RE: (S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals - JuOSu - 08-04-2021
Well, my player is doing alright again I suppose. It's not great, not terrible. But I am really not happy with it. It's been several seasons now since the sim switch and defensive line is still being entirely ignored. Our stats are so small compared to linebackers who lead all the categories that ought to be ours. I have like four sacks now which I can't even really complain about, though it still is laughably low. On the other hand my tackles for loss are at one now. That is just pathetic and terrible. Once again, having all the TPE is no good. And our maxes aren't even very high. We are insanely low and yet can't get anything done. I will probably bank like two full seasons of TPE because my player is entirely maxed and it is not doing him in any good in the sim, I am still performing as well as some Defensive Ends far worse than my own player in TPE. Fix defensive line please @headoffice it really isn't that hard. Hopefully the rest of the season I can still gain some more sacks and tackles for loss and boost my career numbers further but it's just been really rough.

The main aspect of Stern’s game that he wants to improve on in order to contribute more to the team is consistency. In some games, Stern is able to make game-impacting plays and cause turnovers, while in others, Stern goes radio silent and doesn’t record much at all. Becoming more consistent and making plays each and every game is very important, especially when it comes to playoffs. Having a game without having an impact could cost the team greatly.
The way Stern plans to solve this aspect of his game is to work on his competitiveness, energy, and stamina throughout the game so he doesn’t get lost on the field. Working on stamina/endurance will keep himself fresh throughout the full length of the games and into the postseason, so running some miles at practice will be a priority in the next few weeks. With becoming more competitive and playing with more energy, Stern will not lose focus during the game, so just being more aware of that could really improve Stern’s overall impact in every game to help him be more consistent. To obtain/achieve that, Stern is going to be giving more effort at practice and get more rest so he won’t lose sight of his goals. Ultimately, there’s not much else Stern can do to up his game heading into his 2nd year on contract and 3rd season with the Kansas City Coyotes as he’s an experienced veteran in the DSFL.

Overall, William Lim's game has been looking alright through most aspects so far this season. His yards per catch has somewhat increased, and his touchdown pace has came closer to what he has been getting in his prime years.
However, one aspect that is lacking in this year's Lim is the long plays. Apart from a big 76 yard touchdown and a couple 40 something yarders, most of Lim's catches has been for 20 yards or less. The reason behind that is most likely the highway robbery that is regression. As a player entering his second year of regression, Lim has been running around with un-maxed build for the first time in a very long while. Thise dents in his build include a big chunk of endurance, and smaller but more noticeable loss in agility. It is most likely that the latter part caused the decrease of long yardage plays from Lim's overall game, as it prevents him from totally shaking away corners and getting wide open enough for a big gain.
There's only one solution to this problem, namely putting TPE into agility. And that's being done as we speak, too. It is expected for Lim to gain a significant part of his lost agility back through regular season gains, although he won't make it to the max number. Hopefully, that'll result in more big plays.

Dear diary,
It's me, Marc. I guess that’s obvious. How're you doing? Is it normal to ask a diary how it's doing or is that weird? I guess it doesn’t matter to you, you’re just a bunch of paper on which I’m writing all my thoughts.
I have an important thought today and it’s about myself again. I’ve been thinking about my game a lot lately and I’m not sure I’m at the top of it yet, but I don’t know what else I can do.
This is my fifth season in the ISLF, and my pancakes numbers have kept getting higher and higher with every season. I had 70 in S26, 81 in S27, 88 in S28 and a great career high last season in S29, just making the league top-10 for the first time. I’m currently sitting tied for first in the league at 76, on pace for 135.
But I have not been consistently improving for the most important part of my job, protecting the QB. My sacks allowed numbers have been inconsistent and I was in the bottom-three of the league last season with 8 sacks allowed. Things are looking up this season as I’ve only allowed two so far, but some people still have allowed none at all and I want to reach that level.
I’m off to watch some footage of the goats to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals
Through Week 6, Siaosi Multauaopele has racked up twenty-four tackles, three forced fumbles with one recovery, one sack, and one pass deflection. Overall, I’m very happy with his stats at the midway point of the season, especially in comparison to his safety brethren. Among all safeties, he is tied for 2nd overall in tackles. He is also 3rd in the DSFL in forced fumbles. At this point, my biggest short-term goal for my player is to continue playing at this level. There have been a couple of games so far in the season with only one tackle. It would be nice to avoid duds like that as the season continues. The one thing I’m looking forward to the most this season is Siaosi getting his first career interception. A goal that is a bit more out there is becoming the leader in turnovers generated in the DSFL. Not among rookies or safeties. Among the whole dang league. It’s not a terribly outlandish goal, but it is one that will take a great deal of luck to achieve. By the end of the season, I would like my player to have at least fifty tackles, 5 forced fumbles, two sacks, one interception, and three pass deflections. These stats don’t look too outlandish based on how the season has gone so far, but it sure will take the sim continuing to cooperate with me. If this is Siaosi’s stat line at the end of the regular season, I would be ecstatic.

