My player has very modest goals honestly. He is a true DSFL rookie, and knows he has a long way to go before being one of the best in the game. That being said he does want to be getting respectable numbers. I'm not looking for awards yet, but I want to be a player who no teams can write off in game plans. I hope to finish with at least 40 tackles this season, and maybe aim for 10 combined sacks and tackles for loss? I think that is a reasonable goal.

I do have one other goal though, and for a defensive lineman it might seem like a very odd one, but it is my goal nonetheless. I am hoping to lose a lot of weight this offseason! I know I know, being big is basically what I am paid for, but still, I want to try and be at a healthier body weight so I can live long after my playing days are over. CTE is already enough to worry about without having to worry about diabetes! People have warned me that if I go through with this plan, the team might not want me to play defensive tackle anymore. Thats ok with me! I know that if I lose weight, I will still be able to compete at the pro level. Just slot me in at linebacker or cornerback and watch me do my thing!

Alexander Blake has one goal this season. That goal is for it to end as quickly as possible. Blake has not been shy when asked his opinion on the minor league, otherwise known as the DSFL. He has said it's pointless, especially for a wide receiver due to the insane amount of running the ball the teams do. In 2 games so far this season in the DSFL Blake has 1 catch for 7 yards on 1 target. That's not exactly lighting the world up. I mean who could really blame him? If I were stuck on a minors team that ran the ball 60 times a game and passed only 10 I'd probably be pretty upset too as a wide receiver.

I did manage to keep Blake talking about any actual goals he had for this season and he said that honestly he just hopes that it goes smoothly as a whole. While he's not a fan of the minor league itself, he bears no ill will against his team, players, coaches, or the fans. You can't choose where you end up in the DSFL unfortunately, so there's no point in trying to fight against it.

While the season has just begun, Blake Alexander is already looking forward to its end.

I really really want to win the Ultimus this year with Dorfus Jimbo Jr. I have yet to win an Ultimus in my entire time in the National Simulation Football League, and I think that winning an Ultimus this early in Jimbo Jrs career would be a really nice way to kick off his career. The New Orleans second Line, the team that Jimbo is on, had just won the Ultimus the year before Jimbo had been called up, but because Jimbo was sent down to the Norfolk Seawolves, Jimbo Jr did not get a ring for it, which was most unfortunate. What sucks most is that the same thing happened with my last player. THe Baltimore Hawks won the Ultimus in the year that Dorfus Sr was sent down to the Norfolk Seawolves, and they have not won the Ultimus since then. Hopefully the Second Line do not follow this pattern and we can actually win it with me on the roster. The whole thing is unfortunate, I believe that I should get a ring for both Ultimus victories because I was pretty much both teams lead cheerleader, nd I provided crucial moral support, that lead us to victory. Winning n award would be pretty cool too, but I can not really hope for that, given my TPE earnings.

As a rookie, there is so much for Byron Dolls to accomplish in his first season in the NSFL. A stellar rookie campaign in the DSFL saw him win the Offensive Lineman of the Year award as a rookie, leading the league in pancakes with 66 and giving up just 1 sack. That led to being selected in the third round of the NSFL draft by the Baltimore Hawks. Dolls was called up immediately to help out on the line. Now Dolls has to follow up his stellar DSFL season with the same immediate impact in the NSFL. At this point, unless there's a drastic shift, it seems unlikely that Dolls will meet the same incredible height he did in his 1 DSFL season. But he can still pile up the right stats, and make a big positive impact. It might not be "top offensive lineman as a rookie" level of good, but so far 11 pancakes through 3 games, with 0 sacks allowed, is a good start. Finishing the season following that trend line is good enough for me to call the season accomplished. Of course, there's plenty of team results to see. It would be good to see success in the standings too, see the Hawks win some games and get to the playoffs. Would be good to see my skill boys put up good numbers too.
