Rivals:
My greatest rival on the field is also one of my greatest allies as well and it is pretty obvious who it is so I'll just say it out the gate, Brayden Ennis. We have had a rocky road from the beginning of our careers where we both joined tbe Marshals and the Coyotes were my player easily outperformed Ennis in every facet of the game. Brayden Ennis has been moreso of a Tony Romo-esque player focusing on the mental aspects of the game such as coaching and managing the locker room whereas Brackenridge is a definite stud on the field. The rivalry between us at the beginning of our career's was certainly hotter than what it is now as we have become veterans in the league and have shared the same locker room for 2 seasons now and have put our differences aside for the greater good of the team and it shows in our improved performance. Although it may appear all rosy and fine we still have our differences in the locker room and personally but we are able to keep it behind close doors and not to be able to effect our relationship and ultimately the fiery passion between the two on the field can lead to many positive things and it is important to remember that at the end of the day we are still teammates.

Armchair GM:
I truly feel that the Sabercats are on the cusp of being a truly great team in this league and this previous season proved just that. One of the desperate needs for this team includes CB as Scarlett, their previous draft pick, was traded to become the GM in another city. The free agent market is pretty scarce at DB so the draft is the best bet to fulfill this need and with 2 high 1st round picks they can certainly land a stud in the secondary. Although not a pressing need for the team at the moment, an active qb would definitely propel this team farther because of the semi-questionable build that Dan Wright has so far but at least he has good run blocking. The first thing i would do as the GM would be to cut the dead weight on the team, which is solely Brayden "0 tackles" Ennis who is just hogging playing time at this point. This team is set up to add at least 3 great young active rookies if they play their cards right, which could be crucial for San Jose to become a hot destination for free agents looking to join a team on the rise that is lead by the best linebacker in the league Tyron Brackenridge.

Dynasty:
The San Jose Sabercats are poised to be the next great dynasty in the league, even better than the lowly Otters. The Sabercats have a large group of active young players that have started to take the next step in this league and that includes Brackenridge, Ennis, Jackson, and Tyerucker all of which have become stars. Both Brackenridge and Tyerucker have been nominated for awards throughout their short time in the league thus far and can only signal the things yet to come. Their mildly inactive quarterback has been seen in the gym all offseason and has made some serious gains to his game, which will also make defenses have to prepare for the air attack with lethal weapons such as Jackson and DTF. The Sabercats also have 2 picks in the top 4 selections, which has them set up to take 2 excellent and active rookies that can provide an immediate impact on the field and hopefully turn this team into a perennial title contender. Although this all sounds great, this team must be able to attract some high caliber players in free agency to kick start this rebuild and to get ahead of the curve before their glut of S17 draftees hit regression and begin their slow downward descent into retirement.
