(S6) - Weekend PT 5 - Out of Ideas

[Zoone16]

Missing the playoffs is nothing new for Alexandre LeClair but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t sting. With only 2 career playoffs games, the S1 veteran has nothing to say about it other than it being terrible luck. His performance this season gave him a career high in TDs (12) but all the other stats were down on his formidable S5 season, mostly due to a change in the playbook that balanced the offense very evenly between himself and Trey Willie, arguably the best WR tandem in the league this past season, alongside SJS’ Jackson-Weston connection.

The name of the game this year in Baltimore was inconsistency, both on offense and on defense, losing games at home that they should’ve won. The last game of the season, at home against the Wraiths, had the Hawks as favourites to win, due to home field advantage, but squandered opportunities left the fans in Baltimore in shock.

One day LeClair will retire and look back at the legacy he’s left behind. Playoff performance will most likely not be there. And that’s ok with him.
