Robbed: The Norfolk Seawolves were absolutely robbed of playoffs this year in the DSFL. The Seawolves were ended up only one game away from making the playoffs. In the end, it all came to the week 13 matchup between the Portland Pythons and the Kansas City Coyotes. As much as I hated the Portland Pythons, we needed them to beat the Coyotes so that we could move up. The Pythons played great all year, so of course, right when we really need them to get a W, they lose by 2 points. To add insult to injury, the Pythons shut the Coyotes out in the playoffs. To explain why this was so horrible, the Coyotes scored 27 points in Week 13, while they scored zero points in the post season! A twenty seven point difference. And, it would be a simple explanation if the Pythons were in Kansas City, but nope, they were not. Both games were held in Portland. I kind of think that Portland tanked in week 13, just so that we could not make it into the playoffs. I would not put it past them. They knew we could have beat them in the playoffs. They could not handle our defense.
Interview with a star: I interviewed @Sweetwater
1. Yellowknife just barely missed the playoffs this year, do you believe they have it in them to make a larger playoff push next year?
Absolutley, YKW is a young team on the rise, and have one of the highest numbers of active members in the league. Add to this the biggest free agent signing and Danny Grithead, 2 HO members, the current simmer, and the former simmer, the newest commentary team member, and a handful of other great guys, and you can only succeed. Plus, 4 of 5 teams in the conference make the playoffs next season. So, it's more likely to make the playoffs than not.
2. What are your thoughts on the current expansion that the NSFL is going through, and do you think that it will last?
Not gonna lie. I have been against it for a while. I think it was hastily decided upon and a kneejerk reaction to a large number of new members, a large number of which have already gone inactive. Barring another huge recruitment form r/NFL in the fall, I don't see the expansion lasting much more than a few seasons. Without another large recruitment class, I see contraction looming on the horizon. While I have voiced my dissent to the decision to the HO and GMs, I don't technically get a vote. Nonetheless,
I will continue my duty as simmer and will support them in whatever happens to the league
3. Do you believe yourself to be one of the top running backs in the league right now?
Looking strictly at the numbers and possibilities, if you put me as the lead/sole RB of a team in a run first offence, I will put up HOF numbers. However, my ability comes from my adaptability. I am willing to play wherever my team needs me. I am not looking for individual accolades with this player, just team success. I will most likely be changing archetypes to help my team out in a more versatile offence. As a player who accounted for about 2/3rds of my team's TDs, I would say I am one of the top RBs in the league right now. On top of all of that, I am the simmer. I get guaranteed TPE, and know which stats seem to impact performance the most. But above everything else, I would say my willingness to give up glory to better my team is one of the best intangibles in the league at my position.
4. You already won yourself a championship, do you see yourself being content with that, or are you looking for more?
Listen. One of the best moments in the league is winning championships. It was amazing to bring SJS their, and my, first. I more than look forward to winning more. There's a reason I took a minimum contract in FA but based my entire decision on a team's overall pitch for the future. I want to win, and I want to help my teammates win. I joined this league to win, I joined my current team to win, I will join future teams to win.
Next Year: I believe that the Norfolk Seawolves are very much capable of winning the Ultimini next year. Our biggest weakness was our offense this year, and even on there we had a couple of stars. Our offesne stalled mostly because of our passing game. Jay Longshaw was not playing very good, and so it was hard to rely on him to move the ball downfield. Our wide receiver core was great, with Ahri, Mudley, and Speedy. Longshaw should be able to produce big time next year with those weapons. But, he was not able to produce this year, so we had to rely on Dorfus Jimbo. Dorfus was our only rb, so he obviously had a hefty task of pretty much carrying the offense. Dorfus put up great stats, but he just was not good enough to be an offense. So, next year it would be great if Longshaw could play better. If he does, our offense would be pretty much unstoppable with the dual threat going. OUr defense was great this year, and it will be really nice to see them develop even more into an even better squad. If both sides of the ball click, I do not see how another team in the DSFL could stop the Norfolk Seawolves. We have a great shot at winning the Ultimini next year.
Spotlight on the Youth: For this one, I am putting the spotlight on Richard D'Attoria V, but for all the wrong reasons. The description did not say that this one had to be positive about the youth. RDA5, is just a bad football player. He does not add anything to the Philadelpha Liberty, and in fact he makes them worse, a lot worse in fact. Who knows, maybe if the Liberty pick someone besides RDA5, they might have been able to overcome the mighty hawks. Also, @124715 is just a bad locker room prescense. Now, I have never actually been in a locker room with him, but I have been in multiple discords with him, and I can say that he makes them all ten times worse just because he is in them and ruining them. I do not see how a football team can focus on football when you have someone so negative in the locker room causing so much commotion and just taking your focus on non important things. RDA5 was just a waste of a draft pick, honestly, he should be considered the biggest bust of the season fifteen draft. What a waste, @BWIII, you could have had a real game changer, like Gimmy, on your team, and it really could have changed your entire season. But instead, you had to waste it on some garabge football player.
