The Minnesota Grey Ducks are only 1 game into the DSFL season so far, but that one game was a pretty big loss to the Portland Pythons. Admittedly Portland does appear to be the slightly better team on paper, but the margin of victory was still rather surprising. It's also a bit concerning. Portland is slightly better than Minnesota on paper, but neither team appears to be near the top of the DSFL in terms of talent. If the Grey Ducks suffer a loss like that to the hands of a team that's likely to be middling at best, I'm a little afraid of what one of the powerhouses like Norfolk or Tijuana will do to us. Hopefully we can regroup and rebound as the season goes on.
Daron Arnold's week 1 performance was equally disappointing. Arnold was 4th on his own team in terms of defensive production, a lackluster result from what should be the star LB of Minnesota. He will continue to grow, though, so he should take his rightful place as the centerpiece of the Grey Ducks' defense soon enough.
