6) Next Year
Let me start by saying I’m proud of what Dallas was able to do in our first season. We started poorly, got hot for a bit in the middle of the season, then crumbled down the stretch and missed the playoffs as a result. I think any team in the league would have struggled to stop MB on the road in that first playoff game however. Next year I see Dallas improving drastically, even with the prospect of losing several players to the NSFL. Using my masterclass draft strategy which I have passed down to my proteges, Kyle and iSteg, I expect Dallas to once again be the winners of the S22 DSFL draft. Couple that with some strong returning players, including capped QB Monty Jack, and Dallas has the potential to impress some people. We expect our rivals to be ravaged by the NSFL calling up players in this expansion season and will look to capitalize on that. We’ve been testing several new strategies for a new look offense and defense as well, and like how that looks for us early on. With some solid sim luck and a deep draft class where we’re able to effectively patch holes going into next season, there’s no reason we can’t be the Ultimus winners next season.
8) Revenge
Now two teams we were heavily favored against this season kept us out of the DSFL playoffs. These teams were my former team, Norfolk, and the Portland Pythons. As Norfolk is my former team, I was happy with their success and their strong finish to the season which landed them in the final playoff spot. Portland, however, is another story. Portland is a team that by the end of the season we were quite simply better than. I hate to be that guy, but we were testing at over a 70% chance of beating them at home. Even once we ran the post-week 14 sims we were still testing at 68%. That is a hard loss to take, especially after we nearly beat them at home earlier in the season with a much lower TPE lineup. Next season a goal of ours in Dallas is to not just beat Portland, but to beat them twice. We want the Portland faithful to experience what the Dallas fans went through this year and we won’t be satisfied until they taste that same level of defeat. Add players like Zamir Kehla, who have alienated much of the league through their antics, and the whole team is able to get behind this march for revenge.
9) Dynasty
Dallas sits at a unique turning point for the franchise this year. Next season, the NSFL will be quite full of talented young players and starting spots on teams will be rare to come by. This marks an opportunity for DSFL teams. Drafting well could land you a bevy of capped senddown players in S23 and give you the chance to continue building your team below them. This S22 DSFL draft will make or break DSFL franchises. The Dallas GMs are already ahead of the curve in scouting and have several young prospects already in the locker room getting to know the players and even some NSFL GMs. Should they be able to take advantage of this class, the potential is bright for Dallas. The opportunity to enhance the strengths and fill the gaps created by player matriculation to the NSFL is there, and I fully trust Kyle and iSteg to make the most of it. Right now, Dallas already has several useful pieces on both sides of the ball that are likely to return for another season. It won’t take much, but if the team executes in this offseason, the next 2-3 seasons will likely see us battling MB for the conference (and likely the Ultimini).
16) Scouting Report
For this scouting report I decided to go with a little talked about Dallas player who has been impressive all season, Haha Mango-Panda. This player originally created as a Quarterback in a loaded QB class. After the draft he told me he’d be willing to switch to one of our needed positions to which I supplied a list, and he chose Linebacker. After showing his dedication to helping the team in whatever way possible, he continued to contribute to the growth of the team by being a great earner and engaged in the locker room. He has since developed into one of Big Edd and I’s chief rivals as pokecord masters, but also a very speedy LB capable of playing the nickelback position with quality pass coverage and run stuffing contributions each game. He should begin his next season (whether in the DSFL or NSFL) at maxed out 90 speed and immediately begin pumping strength to bring down bigger, stronger, NSFL players. With his immense contribution to the Dallas culture, overwhelmingly positive contribution to the team in whichever way he could, and on-field production, Haha-Mango Panda finds himself on the same first LB tier as Stanislaw Koniecpolski and Derred de Ville in my eyes. He should be the third LB off of the board and I don’t see him slipping past OCO or NOLA at the end of the second round. Congrats Haha, you’ve earned your success this season and deserve nothing but future success.
