Well, it’s over the midseason of S12 and Axel is pretty disappointed with how things have turned out. He thought that joining a championship team would mean they would still be playoff competitors. However, the New Orleans Second Line is 3rd in the ASFC and it doesn’t look like they will make the playoffs since the San Jose Sabercats and the Orange County Otters are both 9-1. New Orleans has no chance to make the playoffs now even if they win out and SJ and/or OCO lose out. There’s no chance at all for Axel to get any playoff experience in his rookie season. Hopes were very high coming into the season and Axel worked his butt off to be in shape. He’s in the best shape of his life right now and is one of the faster defensive backs on the team, but it hasn’t been enough to make an impact. He felt pretty good coming into the season with some solid wins over Yellowknife, Colorado, and Arizona, but after losing to powerhouses like Balitmore and San Jose, things are looking grim for the Second Line. Axel is opting out of his contract next season to test free agency as a result of the current season’s standings.
