Tier Two - Task Ten - 400+ Words - 5 TPE
Magnus Rikiya: Three losses.
Agent Tesla: This one was much closer than the last two at least though Magnus.
Magnus Rikiya: The goal of every team is to win an Ultimus. I am lucky enough to have gone there three times with two different teams, and unlucky enough to have lost all three games.
Agent Tesla: Your first appearance saw you lose by 32 points Magnus, second saw you lose by 24 points, but this one was decided by just 3 points. You were a field goal away and I do not think there is any shame to be had in that.
Magnus Rikiya: We took them to fourth down twice on that final scoring drive and if I made the play on either of those we might have won it. No one player can account for 24 points or 32 points, but I could have made the difference of 3 points and I failed. This one is on me and being the third time just hurts that much more.
Agent Tesla: Does it hurt because it is the third, because it was that close, or honestly does it hurt more knowing that age is catching up to you?
Magnus Rikiya: My recovery after the season for competing in the World's Strongest Man is getting more difficult and when the season starts I have found myself struggling to move like I used to do. This was probably my last chance at hoisting the trophy.
Agent Tesla: You have another season in you Magnus and we will do our best to get you there for one last chance.
Magnus Rikiya: That is not fair to you or the rest of the Yeti. I should be the one doing my best to get the team there; not the other way around. I probably do have a season left in the tank, but I hate that I am going to be a borderline liability for it.
Agent Tesla: I promise you dear that the team does not feel that way in the slightest and would be happy to have you around longer. We have known that you wanted to hang it up while you still had it though, and courtesy of your top tier training I guarantee you will be in game shape this season.
Magnus Rikiya: I hope so.
Agent Tesla: Do not forget you are still in the running for Defensive Tackle of the Year this season dear. I honestly think you have a strong case for it!
Magnus Rikiya: Weird to think I had one of my best seasons when I am over the hill as a player.
Agent Tesla: Just goes to show how dedicated you are to your craft.
Magnus Rikiya: I know you are my agent, but you are also the general manager now. Shouldn't you be addressing the rest of the team?
Agent Tesla: I was your agent long before I was general manager of the Yeti. Making sure you are in a good spot is important to me. Are you going to be alright?
Magnus Rikiya: I will be now at least. Thanks.
Agent Tesla: Think nothing of it. Now time to check up on the rest of the team.
Tier Two - Task Twelve - 400+ Words - 5 TPE
I am going to pick someone who I got to learn more about courtesy of being the general manager who does awards voting for their team. Also someone who I know about fairly well from their time in the DSFL as their name came up a lot when I did my work as Highlights Princess down there. There is also the fringe benefit of the fact that I consider the user a friend and so I am sure they will not mind me singing the praises of their player some in a point task.
The player in question is rookie quarterback Dexter Zaylren of the Berlin Fire Salamanders. Despite being a rookie he finished the season sixth in the league in yards, fifth in the league in completion percentage, tied for fourth in the league in passing touchdowns, tied for the league lead in fewest passing interceptions, and finished fourth in the league in passer rating. A rookie of the year performance in my mind and surely the mind of others.
I would say that this is a considerable leap in comparison to their minor league career as they saw an increase in performance across the board despite the much stiffer competition. In the minors they got off to a rocky start in their first season completing just 207 passes on 419 attempts with a passer rating of a mere 69.7 courtesy of a sub 50% completion and a 15 to 10 touchdown to interception ratio. They improved their second year though with an 89 passer rating on 466 attempts with an almost 60% completion percentage and a full 1000 extra yards going for 3462 on the season. Their touchdown to interception ratio also improved to a 29 to 16 for a strong sophomore season. It got rough the following year as they were tasked with a bigger work load of 541 pass attempts that led to 410 fewer passing yards, 9 fewer passing touchdowns, 1 more interception, and a drop to a 69.8 passer rating. Still completing passes over 50% of the time so better than the rookie season, although not by much. Final year in the minors saw the kind of Dexter that we have seen in his rookie year in the ISFL and the one we expect to face going forward though as they completed 341 of 554 pass attempts for 4330 yards their first over 4000, their first season over 60% completion percentage, got 33 touchdowns breaking the 30 mark for the first time, with just 13 interceptions for a better than 2 to 1 ratio for the first time in their career, and lastly a 96 passer rating for their first season over 90 in their career.
Overall this season is not a huge leap compared to their last if you just look at per game statistics and efficiency metrics, but given the jump from DSFL to ISFL I am comfortable saying it is quite the leap in the grand scheme of things. Also leads to a player I am not looking forward to having to play against every season for years to come, but I do hope they manage to make Laser happy. Although not to the detriment of my dear Yeti, and on that note what they could do better is hopefully learn to be swept by the Yeti while beating down the rest of the division.
