The
Indoor Football League (IFL) is proud to announce the Week 4
Vidswap.com Players of the Week. Two Nebraska Danger players as well as a
member of the Cedar Rapids Titans take home honors for their
performances in Week 4.
Offensive Player of the Week: Jameel Sewell (QB, Nebraska Danger)
The
Danger offense pitched as close to a perfect game as possible against
the Colorado Ice in Week 4. The Danger scored on 11 of their 12
possessions, paving the way for a 73-50 victory. The lone exception to
scoring drives came on Nebraska’s final offensive possession, which
featured the Danger “taking a knee” to run out the remaining time on the
clock. Sewell (6’3, 220, Virginia) dominated the game, completing 18 of
25 passes for 226 yards and 6 touchdowns. He added 7 rushes for 47
yards and touchdown on the ground. Sewell leads the IFL in quarterback
rating at 126.4. The Danger are off to a 2-0 start against tough
competition (Ice and Sioux Falls Storm). A win at Tri-Cities on Friday
night could make the Danger the team to beat this season.
Defensive Player of the Week: Xzavie Jackson (DL, Cedar Rapids Titans)
For
only the third time in IFL history, and the first from the defensive
side of the ball, a player has earned back-to-back player of the week
awards. Players previously accomplishing the feat include former Green
Bay Blizzard and current Cedar Rapids Titans RB Laron Council (Week
16&17, 2012) and Green Bay Blizzard KR B.J. Hill (Week 5&6,
2011). Jackson (6’3, 295, Missouri) and the rest of the Cedar Rapids
Titans proved too much to handle in a 54-12 victory over the Wyoming
Cavalry in Week 4. Jackson registered 3 tackles, all for loss, 3 sacks,
and broke up one pass against the Cavalry. Jackson and his defensive
line mates applied pressure to QB Barney O’Donnell all game, forcing an
intentional grounding for a safety as well as an interception that was
returned for a touchdown. At 4-0, the Titans head into a bye week
already matching its win total from a season ago.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Randy Bell (KR, Nebraska Danger)
For
the second consecutive week a Nebraska Danger kick returner takes home
Special Teams honors. Bell (5’10, 230, Carson-Newman) gave the Colorado
Ice headaches on Saturday night, accounting for 225 total yards. Bell
returned 6 kickoffs for 176 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown return
in the 2nd quarter. Bell also contributed on offense rushing for 33
yards on 3 carries, including a 26-yard touchdown scamper, in addition
to catching one pass for 16 yards. The Danger will need to be sharp in
all three phases of the game against a very talented Tri-Cities team on
Friday night.
