Even before the season began, the mere thought of the Dallas Birddogs winning the Ultimini seemed like an impossible fact given that we were at a major disadvantage by being an expansion team; needing to build a team from the ground up. Furthermore, after the first 5 games, the Birddogs sat at 2-5 and a playoff appearance seemed even more unlikely. However, no team in the South Conference pulled away and the Birddogs were able to hang around, eventually winning 3 of their last 4 games to be in a three way tie for 2nd place and as it stands; the conference is wide open. In the last 4 games, the Birddogs have boasted the best defense in the DSFL, only allowing 15.25 points per game. Over those past 4 games, the defense has recorded 9 sacks, 2 safeties, and 2 interceptions. This formidable defense has been improving all season and it seems like now they are reaping the rewards of their TPE gains. On the other side of the ball, the offense has started to click and is maximizing by focusing on key talents like William Lim, White Goodman, Jeffrey Phillips, and they are seeing the emergence of a potential breakout star in Kichwa Jones, who has 4 touchdowns over his last four games. Quarterback Monty Jack also seems to be improving his play by upping his completion percentage and minimizing turnovers. Additionally, the Birddogs have top 3 TPE players in several positions across the DSFL, meaning they are not only highly skilled, but a very balanced team. Overall, this Birddogs team seems to be a good team who is peaking at the right time and should be a threat to contend for the Ultimini trophy over the coming weeks.
