1) Playoff Review (Ultimini)
Today I will be reviewing the DSFL Championship, the Ultimini. The entire season came down to this. One game, one chance to cement themselves in DSFL history. Some of these players won’t ever play in their respective uniforms again. If there was any game to put everything on the line this was it. Coming into this game the top two teams from the regular season were pitted against one another once again. The Luchadores who had the best record in the regular season came in after a win against the Marshalls. They were being led by running back Ducky Donut who had an electric season. On the other side of the ball they were led by Jordan Andrews, the third overall pick in the prior DSFL draft. He also had a very good season. The other team coming into this game was the Pythons. They had the second best record in the regular season and came into this after blowing out the Coyotes. They were being led by their quarterback Franklin Armstrong. He comes into this game knowing that this will be his last game in a Pythons uniform. Another key piece of their team is wide receiver Hugh Mongo. Mongo comes off of an absolute monster season and is very high in wide receiver of the year running. The favorites going into the game were the Luchadores as they had the better record in the regular season and arguably the better team. This game started as a brawl in the first quarter, with no team able to get an edge on the other. However, Ducky Donut was able to punch in a touchdown to give the Luchadores a lead of seven. In the second quarter they were able to expand their lead. McCann threw a four yard touchdown to increase the lead by seven and Ducky Donut again was able to punch in a touchdown. Knowing that they needed to put some points on the board. They were able to drive down the field in the closing minutes of the second quarter and score a touchdown. Going into the half time break the score was 21 - 7. After the half time break the teams came back fired up and ready to go. However, neither of them were willing to budge in the third quarter. They both kept each other scoreless and going into the fourth quarter the Pythons knew they needed to score. Tijuana didn’t let that hold them down and they scored a touchdown off of a pass from McCann. The Pythons would not allow getting more embarrassed than they already were. In the closing minutes of the fourth quarter they were able to punch in one final touchdown off of the legs of Rkansaw. Tijuana was able to win another Ultimini and they will always be apart of DSFL History.
All about the QBs(McCann vs Armstrong)
We are again going to talk about the Ultimini, but instead of focusing on the entire game we will only focus on one aspect of the game. Today we will be focusing on the quarterbacks, the leaders of the team. From the Pythons we have the league’s leader in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, Franklin Armstrong. He comes into this game after beating the Coyotes in which he threw for 235 yards and 1 touchdown while he gave up 1 interception. Many believe that he will win the quarterback of the year award. From the Luchadores we have Jordan McCann. He was originally a wide receiver before switching positions and becoming the Luchadores starting quarterback. Although the Luchadores usually pound the run game and he had less attempts than the other quarterbacks he still had a very solid season. He helped the Luchadores beat the Marshals in the semi-finals by throwing for 121 yards but he did not throw any touchdowns. So in this game most expected Armstrong to take the upper hand based on both his tpe and his experience. For example, Armstrong has played 3 seasons in the DSFL while this was just McCann’s rookie season. In the first quarter of the game McCann didn’t throw the ball much at all so technically you could say Armstrong played better. The rest of the game went pretty much like that. Armstrong had more yards per quarter but he had the worse passing rating. At the end of the game Armstrong ended with 257 yards which was 171 more yards than McCann’s 86. However, McCann ended the game with more touchdowns and 2 less interceptions than Armstrong. It makes deciding who played better much harder. Do you care more about stats or winning but that's up to you. In my opinion Armstrong played better won this matchup.
12) Sit down with a Star (Ducky Donut)
1) Why are you the best running back in the season 17 draft class?
I mean there's some pretty heavy competition there, as you can see by the stats and predictions for the draft, however I think if I get taken I can be a sleeper prospect. I have had a good season in the DSFL so far and I think that might put some spotlight on me, but i think that a lot of people think that I will be a bust in the NSFL. I want to prove them wrong if they think that I won't be great in my career.
2) Having knocked off the Marshals and advancing to play the Pythons in the Ultimini, do you expect to win it all?
The pythons are a great team and were defenitely who I expected to be going up against when we made it to the Ultimini. I think our team is the best in the DSFL and I have an expectation to continue that success in the championship game. We showed what we could do in the playoffs against San Antonio, and I think that we can do just as well against the Pythons. Our team is amazing, I expect a win, anything else would be disappointment.
3) Although you do not have as much TPE as the other running backs in your class you had a monster season. Do you think that your stats will raise your draft stock and where do you believe you will get drafted?
Like I said earlier I think that I could be a sleeper pick in the draft. The TPE is kinda a problem because Ive been kinda inactive with real life stuff, however if a team takes a chance on me in the draft I could become a real steal. I'm not convinced myself that I will even get taken, even due to my great statline this year, however if I don't I can just carry my team to another Ultimini (cough cough) and if I don't get taken I can try my best to get another chance next year.
4) When Reddit recruitment started a ton of new players started to flood in. What are your thoughts on the large class and possible DSFL temporary expansion?
Well I was recruited by a reddit post myself this year, and I think it'd be great to have more players in the league from these recruitment efforts. I think that it's a great opportunity to get a lot of new talent in the DSFL and NSFL later, and have an incentive for more players to start getting active as there is more competition for a spot in the draft.
Sit down with a Fan(Jay Cue)
1) As you are about to be drafted into the DSFL. How did it feel watching the Ultimus knowing you could be there some day?
It's mainly a strange feeling, due to being on the game for only a few days. I look at the players from my position (QB) and still have no idea how much time they used to develop and be a part of an Ultimus. But at the same time I can't help but think, if they made it, i can do it to. Let's hope it happens, first step is to be drafted.
2) While watching the Ultimus, who was the most interesting? Which player caught your eye?
I was mainly watching the QB's, especially Falconi, but Reese caught my eye due to being the "underdog" QB. Even with 2 INT, he had a very good game.
3) Based on both your forum activity and discord activity, where and to what team do you think you will be drafted?
To be honest, i have no idea. I still haven't checked the rosters to see the team needs, but i understand that my position makes it a little bit hard to be completely sure about teams that need a QB. Some GMs got in touch, we spoke a little bit about my and their ambitions, and something will come up. They want mainly active players, i want mainly an active team, so let's see what happens.
4) After watching all these amazing quarter backs play which of them would you like to emulate, or play similar to?
Looking only at numbers, I have to say Joliet Christ, as I would like to be able to throw and still get some running yards.
