(S47) PT #2 - First Quarter Questions

[Soviet Sexpot]

The first games of Season 47 have been played. How is it going so far? What is your player or team doing well, what could they be doing better, and what do you think are the biggest challenges ahead? How do you see the season playing out?

When I wake up in the morning, I choose to piss greatness and shit excellence and it shows on and off the field. We're the only undefeated team in the DSFL and we are steam rolling our way to the Ultimini championship! Many have asked, Mo, why would you stay in the DSFL if the ISFL beckons? And the answer is simple.... unfinished business. Just tasting the Ultimini wasn't enough for the team and me. We want the whole enchilada, so you best believe we are putting in the time, the effort, and the reps to get the outcome we deserved last season. On an individual level, I'm pleased with the stats through 3 games. I lead amongst DE's & DT's and rank near the top in overall tackles league wide. I have a sack, I have a FF and no missed tackles. I've improved over last season and if these stats continue, it'll be one for the record books. Watch out baby, because the Royal Express train is rolling and Mo's the conductor!

Being a new create in the S48 class I have enjoyed the season so far. While my Portland Pythons have started the DSFL season 1-2, I have high hopes for our team and what we can do this season. I have accumulated a decent stat line so far throughout the first 3 games and believe it will only get better from there. Our offense has been crushing it so far which is always a nice thing to see as well.

In terms of challenges, our division is pretty loaded with good teams so trying to get in the top 2 might be difficult but as long as we keep pushing I think it can happen. This season can honestly go either way where we end up in the top or bottom of the division. It really just depends on how our matchups fair and if the sim feels like being nice to us on game days. Either way, I'm hopeful that we can pull off some nice wins this season and I think my player will have a strong Rookie Debut and end up towards the top ranks of his class before moving to the ISFL.

Season 47 is off to a fun start with parity all around. 10 of the 14 teams have at least 2 wins. The Chicago Butchers have played about as well as expected, currently sitting at a 3-2 record after 5 games. My player Dewey Greenbeans is playing fine, but there isn't much flash this season. 18 tackles through 5 games with 0 INTS or PDs is nothing to write home about. The good news is that Dewey is doing what a lot of the defense has done well this season: bent without breaking. The DBs are keeping the ball in front of them and holding the opposing offenses to a respectable 26.4 points per game. The Points For is exactly equal to the points against. The Butchers are 2nd in the league with 8 interceptions but lag behind in Sacks. If nothing changes, I see this season going about the same: .500 ball with average offense and defense. If the Butchers can dial up some successful blitzes, I foresee a slight bump in potential and maybe a repeat playoff appearance.

Honestly the start of this season has been rough for me and for the squad. To be fair though, its to be expected after winning the title in such spectacular fashion the year before. I think they call that the Super bowl hangover.  It also doesn't really help that an ISFL team decided it would be cool to change our QB's position after the dsfl draft lol. By the way, probably not the place for this, but I feel like we should make a new rule that says that position changes by an ISFL team for a player still down in DSFL should be locked in BEFORE the draft takes place. Its insane to me that you can just ruin a team's whole season by taking their QB away. But I'm not bitter... I got my ring last year.  Hopefully we'll be able to turn the ship around sooner than later, but if not, we can still sleep good at night next to that trophy.

There is no better way to start off discussing the way the season has been going for my player specifically, than to begin by discussing the Portland Pythons.

Oh gods, @wetwilleh. What a pick, and someone I have been so overjoyed to have been able to land for our first pick going into the draft. Notwithstanding that fact, he has also been muscling down play after play and really putting the Willeh Strong attitude to the test.

On top of that, we have seen some incredible purchase found filling in @SensibleDictator Tyler Higbee as our spare receiver, and he has been pulling out the stops to make that happen.

Lastly, it's quite enjoyable to see the heavy pass yardage coming out of Jonathan that I was hoping for going into this season, and I really think, especially given how well we did relative to last season, that we'll be shaking things up in the Portland locker room and making some big changes, and even bigger progress.

Last to First, incoming.

So far the Portland Pythons are figuring out our identity and who we truly are. Filled with young players eager to earn their stripes has made the team an interesting opponent every week as no one can know what to expect from us. We look forward to every week to get stronger and continue to improve. Our biggest challenge is to maintain our hungry attitude even if things take a turn for the worst. The season is still young and I expect us to make a push as it goes on. Currently our weakest spot is our defense but that is also where the Pythons have the most room to grow. Led by Willeh Strong, the defense will continue to improve and I'd expect us to start clamping down on opponents and for the Pythons to sneak into the postseason. Once there it's anyone's game and as we all know...Defense wins Championships!
