For the Berlin Fire Salamanders, my current kneejerk take is that the defense has fallen apart and our inability to prevent sacks is killing this team. With the defense my best guess is that our linebacking core is the weakest it’s been since Season 39 when Chucky, Jordan, and Liter were all developing and still decently young. Liter and Chucky have both retired, and Jordan’s been hit with regression twice and is just below 700 TPE. The problem is that he is still our highest TPE LB since Mike Gesicki and Gaius Gleel are still super young (S42 and S43 respectively.)
The offensive line has also been cracked with regression, but still makes no sense how bad it is. I currently sit at 830 TPE and am corpsed. It obviously hurts to have your OL1 be about 350 TPE lower than their peak at the position. The issue is that Adrian is getting sacked too much for a team with 3 human OL. I’ve been on Berlin rosters where we’ve had literally 0 human OL and they haven’t allowed sacks this often. Adrian currently paces to get sacked like 75 times, and the highest I remember is Singh getting sacked like 65-70.
