Sit down with a star: I asked Axel Hornbacher @PDXBaller these questions
Who is the toughest receiver you faced in the playoffs and how do you think you performed?
Have you considered taking a coaching position with a team after you retire?
Why did you choose to join the Yeti, a team that has traditionally been at the bottom of the standings? Especially since you were previously on a contender in the Wraiths.
What do you think you bring the Yeti to help them improve?
Sit down with a fan: Axel Hornbacher @PDXBaller asked me these questions
How did you feel going into the NSFC playoffs against the Hawks?
We knew the Hawks were a tough team and that their regular season record didn’t do their team justice. They have a deadly offense and we knew that they would attack our DBs early and often and their defense is nothing to sneeze at either. I knew in order for us to win that game our whole team would have to be on their A-game.
What do you think the biggest problem was that led to a blowout loss for the Yeti?
We just didn’t play well at all starting with myself. I let up multiple passes that I should not have. There was one play where I should have had a pick six but I just lost concentration and dropped the ball. We as a defense just got run over and that is inexcusable. As an offense we had several good drives but turnovers and drops killed us. On the bright side these are all things that we can and will improve on.
What can you guys do to improve for next season?
Well we’ve signed some big-name free agents which is new for the Yeti. We’re a young team and having time to let our young players develop will carry us far. We as a team are proud that we made the playoffs but we all know that it’s not enough. We’re coming for the Ultimus!
What are you personally working on in the off-season to get better?
I’ve started working with a new speed coach who recently came out of retirement and is a 4 time gold medalist in the 100m dash. I noticed that in many games I would lose a step when trying to catch up to receivers and I’m hoping this new coach can help me improve this aspect of my game.
