S18 Ultimus Week PT
7. Next year
The New Orleans Second Line might not have made the ultimus playoffs this season, but we showed some early season success this past season that we are on the way to competing with the upper echelon of the NSFL. One reason that we will see more success next season is that the defense will be stronger with players that were rookies this season like myself and Bjorn Ironside will have a lot more TPE at the start of the season. The defense should continue to get better with lots of young pieces still gaining TPE at a rapid rate. Also, Bjorn is currently training in the frozen north somewhere that I would never venture to and I expect him to come down from that mountain ready to dominate offensive lines all season. The other reason we will be much better next season is that we have multiple high draft picks and we will bring in some top talent in the draft that will make us better on both sides of the ball. I expect New Orleans to improve for the next few seasons and maybe even get in position to win an Ultimus or two soon. It’s an exciting time to be a member of the Second Line.
8. Draft Focus
I’m not sure what the general manager and scouting team are thinking as far as the draft is concerned, but I think we focus on the front seven as much as possible. We have a strong secondary, but we need a few more pieces along the line and linebackers to put our defense up to the next level. There are quite a few prospects in the upcoming s19 draft that could be useful to the Second Line defense. There’s a couple of studs at linebacker in Mach Arianlacher and Willie B. Hardagain that will instantly boost the talent level of the front seven. There’s also a player in the draft at defensive tackle named Tormund Bjornsson that I’m quite partial to, mostly because I want Bjorn and Bjornsson to be playing right next to each other on the line. I think that would be hilarious and the team could probably make some money creating items for the team store with Bjorn and Bjornsson the dynamic defensive line duo side by side. If we were gonna add a piece to the offense we couldn’t go wrong with a receiver or even a quarterback to groom behind Stan with how many quarterbacks there are in the class.
11. Trades
There were a lot of trades that happened with the New Orleans Second Line this season. I don’t want to get in the weeds about why the trades were made and who came out on top on each trade as that has already happened. I will simply focus on how the loss of a defensive player on this team at the beginning of the season greatly impacted our potential success. The trade of Brayden Ennis was a shock heard round the NSFL as a veteran member of our front seven was traded away before the season started. Ennis was the backbone of this defense and would have helped our run defense out immensely. The evidence of this is apparent in the fact that the Austin Copperheads got a chance to play in the Ultimus playoffs while the Second Line meme machine was sitting at home, or more likely training on a remote mountaintop. Imagine Bjorn Ironside and Brayden Ennis side by side for seasons to come as the interior of our defensive line. Running backs would cower in fear and offensive linemen would only be able to dream of pancakes as they wouldn’t be getting any against such a stout defensive front.

The sim especially hated the New Orleans Second Line this season. After a hot 3-0 start to the season the sim decided the Second Line had enough wins and we suffered losses to teams that ended with losing records like the Colorado Yeti in week 4 at home. Everyone always talks about the home field advantage, but the sim had a different take on it in this game. The sim decided to give Stan Francisco, an almost maxed out quarterback five interceptions against the Yeti in week 4 in New Orleans. That’s just insane. The sim also decided the Second Line would lose 6 straight games to end the season. That included games against the Baltimore Hawks and Chicago Butchers. At worst I would expect a middle of the pack team like the Second Line to split these two games, but they ended up losing both. The sim can’t keep us down forever though. We will continue to improve and continue to add amazing talent that wants to be on the New Orleans Second Line and we will force the sim to not overlook us in the coming seasons. Most of all, we will take down those pesky Otters with their insanely high TPE defense.
