(S33) PT 3 – 7 Weeks Down

[kiddhokage]

Hello and welcome back to DSFL rookie debuts. Today we are welcoming Derrick Armstrong back to the show.

Interviewer: Welcome back to the show Derrick. Now we are noticing that you haven’t been putting up the numbers like you should be in the game. It seems like everyone on the team is excelling quite well but it seems that you are stuck in a limbo per day. What do you have to say about the improvements of your team and your shortcomings?

Derrick: Well If Im being completely honest I have been slacking in the practice field ever since my mother died. Just need to bounce back from that moment but these next upcoming games I can tell you that I will rock it. My team and I have been putting plays together and I can say that you will be shocked at the plays we have coming up. We need to keep up the running yard that we have been putting in our running backs are monsters. I think that the team we have is ever improving I just need to work on my part to be able to support my team.

Reporter: Well that’s something we could definitely hope and look forward to seeing in the future. We’ll all be watching you in these upcoming games. We all hope to see some serious improvement. Well that's all the time we have for now. We'll see you next time tuning into DSFL Rookie debuts.

The first seven games certainly hasn't gone how the Portland Pythons wanted it to go with a less than ideal 1-6 record to show for their effort. This Portland team has one glaring issue as they have the worst scoring defense in the DSFL by giving up 242 points where none of the other teams have even given up 200 points. This team certainly needs to have a change in defensive philosophy because they have the type of players that can make plays but they need to start playing more consistently if they have any hope in turning this team and season around. While the defense is partly to blame, the offense hasn't been much better either as they are second last in points scored in the DSFL. Neither side of the ball is truly helping the other which has the negative effects seen on the Portland record. These Portland players just need to continue to grow and become better players in order to be successful players in the ISFL, so while this season may have written off the Pythons, there is always next season.

The Second Line have a very young roster and going into this year we all knew it would be a bit of a struggle to win games. We're excited with the progress we've shown throughout the season and how competitive we've been throughout the year. It could obviously be better, we do only have two wins, but we've made big strides as everyone on this team develops. The one thing we do want to get better at to finish out the year is winning close games. We've lost so many one score games that were very winnable and that's what separates us from a team like Yellowknife. The game against the Wraiths is particular painful for us. We gave up a long touchdown drive after blowing a 2 score lead and then proceeded to lose in OT. If we can avoid embarrassing losses like that, we can be set up to compete in the ASFC for several years.

So there been a touch, well a load more than a touch, of bad luck at NOLA this season. Several games have coke down to the wire and unfortunately we’ve been on the wrong side of the wire. 

That’s being said, with a few small tweak particular on the offensive side of the ball, some of those tight loss maybe wins and we could be looking at a totally different season with a push for playoff football. 

Though the fault doesn’t only fall upon the offence and the defence has a few area that could be improved. The pass rush is something to be feared and is only looking to improve over the coming season. With a very young secondary the lack of experience does show through, with several large chunk plays being given up most games. 

Solving these mega issue over the off-season will be a huge boost for NOLA and their playoff chances in the next few seasons.

After 7 weeks of the league season, Yellowknife were straight up not having a good time. After a W1 win we had lost 6 in a row to languish at the bottom of the league. There was one clear adjustment that needed to be made to help out and that is putting the ball in the hands of our best players, not having Patrik Money return punts again as you might think, but throwing the ball more. Parmelee is now a top QB in the league and with the weapons of Walker, Sakura, Hunter and Brot to throw to, throwing more was definitely the strategy we needed. Welch is still a relatively low TPE RB to take on a heavy load so using the best players on the team more was necessary. The adjustments have been made and this week we have won 3 straight to get to a record that would have us in the playoffs in the other conference.
