4) Resim!
Written: You get to resim one game from this season. Write about why you chose that game and what the results would be.
Graphic: Show the stats from that re-simmed game.

Honestly I could choose any of the games that we lost this season, however I would choose the first game of the season against the Orange County Otters. The Otters were the top team in the ASFC this season by one game over us, the New Orleans Second Line. We beat them in the 2nd game of the season, but this game we lost to them by a score of 26 - 16. Just 10 points between us and being the top team in the ASFC. Arguably this is the one game this season that we should be okay with losing since they're the other top team in the ASFC, but Givussafare Rubbe isn't the kind of player to go for the low hanging fruit. He's the kind of player who wants to be on top and really be worthy of it. We lost to the San Jose Sabercats by three points later in the season, but Orange County has always been the other team at the top of the mountain in the ASFC with NOLA. I would be that we could take down Orange County by more than 10 points. I also think that's the game that Rubbe could improve on the most out of our losses. Our RBs both had less than 50 yards and Rubbe only had 4 pancakes. Sounds like it wasn't his best performance, especially since it was before he got his equipment. (237 words)

6) Recruitment
Written: Recruitment is coming up, and you’re in charge of a bot team. How are you building a lasting contender?
Graphics: Show with a graphic a new team design if you would relocate them

I think the path to creating a long last contender is very clear. You need to get active members. That's not easy to do obviously, but it's ALL ABOUT ACTIVITY. The 2nd thing to do is to make sure you draft the correct positions. If you want to be successful you need 3 things. A quarterback, a running back, and a line backer. The DSFL is all about the running game so you need to be able to play it and stop it. Get a quarterback that can make the right play, a running back that can execute, and a line backer that can shut down other team's offenses. After you've got your base set up I'd say you need one good offensive lineman and two more line backers. One good offensive lineman can make all the difference in the running game by making great blocks that set up a running back for a long gain. The other two line backers are there to close off the other two lanes that your first line backer can't cover. Put your most skilled line backer in the middle and your other two on the edges. Your offensive game plan is set and you have a great foundation to build on. The great thing about line backers is that once they're skilled enough they can expand their game to go beyond stopping the run to also helping out with passing defense. Once you've put together an active group that can win games you're going to build a good locker room. That makes new players want to be on your team which creates a cycle of being a good team.

10) Commissioner
Written: ADwyer, long time commissioner, is stepping down in the new year. If you were to replace him, what changes would you make to the league?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE TIME FOR FAIR RUBS IS UPON US! For too long the offensive lineman has been a second class citizen in the NSFL. First and foremost, the NSFL would institute a rule that gives all human offensive lineman a 50 TPE boost once they enter the NSFL. This will create a niche role for semi active players who want to add a lot of value to their team because of the offensive lineman position being such a high impact position. The next thing I would do is change the salary minimums to create more parity. Right now I feel like some teams can really stockpile talent which causes some teams to continually be on top. When was the last time we saw NOLA and OCO miss the playoffs for more than 2 seasons in a row? Maybe I'm blind and deaf but I can't remember a season where neither of them made the playoffs. I'd fix this by increasing the salary minimums for each tier. Instead of the following:
<200: $500,000
200 to 399: $1,000,000
400 to 599: $2,000,000
600 to 799: $3,000,000
800 to 999: $4,000,000
>1,000: $5,000,000

I think we should change it to this:
<200: $1,000,000
200 to 399: $2,000,000
400 to 599: $4,000,000
600 to 799: $6,000,000
800 to 999: $8,000,000
>1,000: $10,000,000

I personally believe that the league needs more parity, the lack of parity is terrible for a league that runs on member activity. (243 words)

16) Dynasty
Written: Convince us that your team will be the next NSFL or DSFL dynasty.
Graphic: Show us stats that back up your reasoning.

I'm completely puzzled by the rest of the NSFL's dislike of offensive linemen. The players are the kind that can carry an offense on their backs when they get good enough. With Brave Ulysses and Givussafare Rubbe flanking the guards and center in New Orleans I have no doubt in my mind that we're going to be the next dynasty. Forrest Gump is over 1000 TPE, Stan Francisco is still growing and is already at almost 1000 TPE. We have 3 different receiving options that aren't regressing yet, and all of that is topped off with two of the top offensive linemen in the entire league. Our offense is and will be absolutely stacked for seasons to come. Looking at our defense I think our only weakness is defensive end. Well. It used to be. Ben was signed at the very end of the deadline and has committed to moving to defensive end. With that we have 3 CBs over 500 TPE, two 2 DTs over 500 TPE, 2 LBs over 900 TPE (and 1 over 300), and a safety over 600 TPE. This defense is going to roll over other offenses. I don't see a single hole in our team, even in the spots that some GMs would call "extra". Watch out, this dynasty has 3 rings in it. (220 words)
