(S46) PT #1 - Welcome to the Team

[oilmandan]

This offseason wasn't too busy for the Honolulu Hahalua in terms of new arrivals. Out the door was standout offensive linewoman Raya Hoo'pa'i due to retirement and coming into the fold was Wario Saturday to fill in the gap in the trenches. Big shoes for Wario to fill, but we certainly all believe he can do it. And with the early struggles for that offensive line, we need Wario to get things rolling asasp. Other than that 1 for 1 swap on the roster, the team remains the same as the past season, just with another year of experience. There are fortunately some very good pieces on the way up for Honolulu that should make this a much more exciting piece in the next few seasons. A new quarteback on the horizon, a new running mate for Stetson as well, should have the Honolulu on the right track in no time

Cape Town continues its tradition of quality over quantity with this season's drafts and callups. We have our next generation QB joining the ranks in Thor Bǫllrsveifla, who is a dynamic running threat and a capable passer when the need arises. He will certainly grow into a powerhouse dual threat QB who will compliment Cape Towns fierce running game. Bolstering that running game is new acquisition Leandre Diarra, coming in at Full Back, and Scorch Von Turbo coming in to fill the RB2 slot left vacant by JHMs departure. Adding Leandre is a huge piece to the puzzle for the team to settle into a run-dominated offensive scheme, opening up blocking opportunities as well as being a decent rushing and receiving threat in their own right. And though he's still a little fresh from the DSFL, Scorch promises to be a true force to be reckoned with, providing reliable speed and explosiveness at RB2 and showcasing excellent teamwork by getting involved in the run game.

While there are still spots that need futureproofing, this team is young, hungry, and eager to prove themselves and I think will only become more of a playoff threat as the next few seasons progress.

The Colorado Yeti brought up two young players from the DSFL this season. Klaus Von Reinherz, and Pete Moss. Klaus was drafted in S45 by Colorado, with the 14th pick of the draft. His talent and promise at the OL position warranted Colorado to trade up to grab him, trading their S46 first round pick to Honolulu to move up. It’s still too early to determine if this was the correct move, but in 4 games Klaus has accumulated 23 pancakes with only 1 sack allowed.

Klaus is entering a vital role for the Yeti, protecting star QB Wolfie McDummy, isn’t an easy task, but doing so has the chance to propel this offense past the last hurdle to reach great heights.

Moving on to Pete Moss, the former linebacker was drafted at  9 overall in the season 44 draft. Before moving up to the big leagues this season, a decision was made between Moss and the front office for him to switch positions to kicker. This fills a need for the Yeti while also making use of one of Moss’ hidden talents, his legs. Kickers are often under appreciated around the league, but Colorado knows that having Moss in the role will ultimately give them a better chance at victory week in and week out.

Through the first 4 games of the season, Moss has impressively gone 10/10 on extra points and 6/8 on field goals. His only two misses were from 50+ yards out. As a true rookie kicking for the first time in his career, you can’t ask for better from Moss.

Bondi cannot add by the way of free agency due to how the DSFL works, but they made sure to address major needs through the draft and it has helped us become a more well rounded team in the long term.

We managed to add multiple receivers, a cornerback and even a new quarterback through the draft and these were all positions that never had, or no longer had starters at the position due to callups or age outs.

I believe the biggest standout will have to be Walter on the defensive end as we never had a frightening presence at the position previous to this season, so hopefully having a consistent starter at the position will allow other players to feel more comfortable in their roles. Not to mention Walter also managed to be named captain in his very first season, an honour I also had bestowed on me just a season ago.

Long story short we have developed a new core to build around, and hopefully we can turn this team into something worth talking about.

For Great Khali team Austin Cooperheads we were lucky enough too win the Championship this was Khalis first win in his career and it has been quite a long time since Austin Cooperheads since any sort of Medal in this league it was super good for the team and brought all the team closer when we go for it again this coming playoffs and season so far so well going four and zero in first four games of the season so that all being said there wasn't much need too change the team very much as we did so good last season the only thing we ended up doing noticable was bring on season 44 Gajeel Redfox a Cornerback too the team he is a Texas local player so the fans will be really stoked too have such a rookie on the roster he is also a cover corner with very good speed this should help on defensive side of the game

The New York Silverbacks have never been a particularly big spender in free agency, preferring to wait and nab up deals for players other teams overlook, or stay out of it entirely. Being much happier to build through the draft, new additions often come a year or even 2 after their selection. This year’s rookie class of Lyle Taylor at 3rd safety behind Loose Cannon and Matthew Fryers may not seem at first like a massive addition, and whilst he may not have the biggest year 1 impact, his spot as future strong safety once Fryers moves on is set and will pay dividends in further seasons.

It’s difficult to talk about other additions, as the Silverbacks S46 offseason was more about subtraction than addition, with the loss of longtime Silverbacks Regina Ferraro, and Dax Dangerfeld.

As the season goes on, the older players will build themselves back up and the newer ones will continue to improve, building a strong future, both for this season and beyond, for the New York Silverbacks.

This draft was a relatively short one, so the Copperheads just gained two new players off the board. For their first pick, they picked up a new running back from the Dallas Birddogs named Seventh Rounder (who, it turns out is better than a seventh round pick), and a new Kicker from the Norfolk Seawolves named Matthew McDairmid Jr. Both players show some pretty solid promise for Austin. Although it's still super early in the season and hard to tell for sure how they'll develop going forward, McDairmid's got a solid 100 FG% this year so far. Seventh Rounder has swapped over to wide receiver and so far it's not going half bad for him either. In his first game he caught 6 passes for 94 yards. From a locker room perspective, Rounder in particular has been a huge addition for the team. Despite not getting called up to the big leagues yet he really helps keep things popping. The future looks bright for the defending champs.
