1) IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR - Can be completed anytime
Written: Write 200 words on your team and either why they should be looked at as Ultimus champions this season, or if your team has been eliminated, next year, or the year after for those non-believers.
Technically, as I am undrafted, I have no DSFL team. However, that doesn't matter, as I think it is the Marshalls time next year to win the Ultimini. They came in as the favorites (11-3) to the current reigning champions, The Tijuana Luchadores (7-7-0) in the first round of the playoffs. As we know, they lost pretty disappointingly, losing 37-10, and leaving us thinking what could have been. The Marshals will have to account for the loss of Covro Havran, a top QB prospect going in this years DSFL draft. He was huge in that game, and across the season, it will hurt and they're going to need a very good player to help fill his gap. On the bright side, they still have Boija, who deserved more carries versus the Luchadores average just over 5 per carry. If they can get another good QB, give their talented backs the ball more, and fix their defense a little, the Marshalls already have a solid team and good management. This would allow them to easily make a shot at an Ultimini next season. Especially in this deep draft, I don't see the Marshalls being out of championship talks for longer than two seasons. They can easily draft their holes, allow them to build up TPE, and win the Ultimini game.
2) SPOTLIGHT ON THE YOUTH - Can be completed anytime
I don't think anyone would have guessed that Fast Boija would be this dominant in the DSFL. Ok, that may be a joke considering his legendary 2027 run. But it was definitely a surprise he was able to continue the momentum. He was a vital piece of the Marshalls regular season dominance. He had nearly 1000 yards over the second best rusher. He led in yards and in rushing touchdown. That is not an easy feat to complete. He also has all-time season records in rushing tds, rushing yards, and rushing attempts. While he keeps the ball a lot, he's able to convert it into yards, and most importantly, touchdowns. It will interesting to see how his touches will be affected by the loss of Covro Harvan. Maybe he will need to take an even larger workload and could explode for 3000 yards. He has shown that he can be very good with the ball, I wouldn't rule it out to see one more season of dominant Fast Boija. We don't know but are we sure excited. He will be the player to watch for with the Marshals, and if teams aren't sure how to stop him it will most likely result in an exit from the playoffs.
3. PRE-GAME or...POST-GAME - Can be completed before or after based on choice.
We are gonna look at the SFC semifinal game between the Luchadores and the Marshalls. The Marshalls won all but one of their games versus the Luchadores this season, and had a noticeably better record, so they came in as clear favorites to take this playoff game. The Luchadores bounced to an insanely hot start, as Tanner Hendrix caught a 10 yard pass to set the first points of the game, in the Luchadores favour, 7-0. Next, Quandre Favorite had a clean 15 yard pick that ended in a pick-six(or pick-seven). It was now 14-0 and the Marshals were in serious risk of blowing away the game in the first quarter. This heightened awareness from the Marshals did not deter the Luchadores, as they got in one more score before the end of the quarter, a 33 yard field goal by Stephen Harris Jr. In the second quarter, the Marshalls refused to go out without a fight. A 33 yard FG by Stephen Harris marks the first Marshals points of the game. A 4-yard run by Fast Boija is quickly followed the field goal. The Marshalls werent able to stop it all however, a beautiful 56 yard field goal from Stephen Harris Jr. set the score at 20-10 at the half. The third quarter was all the Luchadores. A 2 yard run by Roronoa and a 32 yard field goal by Stephen Harris Jr. put the Luchadores up by 10 more points, and the Marshalls were unable to respond, 30-10. To put the nail in the coffin, Nate Swift caught a 6 yard pass from Andreas Metaxas to close out the game, 37-10. This was a dominating Luchadores performance from such a promising Marshalls team, I expect them to want blood in next years playoffs.
4. QUARTERBACK MATCHUP - Can be completed anytime
I again am going to look at the game between the Luchadores and Marshalls in the SFC Semifinials and compare the quarterback performances. Corvo Havran was one of the top rated QBs this past season, and he definitely did not disappoint here. He had 282 yards and 1 touchdown, on 26 for 34. It is also important to note he did not throw an interception. He wasnt able to avoid being sacked however, and he got taken to the ground three times compared to 2 for Andreas Metaxas and Z Wozy. I think this can be attributed to a lack of mobility, as he only rushed for 5 yards that game. In the next level, teams are going to need to surrond him with a great o-line, since he might be able to use his mobility to avoid rushing defenders. Despite all this, I still want to reiterate, he had an amazing night, however his team was just not able to get into the endzone enough, but he easily led the game in passing yards. Wozy was able to atleast post something comparable to Havran, with 235 yards. He was noticeably less efficient, on 21/39 passing. He also was pressed hard by the opposing defense, as he had 3 interceptions. Ultimately, he was outplayed by Havran, but the Luchadores powered through in other fields, which led to their dominanting performance.
