I'll start with the Newport Beach Neptunes, who had a rough season.



Team Summaries: Newport Beach Neptunes (League: Raiders1) – Record 7-9

It was a disappointing year for the Neptunes as they missed the playoffs for the first time in their history. In fact, their 7-9 record landed them in last place in the competitive Solar West Division. Their usually strong running game, led by Nick Chubb produced only 3.9 yards per carry behind an underachieving offensive line. Jimmy Garroppolo played well, leading a 4th-ranked passing attack, but his Week 12 injury ended his season early. The offense sputtered all season.
The perennially strong defense may have been a bigger disappointment, despite ranking 9th overall. They destroyed opposing running games, ranking 4th in the league and a league-best YPC, but yielded major yardage in the passing game and were unable to generate strong pressure after Aaron Donald was lost to injury early. Kenny Moore and Trey Hendrickson led the defensive effort with 6 interceptions and 8 sacks, respectively.

Primary lineup:
QB - Jimmy Garroppolo (3,272 yards, 31 touchdowns, 6 Int)
HB – Nick Chubb (1,257 yards rushing, 3.9 ypc, 5 TDs + 45 receptions, 614 receiving yards, 5 TDs)
WR – Tee Higgins (74 rec, 939 yds, 9 TDs)
WR – Gabriel Davis (49 rec, 452 yds, 3 TDs)
WR – Mecole Hardman (40 rec, 575 yds, 8 TDs)
TE – Trey McBride (63 rec, 693 yds, 5 TDs)
LT – Charles Leno
LG – Elgton Jenkins
C – Luke Fortner
RG – Brandon Scherff
RT – Jordan Mailata
K – (Street free agen)
P – Jamie Gillan
S – Adrian Amos (1 int)
S – John Johnson
CB – L’Jarius Sneed (1 int)
CB – Tariq Woolen (3 int)
NCB – Kenny Moore (6 int, 1 sack)
OLB – Khalil Mack (7 sacks, 2 int)
OLB – Matt Judon (5 sacks, 1 int)
ILB – Roquan Smith
DE – Trey Hendrickson (8 sacks)
DE – Sam Hubbard (5 sacks)
DT – Grover Stewart (2 sacks)
DT – Greg Gaines (1 sack)

So who's my team MVP? Chubb produced a lot, but a 3.9 ypc isn't impressive. Kenny Moore's six interceptions are very impressive, but he also missed several games with an injury. Maybe Khalil Mack with 7 sacks and 2 interceptions?
