Since the DSFL is hated by everyone and everybody, I have decided to take it into my own hands to give us the love we deserve. Without further to do, let's get into my personal all pro team. Obviously some picks will be gimmes like the MVP, OPOY, and DPOY, but most of this will be opinion based. Feel free to make your own and post it because I can guarantee you people will enjoy it. I will be only doing 1 team with a little writeup for each pick. I also will not be including bots so that the user players all get their own shine. Without further ado, let’s get into it and make this absolute masterclass of a DSFL All Pro team that can be taken as fact in your profiles.
DSFL All Pro Team
Offense
The offensive setup I went for with the DSFL All Pro team was 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 TE, and 2 OL. Obviously I have to include tight ends and there isn’t enough offensive lineman for me to justify including 5. Instead, I thought 2 seems fair, especially with the large amount of bot offensive lineman.
QB - Puddles O’Duck
This is a pretty easy pick considering Puddles was voted as the Offensive Player of the Year. You could definitely argue for Bugs, at least in my opinion, but I trust the awards committee with this pick. Puddles ended the season with 3926 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with a 100 rating. Puddles also tacked on a rushing touchdown at some point while leading the most hated team in the DSFL to 10-4 and a playoff berth. Thankfully, this system QB could not perform in the playoffs and they got first rounded.
RB - Purdy Mediocre
Purdy may not have been the best rusher at running back, but his value as a receiving back was elite. In the rushing category, he had 991 rushing yards and only 4 touchdowns. I know, this doesn’t seem like the greatest stats. However, the receiving category is what pushed him into this All Pro slot for me. Purdy had 454 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. He may not have had a nose for the endzone like some of the other backs, but he could catch and run the ball at an elite level, which puts him at the RB All Pro spot for me.
WR - Andre Benn
This right here is the easiest pick of all the positions for me. Getting the league MVP, especially as a wide receiver, is no easy task. Benn had one of the greatest, if not the greatest, DSFL wide receiver seasons of all time. Benn had 89 receptions, 1589 receiving yards, and 18 receiving touchdowns. This doesn’t help his case at all but I found it interesting that he had 14 pancakes which was tied 3rd most by a wide receiver. Anyways, Benn is the easiest pick here and was a huge part in Tijuana’s success. If the rumors of him staying down are true, he has a very good chance of repeating at MVP or at least winning OPOY.
WR - Pitter Patter
Andre Benn’s partner in crime gets the 2nd wide receiver slot here. He was actually pretty similar to Benn, but wasn’t talked about much due to Benn’s record breaking year. Patter ends with 92 receptions, 1498 receiving yards, and 17 touchdowns. Benn and Patter were both clearly the 2 best wide receivers this year, whether you like Tijuana or not. It will be interesting to see if anybody in Tijuana’s wide receiver room can step up and take Patter’s massive role in the offense.
TE - Tyler Higbee II
Tyler Higbee II had a sporadic first season to say the least. He had arguably the most electric and unexpected play in both leagues with a random 80 yard touchdown which is absurd for a tight end. It was an emotional rollercoaster watching that play. Other than that, Higbee II led all tight ends with 523 receiving yards, had 63 receptions, and was tied first for tight ends with 5 receiving touchdowns. He was a big part in this Portland offense even if he didn’t have as many yards as Woof or Irons. Pancake wise, he only had 13 but Portland used him as more of a receiving threat so that is still impressive. Leading all tight ends in most receiving categories is the main reason I would have Higbee II as the DSFL All Pro tight end.
OL1 - Dominic Reynolds
The position swapper gets a little bit more glory as an offensive lineman. Reynolds ended the year with 65 pancakes and only 1 sack allowed. He didn’t have the most pancakes. However, Ivanov, who had 73 pancakes, allowed 2 more sacks than Reynolds did. Personally, I would rather give up 2 less sacks rather than get 8 more pancakes. In my eyes, it is probably 5.5 pancakes for 1 sack. This also leaves Stack just outside from getting the nod, who had 6 less pancakes and 1 less sack allowed. All things considered, I personally would give Dominic Reynolds the nod as the OL1.
OL2 - Swantavius Stack
As mentioned before, my brain’s ratio for sacks allowed to pancakes was 5.5 pancakes for every sack allowed. That means, in my eyes at least, Stack had a better season than Ivanov. I know it may be unpopular to leave the OL with the most pancakes off of the All Pro team but I would much prefer the less sacks allowed offensive linemen if I was building a team. Pancakes are great and all but letting up sacks directly impacts the yardage on that down where a pancake is similar to just a good block. Because of these reasons, I would take Stack, who had 59 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed over Ivanov who had 73 pancakes but 3 sacks allowed.
