[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Myrtle Beach Buccaneers (GMs: Dax Frost & Kacey Dream):
[/div]
A series of unfortunate events might be the best way to put Myrtle Beach’s season. Despite having the best rushing offense, MVP in Kacey Dream and one of the best defenses in the entire league, they struggled with turnovers throughout the season costing them wins and it would once again come into play in their playoff game against the Tijuana Luchadores.
Myrtle Beach Offense:
- Highest Scoring offense (382 Points For)
- Myrtle Beach had the 2nd best passing attack as they ranked 2nd in Passing Yards and 3rd in Passing TDs
- 2nd Most Rushing Yards (behind by 103 yards), 1st in Rushing TDs
QB:
Potential Losses: Brock Phoenix
Retaining: Philip Helmet
This would be Brock’s 1st season with the Buccaneers and if there was one player to compare him to, it would be his IRL Buccaneer counterpart, Jameis Winston himself. The 2nd year DSFL QB finished the regular season with an accurate 57% Completion Percentage (3rd), tremendous 2679 Yards (2nd) but a measly 12:13 TD-INT ratio.
For a team that struggled with turnovers throughout the season, one would imagine that it might be time to move on from Brock Phoenix. Although he may have been good at getting his players the ball at an above average rate, this team could use a change at the helm to move on from that ugly ratio. Untimely turnovers led to the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers getting the short end of the stick in multiple games.
Phoenix getting past 250 TPE and also getting traded in the NSFL to Philadelphia symbolizes that it may now be the end of the Brock Project (Brockject?) and it is now time for a new face to lead the offence to glory.
Phillip has not done anything in just over 3 months, so it’s fair to presume that he’s an Inactive. As a result, leaving Myrtle Beach with no real options at QB.
Position Need: A+
RB:
Potential Losses: None
Retains: Siddhu Sarvepally, Ricardo Rose, Sean Frost, DeeJay Dallas
Wow. Myrtle Beach had one of the best rushing offenses in the league last season and managed to retain everyone over the off-season. Amazing. This will be a squad to be on the lookout for once again with Siddhu Sarvepally and Ricardo Rose leading the way after promising rookie campaigns.
Siddhu Sarvepally would pretty much have an even split with Ricardo Rose in his rookie season at Myrtle Beach. The difference however, lied in the average yards/carry. Whereas Ricardo was not always the most efficient at running the ball, Siddhu dominated that category with 5.3YPC compared to Ricardo’s 4.5. Despite the even split, Siddhu would come 4th in total rushing yards with 1396, 4th in Rushing TDs with 9, 4th in YPC (Minimum 100 Rushing Attempts).
His counterpart, Ricardo Rose would operate as a more physical running backs as he specialized in endzone production while also maintaining a decent YPC at 4.5. Although it is understood that he’s not much of a home run hitter, one interesting fact that I found about Ricardo was the fact that (Outside of his bad taste in memes) he had 0 carries that went for over 20 yards, out of 277 attempts in total.
Overall, it appears as though the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers will lean on Siddhu and Ricardo once again and will be banking on the 2 to continue progressing as they update and gain more TPE. The Myrtle Beach rushing offense will be scary with this 2-headed monster
Positional Need: F
WR:
Potential Losses: Jacoby Clay (Callups), Bug Daldwin (FA), Jacob Andrews Jr (Contraction Draft)
Retains: Rayne Gordon, Drew Maddox, Kemorian Moore
Similarly to the Luchadores, the Buccaneers featured 2 of the best Wide Receivers in their offense. With Rayne Gordon and Jacoby Clay were torching the league all season long, it’s crazy to look back and realize how stacked the offense was in Myrtle Beach.
Wide.Receiver.Of.The.Year. Is there any other way to describe Rayne’s tremendous season? The draft pick from KCC was tremendous for the Bucs and went on to lead the league in receiving yards with 1195 and would finish 2nd in Average Yards/Catch (Minimum 20 Receptions) only behind to McCann III on the Luchadores. He remained consistent and effective all throughout the season and put his best foot forward when his team needed him the most against Tijuana in the playoffs. Unfortunately things would not end up working out as Myrtle Beach would eventually fall to the Luchadores.
Big Dick Jacoby Clay was a perfect compliment to Rayne Gordon on the other end. Gordon was a speedster who made a living burning the corners covering him but Clay was your hybrid big body receiver who also had big play ability and could eventually tear defenses a new one when caught slouching. One thing to note was his issues with drops, similar to Mike Evans (Who coincidentally was ALSO on the Buccaneers) Jacoby struggled with drops all season, accumulating 9 and then dropping 2 in their sole playoff game against the Luchadores. But despite all of this, the potential and work ethic is still there and if Jacoby keeps it up there’s no telling how far he will go.
At the time of writing this article it appears as though Jacoby Clay would be getting called up to play for the Austin Copperheads and Rayne will be staying back with the Bucs for another season. Although Jacoby will be missed in the passing attack, the Bucs retain an amazing receiver in Rayne who’s already coming off a season in which he was the frontrunner for Receiver of the Year (in my books) in the DSFL. Losing a 91 TPE WR in Jacob
Position Grade: B
TE:
Potential Losses: David Donaldson (Norfolk)
Retains: Judas Iscariot, Big Jim Slade
Here’s where things get interesting as Myrtle Beach had no Tight Ends worth noting. Their “best” TE was Judas Iscariot who finished the season with 186 receiving yards. All 3 of their tight ends in total? A measly 250 receiving yards.
There’s not much to say here except for the fact that we will probably see Myrtle Beach pursue a Tight End sometime over the course of the draft as their best Tight End (in terms of receiving stats) hasn’t said a word in over half a year.
Position Need: A - Only reason it’s not A+ is because TE isn’t super valued in DSFL, apparently.
OL:
Potential Losses: Hal Mon (PHI), Barry Sol (Retirement), Fajita Apellido (Retirement)
Retains: Tony Tonogai, Chas Thadsson
Once again, not a super sexy position that’s not extremely wanted come draft time. However, one thing worth noting is that Myrtle Beach only has 2 on their current roster, so it might be worth stocking back up in this massive draft class.
