(S24) - PT 2 - Rising Stocks

[r0tzbua]

As a rookie to this league it’s hard to give an in-depth analysis of what was supposed to happen this season but with some research I will still try my best. A general opinion this offseason seems to have been that the Philadelphia Liberty had a shot at winning it all this season. Last season ended good enough for them and they had a nice draft, so a lot of people expected them to do well. What happened in the first few weeks is totally contrary to what was supposed to happen. Being still winless after Week 7 is probably what no one expected for the Liberty. Their stocks weren’t flying as high as the Chicago Butchers ones (who still aren’t as good as a lot of people expected them to be after their draft) but this seems to be much worse than what people expected. With a defense that gave up the most points in the league and an offense which is not really shaking the earth either it’s hard to win games. If they still want to have a shot at the playoffs – which seems probably unreasonable by now, but let’s play with the idea for a second – they need to totally clean up their game. Philadelphia Liberty needs to start develop a run game and first and foremost start blocking. The defense needs to clean up their sloppy play and generate a lot more turnovers, or even better: start to score themselves.
