Brock Weathers had a pretty laid back offseason. He took a trip with some family to Costa Rica and had a great time taking in the sun, swimming, and drinking a bit. That was pretty much the only away from football type stuff he did over the offseason though. The rest of the time Brock was working out and training in order to improve in what areas he could. Coming up for what will be his 4th season in the NSFL he's already regarded as one of the best linemen currently in the league and took home the hardware for that very distinction off of his S11 performance. Despite being at the top of the game he always feels like there are places he can improve upon his game as well as staying in shape in order to remain at the top. Brock has also spent a good deal of the offseason learning about his newest teammates, especially Ikaika Kolilimoku and Luke Smyles who'll be working with him in the trenches this year alongside Curtis Saul. He knows he has some big shoes to fill as he's now the alderman of the group with Kamaka gone so he needs to step up in S12

The off-season was a peaceful one for Turk Turkleton. After losing in the Ultimus final to the New Orleans Second Line, it was time for Turk to head home and spend all the time he could with his family. Out with the heavy training shedules and in with the family shedules.

Family camping and fishing trips, going to his childerns sports games, finally starting on new building projects around the house. Turk knows how to spend his time. It aint easy being on the road so much and long training days, so when you have the time off you take it by the horns. For Turk this would be the last offseason, which in a way also made him happy. It is almost time to enter a phase in his life where he can finally be the house father.

The Hawks are looking good and will be out there trying to compete for the Ultimus once again. Turk's legs are what they used to be and he expects his kicking performance to that a slight hit. He hopes despite this to still be able to put down a solid record and leave his legacy in Baltimore behind on a high note.

It was an exciting off-season for young K.J. Becker who is going into his sophomore season with the Philadelphia Liberty. In his rookie season he exceeded expectations of the coaching staff but K.J. know there is another gear he has to hit to become one of the best linebackers in the league. Becker came into the league a blitzing pass rusher with exceptional speed. That still stands but he has done some work in all areas of his game and this off-season he tried to build on that. His pass coverage skills were very good for a linebacker and Becker is hoping he can be Philadelphia's Swiss army knife when they have him on the field. Becker is hoping to pass rush some more this year and his bull rush technique got a major upgrade with some added off-season strength workouts. The team looks good this year and they are steadily improving each week. They surprised many last season when they actually finished with a better record than people had anticipated. Becker is hoping the young defense can build on last season and he is also hoping he can get some sacks. For every sack Becker gets he donates $2000 to the Wounded Warriors Foundation.

The off-season was fun and all and brought a lot of talent to San Jose both in the draft and via trade. While it was fun not having to go through the rigors of playing football, we are here to play the game and here to win the games. San Jose has the potential to make tremendous strides both on and off the field. On the field by getting more wins and off the field also by doing the same and changing many critics' opinions about us. For Joliet L. Christ, it is about a massive improvement from last season. Last season was a disappointment for JLC and while it was tough to be a rookie, he had a lot of weapons around him. Fortunately, he gets another off-season in a similar system and should be able to excel now with some development behind him and more recovery from his Season 10 Ultimini knee injury. I think the draft, bringing in Riposte, Staley, Tuck, Donaldson, the other Tuck and Williams will be great for the team. Let's also not forget the trade that brought in the Penningtons which should make the defense of San Jose one of the most feared. I think the offense and defense can both step up and be great for the team, let's get to some football! We want to play!

I spent my off-season recharging the battery, so to speak. This last season didn't go exactly as planned for the team or myself. We struggled on the field and it affected us off the field as well. That's why I just took this off-season to reset myself. I went back home to Canada and spent my time with family and friends. I wanted to go back to my roots and just remember where I came from. It was a much needed refresher.

Going into training camp, I feel better than ever. I struggled last year, but this year I am ready to dominate. Our team has improved drastically and I'm expecting bigger and better things. My quarterback, Joliet Christ, has made huge strides and that's only going to help the team. My partner in crime at wideout, Oles, and I spent a lot of time working out with Christ just to get our timing down. We are starting to feel really comfortable with each other and I think we're going to breakout this season. We've got solid pieces on defense and I really believe it's our time to compete in the NSFL. Last season was rough, but that's behind us. The SaberCats are ready to make an impact on the field.

Josh Parker spent most of his offseason with his family and did quite a bit of travelling. He spent his first season in the NSFL and it was quite the jump for him. He went to Mexico for 10 days with his fiancé and went to one of his favorite places in Cabo. They did a lot of relaxing and drank a lot of wine and Pina coladas. After he came home he was saying people might notice he is a slower next season as he had a lot of food and drinks. Hopefully that’s not the case. He also spent a majority of the off season in his hometown in Canada, it was really good for him to go back and see friends he hasn’t seen in a while. Parker is looking forward to next season already, the team is looking pretty good. He still isn’t completely sure how they are going to look but he’s hoping they are able to be a cup contender next season. There was recently a change in the general managers and coaches so hopefully that shakes things up a bit, but nonetheless he is looking forward to getting things started and hopefully becoming a plater his team can count on.

As Spencer Castle becomes the first in his family line to go to school with an athletic scholarship, his pre-pre season begins to increase in importance as time goes on. His degree in Health Sciences will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him in both his NSFL/DSFL pursuits as well as those outside of the league.

Castle was drafted with the Luchadores' first round pick this year, increasing both his value and pressure. Apparently, you wouldn't be able to guess from the seamless transition Castle and Co have made into the new locker room, though. Spencer told us earlier in the week that the Luchadores' have gone to great lengths to make Tijuana feel like home to incoming draftees. The University of Miami colors decorated his room during OTAs, as did some gifts from family members.

As Spencer looks to make the Castle name a prominent one going into the season 13 draft, he did say that his focus for now is on winning games for the Luchadores. They've done all they can for him and taken a shot so he's made a point of giving his all for them in return. All in all, it should pay off if everything goes well with a draft pick when it's time to worry about that. But for now the defensive back has been focusing on his speed as he adjusts to the wider variety of competition.
