If I'm building a team from scratch I'm building it to compete for the Ultimus for many seasons. And that means we need a combination of youth and experience. Let's take a look at a few key positions on both sides of the ball and let's build a contender!
We're starting with offense and what position is more important on offense than quarterback? We need someone that has put in the work (high TPE) while also having many seasons left of high level play. To me the obvious choice here is none other than Sam Howitzer. Howitzer is already well over 1000 TPE and has three seasons left before he has to worry about regression. He gives us a great window of high level competition.
Howitzer needs weapons. He needs a reliable running back to help him shoulder the load and a top flight playmaker out wide to stretch the field. Again, these seem like obvious picks. Who else would you rather have watching your back in the backfield than Captain Rogers? I mean, seriously. He's fast, he's strong, and he's got that sweet shield. A no brainer. And Jackson Kingston as your team's #1 option at wide receiver seems like a sure bet. He's as reliable as they come at the position and as an added bonus he's a stud in the return game.
Rogers and Kingston line up very well with Howitzer's timeline and gives our team multiple seasons of opportunities to bring home the title. However, I think we should always be looking toward the future as well and so our team needs a younger playmaker. Tight end James Wilkinson is an easy choice here. A candidate for offensive rookie of the year brings another dimension to what is shaping up to be an explosive offense.
Now, we can't forget about defense. I'm a defense guy and we are bringing in some absolute studs to play on this side of the ball.
Let's build a monster of a front seven. How about we start with a nominee for BOTH defensive end of the year AND defense breakout player of the year? That right, it's Brick Van Sanzo. Joining him will be a deadly duo of linebackers: Hank Winchester and Makoto Otawara. These three are all young and hungry, and they're the perfect foundational pieces to build a defense around.
Of course, no defense is complete without a devastating secondary and I've got some great names in mind. Dukburg QuakStak, Bob Roberts, and Dogwood Maple have the ability to lock down the deep threats and support that strong front seven.
So there it is: Howitzer, Rogers, Kingston, Wilkinson, Van Sanzo, Winchester, Otawara, QuakStak, Roberts, and Maple. The perfect foundational pieces to build a long term contender. Oh? They're all Silverbacks? Well, who could have guessed...?

It's week seven of the new ISFL season and unfortunately the New York Silverbacks have been ravaged by injuries. Superstar running back Captain Rogers has been diagnosed with a moderate knee sprain and is expected to miss multiple games. In addition, both Buster Bawlls and James Wilkinson have been ruled out due to an undisclosed off the field incident. Despite all of this the Silverbacks find themselves in the middle of a close game against the Berlin Fire Salamanders. New York is driving down the field, trailing by four points with just over a minute to go in the game. Sam Howitzer throws a strike to Jackson Kingston to put the Silverbacks on the Berlin 2 yard line. Unfortunately star offensive lineman Marlon Alexander tweaks his ankle on the play. New York finds themselves down another player with the game on the line. All of a sudden linebacker Jack Banks checks into the game. He's strong, he's fast, and he's big. He's exactly what New York needs to help punch this ball into the endzone. Banks lines up as a blocking tight end as the Silverbacks attempt a pass into the endzone. Incomplete. On the next play Banks lines up as an interior lineman and throws a block trying to free up Howitzer on a QB sneak. Howitzer gets closer but can't quite make it. Time is running out. One last play. Banks lines up at fullback, gets the handoff, and punches it into the endzone. Touchdown New York! Game. Over.

Imagine exploding up the field. The offensive lineman can't keep up with you. You're a blur. You get to the outside edge, blow past the running back trying to chip you, and you lay out the quarterback. What a rush. I'm Jack Banks, star linebacker for the New York Silverbacks, and striking fear into the opposition is what I do for a living. And when I do it, I'm wearing my signature Under Armour cleats.
Now you can rock the same style I do off the field with my new 'Money in the Bank' sneakers. These shoes combine the style and flash needed to play for the city that never sleeps plus the support and innovation to keep you at your best all day long. You can be the first on your block to rock a pair by following me online. Under Armour and I will be hiding pairs of these sneakers in major cities across the country and if you can unravel the clues on my website you can get your hands on a pair before they drop in stores next month.
Remember, if you absolutely need to be at your best and you need to look good doing it then look no further than Under Armour. And you can take that to the bank.
