I think the Chicago Butchers are in great shape to improve in S23 after a rebuilding year in S22. We bring back all of our veteran front office staff and leadership from a year a go and a good foundation of core returning players on both sides of the ball. We have a new starting quarterback in G O’Donnell who is in his Rookie year and already at a 91 overall in stats. He threw for 215 yards in his debut against Sarasota. He will be throwing to a stout receiving core led by S O’Leary, V Hayes and a stout rookie in G Oberwald who recorded 6 catches for 84 yards in the Butcher’s week 2 win against the Liberty. The Running Back room is veteran, led by J Tertawidjaja and F Hank. The Butchers are much improved on the defensive side of the ball and it has shown in the first 2 games of the season, holding the Sailfish to 20 points in week 1 and the Liberty to 17 points in week 2. The defensive line is stout, led by Vassallo, Works and newcomer M VonPebbles at DE and J Smirh on the interior. The line backers are young but talented, led by Hockhertz and the corners are a strength of the defense. This might not be the year the Butchers win the Ultimus but it should be a step in the right direction for the rebuild.
