(S11) - PT 5 - Surprising Outcomes

[manicmav36]

I know we’re supposed to write about a surprising outcome of a specific game, but I’m going to write about a surprising outcome for the season as a whole. In S10, the Philadelphia Liberty had, what is easily, the worst season in NSFL history. Granted, a large number in actives spent an extra season in the DSFL for growth while they could’ve been contributing for the Liberty, but that was just an extra layer of tanking the team was so proud to trumpet about. The scheme worked though, and the Liberty saw tremendous growth from S10 to S11. In S10 the Liberty ranked dead last in total defense for both points allowed and yards allowed. In S11, however, they ranked first in the NSFL for both, allowing on 22 points per game and 364 yards. A shocking change, no doubt. The biggest contributor to this, however, has to be the addition of Eli Kamaka and Dre By Jr. That may be short lived, however, as Kamaka will be retiring and Bly is weighing his option as a potential free agent. The massive impact the rookies had on the defense cannot be overlooked, however. The addition of Cobalt, Garnett, and Fenix in the backfield, Becker and Robertson as linebackers, and Saul on the line gives them a solid core to last for a decade. The new leadership of @37thchamber will no doubt make this a team to be reckoned with for many seasons.
