(S26) - PT 2 - You Sit on a Throne of Lies

[Cheech65]

It has been a bumpy ride for Clark Boyd and the Berlin Fire Salamanders, to say the least. 2 seasons ago, Clark managed to earn a nomination for tight end of the year, albeit due to the ineligibility of James Angler. Last season, Clark broke 500 receiving yards for the first time in his professional career, even with fledgling quarterback Nick Kaepercolin. And now, after 7 weeks in S26, not only is Clark sitting with a measly 163 receiving yards, the team lost their first 5 games in a row. What the hell happened? Is it just bad luck? In the draft, Berlin took numerous defensive players who would help the team out, some of which immediately. But in those first 5 weeks, the defense was unbelievably worse than that of last season's, which in itself was weak as well.
Despite his growth, both physically and technically, Clark has not seen any improvement. He is actually on track for his worst season yet, looking back as far as his DSFL days. This is discouraging, but he still shows up every day for practice and every week for games. Perhaps his lack of production is due to more intense coverage by opponent defenses, due to his ability to break free if left open. Assuming that is the case, Clark is still content with being the distracting option, as it has allowed up-and-comer Cmon Skiuuup to take the extra reps as a TE2. In fact, Cmon is 50 yards ahead of Clark in terms of receiving yards, although without scoring a touchdown yet. It will come soon enough.
As far as the team is concerned, Berlin is bouncing back strong, and winning in the upcoming weeks will help solidify their position as a strong team, and perhaps even get them into the playoff. Actually, they will make the playoffs. For sure. No doubt in my mind.

Big Slammu, highly recruited high school recruit is having a rough go of it 7 games into his ISFL career. Shouts of the word “bust” are ringing through the crowd as the half-man half-shark beast has been anything but in the highest level of the game. Touted as the next great linebacker and ultimately, a future hall of famer, he has been stuck as a rotation defensive tackle in a 3-4 nickel scheme. This isn’t ideal for his production as that has lowered the amount of opportunities he’s had to rush the passer. While being fearsome and intimidating, he simply is the lightest individual on the defensive line and as a result, he is easily getting bullied off the line of scrimmage by the numerous 300 lb offensive lineman in the game. He will have to reevaluate his pass rushing technique because bull rushing on every down is simply not good enough in the international simulation football league. He will have to work on hand technique to use his elusiveness and speed to get into the backfield. While it has been a discouraging start, Big Slammu still has a couple years to develop and shape his game to fit into the ISFL. It’s hard to remember that he went pro immediately after graduating high school. The case of Big Slammu may be a question of experience as opposed to ability.

Well, I've got to say that I haven't had the best of starts in my sophomore season. At least I don't think I have had the best of starts, it's been an incosisten beginning for a fully capped Tom Teboat for Norfolk Seawolves. There are some games where Tom Teboat will go absolute baller mode and then the next game he just won't do anything at all. There's been 2 games where he has seemingly done nothing. I do think it has to do with a potential lack of QB over at Norfolk Seawolves, it's definitely something that in my opinion we are lacking and wish we could have. Overall even though I'm slightly complaining here I absolutely do not think it's as horrible start as last season, 1-2 is actually not that bad of a start. Compared to last season at the very I've experienced a win early on! Our defence is stellar and has absolutely helped out! I can't say enough about Lazzy Forty Two as well. One of if not the absolute best RB in the DSFL league. I am so lucky to be playing alongside him as he is a personal friend. One can only hope he bails us out as I don't see our passing game improving much. Hopefully I'm wrong though

The Philadelphia Liberty may not have the greatest record in the league right now starting off 2-5 and currently sitting at the bottom of the NSFC, but this team is vastly underrated. This team is going to bounce back and win the division. They have an outstanding defense, the two hundred and eleven points they’ve given up in the first 7 games were because of poor calls on the field. Philadelphia has been called for more penalties than any other team in the league. This team could easily be 6-1 if the refs weren’t being paid off by the opposing teams.

Now that the ref scandal has been put to bed this team is going to do nothing but win for the last 9 games of the season. This defense is going to step up even more and not allow more than 10 points per game. The offense is going to average no less than 30 points per game as well. This team is getting to the Ultimus you mark my words. Phoenix is going to be MVP and put up 45 passing touchdowns along with 15 rushing touchdowns. You can’t the Liberty, you can only hope to keep them under twenty points. This team is hoisting the Ultimus trophy come the end of Season 26.
