Week 1 Shorewood Monarchs 0 - Milwaukee Venom 30 Player-Of-The-Week is a very prestigious
award here in Venom country. It seems to get harder and harder to choose
a single player that stood out in the game, hands above the rest. Which
is why I will not be picking a single player to win this award in week
1. I will pick numerous players that had everything to do with this
seasons first win. As a whole, they did not commit any offensive penalties
or give up any sacks. They allowed 3 touchdowns to be thrown in and
2 touchdowns to be run in! They blocked for runners totalling 237 yards
on just 27 attempts (that's a crazy 8.777 yards per carry average!)
They blocked for 3 passing touchdowns on just 17 attempts (another crazy
touchdown pass every 5.5 passes!) Ladies and gentlemen, everything starts
with the big men upfront,

Week 2 Burlington Blue Devils 7 - Milwaukee Venom 6 Player-Of-The-Week, sometimes is very hard and other times very easy to choose! In this case we are dealing with the latter. This guy seems to always be around the ball, even when not making the play, taking guys out so that others may enjoy the light, if only for a short while. This week he will enjoy adorning his helmet with 4 award decals. He was unaided on a sack, alone in the backfield on two other tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and was one half tackle short of being the tackle leader! Your POTW in week two is none other than MLB #31 Chris Frese!! |

Week 3 Greendale Panthers 0 - Milwaukee Venom 36 Once again we see a game where
numerous players were eligible for P-O-T-W status! It is always hard
when choosing as many men on this team play different roles and are
worthy of mention. In this case, the numbers speak for themselves -
here are the numbers 7, 2, 122, and 17.4 What does that mean Jimmy,
you ask? Let me explain simply, 7 runs, 2 rushing touchdowns, 122 yards
and a ridiculous average of 17.4 yards per rush.
Week 4 Wisconsin
Wolfpack 12 - Milwaukee Venom 26 P-O-T-W honors this week came
against a very tough opponent on an inter-league game. A game that most
thought shouldn't be played. Well, there was one guy that I'm sure is
glad we ended up playing this game! With a very defensive battle for
most of the game and numerous players stepping up to make plays, there
was one guy who just seemed to keep showing his face. Showing his face
to the QB on a sack, to the HB on a forced fumble, again to the QB on
an interception, again on a batted pass, again to the HB on a forced
fumble, and yet again to the QB on an UGLY hit on the close sidelines
knocking off the QB's helmet and earning him the coveted "Captain
Crunch" award. He has shown his face on the "Max Award Winner"
wall, to those at the top of their game, placing it next to those with
names such as "Solomon Cabell" and "Chris Frese."
Week 5 Milwaukee
Venom 28 - Fond Du Lac Crusaders - 13 Conference games are always big,
and historically, players coming back from injury play big on their
first game back at 100%. This week, we saw the POTW at 3 different positions.
This week, we saw the POTW get check marks under forced fumbles, fumble
recoveries, tackles-in-backfield, and was just one half tackle short
of being the tackle leader! On a defense where the average amount of
tacklers per game is 20, to get 5.5 tackles is big. To get the only
two fumble recoveries in the game and force one of them himself is big.
Out of only 5 tackles-in-backfield, to be involved in one and a half
is big. Although small in stature and wearing a small jersey number,
this week being 100% after breaking his hand in the pre-season,
Week 6 Roscoe
Rush 40 - Milwaukee Venom 14 In a game that is played by a
team, and that team doesn't do it's job, it is very hard to hand out
awards. That being said, there is also those shining lights, those glimmers
of hope that beacon out and tell us to continue to fight. For even in
the blackest of night, even the smallest of light shall shine bright!
In this game, that light came from someone who's been knocking on the
coveted POTW door for 6 weeks. That light, ironically came through fighting
with a broken hand on the first play from scrimmage! That light, has
been shining in the opposing teams backfields, blinding QB's while leading
the team in sacks! In this game, he shined as tackle leader with 5,
3 on different occasions for a loss, and coming from a defense that's
no joke, when on average there are 19 different men making tackles,
this is no easy feat!
Week 7 Milwaukee Venom 13 - Muskego Hitmen 12 Besides the basics of blocking
and tackling, there are 3 aspects of the game of football. Offense,
defense, and special teams. Of these, the biggest is special teams.
In no other aspect of the game is there such a huge weight put on just
one play. Just one play that can win or loose you the contest. In this
game there were not one, not two, but three, yes three instances where
this was proven to reign true as it resounded in our ears through the
roaring of the crowd! One man was able to block not only one extra point,
but two extra point attempts. He also was crucial in obtaining an extra
point as he kicked it through the uprights himself! This man, was able
to gain 4 tackles, 1 for a loss, as well as force a fumble. All of this
and you'd think this man played SS? OLB? Think again...
Week 8 Milwaukee Venom 0 - Madison Mustangs 70 N/A
Week 9 Milwaukee
Venom 15 - Rock County Gladiators 12 Sometimes it's hard to choose
the POTW and other times it's as plain as day! In this weeks case, there
were guys that put up a fight, but only one was overwhelmingly screaming
he wanted it more! A quiet leader that doesn't use his mouth, but his
actions to prove his worth, this guy is new to The Venom this year.
He quietly fought for the starting role out of 6 possible players. He
quietly hushed the critics that said he wasn't a top 5 IFL player at
his position. He quietly rushed in 8 games for 713 yards on 115 carries,
earning him a ridiculous 6.2 yards per carry average! Considering the
defenses he's faced in the IFL, Madison, Muskego, Roscoe, Burlington,
and Rock County, this is no easy feat! Focusing on this game however,
he quietly put the offense squarely on his shoulders, and on 25 carries
he gained 160 yards from scrimmage on the IFL's #5 ranked defense (that's
an average of 6.4 yards per carry!) Always a positive speaker... when
he speaks up that is!
Week 10 Milwaukee
Venom 27 - Milwaukee Marauders 14 The POTW award usually goes to
the man who plays his position so well that everyone knows it was that
man that had the best game of anyone on the field on that day. His position?
Which one is that exactly? This man seems to play on every down, weather
it's offense, defense, or special forces. Taking the field and dominating
whenever he is needed to do so, which explains why he waited until the
last regular game of the season to win this award. (Make no mistake
about it, the players are who has control over who wins this award and
who doesn't. They just have to make more plays than the man next to
them!) Once again there were multiple guys that were nominated, but
only one man that stuck out of the crowd just a little bit more. I don't
know if it's because his head is a little lumpy or what? In this weeks
game, he caught 3 passes for 37 yards and a TD. He gained 16 yards on
a punt return. He ripped away 3 INT's from wide receivers for a total
of 77 return yards. His biggest achievement of the game? Scaring the
daylights out of the opposing kicker to the tune of having 3 kick offs
go out of bounds!! (Which should go down as his 120 yards!)
They were so afraid to put the ball in this mans hands on a kick off,
that they would rather give us the ball on the 40! Play-Offs Muskego
