Dallas. And Adalius only managed one - blahhh. |
|
Jarvis Green, NE |
1 assist |
Gee - 1 whole assist. Where was Jarvis all day? |
|
Karlos Dansby, ARI |
1 tackle |
There seems to be at least one of these a week. Karlos was the latest
Hero-to-Zero as he followed up last week's nice game with a stinker. He left
in the 1st quarter with an injury, so we'll need to keep an eye on that
situation. |
|
Napoleon Harris, KC |
1 tackle |
Napoleon did almost no conquering with his single hit. |
|
Amobi Okoye, HOU |
1 tackle |
A Hero earlier, Amobi has come back to earth a little and put up a Zero
effort Sunday. |
|
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, GB |
1 assist |
It's always all-or-nothing for Kabeer. Unfortunately, this was a nothing. |
|
LaRon Landry, WAS |
1 tackle, 1 assist |
LaRon and his brother Dawan are playing tag as they have alternated Zeroes
for 3 weeks now. This time it's LaRon's turn. |
|
Charles Tillman, CHI |
1 tackle, 1 pass defensed |
Although Charles played, he was limited by his bad ankle. |
|
Will Smith, NO |
blanked |
Like the rest of the Saints, Will got off to a slow start. Unfortunately,
he just got slower as he failed to record a stat against the outstanding LT,
Walter Jones, and justified his Week 6 Dud rating. This is his third Zero
of the season. |
