Task 1: PBE
Task 7 (New Year):
My new team the New Orleans Second Line are looking to make the playoffs next season by virtue of some key free agent pickups in the outfield along with a very good defense. As a defensive lineman I'm looking to stuff the run as much as possible next season. That's really where I feel like our strength will be going into next season; the defense. For the most part this season our defense was amazing, but we got unlucky with offensive production that cost us quite a few wins. We very well could have won our division as early as week 10, but due to some rough offensive play we ended up missing the playoffs entirely. While I feel the offense did have a pretty big part in it, the defense also wasn't perfect. There were a few games where we gave up way too many points. I'm a huge proponent of the Tampa 2 style bend don't break defense, but as a defensive lineman there's only so much I can do in that regard. My job is to stuff the offensive line and cause the QB to be as uncomfortable in the pocket as possible. Hopefully next season we can all do better and prove that we're the best team in the NSFL.
Task 8 (Draft Focus):
As I mentioned above I feel like our team is already very good. Having said that, I do believe we can use some youth in our front 7. Specifically the linebacker position. There is a specific player I have in mind that I hope ends up being my teammate for many years to come and that is Mack Arianlacher. Oddly enough he reminds me of myself when I entered the league. In case anyone forgot I actually started my DSFL and NSFL career as a middle linebacker, though due to misuse by Chicago I lost my love of the game and decided to move to the defensive line upon being traded from Chicago to New Orleans with a detour through Austin. Back to Mack though; I expect him to be an absolute beast middle linebacker for any team he gets drafted to, and I definitely hope it's us in New Orleans. He's already proven himself to be a tackling machine in the DSFL with over 90 tackles in his first season. I expect him to break the 100 mark next season if he ends up staying down another season. And it won't be too long before he's terrorizing the middle of the field in the NSFL. I'm looking forward to it.
Task 11 (Trades):
Let's see...who was traded recently from the team who drafted them only for them to be traded again to a different team only a few days later? Oh yeah, that was me. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. Ultimately it was a great thing for my football career to be traded from Chicago. As a member of the Butchers I had lost my love for the game of football due to the management using me out of my natural position without notifying me that the change would be happening. I'll be honest, when I was made aware that I was traded (by someone other than the Chicago GM by the way), I was ecstatic. During the draft I was either going to Chicago or Austin, so I was ready to start fresh as a Copperhead. Unfortunately for me (at the time), I learned a few days later that I again had been traded without my knowledge to another team. Fortunately for me, that team ended up being the New Orleans Second Line. Immediately when I arrived to the locker room I was greeted by everyone and honestly it felt like I had finally found my NSFL home. Shortly after we discussed a contract extension and the possibility of me changing positions, which I agreed to. So far my time in New Orleans has been nothing short of great, and I look forward to the next few years. Who knows where I might end up after that. I might even be traded another 6 times, but due to my no trade clause to Austin and Chicago, it definitely won't be there again!
