Next Year;
The Yeti had an abysmal season and it wasn’t for a lack of trying. They simply could not compete on the same level since they have lost so many players last offseason. Plus a lot of the players are getting older and while that will help the younger core of the team get better through mentorship, it does not help the team on the field with such a small core of footballers. McCormick had a balanced season, it wasn’t good but it was far from bad. It was a good season for him to go out on. James Bishop might account for a lot of those stats helping his quarterback not have a dreadful season like the season’s record showed. The upstart running back Taffy will be a force to reckon with in coming years. He had a decent year and will be great next year and will be relied on heavily as the Yeti have yet to name a quarterback. There is no Logan Noble running around the league for the Yeti to use in the interim so it’s likely they will draft one this offseason. I wouldn’t count them out next year but I can definitely see the Yeti returning to the playoffs in 2 years and maybe an Ultimus in 3.
Strategies;
Colorado must make drastic changes to their team without selling out their future. The future is all they have. This draft class and the next will play large roles in the Yeti’s ability to make a championship. Aside from the draft they must somehow convince a group of free agent players to come to their team in a time of need. The Yeti are not flashy but they are an up and coming team and that is how they will make their argument. We may not have all the pieces right now but we are on the edge and want you to be a part of that transition. You make our team instantly better and you will stand out for it. So there are two steps to making the team better. Free Agency and the Draft. But is there another avenue? Yes. The team’s strategy on the field was lackluster. They must play to players strengths and not just a generic template. If you have a guy like Taffy who can do it all you need to play him in exotic plays designed to confuse the defense. He can stretch the field, play the slot, block the edge rusher and run up the middle. That is a recipe for success.
Rivalries;
This team isn’t overrated but I still want them to lose. The Baltimore Hawks should not be allowed into the Ultimus. Don’t get me wrong, they have a lot of respectful players and are managed by a group of great individuals. Childish Gambino could be one of the best passers in the league… ever. Errol Maddox is a phenomenal wide receiver looking to break out of Vinny Valentine’s shadow. Both of which make up the best wide receiving duo in the NSFL bar none. But they have this running back who I believe came to the team with the sole purpose of winning a championship. He came from the Liberty who were doing well but not good enough. Instead of helping the team get where they needed to be he left and put them in a spot where they haven’t been able to recover. Their running backs recently have left something to be desired. Once the Hawks win the trophy what will he do? Will he stay with the team in hopes of more championships or will he look to the next big team. I for one hope that the Liberty defeat the Hawks like they did last year just for the look on his face.
Underdog;
This is certainly not a knock against the San Jose Sabercats but the Orange County Otters certainly can get the job done as they have shown in the past. Maybe the real Gus TT Showbiz shows up. He has not looked like himself all season but this could be the kick that he needed. He has all the weapons that he needs in Johnny Blaze, Sunnycursed, Carlito Crush, and Django Anoa’i. He even has a good runner in Apollo Reed that he can rely on when his receivers need a rest. This will be an offensive showdown no doubt. But if Gus doesn’t show up, his team is toasty. Gambino will certainly be on point so it will be up to the defense to not make any mistakes. One small mistake could be the difference between victory and defeat. I don’t see this one being a blowout by any stretch but I think the Otters can pull this one off. I bet they will take the game by a field goal late in the game. What they need will be someone near the end who can be a time consumer. They might even get it to overtime which will incite hysteria. Good luck and have fun!
