8)Its hard to improve on winning it all. Yellowknife finally overcame their final hurdle and won the Ultimus after a string of crushing defeats. However this was also the last dance for a lot of the veteran players. In addition to the head coach stepping down: Cooter Bigsby had already announced his retirement; Nate Swift was traded to San Jose to get a last shot at making 10,000 career yards; Kroustis, Jackson, and Forty-Two all announced their retirements; Bender Rodriquez left in Free Agency; and Johnny Snuggles has just about managed to find 1 more season. The dominant force in the NSFC doesn’t look quite so dominant. With such a change in the guard, it’s necessary for new players to step up and make an impact.
The first way we will improve is through our new rookie who have been sent down for the past couple of seasons. Although losing an excellent trio of receivers in Swift, Jackson and Rodriguez will hurt, Mike Lee, Susan Cash Jr and Kai Sakura are going to be hot on their heels as an already solid group. While Sakura and Cash Jr don’t have the experience on the big stage yet, they should quickly become some of the best receivers in the league. Throwing to them is another one of the rookies, Colby Jack. The agile cheese himself didn’t have his best season in the DSFL last season but has applied all he learned over the past several seasons to catapult himself forward to already looking like a good contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Quarterback is a vital position for any team and Jack has big shoes to fill in the outbound Bigsby, but his career earnings so far mean he should live up to the hype.
Drafting has been part of the key to the team’s success in recent seasons, even while perennially picking at around #11. This is evidenced by the fact that there isn’t a lot of cap room for free agents this season as they’ve hit on great players in so many of the previous drafts. However, this season at #12 is even more work to ensure they can find the right players to continue the winning ways of last seasons team. Season 24 may be a more challenging season than previous for Yellowknife, other teams in the NSFC are becoming strong contenders. The pressure on he defending champs is huge but the potential of this team in the next couple of seasons should get them right back to winning ways.
