Weekly Hard Hat Award (Game #11, vs. Cinci)

November 26, 2002 by Still Mill

Hardhat - vs. Tenn.

Reed, Stewart Win Weekly Hard Hat Award (Game #11, vs. Cinci)

Stiller K Jeff Reed and QB Kordell Stewart are the co-winners of our weekly Hard Hat Award, given to the Stiller player who best embodies the iron-tough, hard-as-steel attitude of the steel workers inside the blast furnace of a still mill.

In what might have been the most difficult Hard Hat decision since The Award's inception, the Committee deliberated into the wee hours of the night.Because no beer can be consumed until a final decision is made, the committee members finally succumbed to their thirst and came to an agreement.

 

Stewart, pressed into starting in place of the previously concussed Maddox, responded with a solid all-around effort in front of what could have been a hostile home crowd.He appeared to be mentally sharp, which corresponded into good decision making throughout the day.He threw the ball fairly accurately and ran the ball with zest.Stew also sacrificed the bod to enable Ward's long reverse run, in which Stew picked up a trailing defender, held his ground, and withstood a bruising hit, which prevented the defender from nailing Ward from the side/behind.In all, for at least one day, Stewart shook off the demons and came though in true hard hat style.

 

Reed, who last week was an unemployed kicker who�d never played in a regular season NFL game, went out on Heinz Quagmire and made 3 of 4 FGs -- including ones of 43 & 45 in the clutch -- and kicked off fairly well.On top of that, he impressed the Committee with his toughness and willingness to help out on the atrocious KO coverage, chipping in on 3 stops.�� Reed showed that he's a lunch pail kind of guy, worthy of wearing a Hard Hat.

Kudos to Jeff and Kordell for winning the weekly Hard Hat Award.Wear the Hard Hat proudly, fellas!!
