There are probably a couple legitimate choices for Player of the First Half, but United rb Ladainian Tomlinson's performance in October has pushed him towards claiming the honor. Tomlinson is not only on pace for his best season (which was last year's 252 points), but he on track track to make a run at Preist Holmes remarkable 2002 record of 301 points. Tomlinson has surpassed 20 points an incredible four times already this year, and two of them were over 30 points. In his last three games, Tomlinson has amassed 101 points (a 34 ppg average!!), which is the most ever by a in a three week span. Tomlinson has been the league's most dominant rb for the past four or five years, and this has been the most impressive start of his career.
