(S21) - Ultimus Week

[JaytheGreat]

1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Another season done and just like the last couple of seasons it ended the same way, with the Wraiths making it to the Ultimus and once again not being able to win the big one. Unlike the last few seasons were Yellowknife were one of the favorites to win, this season we were big underdogs. In the Wildcard round we beat the Yeti's who had beaten us twice this season. We beat them by 13 points mostly on the strength of our defense that included absolutely shutting down the Yeti's run game. In the conference championship we once again relied on our defense to upset the heavily favored Baltimore Hawks. This game included a pick 6 and a blocked punt along with causing 2 forced fumbles. Once again we made to the Ultimus to play the New Orleans 2nd Line. For this game both sides of the ball failed to show up, with the defense allowing almost 600 yards and not getting stops on 3rd down. New Orleans went 11/19 on 3rd down which is around 57% and just not good enough. Offensively we couldn't run the ball finishing with 60 yards on 18 carries. While we could move he ball through the air, we didn't do so effectively, only going 24/40 through the air.

19) Team Culture
Written: What is it about your team’s culture and/or locker room that makes you happy to be there? If there are any problems, what do you think should be done to improve them?

One of the reasons I like playing for the Wraiths so much is the team's culture. First off is the locker room, we have a very active locker room. It starts with GMs flyeagesfly29, and shadyshoelace, they are two great leaders that keep the locker room going and keep spirits high. There is also a lot of active players in the room as well. There are hardly any inactives, and that is helped not only by the team's success but also everybody talks in and participates in the locker room. Another thing that helps locker room culture is the public and prospect lobbies, both are full of former and current GMs, former players, friends of the team, and potential draft picks. All of those combine to become one of the best locker room in the NSFL. If you need help with your player build there are multiple people in there that are willing to help. The team gets fired up for game days, and is always welcoming to new players. To the team there are no stupid questions, no one gets laughed at or mocked no matter how simply the question is. When I was drafted I was more of a shy lurker but they welcomed me and took me under their wing, and it's a big part of why I enjoyed my time so much there.

20) Nostalgia
Written: What is your happiest memory in this league?

By far the happiest memory in the league was draft night. I had been scouted by a few different teams, and had good conversations with a few teams but I still had no idea where I was going to go. As I watched the draft stream and as the picks start rolling, I start to get nervous. Where was I going to go, and which team would I eventually land? It finally comes to the 9th overall pick and I hear the broadcasters call my name. Most of them had no idea who I was and didn't really give me a great scouting report but that didn't matter I had been picked by a NSFL team. The Yellowknife Wraiths decided I was their guy and only a few minutes later I got a notification on my phone, my new GM had already sent me the link to the locker room. I was already on cloud nine as the Wraiths were on of the top teams I wanted to play for. I was introduced to the rest of the team and was immediately welcomed with opened arms. I was informed by GM Gideon Graves that I would be getting called up from San Antonio (now Minnesota) and would be starting on the team right away. Ever since I have been a happy player in the league, making 3 straight Ultimus appearances and now having a chance to become something special with Honolulu, but looking back draft night will always be my favorite memory of my time here.
