Week 2 Preview - CaptainCats - 06-14-2017
Orange County Otters vs Baltimore Hawks
With both teams looking to rebound after week 1 losses this is a statement game on both sides. The Hawks actually had a solid first game with zero turnovers while forcing two of their own, they just could not stop the Yeti’s ground game allowing 179 rushing yards on 4.8 YPC. Quarterback Scrub Kyubee led a very efficient passing attack throughout the preseason and that continued into week 1. The Hawks, however, will need to develop a run game to help grind up the clock. Of course the big story heading into this game is the Otters’ QB situation; after winning the starting job in the preseason Mike Boss embarrassed himself against the Outlaws throwing 6 picks. Most people are expecting Josh Bercovici to lead the offence out this week, and the team can only hope he performs better; if not Ethan Hunt is chomping at the bit for his opportunity. Despite the loss, the defence was a positive, allowing only four first downs and 2.3 YPC. If the offence gets on track the Otters will be a force this season.
Players to watch:
Otters: Josh Bercovici, QB – Bercovici will look to seize his chance to be the team’s starting QB for the rest of S1
Hawks: Scrub Kyubee, QB – despite receiving little fanfare to this point in his career Kyubee has shown he can be a very efficient passer for the Hawks and should continue to do so in week 2
Prediction:
24 – 27 
Yellowknife Wraiths vs Colorado Yeti (Game of the Week)
They say football is won in the trenches, and that rang true with both these teams in week 1. While star receiver Josh Garden recorded 102 receiving yards both RBs filled the stat sheet (97 yards and a TD for Bubba Nuck, 20 total yards and 2 TD for Jack Stats). On the other side of the ball the DLine proved their worth posting a league high 4 sacks, 2 of which belonged to Jason Spearhead. For the Yeti, running backs Boss Tweed and Kieran O’Connel both managed 101 yards from scrimmage week 1 with a rushing TD each. Leading the defence was linebacker Jonathon Saint who recorded 7 tackles and a sack. Be sure to catch this game live on @princekyle’s twitch page: here around 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST.
Players to watch:
Wraiths: Jason Spearhead, DE – until teams figure out a protection scheme to slow down this star-studded defensive line look for Spearhead to create noise in the backfield
Yeti: Kieran O’Connell, RB – it is hard to say who is the starter in this backfield and it may be more of a 1 and 1a situation, but O’Connell made the most of his opportunities last week posting 5.1 YPC on 17 carries
Prediction:
17 – 10 
Arizona Outlaws vs San Jose SaberCats
The Outlaws surprised everyone in week 1 grabbing the W over the Otters, though the win was not as convincing as the score would have you believe. 7th overall pick Reg Mackworthy had a performance that could be described as disappointing, posting 7 yards on 9 carries. While Mackworthy did his best Trent Richardson impression starting QB Vincent Draxl did his best to look like Tim Tebow going 8/22 for 129 yards, 2 TD and 1 INT; both need to step it up if the Outlaws hope to compete this year. The secondary on the other hand was outstanding. Led by safety turned cornerback Isaiah Rashad with 3 interceptions the fourth ranked secondary entering the season proved their doubters wrong tallying a total of 6 picks. The SaberCats lost a hard fought battle week 1 that could have gone either way. Receiver Bailey Cook was the only true standout performance with 6 catches for 117 yards, though he failed to find the end zone. Despite the loss, if the Cats continue to play like they did last week they are in for a good season.
Players to watch:
Outlaws: Reg Mackworthy, RB – Mackworthy entered the season as a favorite to win the rushing title, and although he faced a strong defensive line last week, 0.8 YPC just won’t cut it
SaberCats: Bailey Cook, WR – the SaberCats will be the first team to test whether the Outlaws performance last week was a fluke or not and Cook is the key to their passing game
Prediction:
13 – 30

3-score loss for the team with the most points scored and least points allowed seems a bit drastic.