Defensive
Defense was a weird one to set up to be honest. Based on users playing the positions and how most people play either 3-3-5 or 3–4 defense, I decided to do 1 defensive lineman (few users), 2 linebackers, and 3 defensive backs (2 CBs and 1 S). I would’ve loved to do more defensive positions but I just felt like this is where a lot of bots get chucked since most people are interested in playing on the offensive side of the ball.
DL - Luke Laraque
The defensive lineman was a tough spot to decide who was gonna be the 1 representative to be honest. Laraque had a very good defensive end season, with 40 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 7 sacks, and 1 safety. I had a very hard time determining what out values what and by how much but having technically 6 forced turnovers if you count the safety was too good to not put here. The only defensive lineman that matched that was Leo Simon Schwartz who had 4 less TFLs and 3 less sacks. Ultimately, stopping the offense is rhe main goal of the defense and turnovers do this the quickest. Because of that, I valued forced turnovers the most unless the tackles, sacks, or TFLs had a massive gap which led to Laraque getting the DL nod.
LB1 - Leopold Roy
I don’t think anybody can really get mad at this decision. Roy had an absurd linebacking year for London, leading the entire league in tackles. His final total was 111 tackles (league leader), 9 TFLs, 5 forced fumbles, 11 sacks (league leader), 1 interception, and 7 pass deflections. There was just no contesting Roy for this LB1 slot in my eyes. He did everything he needed to do to secure this spot and more, proving to be the best DSFL LB of the year.
LB2 - Duilio’s Beard
The second linebacker spot was a much tougher decision. It could’ve gone to like 4 people in my eyes. However, I settled on Beard because of his advantage in turnovers compared to the other linebackers with 100+ tackles. Beard picked up 105 tackles, 5 TFLs, 3 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 7 sacks, 1 interception, and 6 pass breakups. He was involved in every way for Kansas City, leading that defense well. Forcing 7 total turnovers was enough to push him over the likes of Speed Hawk or KC Gordon in my opinion.
CB1 - Tyrell Ramsey
Surprise, surprise, there is another Tijuana player. Ramsey did about everything you can ask out of a CB, racking up 85 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 6 interceptions, 30 pass breakups, and even managed to score a defensive touchdown. He truly did it all. Being this important of a piece on one of the best teams in the DSFL speaks levels. Putting up that statline for the season as well makes him an easy decision for the first CB slot.
CB2 - Roquefort Cotswald
Yet again, the second slot was a tough one to hand out. And yet again, I leaned on turnovers forced as the deciding factor. In my eyes, it was between Roque and Mooty here. Mooty had Roque beat in a decent amount of stats, even scoring a touchdown so I am totally fine if Mooty got the CB2 on your side. However, I lean Roque because he had 2 more interceptions on the season. Roque ended the season with 64 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 5 interceptions, and 18 pass deflections. The main part is the 5 interceptions, which was the biggest deciding factor when picking the 2nd CB. But as I said, I am fine with choosing Mooty over Roque.
S - Dewey Greenbeans
The defensive player of the year gets the nod at the one safety position. This one was as easy as they come. There just isn’t any other safety good enough to take this spot from the defensive player of the year. Dewey ended up racking up 78 tackles, 6 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 7 interceptions, 29 pass deflections, and one touchdown. He led the league in interceptions and forced fumbles which, as I have been stating the entire time, are part of that turnover category that I value highly. This made this decision even easier than I originally thought because I couldn’t even try to argue any other safety. Dewey was the defensive player of the year for a reason.
Special Teams
You know I couldn’t leave out the kickers and punters. It would be a bad look if I advocate for the kicker of the offense and then don’t even include kickers. I will do a separate kicker and punter slot just because the stats are separate and I have no clue how to decide how much their value differs lol.
K - Eye-Hardly Knower
Knower was a phenomenal kicker for Minnesota on the year. He was perfect on extra points, going 40 for 40. For field goals, he was 24 for 29 and had 2 field goals over 50 yards. He had the highest field goal percentage in the league while also having a similar volume to everybody else which gets him the nod. He also had a long of 54 which is the 2nd longest for kickers with more than 20 attempts.
P - Wynn Jenkins
Wynn had the highest yards per punt with 47.9, the most punts inside the 20 with 26, and the longest punt with a 66 yard punt. If Wynn had as much volume as some of the other punters, he would’ve led the league in all punting stats. Luckily, I don’t see volume as everything when it comes to punting so leading the league in every non volume stat. This was clearly the best punter in my eyes and hopefully gets the respect he deserves after the punting clinic he put on all season.
And that concludes my DSFL All Pro team. Remember to add DSFL All Pro S46 tonyour profile if you were included in this media post. This can be taken as fact because I was the first to post any All Pro team for the DSFL and HO has done nothing. Also, feel free to make your own and join me in ridiculing HO for not respecting the DSFL. Higbee out
