Yep, a KO return for 24 yards, a 25 yard pass reception and a 3 yard punt return.  Not bad at all!!  I hope he gets some first-half time in the next couple games to show his true worth.  Way to go Larry!

He also made a couple of nice blocks on the panthers last drive.

 Beavers has a knack of cutting without jukimg back and forth and  having watched him for a few years IMO that make him harder to read. He just slips rigth past people..

Pierre Garcon just made a good play for the Colts against Philly. Solid catch and evasion of defender to pick up a first down. Go D3! Hope he wins that third receiver spot with Indy.

The sports station here in PHX that was up at Cards camp talked as they closed camp on Thursday that Jerheme Urban might have had the best camp of all the players in AZ's camp.  He's not in jeopardy at all as far as a roster spot goes according to all reports but it's also nice to be mentioned as "best in camp" when you're a D3 guy.

Tulsa Talons wide receiver/kick returner Jeff Hughley has been named the JLS Ironman of the Year, as selected by a vote of arenafootball2 head coaches and members of the media.

The talented Averett University alum, in his third af2 campaign, had a spectacular all-around season in 2009 as a receiver and kick returner. He set single-season league records for total all-purpose yards and total kickoff return yards as well as single-season team records for receptions and receiving yards.

With 380 total yards in Week 17, Hughley broke the league single-season record for all-purpose yards. He finished the year with a total of 4,113 (1,909 receiving, 138 missed field goal, 2,069 kickoff return, -3 rush), over 600 yards more than Quad City standout Ira Gooch's previous af2 standard of 3,472 all-purpose yards (set in 2002). Hughley averaged just over 257 all-purpose yards per game. He also surpassed Gooch for most games over 200 all-purpose yards in a single season (11 - Hughley, 10 - Gooch). He had five games of over 300 all-purpose yards. Hughley's 290 all-purpose yards in Week 18 included four kickoff returns for 133 yards and one 57-yard return touchdown. That performance upped his total kickoff return yardage to 2,069 on the season, besting the old league record of 1,943 yards set by Bossier City's Shadrick McAfee in 2003.

Hughley handled 81 kickoff returns on the year, averaging 25.5 yards per return with four return touchdowns. On five missed field goal returns, he averaged 27.6 yards and returned one for a TD.

In addition to his kickoff return prowess, the 5-foot-8, 165-pounder was a lethal receiver for the Talons, setting new team-high marks for receptions (140) and receiving yards (1,909) in a single season. He managed 100-plus yard receiving efforts in 12 of 16 regular season games played. Hughley finished third in the league in scoring (338 points), total TDs (55) and receiving TDs (50). His most impressive scoring effort came in a Week 9 win against rival Oklahoma City. Hughley caught eight passes in Tulsa's 73-46 win against the Yard Dawgz for 103 yards and a staggering seven TDs. His only non-scoring catch was a 17-yarder early in the second half.

Hughley continued his stellar play in the postseason as well. In three playoff games, he led the Talons in receiving (31-498; 166 yards per game), kick return yards (269; 1 return TD) and all-purpose yards (767) and tied for team-high honors in scoring (54 points), total TDs (9) and receiving TDs (8).

He was also a big part of Tulsa's record-setting, first round home win against Oklahoma City on August 1. He scored four total TDs (3 receiving, 1 kickoff return) as the Talons put up an all-time af2 postseason-best 90 points in a 90-75 triumph over the Yard Dawgz.

Hughley was named JLS Ironman of the Week on three occasions during the 2009 season (Week 2, Week 17 and Week 21).

With injuries to Breaston (knee) and now Boldin (hammy) Urban should see expanded PT and opportunities against the Packers Friday night.   I think it will be the first time he's had to play at the #2 spot since coming to 'zona.

Urb snagged 6 bals for 103 yards last night.  Not too shabby.

Jamal Robertson managed only 19 yards on 7 carries against the Calgary Stampeders (his first CFL team) but did lead all receivers with 11 catches for 91 yards this week.