John Huntsman is in the dog days of his DSFL career. Season one went surprisingly well with the switch to running back and the Minnesota Grey Ducks having a positive season, but narrowly missing the playoffs due to division alignments. Huntsman was recognized as a nomination for the Offensive Rookie of the Year in the DSFL awards and frankly overlooked in other category nominations. Nomination is as far as Huntsman would get though.
Season two was more exciting with Huntsman being a send down for the hot Sarasota Sailfish and the potential successor to the running back position. Huntsman controlled the leaderboards in the DSFL throughout the season and earned nominations for Offensive Most Valuable Player, League Most Valuable Player, and Running Back of the Year. Huntsman’s dominance might have led Minnesota to their Ultimini win, but award voters must have been bored by Minnesota and gave recognition to other running backs down the lists.
Season three is upon us and Huntsman continues to run the ball. The magic of the DSFL, award potential, and development has gone from a roaring fire to a flickering ember. I guess the potential for a Minnesota repeat is what is driving him currently, but Season 31 can not come any sooner.

I worte a long media piece (gotta keep that equipment well stocked) last season about the areas Burfict was going to look to improve, and things have gone pretty well so far. He's registering over a sack per game... I've always had this as a target. I could say that his overall tackle count is an area for concern (at time of writing he has 50 in the 9 game played) but to be honest, the Arizona defence are so damn efficient that teams don't often get much of an opportunity to carry the ball against Burfict. However there is one area I'd like to see an improvement on; forced fumbles. Last season Burfict lead the league in this stat with 6 forced fumbles (2 recovered). So that's 6 in 16 games. This season Arizona have 9 wins/games and Burfict only has 2 fumbles (1 recovered) where as the league leader Lover has 4. So yeah, I want Burfict to step up his game even if he's not often on the field for long. Get that ball lose L'Gazzy! In terms of how he's gonna do that... Well I'm pleased to see that he was recently maxed out as a Linebacker so there should be no excuses in that department. Maybe the only real way is for Arizona so be less dominant in games and allow the opposition more plays on the field? But hey, it doesn't appear like that's an option which will go down well in the Locker Room. So I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed instead.

Raphael Delacour is a harsh self-critic. He admits as much. But his performances this season appear to genuinely trouble him in a way that they seldom have in the past.
"We're only just over halfway through the season and I've already had more drops than I did all through last year," he explains. "so I'm really digging deep to try and see what else I could be doing for the team, you know?"
Delacour's numbers this season aren't even that bad. He still ranks in the top thirty receivers in the league for total receiving yards, but this is not enough for the Maryland native.
"We've had a rough start to the season and now we have to fight back from a disadvantage, so all of the captains are trying to rally the team in whatever way we can," says Delacour, named as one of the Yeti captains this season for the first time in his career; not even in college was he an offensive captain. "I've tried to increase my speed, I'm doing extra drills, studying tape, whatever I can do. Last season was fantastic and we were unlucky not to go deeper in the playoffs, so we were really hoping to build on that this time around. To be sitting at 4-5 at this stage in the season is tough to swallow."
He mentions increasing his speed, but what about elusiveness?
"That's the next thing," he tells us. "I'm working with a guy they call the foot doctor to see if I can be a bit more agile, get my feet right. Make it harder to follow me maybe."

I would think the biggest thing that Tessie needs to work on would just be overall consistency with her game. I think it’s to be expected for a young player still developing that they’re going to struggle with consistency for the first part of their career, but being named a captain shows that Kansas City has some level of expectations for Tessie that she’s probably just not at yet. It’s been a very up and down year, Kansas City as a whole is just a bit inconsistent but that starts from the top down. At 3-2-1 it’s certainly been frustrating but not for lack of trying, just need a few more steps to get there as well. Another thing that would probably need to be addressed for Tessie would be her hands, and subsequent lack thereof. According to all the scouting reports that exist, Tessie’s hands were nicknamed the “Great Wall of China” for being composed of the biggest bricks known to mankind. They stop things that come their way but if you’re expecting to be able to use them for anything you’ll be greatly disappointed. Usually cornerback is the position where the receivers who can’t catch go, but it should be expected at some point that the hands will develop in some capacity.
