Tier 2 Task 7
Despite the rough season held by the Baltimore Hawks in S24, there are still plenty of bright spots on the team that deserve their recognition in the awards season spotlight. There aren’t a lot of the award ready Hawks just yet but one has risen above the rest and should run away with his respective award by either the seat of his pants or comfortably. The most deserving award for a Hawks player is Linebacker of the Year with the winner that should be Derred de Ville. Derred has been an absolute monster on the defensive front of the ball and has created disruption no matter where he goes. The only place you find him slightly slacking in is his tackle totals but how can you compete with his fellow Hawk linebacker Dex Kennedy who leads the league with 158 total tackles. De Ville sits at ninth in total tackles amongst the linebackers of the league with a whopping 117 total tackles as he patrols the defense. Two tackles for loss throw him in the top of the linebacker totals where he only is behind three positions. In the areas that he lacks, he more than makes up for as a true defensive jack of all trades player that has two forced fumbles by his hands that ties for the most with two other linebackers. His thirteen sacks throw him in second place by only one sack and Derred never got to play against an easy to sack quarterback such as Chika Fujiwara! He had to crush some of the hardest offensive lines to get to even better quarterbacks. However, you should not just think of Derred de Ville as a front man or run stopper because he also has the numbers to shut down the passing game as well. With numbers of pass disruption that would make a cornerback jealous, De Ville has two interceptions from his linebacker spot and twenty-nine passes defended. Those numbers put him on top of the linebackers with how much he has made throwing near him an absolute tragedy for opposing quarterbacks. For reference, his passes defended would top all of the cornerbacks and safeties. His talent on the field helps him put up video game style numbers that are sure to only get better as we might have yet another linebacker that starts to take over the defensive player of the year awards much like Mo Berry once did.
Tier 2 Task 8
As stated by anyone on the discord or in power ranking articles, the Baltimore Hawks were less that spectacular this season despite having more TPE than the season before. There were a lot of high hopes with an early burst out onto the S24 schedule with some great wins and some great performances. However, things quickly turned sour for us as we lost every game after the quick start and fell to a pitiful 3-13 stop with the sim deciding that luck would not be on our side at all this season. There were plenty of people that left due to not getting expansion bids which only hurt the chances of getting lucky even more as new players were coming in to try and right the ship for the end of the season. There were some glimmers of hope here and there but not enough to keep the season from being an overall mark against the best team in the league’s history. However, there are reasons to look forward to S25 as a season where the win column will be higher than the loss column. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the Hawks end up as a top contender in the playoffs and the only sour note would be not making it all the way to the Ultimus. The upstart begins with the quarterback as Chika Fujiwara finally has found the thing that has kept her from maximizing her maxed out passing attributes. The S24 season saw her on a terrible streak of interceptions that ended quickly when she found the issue and in the last five games of the season, she threw for seven touchdowns with only one interception. Imagine that ratio on an entire season and we could see a thirty touchdown season with only three to five interceptions. Next up we go to the offensive weapons around her with Darrel Williams and the incoming wide receivers. Williams has surpassed one thousand TPE over the end of the season with plenty more still being earned. Add that on with the new receivers coming in that are max earning and the offense can very well end up as a nightmare for other teams than for itself. On the defensive side of the ball, the secondary’s max earners have finally started to reach the best range for their TPE level. The added benefit of having some active defensive backs will help the team from the fast-paced passing offenses in the NSFC. Along with all of the current upside, there are some big targets in the draft that allow for the Hawks to get full advantage of who they have now. With all of that in mind, the only thing stopping the Hawks now is how much the sim hates the upgrades.
