6. Next year
The Dallas Birddogs would have probably made it to the playoffs this season if the sim had not screwed them royally for 4 straight times. Even if they didn’t made it to the playoffs, their record this season shows promise as they fought through the season without a single senddown and yet won against top caliber teams like Myrtle beach Buccaneers. This was due to the outstanding rookie class – the best in the DSFL according to many analysis articles- drafted by GMs inverted and Gucci.
The Birddogs will only be stronger in the next season as they will be getting back several members of said outstanding class back as senddowns to anchor the offense and defense for the rookies next season. And even if gucci stepped down as GM after the season, the scouting ability of the Birddogs had increased a lot, with addition of analytical genius isetgosaurus and several S22 rookies joining forces in the war room. With them on the helm, the next draft class will be even better than this one.
The Birddogs have a bright future ahead of them, with their quarterbacks Monty Jack and several other prominant players returning to the team next season and the GMs and war room members ready to start off a great season with a great draft, the Ultimini is no longer a far away objective. (227)
10. Armchair GM
Improving the Dallas Birddogs is fairly simple as the Birddogs are a DSFL franchise. You just have to draft well. As an armchair GM, I'll discuss my moves to improve the Birddogs through the draft.
The most obvious need for the team will be front seven of the defence. The Birddogs only have one active defensive end- James Cho- now and even Cho has high possibility of leaving the team next season. Also, defensive tackles Deshun Jones and Big Edd and all three Birddog linebackers- Stanislaw Koniecpolski, Haha Mango-panda and Benson Bayley Jr- have a quite high possibility of being in the NSFL next season instead of suiting up in the birddog uniform. So, front 7, especially defensive ends, should be the number 1 priority for the Birddogs in drafting.
For the offence, quarterback and runningback position isn't needed that much as the Birddogs will likely get the starters from the position back for the next season. However, the receiving corps might need some new blood as WR1 William Lim and receiving TE Jeffrey Phillips are most likely to be on the NSFL roster by next season. Even though they have some depth in the position(especially TEs) the Birddogs will seek to replenish the depth. Also, the Birddogs desperately need help in offensive line no human player is in that position. As Monteray Jack had a very hard time under that line, offensive line will be another prioritized position along with front 7. Apart from that, the Birddogs can do with some improvements in secondary for depth and a kicker as their current one is IA. (266)
19. Team culture
The culture in Birddogs locker room is great, especially considering they are an expansion team and do not have their alums in the locker rooms currently. Gucci and inverted, the team's inaugural GM duo, remedied the problem by simply drafting many active people and bringing them to discord locker rooms. As a result of their effort, a lot of people- like current co GM iStegosauruz- who was deemed inactive before the draft was contacted, brought into the locker foom, and merged in as a member of birddog community.
Currently, the Birddogs locker room has numerous vocal members and is active around the clock as members are across several time zones like U.S. east/ west coast, europe and asia. The locker room, or the dog house as the members affectionately call it, is a very cool place to hang out in any time of the day and have a casual conversations about various topics. Also, the dog house often buzzes with NSFL related talks- like statistical analysis or mock draft comments- as many members also actively participate in those activities in forums, often setting new trends. The recent influx of NSFL sxouts, who came to see many of the Birddogs who are regarded as top draft picks, added even more to the activity.
All in all, I love the culture of the Birddogs locker room. Everybody is friendly with each other, and it's a good place to ask any questions that you have. I really hope the rookies after us get to enjoy this amazing culture, too. (256)
20. Nostalgia
The happiest memory I have of NSFL so far is that of my first career touchdown reception, which happened in week 10 game against Kansas City Coyotes. I have been worried for several sims before that as I had no touchdowns for the season so far, despite having a more than deent yard and yard per catch stats. I was hoping that I get a touchdown or two before the end of season, sparing me of the fate of having something like 500 receiving yards and no touchdowns.
However, those TDs proved to be evasive as I didn't had many touches in the first place, let alone in the red zone, because of my team's run first scheme. I then realized the only chance I had at having a touchdown this season was on a big play, as the play calling became even more run oriented than normal in the red zone. As much as I wanted to complain, but our run game was more efficient than the passing game, so that playcalling was the right thing to do.
With that burden, plus the mindset that I have to help my team win a crucial game of the playoff push, I entered week 10 game. And that 30 yard touchdown catch &run in a crucial moment of a close game made me so happy and relieved at the same time. Even though we lost that game in a heartbreaking manner a quarter after I caught my first touchdown, that moment stays as my happiest memory in NSFL. (257)
