I chose other. I am not sure who exactly to give it to, but I have to say one of the new starters on the Oline. I'm leaning towards Spain, but Billy Price is up for consideration as well.
I am also thinking Johnson deserves a shoutout because, even though he was truly awful at RG, he has had opportunities at tackle in the last two games and he has shown that he can be a valuable contributor on this line - just not on the interior. That's fine. I suspected he'd struggle at guard given he's 6'7" (taller guards tend to struggle because DTs can get under their pads and push them back into the QB's lap, whereas it is generally a benefit for tackles because it's more wingspan and length that a DE has to get around to get to the QB), but having confirmation of that and verifying that that 3 or 4 game stretch last season wasn't a fluke and he actually is valuable as a swing tackle makes me want to give him credit for this game.
And then there's Hakeem who you do have listed here, but I didn't want to choose him specifically because of the other 3 mentioned, so I went with other.
If I absolutely had to choose one of them, I think I'd go with Spain. The fact that he came in like 4 days ago and is already starting and performing as well as he did makes me very comfortable with him after a bye week starting in Week 10. I haven't watched any tape on these players to say this one did the best on a play by play basis during that game, but Spain, I think, has the highest ceiling as a guy who could legitimately overtake the previous starter once everyone is healthy.
