Yesterday was the finish of the regular season in the NFL and there were many former Seminoles that made their mark.  There is no better way to end the season than going out and playing your best football to set the tone for next season.  Both Lawrence Timmons of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Nigel Bradham of the Buffalo Bills had big weekend but none more than Mike Harris of the Jacksonville Jaguars.  He put a stamp on his rookie season as we will feature in our recap.

Mike Harris - Jacksonville Jaguars

His big moment came in the fourth quarter as the Titans were lining up to punt when he squeezed through the left side and blocked the punt, then picked it up and returned it for a touchdown the first of his career.  Harris started a corner for the fifth consecutive game and his sixth of the season.  He made four solo tackles and one assisted tackle.  During his rookie season he recorded 55 total tackles, one sack, six pass deflections and one interception in 15 games.

  During his four years at Florida State, Tony Carter was a force on the defense.  He was a four year starter that always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.  His career numbers went as followed: 138 total tackles with 9 interceptions, 3 of which were returned for touchdowns.  Carter also had 31 career pass deflections during his 49 games at Florida State.

  Due to some injuries for the Broncos, Tony is finally getting a chance to prove his worth for the team.  He is being primarily used as their nickle corner.  Through week 15 he has played in all 14 games and recorded 27 tackles with 2 picks, 1 returned for a touchdown and 11 pass deflections.

  We recently caught up with Tony before his game with the Baltimore Ravens this past weekend and asked him some questions about his season with the Broncos.

Tony Carter - Denver Broncos

This week Tony played on Thursday against the Oakland Raiders and had six total tackles, four solo and two assisted.  He was also able to deflect one pass and recover a fumble.  The fumble recovery came during a punt when a Broncos player muffed the kick and Tony was there to pick it up.  His actions helped to not turn the ball over deep in their own territory and it led to a field goal.

Toney Douglas has been struggling to find his shot with the Rockets.  He has come off the bench in every game and last night was no different.  He got his first minutes with five to play in the first quarter hitting a three pointer for his first shot.  When Toney can get in a rhythm he is a deadly shooter and tonight was his chance to prove it.  During the first quarter, he was 2/3 shooting with seven points.
