Interview a fan - @ADwyer87
1. It’s the first time the Outlaws missed the playoffs, after surprising everyone last year, what was the atmosphere in the locker-room? It was still upbeat honestly. Everyone was saying we would be trash, and we still were in it till Week 13 and ended with a winning record. We were better than the NSFC Wraiths, and they made the playoffs, so there's still hope.
2. Anyone would argue that King Bronko was a top 3 QB until this year, what do you think happened? Just a rough start to the season. Everyone has rough patches. If you look from week 7 on, I had 18 TDs, 3 INTs, and had 5/8 games over 300 yards. This is with one of the lower TPE wide receiver cores, too. I'm still neck and neck with Boss in career stats for the most part, which is impressive considering he has a year more of experience than me, So i'm still fine. Expect a bounce back season next, i'm on a hot streak!
3. What’s the goal for the next season? I'm hoping we can make the playoffs again
4. Do you vape, bro? Nah bro, straight kush for me only
Unsung Hero
Chris Orosz is unsung as a hero for the Sabercats. Putting up crazy numbers in the season, and even in his first San Jose playoff game, the man who had a haircut you could set a watch to and my mentor when I started played out of his mind. Putting up 3 touchdowns, throwing 0 picks and slinging the rock, Orosz outperformed Mike Boss, the passing hero, on passer rating by nearly 30 points. To me that speaks volume, the team played on the road and out of their mind, if anyone deserves credit for playing so well that the roster couldn’t stop him in the air and lost on a field goal, it is testament to how well Orosz did in that game. Orosz only threw for 24 fewer yards than Boss as well. He played lights out. Unfortunetly, the problem that killed Orosz was the play calling, as the team struggled in third down efficiency which likely cost the San Jose Sabercats key drives for their first playoff game ever. That said, when he hurled the rock, Boss completed fewer passes than Orosz, and if the playcalling had worked in his favor, Chris Orosz, formerly of the Yellowknife Wraiths, would be taking the Sabercats to the Ultimus game.
Interview a Star – Mike Boss @JBLAZE_THE_BOSS (go crabs)
1. What is like it being the QB everyone aspires to be? Its funny thinking that I am the QB everyone aspires to be. My career didn't get off to the best of starts, but I stayed the course and with the support of some teammates I was able to establish myself as the QB. I still strive to get better each year. There's always something I can improve on. I expect to be perfect every time I go out there. There are a lot of good QB's out there, some with a lot more talent than me.
2. Will the Otters Dynasty end? If so, what will cause that to happen? This run with the Otters has been one of the most interesting times in my life. I hope it doesn't end, but nothing good lasts forever. We won't know its the end until it's all over. We're just going to go out there and do our jobs to try and put our team in a position to win. We have a lot of guys on the team that know what their job is, and that is important. I think time will cause the team to fade out eventually. As much as I'd like to, I can't play forever.
3. What do you think is going to be the biggest challenge to 4peat? The biggest challenge to the 4-Peat is understanding that the season is a clean slate for everyone. It's awesome that we've won the Ultimus 3 times in a row now, but it won't do much for us once the new season starts. We need to dedicate ourselves to executing the gameplans put in place for us and realizing that each season is a different battle. If everyone does their job then we should be in the conversation when the season ends.
4. When you do recreate, what do you see yourself as? When I recreate I plan to stay as a QB. The other positions don't interest me as much and I think it would be cool to have a legacy of top QB's in the leagues history once it's all said and done. I'm setting the bar high with Boss, but I think my next QB could end up even better if there is the right situation. It was a perfect storm with the receivers and backs I've had in Orange County but I think I will be able to create another decent QB.
Hate the player or the Game.
I feel bad for the Arizona Outlaws. The ASFC third place team is just so much better than the NSFC second seed. Two years now, the team that places third, in this case not the Cats but the Outlaws, has seen their chances ruined by divisions. This may seem weird, but the divisions make no sense. In the NSFL, every team plays each other twice. In the NFL, there’s all these different matchups that don’t happen and as a result, the playoffs become a lot less about record alone but also strength of schedule and what have you. But back to the Outlaws, they rallied in the second half of the season and still did not get the results they needed to make it to the playoffs simply by being in the more competitive division. To put into perspective how good their season was, Mackworthy was third in Rushing Yards, while putting up a respectable 4.2 YPC. Meanwhile, Bronko threw for just shy of four thousand yards. The team ended with 8 wins, something neither the Hawks nor Wraiths had. It’s perhaps telling that the NSFC has never won an Ultimus as we head into our seventh season. It is because the competition in the NSFC is just not as good depthwise as the ASFC is. ASFC domination is hurting a stronger playoff run now. Give us the Yeti.
