(S22) - PT1 - Runnin’ Down a Dream

While it may seem a bit out there, with plenty of players at a higher TPE level and lots of competition, Thomas Passmann would love to compete for rookie of the year. If there is any way he is able to do so, he needs to put up great stats, and his best shot would be through his speed. His speed is quite proficient for so early in his career; he can run with the best veterans and the fastest running backs. He understands that the NSFL is all about speed and he has prioritized it early, hoping to be rewarded for his calculated progression. Making the playoffs with the Arizona Outlaws would be nice too; the post season is the real season to Passmann, so making it in would be viewed as a major success. To get a taste of the playoffs in his first year in the league, it would be an impressive accomplishment. It would also be great experience for him, regardless of how the Outlaws would fare in the post season. And his last goal is to reach 450 TPE by the end of the year; a high mark considering where he is now, but one that would signify a major step forward and would be needed for significant improvement.

Quinn Hughes is coming in after their pro bowl season in the DSFL, to a struggling NSFL Outlaws team. The team is rebuilding and should be in contention in a few seasons, but at the moment the games are rough. Quinn isn’t kidding himself with his expectations for the team. Playoff chances are slim and the Ultimus is not even in the conversation in his locker room. Right now, they just want to improve, every day. That being said, who doesn’t like a little glory? Quinn certainly has his eyes on some of those rookie awards, especially the rookie DB award. Looking at the competition though, this again is a tough ask, as Quinn only had 1 year of DSFL seasoning in comparison to some of the other new guys in the NSFL. For now, Quinn keeps grinding away as the Outlaws only safety. Perhaps the Outlaws will draft one next draft and give Quinn some competition. Quinn is still looking to relive the high he got after making a pick six on his first ever play in the DSFL, in addition to achieving a safety in that game. Personal accolades are all Quinn is expecting this year until the Outlaws become the best in the west.

The mission for Lesean Paris Crooks has never changed: to be the best he can be and to lead a life with no regrets. He's not looking to steal the spotlight from any person but in due time, his shine will illuminate the entire world. Being a first-time sim player is not a challenge nor an excuse for any setbacks. Crooks always achieves his goals when his mind is determined. He's always had a Me Against the World mentality and uses any and all slights for motivation.

His first task is to prove that he was drafted too low. He plans to show everyone that passed him up in the draft wrong, and wants to make them realize their mistake every opportunity he can. He equates his situation to fellow Cal Bear alum, Aaron Rodgers, whom also had to endure the pain of teams doubting your skillset, your potential, your ability to learn, grow, adapt, acclimate, assimilate, and acquiesce within the league and its contemporaries.

Individual awards, per se, are not on the mind of Crooks. His secondary(that's a pun) objective is to elevate himself and his teammates to a level where all the critics and doubters that have no faith in his team will be left shellshocked as if they were on the front lines in Saipan or Normandy. Winning the division is the first step; advancing in the playoffs and winning the championship are the endgame; individual accolades will come naturally if the team plays at a high level.

Lastly, his mind is not on the topic at the moment, but getting drafted to the NSFL after one season is the long term achievement. Handling business accordingly will yield results. You train in hell for war so the battlefield feels like heaven.

At this point in my career I feel like a broken record. For the past 6 seasons I have been striving for one goal and one goal only and that's to win the big one. Well, so far through six seasons I have lost 2 Ultiminis and 4 Ultimus' - that to me seems like something that could a record for crying out loud. SO to answer this weeks PT my goal is not only to have a successful season - it's to win the Ultimus. I have tasted the bitter taste of defeat so many times already that anything short of a Championship win will be a disappointment. Lucky for me my Wraiths are sitting pretty and seem primed to once again make a run at this thing. In my humble opinion we are the best team in the NFSC which hasn't been an issue in the past but do we have enough to get over that AFSC hump this year? I think we do. The defence is humming on all cylinders lead by Snuggles in his last season and a young Virtanen who are leading our ferocious D. On offence an aging Cooter and Nate Swift are going to be doing everything in their power to finally bring one home. This is our year.

His entire life Galf Wilf has thought he had what it takes to be the best. He went into his first 2 seasons in the NSFL thinking the same thing he always has. He is realistic and understands that the entire team is very young right now and winning a lot of games and competing for an Ultimus title is still a year or 2 away. However, that isn't stopping him from going out on the field every week and leaving it all on the field. Losing out on Rookie of the Year was tough, but understandable. Missing out on the Pro Bowl the past 2 years, though, has really lit a fire under Wilf and he's playing with a chip on his shoulder this season. He believes he is one of the best linebackers in the league now, not in a couple of years. He thinks he's making the leap into conversations for Linebacker of the Year this season. So yeah, Galf's goals this season are to well and truly make a name for himself as one of the best in the league. He thinks that the fact his team's record isn't good enough may have swayed voters in the past so this season, he's leaving no doubt in the minds of voters that he deserves a spot on the Pro Bowl and to be in the LBotY conversation at seasons end.

This season I just want to score lol. Last year was a career best in yards and receptions for me as I was second in the league in yards with 1200+ and led all wide receivers in receptions ( not including te's or flex players). While I'm glad about that and I hope to improve those numbers even more this season I still couldn't find the end zone getting only 3 touchdowns in the season. I had a career season about 3 seasons ago with 6 touchdowns. If I can get back to 6-10 touchdowns this season id be very happy with that. If it helps us get to the playoffs I'd be pretty excited for it to happen. My expectations for the season are getting 1300 yards receiving and 8 touchdowns. That would garner another pro bowl (my third) and put me back into the conversation for wide receiver of the year. I was up for it last season but didn't get many votes as the 3 touchdowns definitely didn't help me in that regard. Wide receiver of the year and us making the playoffs are my goals this season and hopefully we get Dan Wright and Butters a championship before they retire this season.

It’s a brand new season and a first season for rookie quarterback Reginald Covington III. The ‘Gentleman’s QB’ comes with big expectations based on his lineage and playing style in college. He’s got some big goals to achieve this season and has the caliber of intelligence to back it up. As far as career bests, since it’s his first season, everything will set the tone for the rest of his DSFL (and possibly NSFL) career. There are 3 things that Reginald would like to achieve this season. The first would be to have the lowest interceptions of any quarterback in the DSFL. That’s a tall task since he will be competing against much more experienced quarterbacks with nearly every other team’s quarterback returning with full force. The second thing he’d like to accomplish is to finish his rookie season with a passer rating of greater than 80. Again, this will be tough for the rookie quarterback but doable if he can play smart and made good plays down the stretch. Last season, only Chika Fujiwara was able to accomplish this and Reginald hopes to follow in his fellow Coyotes’ footsteps. Finally, Reginald would like to finish the season strong and throw for 2000+ yards. This will probably be the most difficult since he isn’t known for his arm like other quarterbacks.
