I am doing 2 tier 2 works.
6) The playoffs have finally arrived. Choose one playoff team that is not your own from either league and recount how they got here in 400 words or more. What challenges and hurdles did they face in the regular season? Did they cruise into home field advantage, have to fight off contenders for the wild card, or sneak in on obtuse indexing rules? Are they led by MVP players on offense, or is a stifling defense the engine to their success? Don’t be afraid to go deep.
Let’s talk about the Orange County Otters as a team who really turned their season around to make the playoffs in a 4 way tie in the ASFC. The Otters started off the season 0-3. This is not the way you want it to start. I know people say not look at preseason but they were also 1-3 in the preseason. Everything was looking disastrous for them. Their rushing defense was absolutely pitiful. The offense was moving decently, not great, but passable. Week 1 they gave up 181 rushing yards, week 2 they gave up 130 rushing yards, and week 3 they gave up 152 yards. I don’t know if this is normal for the sim as I’m a rookie but man in real football this is a big yikes. However, things changed in Week 4. They gave up fewer rushing yards at 113 and finally got to take advantage of a rookie QB with 2 interceptions. In Week 5 they held the Outlaws to 22 yards on the ground. Things were really looking up for this defense, this time against a QB of Jay Cue’s caliber. Things weren’t all hunky doory though now as they faced arguably the best team in the league, the Yeti, and gave up 203 rushing yards. The next 2 games they managed to hold both teams under 100 rushing yards. But then once again against another really good team, the Sailfish, they gave up 219 rushing yards. This team was so back and forth on their rush defense and it was clearly a problem for them. The Otters then went on a 4 game win streak where they held the Hawks to 80 rushing yards, the Wraiths to 95 yards, the Second Line managed 136 rushing yards, and the Sabercats to just 79 yards. Out of these 4 games the Second Line game was the closest, a 6 point margin. More reason to focus on their rush defense. The next week against the Copperheads they lost their rhythm and couldn’t stop the run giving up 141 yards. Lo and behold, they lost. They won the next week against the Hahalua who only had 82 rushing yards. In the final week they needed a win to secure a win to make playoffs. Man did they want to play it risky. They gave up 156 rushing yards but still managed to barely squeak out a win over the Outlaws. The whole point of this article is that if you are against the Otters, run the ball. In games where they gave up over 100 yards on the ground they were 3-6. Not good. When they held teams under 100 rushing yards they were undefeated.
7) Awards season is a big part of the offseason festivities. Take the stand, in 400 words or more, for one or more players that are not your own, and argue why they should receive awards glory. They can be your teammates or anyone in the league. How did their stats and on the field contribution contribute to their case this year?
The first person I’m going to talk about for awards is rookie running back for the Hahalua Nicholas Ayers. He led his team in rushing yards and had most receiving yards in the RB locker room. This was done over Keʻokeʻo Kāne-Maikaʻi who has 200 more TPE than him. As for stats he was the 7th best running back on the ground with 993 rushing yards. Gosh 7th? That’s not award material. But on average out of those top 7 he is tied for 3rd in average per carry. It’s looking a little better for him. He also scored 10 touchdowns on the ground which puts him in 3rd out of all running backs. In the receiving game he was up 7th in receiving yards when compared to all RB and FB. 2 of these players in front of him were used nearly exclusively in the passing game so let's just call him 5th out of running backs. Out of the running backs he is 2nd in touchdowns in the passing game. Being third in touchdowns on the ground and second in the receiving game amongst all running back really shows how special this guy is for the Hahalua. And he did this as a ROOKIE. This guy has nowhere to go but up.
The second player I’m going to talk about is Colorado Yeti quarterback Wolfie McDummy. McDummy led his team to the best record and the league and the favorites to win it all. He was 5th in passing yards which initially looks like an indictment against him. Especially when Banks had a thousand more yards than him. However, McDummy led all quarterbacks in completion percentage with 62.5%. He also was second in touchdown passes with 31. Banks did have more touchdowns than McDummy but he also threw 19 interceptions compared to McDummy’s 9. Banks is literally Jameis Winston. McDummy is Russel Wilson. If you compare the stats they had to their NFL counterparts they are shockingly similar and we all know who is the better QB between Winston and Wilson. One more statistic I’ll bring up in the passing game is passer rating. He finished the season with 96.9. Only one other QB was even over 90. Lets move over to the rushing game. McDummy finished with 344 rushing yards, putting him in third place among quarterbacks. He also found his way into the endzone 5 times on the ground. This puts him in 2nd, 1 touchdown behind the leader. He should definitely be in contention for various awards based on his success and his teams success.
