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.

Week 14 of the NFL had a lot of great performances by former Florida State Seminoles, with team highs in tackles and passing career milestones.  Lawrence Timmons was the standout Seminole among others that we will recap below.

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.

Garrison Sanborn of the Buffalo Bills was perfect on all of his snap attempts.

Shawn Powell of the Buffalo Bills made a major impact on special teams.  He had five punts land inside of the 20 yard line giving the Dolphins awful field position.  Powell averaged 45.3 yards for his seven punts.

Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals did all he could to try and knock off the Atlanta Falcons.  He finished with three solo tackles and had one pass deflection.

How The Seminoles Fared: Week 9 Of NFL

Tony Carter of the Denver Broncos had another good day on the field with two tackles and two pass break-ups.  He had one tackle in pass coverage and the other on special teams.  This makes his third game in a row with at least 2 pass break-ups.

Anquan Boldin of the Baltimore Raven had five catches for 57 yards.  Three of his catches came on the first drive of the game which led to a touchdown.  The rest of the game Boldin was only targeted three times, two catches for 27 yards and a two point conversion.  Joe Flacco and the offense sputtered much of the game as he tried and tried to hit Torrey Smith deep down the field.  Each possession Boldin caught a reception, the Ravens ended up scoring.

Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals looked like he finally put his early season injury behind him. Against the Packers, Dockett had two solo tackles and four assisted tackles including half of a sack.  His assisted sack came on the first play for the Packers for a loss of ten yards.

How The Seminoles Fared In Week 8 Of The NFL

Christian Ponder of the Minnesota Vikings was 19/35 for 251 yards with one touchdown and one interception during their loss on Thursday to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  His one touchdown pass was to Percy Harvin for 18 yards down the right sideline.  Also he was able to recover a fumble.  Ponder has been off of his game the past couple of weeks.  During the first four weeks of the season he did not throw an interception; in the past four games he has thrown seven.  He has been under a lot more pressure during this rough stretch, being sacked 11 times in these four games.  If his offensive line could get some better blocks on pass plays, Ponder could make better throws.

Letroy Guion of the Minnesota Vikings had one solo tackle.  His tackle was made on LeGarrette Blount as he tried to run behind the right guard for no gain.

Dekoda Watson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was out on special teams but did not record a tackle during their win against the Vikings.

How The Seminoles Fared In Week 7 Of The NFL


Leon Washington of the Seattle Seahawks only had two punt returns for an average of 2 yards with a long of 5 yards in their loss to the 49ers.  He also rushed twice for 4 yards.  One of his runs was up the middle for 2 yards and the other was around the left end for 2 yards. 

Kamerion Wimbley of the Tennessee Titans made four solo tackles and two assisted tackles including one sack.  During his sack on Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, Wimbley was able to force a fumble that was recovered by the Titans.  The fumble set up a touchdown to give the Titans a 28-20 lead midway through the 3rd quarter.

Nigel Bradham of the Buffalo Bills made his second career start on Sunday.  During the game,  he had three solo tackles and one assist playing defense.  While playing special teams he also had a solo tackle.  Bradham's tackles on defense were made against Chris Johnson and one on Nate Washington. 

Garrison Sanborn of the Buffalo Bills was perfect on all of his snaps in the kicking game.

Shawn Powell of the Buffalo Bills had a quiet day punting as he only made one punt for 22 yards as it sailed out of bounds.  He was perfect on all of his holds on field goal and extra point attempts.

Anquan Boldin of the Baltimore Ravens only had 3 catches for 24 yards in their loss to the Houton Texans.  Boldin and quaterback Joe Flacco could not seem to get anything going against the Texans defense.  Flacco seemed to have his eyes on Torrey Smith who was targeted 13 times and only made 4 catches.  Flacco was also picked off twice going for Smith.  Boldin saw 8 passes thrown his way.

Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals made one tackle in their loss to the Minnesota Vikings.  His tackle was made as Christian Ponder tried to scramble up the middle only making a gain of 2 yards. 

Christian Ponder of the Minnesota Vikings did not have his best day at quarterback but was able to lead his team to a win against the Cardinals.  He was 8/17 for 58 yards with one TD and 2 INTs.  Ponder did not have to do much as Adrian Peterson had a big day and the defense stepped up.  His touchdown pass was made to Percey Harvin out to the right side for 3 yards.

Letroy Guion of the Minnesota Vikings made 2 tackles and 2 assist.  Two of his tackles were made stopping the run and the other two were made stopping the pass.

Patrick Robinson of the New Orleans Saints made 7 total tackles and deflected one pass in their win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Most of the day he spend covering Mike Williams but he did make a couple of tackles in the run game. 

Antonio Cromartie of the New York Jets had one tackle and one pass deflection in the loss to the New England Patriots in overtime.  He had the duty of covering Brandon Llyod for much of the day who was held in check only grabbing one catch for 6 yards.  Cromartie did force a fumble that was overturned due to the runner being down by contact.  His tackle and pass defection were both made on the Patriots tightends.

Mike Harris of the Jacksonville Jaguars made one tackle and had 2 pass deflections against the Raiders.  His tackle was made on Marcel Reece and so were his two pass deflections. 

Sebastion Janikowski of the Oakland Raiders 4/5 on field goal attempts including the game winning 40 yard field goal.  He was also 2/2 on extra points.

Lawrence Timmons of the Pittsburgh Steelers led the team in tackles with 11 total; four were solo and seven were assisted.  He was all over the field during the first drive for the Bengals,  collecting six tackles.  Timmons was making tackles in the run and pass game it did not matter.

Geno Hayes of the Chicago Bear did not record a tackle in their win Monday night against the Detroit Lions.  Hayes was out on special teams and did see a little time as a linebacker.

Mister Alexander of the Houston Texans was out on the field for special teams but did not record a tackle in their blowout win over the Ravens.
