Four - With being in the league prospect pool for a whole three days it's hard to develop any sort of rivalry with another player. At this point, I'm just trying to make a name for myself but so are other players. One player in particular who went out of his way is Oline "prospect" (far from it), Bruce Buckley. I barely had the social media for an hour before this goon goes out of his way to start talking smack. Now I'm not one to enjoy confrontation but little did he know that along with figure skating, I loved debate club as a child. Sure enough, I roast this goon and take his soul using in a few replies. He comes back with ENJOY THE BENCH GEORGE insinuating that I'm not going to see a lot of playing time. While I feel bad that Bruce feels the need to rage like this, it taught me a lot about the level of competition I'm facing in this league. It will take a lot of hard work to get past this draft class full of goombas. It can be done with a bit of country work-ethic but I sure did pick a crazy year to declare.
Six - Expansion is a possibility in the upcoming season due to a large influx of players. Expansion can be an exciting time for a league but is also dangerous. This is due to the possibility of contraction, the opposite of expansion. Contraction is usually a bad sign for the future outlook of a league and should be avoided at all costs. The possible expansion should occur within North America. While American-football is an International game, right now the focus should be on creating local markets to promote regional rivalries. This will increase competition and make games more exciting. For possible markets, it would be hard to ignore the potential of another team in either Mexico or Canada. The largest respective cities of Mexico City or Toronto would serve this purpose well. The idea of a regional team would also be applicable, with home games spread over a local area. A team from Alberta playing in Edmonton, Red Deer, and Calgary could do this. Similarly, a team from Texas could share space between several cities, as could be done in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area. Expansion at this point must happen due to the historically large draft class. With that being said it should be carefully considered to avoid a possible contraction in the near future.
Eight - Toshihide Matsumoto (@ToshihideMatsu1) is a prospect o-lineman in the upcoming DSFL draft. Hailing from Japan, he brings a big game to the table despite being a self-proclaimed vegan. He felt that he can be an impressive player who will be a force at the point of attack. Because of medical concerns in regards to his vegan diet, it is hard to see him going any higher than the third day of the S22 Draft. Matsumoto has mostly played at a variety of offensive line positions. For the NFSL, he is going to need to get stronger and add weight to his frame. Matsumoto is a right tackle prospect who is a real fighter at the point of attack. He has starting right-tackle potential in the NSFL. Teams are projecting him to be a candidate to go in the first four rounds of the upcoming draft. With impressive strength, pass blocking, run blocking, and endurance, Matsumoto may be worth a late-round flier. There are some concerns regarding his commitment levels as he's been slow to react to social media and requests for press. While he's never had any official discipline or time missed from football activities, he may be difficult to inspire or may lack enough work-ethic.
Nine - Being new the history of the NSFL, choosing a favorite team to have a "soft-spot" for is difficult however there is one franchise that does stand out in this regard. The Yellowknife Wraiths are the only Canadian franchise and they are rostered by lots of American players. Being a dual citizen myself, it's hard to not root for these boys in the NSFL playoffs. This team had an incredible regular season and deep playoff run. While going deep in NSFL playoffs is a bit like making the CFL playoffs due to a low number of franchises, this is still an incredible feat. The Yellowknife Wraiths franchise would benefit from DSFL or NFSL expansion into Canada. The one thing that is negative about this franchise is its far-off location. It would be great to see a team in Prince George, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, or Saskatoon offer a regional rivalry to this team. This is one franchise with an incredible history at the Quarterback position. For all the QB prospects coming into the league this year, you may stand to benefit from analyzing the depth chart of the Yellowknife Wraiths at this position. This will give you a better understanding of the monumental task it is to gain a starting job in the NFSL.
