Haverford Trust - Midseason Report

by Andrew Mishler

Parity has become the theme for the 2010 NFL season. The same could be said of Haverford Trust.
After eight weeks, four teams in the Bears Division are tied for first place with a 5-3 record. Executioners carries the most momentum in the division with a current three-game winning streak. He has players like Ahmad Bradshaw, Dwayne Bowe and Darren McFadden to thank for that, as each of those players has broken out in recent weeks. Most notable is McFadden, who has managed to come back from a hamstring injury to score an immense 48 points in Week 7 and 18 points in Week 8. If he continues to pile up numbers like that, then Executioners will have to be considered as the favorite to win the Bears Division. 

However, King Cobra, who also has a 5-3 record in the division, might have something to say about that down the stretch. He’s been holding Vincent Jackson in storage since the start of the season; with Jackson set to return to the Chargers for the last quarter of the season after a long holdout, King Cobra will be able to make a great addition to already powerful team, just in time for the playoffs.

In the Bulls Division, Mutley and Dancing Bears both lead the pack with a 5-3 record. Between the two of them, Dancing Bears looks more primed to break away from the rest of the division. He has a good stable of running backs in both Chris Johnson, who should be able to find some more running room with the recent addition of Randy Moss, and LeSean McCoy. The rest of his team has for the most part played solid as well this season. 

On the heels of both Dancing Bears and Mutley is a trio of 4-4 teams. Losing Tony Romo to injury dealt Lethal Weapons a huge blow to his lineup, so it now looks like Boyertown Crackers might be the one that will emerge from that group. The most notable player on his team is the recently acquired LaGarrette Blount, who has supplanted Cadillac Williams as the main running back in Tampa Bay. Boyertown Crackers also still has Peyton Manning and Steven Jackson, who are guarantees to pile up huge points week in and week out. But like Bears Division, it is a tight race, and anybody at this point could make a run.
