I am here to make a case for my player, Goku, as he pushes for the Defensive End of the Year award. To start I would like to preface with some award selection criteria. Last season, the DEoTY winner was quite obvious, but I was honestly surprised when I looked up the stats of some other noms. I had very similar stats to a couple lower end noms. I did a blind test for fun to some people and my stat line was always picked out as the best or second best, but never the worst. Apparently there is some bias towards selecting category leaders and not looking at the bigger picture. At the time of writing we’re just finished week 9 and Goku is having a great well rounded season and doing great in every defensive category. He is T-1st in TFLs and Safeties for defensive ends. He also has 2 force fumbles and 7 sacks, nearly one per game. With the nature of the power rusher archetype being a more balanced one, I hope it doesn’t snuff any chances out. At this point in the season I think the award would come down to Goku and one other player. We’ll have to see how the remainder of the season plays out, but I must say the new sim makes stats a lot more fun at defense.
