With S20 nearing its end, the DSFL has had some standout players from all teams. The Portland Pythons seem in line to run away with the #1 seed in the NFC North, with their only real challenger being the Minnesota Grey Ducks sitting 2 games behind at 5-5. The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers and the Tijuana Luchadores, the Titans of the SFC South, are battling it out for first place! Both teams are incredibly tough at home for a combined 9-0, with the Luchadores just one game ahead sitting at 8-2. Myrtle Beach has to play near perfect to edge out Tijuana, and they certainly have the talent to do just that. Today I will be covering a couple of the young players on OFFENSE making big splashes in Myrtle Beach and how they are contributing to their teams’ success.
Myrtle Beach QB – Brock Phoenix: Brock has certainly...made an impact. Looking at completion percentages, he is the clear cut #1 QB in the DSFL. This comes as no surprise, as he has easily the best young supporting cast around him. Brock is second overall in completions, and third overall in attempts on the year. However, Brock has an amazing 11.5 yards per completion on the year, an entire yard more than runner up Jay Cue out of Portland. Brock is averaging just 1 TD per game through 10 games, which is good for third overall, due to an incredible two-headed running attack in Myrtle Beach. The main issue with Brocks performance this year has been turnovers. He has thrown 8 interceptions in a 10-game span, which is behind only the Quarterbacks from Minnesota and Norfolk. Outside of the turnovers, he is the clear cut #1 Quarterback in the DSFL. With a couple more games in line, limiting his turnovers while continuing to sling the ball will further separate him from the pack. I am confident he has the ability to elevate his game, after which I could confidently say he is truly the best signal caller in the DSFL.
Myrtle Beach RB – Siddhu Sarvepally: Siddhu has been nothing short of spectacular since his debut for Myrtle Beach in week 1. Siddhu only ranks fifth overall for ball carriers, however he is sharing the backfield while keeping pace with the other top backs in the DSFL. For example, he is only 214 yards behind the #1 back in the league, while carrying the ball THIRTY times less. Siddhu is averaging 4.9 yards per carry, and has 5 touchdowns on the year. Siddhu manages to make the most out of every touch he receives. Once he enters open field, he is a huge threat. Sarvepally makes shaking defenders, and just running around them look easy. For a running back that is splitting carries, he is excelling in the Myrtle Beach run-heavy approach they seem to have embraced.
Myrtle Beach RB – Ricardo Rose: Ricardo is essentially in the same boat (Yar-Har) as Siddhu Sarvepally. He has 936 rushing yards on 203 attempts averaging 4.6 yards per carry. When his number gets called, he delivers. Ricardo ranks at sixth overall right behind his fellow teammate. Where they differ is touchdowns. Ricardo has TWELVE touchdowns through 10 games thus far, which is a category where he is rated first overall. Ricardo Rose gets a majority of the goal line work. Being on a high-powered offense, Myrtle Beach finds themselves near the goal line often. Ricardo is does not shy away from contact, and often challenges foolish linebackers who stand in his way. While he may receive a beating, he makes sure the defenders taking him down feel it too. He has been a goal line and short yardage back this season. If this trend continues, Rose may end up climbing the ranks into the top three conversation, as his usage will see an uptick due to the Buccaneers being in a fight for the first seed.
Myrtle Beach WR – Rayne Gordon: Brock Phoenix is the number one QB for a reason. WR stud Rayne Gordon has had a phenomenal season thus far, and is excelling as the number one option for the rookie quarterback. Gordon has 64 catches on the season, averaging over 6 catches a game. Cornerbacks have a hard time covering him, as he is an exceptional route runner and can also torch defenders down the sideline. He is leading the league in receptions, which translates to yardage where he also leads the league with 889 receiving yards. He would be the clear number one option for any team in the DSFL averaging almost 90 yards per game, with an absolutely insane 13.9 yards per reception. While he is in the middle of the pack only seeing the endzone 5 times this season, his impact is felt in a plethora of ways. Gordon is frequently targeted on third downs, and he is the primary target during the two-minute drill. When Brock Phoenix finds himself in a bind, Gordon has the ability to find a gap in the coverage and create a play all on his own. His longest reception has only gone for 38 yards, but playing lax defense is not an option. Gordon has the ability to turn a 3 yard slant into a 25 yard gain in a hurry. Myrtle Beach was lucky to hold onto him for an extra year, and any team drafting him will find a great player on and off of the field.
Myrtle Beach WR – Jacoby Clay: If the season had ended in week two, Jacoby would have been in the talks of Rookie Wide Receiver of the Year! Clay had an excellent start, having two 80 yard games back to back as well as finding the endzone. Clay has since slowed down. Ranked as the number three receiver for weeks, his usage has dropped, and so has his overall ranking. Through 10 weeks, Clay has 36 catches for 483 yards. An almost 30 catch difference separates Clay from his teammate Gordon. Still, playing behind the number one WR in the DSFL does have some upside. He is very efficient, averaging 13.4 yards per catch. When Gordon begins drawing the attention of the defense, Clay will often slip behind coverage to make a play. While his numbers aren’t fantastic, he plays his complementary role very well, and has been an asset for Myrtle Beach this year. Should he stay down one more year with the Buccaneers, he would most certainly be the WR to watch.
