The awards just keep piling up!!

That gives Puka 4 awards for Rookie of the week,

With two games left,

Puka should get a couple of more records by the end of the season,

to make his stats look good for the final votes,

and he should be a lock for Rookie of the Year Award.

This one was for Offensive Player of the Week. Not the Pepsi rookie of the week, which I think he will also win.

There's a lot of talk that Stroud will win it.....which would be a shame (or a sham).

I couldn't be more excited for this young man and I'm looking forward to watching him continue to grow!! He really has the makings of a long term playmaker for our Rams!!

He sure does! We currently have the league’s only Diva Free WR group. Businessmen in cleats!

If Stroud just plays "ok" when he comes back and Puka plays pretty just average for himself, he should in the award.

Yeah we didn't have a diva WR under McVay until Djax was signed. And he didn't last long. OBJ had been a diva but didn't act like one with the Rams. I like classy players.

Same here. I do t think I have seen Puka spike the ball and Kupp never does - just gives it to the ref. I love that. Some of the cellys make me laugh but I’ll take class every time. And this is coming from a former “showboat”. lol.

Barry Sanders. You know the old saying "act like you been there before"? Well, be like Barry. But it's an entertainment business and some fans like that stuff. I don't mind celebrating the CCG or SB winning touchdown but anything before that is just a touchdown.

Speaking of Barry, he's in the booth right now at the USC/Louisville Holiday Bowl Game. Joel Klatt was talking about his 2628 yard rushing season in 1988.....in 11 games!!! He had another 263 in the bowl game that year for a whopping total of 2891. Almost 3,000 yards in 12 games!

Obviously, Barry had "been there before".
