Written Option: The draft for Norfolk started in the secondary, and that stellar secondary could see them all the way to the Ultimini. Cornerback Thubba Bumper taken at 6th overall and the self proclaimed righter of the ship leads the secondary. An elite zone corner who will be able to shut down their side of the field regularly against the average wide receiver of the DSFL. Even against fellow elite players Thubba Bumper will be in good shape as long as he does not have to cover for long.
While I initially wanted to write a paragraph about each player these next two are truly a terrifying twosome and deserve credit together as they dynamite duo that they are on and off the field. Matt 'Son of Havoc' Cross and Wesley 'Handsome Face' Eriksen are the best safety tandem in the DSFL even as rookies. They work so well because Matt brings the pain as a play maker at the strong safety position, and allows Wesley to make plays as a center fielder at the free safety position. They have a friendly rivalry going on as they compete to be the first to make the play, and that drive to outdo the other will only make them better as a duo as the season progresses.
Playing opposite of Thubba at the cornerback position is Bayden Brosley another highly talented rookie prospect who has done a wonderful job with the opportunity. Another brilliant zone corner with superb hands who can make use of all the targets that will come their way. Combined with Eriksen in the deep middle and the cover three of this team should shut down all of the rookie quarterbacks they come across. That is the basis of the Seawolves defense.
Combined with that stellar secondary though is a front seven that consists mostly of send downs, but does include more than a few new stand out players. Of course my client is one that everyone knows, but the other two new nose tackles are also going to make an impact in the rotation. Eating up the middle of the line of scrimmage are the dual nose tackle terrors of Lucas Faucher and Godrick Fallstrum. All three of them might never appear on a stat sheet, however their importance is drawing double teams on the field for the rest of the defense to make plays. The unsung heroes of the defense, or they would be if not for the band I hired to sing their praises.
Flanking them is the returning Dorfus Jimbo Jr on the weak side who will benefit the most from the double teamed defensive tackles, however it is the new players that we are talking about today. The projected starting strong side end is Loin Stake a power rusher with potential to be a key part of this devastating defense. Standing next to one of the trio of terrific tackles will give him plenty of opportunities for one on one match ups that you can expect him to win with consistency against rookie tackles.
The linebacker corps of the Seawolves consists of two good send downs, along with a few new recruits of which I want to talk up two specifically. Balanced Jack Banks and speed rusher Spike Suzuki may seem quite different, but they show a key similarity for the defense of the Seawolves. A tenacity for victory that will be hard to match for opponents. While they may not stand out as much compared to some of their more boisterous companions they are nonetheless key pieces to this new Norfolk defense, and are working hard to get more time in the rotation.
Now you may think all this talk just means that I only know defense, or that Norfolk will rely too much on their offense. All it means is I saved some of the best for last. Pocket passing quarterback Luke Skywalker with their special force connection to the clutch Kevin Koh! Now of course the famous Flash Panda is the central engine of this offense, but that is just what makes Luke and Kevin so dangerous. Teams that underestimate them for rookies have already been punished in preseason, and as the season progresses you can trust them to get more dangerous as their skill develops and their connection deepens. Do not be surprised if Kevin is the best receiver of the year with how well he and Luke are developing already.
Now I said I saved some of the best for last, and to be fair every player on this list is fantastic. However one of my personal favorites is Sam Sidekick. You ever see someone side kick a ball? It is a thing of beauty, and with how potent this team is on the field you can expect to see it often. Come to the games to hang with the best folk, but stick around to see the side kick!
