Matchup Nightmares: Pick an offensive and defensive player who will be going up against each other and why it will be a nightmare for one of them. (Must be completed before the playoff series you write about)
The matchup that will be most exciting to watch during the S5 conference championship will be found in Yellowknife as the Hawks travel to the frozen wasteland to face the Wraiths. Being a team with a light's out passing attack led by the formidable Eric Kennedy one would think he or Akselsen is going to be the matchup to watch, but I think the slot is the wrong place to look, rather watch what happens on the outside of the numbers with wideout Bailey Cook facing the one-and-only Antoine Delcaour 37thchamber AKA Nobody.
Now you might not know Nobody, but he is going to be plastered all over wideout Bailey Cook tonight. He is known for his electric speed and he can keep up with the significantly slower Cook as Yellowknife looks to stretch the field and find mismatches. You may not know this about Nobody, but he is top 5 in TPE on his team. Now this may be because he is S1 and his team sucks, but it still means that the wide receivers that aren't named Eric Kennedy will have a lot of trouble on the outside, and if Akselsen decides to thread a ball into tight coverage I expect Nobody to make him pay for it dearly.
Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
The MVP of Hawks @ Wraiths was easily Matt Akselsen. He tore dudes up last night in Yellowknife to the tune of 486 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions and a passer rating of 121.2 Akselsen was on fire last night and there was nothing that anybody could do to stop him. The interesting thing is that this turned out to completely contradict my statement above that Delacour was going to shut down Bailey Cook. Yeah, I was really wrong. Bailey Cook tore apart the defense for 6 catches, 124 yards, and a TD. Of course having an excellent quarterback like Matt Akselsen and having other threats both in the run and pass game helps. But yeah, I was wrong. Anyways Akselsen completed passes to 6 different receivers, three of them finding paydirt. His YP/A during the game was an elite 10.8 showing not only his efficiency but also his protection for the ball. I think Matt Akselsen's feet played a large role in this as well with him only taking two sacks all game. This is from the team with one of the cheapest offensive lines in the league. He was able to escape the pressure and make the throws on the run to avoid negative plays and keep the chains moving. In short, Matt Akselsen fucking destroyed Baltimore last night and is a serious contender to beat Orange County on their turf in the Ultimus.
New Talent: Write about which S5 trade will or did have the biggest impact in the playoffs.
Going to get a little abstract here because this trade was not directly for a player, but rather for a draft pick which was then used on a player that is and will continue to be a significant factor for the Otters on defense. The Otters traded away the Liberty's #5 pick along with a handful of other picks in order to secure the #7 and get their own #8 pick back from the Arizona Outlaws. This move proved to be strong for both teams, but the Otters particularly were happy after securing OL-turned-DL Ryan Sierra with the #7 pick. Ryan Sierra has been an outstanding rookie and made a strong case for himself as defensive rookie of the year this season. In the second go-around for the Otters vs Arizona in the conference championship he secured two sacks out of the team's 9 total sacks, 1 more than superstar lineman Gregor Clegane. With the upcoming game vs Yellowknife we can expect Ryan Sierra to dominate on the inside against a weak Wraiths line and tally up another 2+ sacks for the Otters in what hopefully turns out to be another win where they can bring home the Ultimus trophy to spend another year in its home in Orange County.
Going to Disneyland!:Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
The Ultimus MVP of Season Five was none other than S1's standout linebacker Ian Bavitz. Having been a loyal Otter and hard worker in the front 7 since the beginning of the league Ian Bavitz has been a grinder on the Otters defense who has played every position as a linebacker and even plays a good amount of nickel corner. He is the fastest and most agile linebacker on the Otters. During the Ultimus game he tallied 9 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception. His big plays game early in the game to really get the Wraiths playing on their heels as he recorded a sack in the first possession which he immediately followed up with an interception. This really set the tone for the Otters defense which proceeded to play a physical game and really dominate Matt Akselsen, thankfully because the Otters offense was sputtering. Following his MVP performance he took the usual trip to Disneyland, which is kind of in his backyard since he lives in Orange County. Bringing his 15 children from 6 different mothers along with him he decided to buy out the park for the Orange County team and staff because he hates waiting in line. The day was one filled with joyous screams and excitement. Bavitz even found time to sign autographs for the Disneyland employees who being locals are all huge Otters fans and wore their jerseys in support of the hometown heroes.
