Tree Gelbman - Ultimus Tasks
5) Armchair GM (307 Words)
If I was the Kansas City Coyotes general manager, I’d have several steps I’d want to do to improve the team going forward. Beginning with the most important thing; the draft. Kansas City features to lose several key names from both sides of the ball on offense and defense which will hurt the team drastically. Beginning on the offensive side of the ball, the team will need to address wide receiver heavily. Two of the top receivers, Red Arrow and Chris Kross, are both expected to leave for the NSFL after their draft tomorrow, and as a result the position will have to be filled. The team should spend at least two upper end picks on the position to grab people to try and replicate the production. While not as pressing of a need on offense, the team should also look to address the tight end position as well. Tree Gelbman will potentially make the jump to the NSFL next year, and if so will create a vacuum at the position, but it is not as pressing of a need as the tight end is not as heavily utilized in the DSFL leagues. The defensive side of the ball will be what makes or breaks the draft. Kansas City is projected to lose several key players, mostly notably on the defensive line and in the linebacker position as well. The first pick of the draft should be a defensive lineman or a linebacker based on which position offers more value at the time of the pick, but the secondary is also a concern. While not many names are seriously considered for the draft, the secondary is very suspect and will greatly benefit from an amazing cornerback or safety. The draft will be huge for turning the Coyotes into contenders, and I trust the management to do so.
6) Expansion (239 Words)
If I was in charge of a new expansion team, the first step would be a simple but effective one; find a location that would draw fans out in droves to see the teams. My place for this would be Long Island, NY. The island has many sports on it that are at high professional levels, save for football. The community would accept a professional team without hesitation. The next question would be “What do we name the team?” and the answer to that is simple; the Dragons. Dragons are awesome and the uniforms would be a nice black and red to represent the power and passion that our team would bring. Attendance will never be a problem, as Long Island people are always looking for something to do, and what better way to spend an evening with some football and then having a short commute back home after?
The next issue would be how to tackle the draft as an expansion team, since you have literally zero players on your roster. The first move is to draft one of two positions, the quarterback or the middle linebacker. The middle linebacker is the quarterback of the defense and the quarterback is well, the quarterback of the offense. Investing a top tier pick in that position would guarantee results and more results equals more people coming out to the games and building a thriving franchise as part of the community.
7) Next Year (220 Words)
The Kansas City Coyotes are a team that surprised everyone, as before this last season we were merely a team of bots. This changed with the core group of guys and gals that would make up our dynamic offense and carry the team to the playoffs where we would ultimately fall short. This season was important as it showed the league that Kansas City was back, and that we’re here to stay. The team has several bright spots on it, beginning with the community. The team gets along amazingly with each other and offer each other support and advice about both matters on and off of the field. In addition to just locker room chemistry, the team has several amazing playmakers that will be featured to return to the team in some capacity that kept the offense driving. While players like Rando Calrissian and Chris Kross will have moved onto the NSFL, players like Tree Gelbman, Andrew Nova and Zero Two will stick around and keep the offense charging forward. While the defense is expected to take a hit with several key players leaving in the draft, the team still has a ton of potential thanks to amazing drafting and overall functionality. The Coyotes took the season by storm, and we look to do so going forward in the future.
9) Brotherly Love (212 Words)
When you think of the NSFL, you think of rivalries. You think of exchanging blows on the gridiron and engaging in combat to win a game of football. But there’s so much more than that, there’s a brotherhood that forms on the field. There’s one player I specifically want to talk about; Leon McDavid. Leon and I both joined the league at approximately the same time and we latched on together as friends. A mutual bond shared between tight ends, playing the grittiest position and the position with the least sexy stat lines, and we both said sign us up. The trenches were muddy, the ice baths were plentiful, but we always had each other. My journey wasn’t the easiest to the NSFL. There were many bumps and bruises along the way on the training field and off of it, and Leon was always there to hold my hand and help guide me along the right way. He had no obligation to, I played for a rival team at the same position competing for the same draft spots, but he helped me anyway. And for that, I’m thankful. And that is why Leon McDavid is someone I love like a brother, because they’ve treated me like family every step of the way.
