CFL Names Players of the Week

Published on October 29, 2003 under Canadian Football League (CFL) News Release

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

RB – CHARLES ROBERTS #1
WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS

Stats
Game #88 – Edmonton 30 @ Winnipeg 34
239 All-purpose yards, 1 TD

Faster than a hiccup and gone in a heartbeat
"Charles was a playmaker and as quick as a hiccup. His instinctive stop and go running style kept the defence honest, while he was looking for a crease. When he found one, he was gone in a heartbeat. His elusive abilities in space were amazing."

1st Runner-Up: Reggie Jones #87, Winnipeg Blue Bombers
2nd Runner-Up: Ben Cahoon #86, Montreal Alouettes

Judge: Ellison Kelly

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

DB – KENNY WHEATON #30
TORONTO ARGONAUTS

Stats
Game #87 – Calgary 12 @ Toronto 13
8 DT, 1 PKD

Purred like a Kitten
"He's a talented athlete with all the tools. He was a commanding force in a game where major scores were rare. The one thing that stands out most about his outstanding game was the surprising quickness that he showed on every play and a motor that never stopped."

1st Runner-Up: Jackie Mitchell #24, Saskatchewan Roughriders
2nd Runner-Up: Robert Grant #8, Edmonton Eskimos

Judge: Ellison Kelly

LINEMAN OF THE WEEK

DL – DORIAN BOOSE #91
EDMONTON ESKIMOS

Stats
Game #88 – Edmonton 30 @ Winnipeg 34
1 QB Sack, 4 DT

All-OR-Nothing
"Dorian did it all and was an explosive straight ahead force along the line. I saw him stuffing double team blocks at the point of attack and showing surprising quickness in pursuit. Probably the single, most impressive part of his game was the consistent all-out intensity he displayed on every play."

1st Runner-Up: Nathan Davis #98, Saskatchewan Roughriders
2nd Runner-Up: Eric England #95, Toronto Argonauts

Judge: Ellison Kelly

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

K/P – TROY WESTWOOD #7
WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS

Stats
Game #88 – Edmonton 30 @ Winnipeg 34
4 Field Goals, 16 Points

Good, Good, Good...&... Good!
"His kicking consistency was outstanding, going 4 for 4 on field goals attempts on an afternoon that was less than ideal weather wise. His kicking techniques are among the best in the CFL and he's one of the Bombers' deadliest weapons."

1st Runner-Up: Frank Cutolo #86, BC Lions
2nd Runner-Up: Paul McCallum #4, Saskatchewan Roughriders

Judge: Ellison Kelly
