(S18) - PT1 - Defense wins Championships!

[manicmav36]

The S18 Yellowknife Wraiths have, on paper at least, arguably the best defense ever to grace the field in the history of the NSFL. Hyperbole? No, I really don’t think so. We’ve seen some great defenses in this league, usually anchored by a handful of outstanding players. The Wraiths, however, are amazing throughout. Let start with a group near and dear to my heart, the defensive backs. The Wraiths have 6, yes 6 quality starters available to them, all above the league average TPE for starters in their position. Starting at safety, the Wraiths have Uchiha, Kroustis, and Lewis, with 578 being the lowest amount of TPE. Even more impressive, they’re all S15 players, meaning they have a lot more time to grow. At CB they have the #1, #2, and #15 (rookie) rated CBs by TPE. To put how impressive this number is, Snuggles, with 1147 TPE, has more combined TPE than the CBs of 3 different teams. At linebacker, they have the highest TPE defender in the league with Danny Grithead lined up at SLB, and Alex Selich, who also has over 1000 TPE, starting opposite. Rookie LB Maurice Virtanen comes in to spell with 340 TPE. At defensive tackle, they have the fourth highest TPE player at their position in Ryan Leaf Jr., while Thomas Clark next to him is the one real hole this defense has. The defensive line is anchored on the ends by Nero Alexander, the highest TPE DE in the league, and Luke Smyles, a better than average starter.
