It's an interesting prompt to respond to, especially as both a player and a GM on the team. The Colorado Yeti have performed similar to expectations, in my opinion. The yeet has been in effect, with Caliban and our receivers shooting up the league leaderboards, but occasional tweaks in tactics have led to some pretty big games for Drip Dad on the ground. Special teams-wise, Lux Opal has been very good, especially from 50+. On the defensive side of the ball, we are struggling by getting beaten deep quite a bit. The brightest spot on the defense is likely the linebacking corps, led by Defensive Player of the Year candidate, Melvin Murder-Moose. Moose, who continues to make big plays, racking up sacks, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, and tackles, has been unleashed since the switch to Outside Linebacker from their Middle Linebacker spot they occupied last season. Ultimately, Colorado will continue to live and die by the yeet, and if the defense can continue to be opportunistic in taking the ball away from their opponents, they have a decent shot at playoffs.
