(S41) PT #3 - Whoa, we're Halfway There!

[Number 82]

In a stark contrast to his rookie season in the DSFL, Emile's rookie season in the ISFL has been a quiet one. At this time last season, Emile had staked a claim as a top receiving option for the Portland Pythons and sat near the top of the league for receptions and receiving yards. Contrastingly, Emile has fallen down the depth chart in his rookie season in the ISFL, moving from WR3 to WR4 with Berlin's midseason acquisition of Ttollem Mada. While the lack of opportunities could be seen as a negative, it has not dampened Emile's outlook who remains committed to the Fire Salamanders and continues to work week in and week out to develop his skills. With a sluggish offensive performances to start the season it was natural for the team to look to bolster their receiving options. So while this resulted in less of a role for Emile, the move did improve the receiving core and added an additional veteran presence who can help Emile learn the ropes. Overall, a productive season in terms of personal development but not one in terms of on field production.

After 10 games I think it is fair to say that Mara isn't going to be breaking his receiving yards record of 1,100+. At the rate he is going, he'll be lucky to break even with his yardage from last season. The good news is that he has 6 touchdown's and has a decent shot at breaking his personal best of 8 in the season. If we dig even deeper we'll see that Matthew's drops have significantly improved with only a measly 2 drops so far despite having more receptions per game than any other season.

Matthew is definitely underperforming for his skill level but there are things to be happy about so far even though there is a lot to be frustrated with. Not as bad as a "lost season" but nothing to be overly happy about. Just have to keep hitting the gym. A hot final stretch of games would do wonders for Matthew. Regarding the Silverbacks as a team, a healthy winning streak would be amazing I'm sure we all would agree.

It’s been a weird season for Brandon and the copperheads. Despite having one of the most tpe totals in the league and ranking in the top 3 to 4 in offense and defense tpe, they sit at 4-6. Honalulu is a surprise taking down just about everyone, Nola traded their who team away, and the regular season league champion favorite outlaw, are 5-5. Not sure what to expect for the second half odd the season at this point. As for Brandon, he’s pretty happy with the first half of the season. He made the move from right tackle to left tackle this season and is doing pretty well. He currently sits in third of total user pancakes and fifth if you include bots. And only has 1 sack allowed. If that rate of production keeps up he should be a shoe in for his name being called on awards night. Looking forward to the end of the season

I was super excited during the first 4 weeks of the season, mostly. Three of the first four games, Morley had a combined stat line of 19 receptions for 363 yards and 3 touchdowns. That’s including an absolutely terrible week 3 game in which Morley didn’t record a reception. At the quarter mark of the season, Morley was second in the league in yards and touchdowns with the highest average yard per reception. After that point, though, Morley cooled down. Although he is still having a respectable season, leading the Butchers receiving room with 53 receptions, 775 receiving yards, and 5 touchdowns, he always yearns for more. That line puts Morley in the top 10 for both receiving yards and touchdowns, but unless he ups his game, he might be on the outside looking in for any post season accolades such as Pro Bowl or All Pro selection. Like his receiving numbers, he is having a pedestrian special teams season as well. Hopefully he can turn the season around and help lead the Butchers to a playoff berth.

There are plenty of things to think about when looking through the first few weeks of the season, especially the resurgence of the Otters and Hahalua, but I wanted to make a lot more hot takes regarding the Otters. Before the season, everyone thought that the offense would be the main focus of the squad, especially with the big QB acquisition in the offseason in St. Christmas, most of the ISFL thought that although promising, the defense was too young to make any kind of impact. This seemed to be wrong so far, as the defense is one of the main reasons for the team's playoff position as of writing this, former qb Shinomiya and former QB prospect Smokin Jay have helped to complete the secondary with both of them swapping to Safety, along with rookie phenom John Stark VIII leading the way for the LB core, the Otters defense is not something to be overlooked, and it will be the reason they make a deep playoff run.

Written option: React, or overreact, to the first weeks of the season. Is your player’s slow start a sign of abject failure, or are they a 100% MVP lock? Have the Hahalua sold their souls to the sim gods and already locked up an Ultimus? Is your team going to compete for a playoff spot or are they doomed for failure? Give your hot takes here.

The Chicago Butchers will make the playoffs despite having the lowest TPE for a team in the entire International Simulation Football League. Sitting at a surprising 6 wins and 4 losses through the first 10 weeks of the regular season, Chicago has a pretty mixed bag of a schedule to finish the season. With two games against the #1 and #2 teams in the NSFC (Cape Town Crash and Yellowknife Wraiths) then 4 other games against .500 or less teams (San Jose SaberCats, Baltimore Hawks, Colorado Yeti, and Berlin Fire Salamanders). I think it's completely possible that Chicago can make it to the playoffs out of the NSFC as long as they limit their turnovers offensively. We will ignore the 51-0 loss to the Sarasota Sailfish that happened in week 10. If anything, that is a kick in the ass that the Butchers needed to make sure that they stay focused.

We're officially at the halfway mark of the DSFL season with 7 of the 14 games being played already. so its time to give a reaction to 2 things, how Octavions Speedings's team the Dallas Birdogs have been performing as a team and how things are going for Speedings individually, for starters id have to say Speedings performance so far has been decent as hes top 15 in the league in receiving yards. With a season statline of around 486 yards & 4 TDs with about 16 yards per reception and this is with sharing alot of targets with fellow rookie wide receiver Keanu Calhoun, who in his own right has very much outperformed Speedings so far. with that being said Octavion is set to finish the season with just short of 1000 yards with 8 touchdowns which would be a very successful rookie season in my eyes. On the other the hand the Birdogs have been struggling immensely as they sport a 1-6 record, worse in their conference

The Orange County Otters are gonna win the whole thing. And that's not even an overreaction, it's just fact. Only games we've lost this year were rigged by the referees or something we just let the other team have to not make them feel too bad. Just look at our week 10 game against the Sabercats. A team we were tied with and should supposedly be equals to us right? Wrong! The Otters decided that the cats had gotten a little too close, so we just shut them down. Didn't even allow a single touchdown against.

And for Jamdrian LeBayers, well, he's doing alright, I guess. Looking like a similar season stats-wise as the previous one. And since the previous one was his rookie season keeping the same numbers isn't overly impressive. But there's still plenty of games left and his Hands just keep growing. I expect at least one forced turnover per game to wrap up the season!
