Offensive Comparison: ![[Image: lN0zHXD.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/lN0zHXD.jpg)
Offensive Comparison(written): Throughout the 2017 season, running backs of the league have shown that compared to the NFL, runningbacks are much more important than quarterbacks. No QB threw for over 3000 yards, however two back ran for over 1000. I'll be comparing Bubba Nuck, one of the 1000 yards barrier breakers, along with Boss Tweed of the Colorado Yeti. While they are the top two backs in the league, it seems as though Nuck has a clear edge. Nuck outgained Tweed 1218 rushing yards to 547, a gap of over 600 yards. This disparity wasn't just due to more carries because Nuck averaged a solid 4.4 yards per carry while Tweed only earned 3.7 yards per carry. Nuck also ran into the end zone six times compared to a disappointing one for Tweed. The players are relativity similar on the receiving end, with both catching for 50 something yards. Overall, Nuck is definitely the superior back, and likely going to carry his team to victory. Words: 205
S2 Impact Player
Each team in the league has a few players they've picked up from the waiver wire. These players are all future professional athletes who didn't fill out paper work in time for the draft so they'll have to play for smaller one year contracts and enter the league next season. One of these players is Dermot Lavelle, cornerback for the Yellowknife Wraiths. Lavelle has been one of the top defensive backs during this season, despite not having all the opportunities of the players who were in the season one draft. Lavelle will be one of the top performers during these playoffs because of the great play that he's shown during the regular season. During the regular season, Lavelle was tied for second in interceptions for all cornerbacks. Lavelle was also tied for second in passes defensed in the league, and was first for cornerbacks. Lavelle was also 5th in tackles for cornerbacks with 57 tackles. All of these statistics are reasons why Lavelle will make a huge impact in the season one playoffs. Expect him to be part of a strong defensive back squad against the Yeti that will take the ball away. I expect Lavelle to have at least 2 passes defensed and an interception in every playoff game he plays.

Defensive Comparison
While they don't always get all the glory, defensive leaders are essential for teams to be successful in the National Simulation Football League. Two of these players that have helped lead their teams to battle in the playoffs are Harrif Ernston of the Arizona Outlaws and Johnathon Saint of the Colorado Yeti. Both of these linebackers are considered to be top defensive players in the league. Johnathon Saint of the Yeti has fourteen sacks on the year, which puts him at first for linebackers and second for all defensive players. Ernston isn't far behind, with 12 sacks putting him at second for linebackers. Both of these players are also tackling machines. Saint is at 6th in tackles while Ernston is at 10th. These players can also make bit time, game changing plays. Saint has forced two fumbles on the year, giving his team an extra two opportunities to get on offense. Ernston is even better in this department, with an amazing three fumbles forced and three fumbles recovered. Just the recovered fumbles give the offense an extra 21 possible points if they can use the field position and turn it into a touchdown. Tonight, we'll see which of these fantastic linebackers can lead their team to victory and earn the very first Ultimus cup.
