Strategies
We've got a lot of work to do this off season if we want to lift the Ultimus next year. Firstly, we had an offense that finished nearly dead last, 9th in the league. Luckily we have alot of developing players on that side of the ball. Terry Taffy is a promising name in the running back room, but they will need more depth as the loss of Devo Casino noticeably increased the workload on the young back. Another interesting weapon is QB Wolfie Mcdummy, who just finished his first season with Colorado. He showed alot of potential in the DSFL, but he will need to be surronded by offense line and receiving talent. They've got the receivers down though, James Bishop is a pretty good WR1, and Lazlo Fourty-Two is developing. Terry Taffy is also a threat when it comes to catching passes.
The defense didn't do much better than the offense, but similar to the offense it has promise. Logan Lejune, Sinclair and Knurtsson form an active trio of safeties. Mo Berry is quickly developing into one of the leagues best linebackers. Bubba Thumper was just recently drafted and will help bolster our defensive line. We need more defensive line talent, including a defensive end in this offseason. If we make some changes we are primed for an Ultimus.
Unsung Hero
Raymond Vans of the Outlaws was the unsung hero of this years playoffs. In the first game against the Sabercats, Vans arguably had his best game. In a 41-21 blowout, it saw Vans pick of defensive player of the game with a stat line of 13 tackles and 2 sacks. He recorded the second most tackles of any line backer in that game and was tied for the most sacks. Next game, in a 31-3 domination of the Otters, Vans showed his sacking prowess, posting a modest 3 tackles and 2 sacks. Again another common theme, Vans lead the game with the most sacks. His abilities to rush the quarterback might help to explain Showbiz's usually bad night, as the Otter quarterback posted a QBR of 58.3. Finally in the championship game, the Outlaws pulled out a close victory 34-30 to hoist the Ultimus. This was Vans' worst game, but he still was able to have an impact on the game. He was one of two members on his team to record a sack and was tied for first on his team. The only other player in the game who had more sacks than him was the Liberties' McGwire, with 2.
Spotlight on the youth
I'm going to cast a spotlight on one of the leading S15 wide receivers, Brock Landers. Landers has provided a solid receiving talent all season, and especially in the playoffs. In the first game against the Sabercats, Landers had his best game against Sabercats, posting 102 yards on 4 catches. Reese was having a pretty good game, posting a QBR of 93.5. Having an on-fire Landers and an on-fire Reese is a recipe for success for the outlaws. In the next game against the Otters, Landers caught 4 passes for 73 yards. he was around 4 yards shy of catching half of Reese's passing yards. The Outlaws dominated the Otters on both sides of the ball, and Landers was no exception. In the finals versus the Liberty, Landers had a pretty tame game. posting 36 yards 3 catches. Not the best statlines considering we know what he is capable of. You cant blame him though, it appears that the Outlaws wanted to rush the ball much more, as Slim Shady posted 113 rushing yards and Zephyrous 119 rushing yards. As Landers develops, you can expect him to contribute more in these big games. He's gotten some valuable playoff experience from this run.
