1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Well there was one game that stood out in the first round, and it was the Outlaws facing off against the Copperheads. Many thought the Outlaws would win, as they did, but it was a close and entertaining game from the first snap of the ball. At the end of the first quarter the Outlaws were up by 2, off the back of a 10-yard rushing touchdown from Slim Shay just under 5 minutes into the game. The second quarter not much happened scoring wise besides the 1 touchdown Reese threw to Oles. Heading into halftime, with the Outlaws leading 16-7.
And, they continued to increase their lead starting the 2nd half by another touchdown as the Copperheads looked all but out as Oles celebrated his second touchdown today now leading 26-10. However, something turned around at the start of the fourth quarter. Less than a minute in Tidwell caught a touchdown pass from Cole to narrow the lead a bit. But it was a little to late to make the comeback for the Copperheads. Down by a touchdown with just under 4 minutes left, they were 46 yards away from the end zone. In the fourth quarter alone, there was 24 points scored between both teams. Too bad Oles showed up to play for Arizona he finished the game with over 100 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns.
6) Our Time:
For us in New Orleans our season ended bittersweet. Making the playoffs is always an amazing feat, but we unfortunately lost to the Ultimus Champions, the Orange County Otters in the first round. But New Orleans is looking to do even better next year, and think we can have a good shot at winning the Ultimus.
First off, we have to talk about the machine himself, Ironside. Dude earns TPE like a manic, and with him on defense and only getting better. Last season we finished 5th in points allowed with 327, with we can improve on the defensive side of the ball. We also got a good friend of mine, Johnny Slothface, who is going to be breaking 900 TPE before next season starts, and inching close to the thousand mark too.
Yeah, the defense was not the best, but our offense was even worse. New Orleans had the 3rd worst offense based on points scored last season. Thankfully, Gump was able to carry most of the offensive work, but we need a more balanced approach since teams caught on to our game plan. Next season, we need to have a better passing attack. This is where Bender needs to step up and show why he was worth the 2nd round pick he was taken at.
8) Draft Focus:
After the disappointing exit New Orleans had in the playoffs this past season it is important to keep our heads held high, and look forward to next season. However, before next season starts, we have free agency and the draft coming up. Since I am not personally involved in the war room here in New Orleans, anything I say will probably be very inaccurate but here we go anyway.
First, I do not think we need anymore wide receivers on the team because Bender is the best, and needs as much stats as he can get. I know it is selfish but why do u need more receiver when you have the best. I would say the same thing about Gump as well, the dude is an absolute animal, but I guess having a capable back up can never hurt. One position we should target would be tight end since we currently have a both playing there, and having a nice presence in the receiving and blocking game can open up a lot more space on the field.
Lastly, on the defensive side of the flied I think we need improvement through the draft. We finished tied for 8th in sacks, so we need to get some pressure on the quarterback. So I think the right move for New Orleans would be to go a Defensive linemen.
So to wrap up Defensive linemen in the first round and a tight end in the second is what I’m saying.
