13) As a rookie my time in the league has been pretty insane. Completely different from what I expected. I got really into the competitive nature last off season and wanted to go as high as possible in the draft. Getting 6OA felt amazing. Having done that I now don't feel too fussed about the ISFL draft. As long as I get picked by the 3rd I'll be happy.
I couldn't have asked for a better locker room than the birddogs. Kyle and Steg really helped in the early days to ensure us Rookies got the best start possible. Kya, Lim, Gucci, Amid, Panda and the rest have been incredibly welcoming as well and show why so many birddogs get called up straight away to the big leagues!
As for my fellow Rookies I got drafted alongside 2 IRL friends which was really pleasant but it was the other Rookies in our squad who've surprised me. R0tz does it all. He'll be a bonified LR stud. Zayn beefs with anything but at the same time is ridiculously easy to talk to and Rev is just about the nicest person I've never met. He manages to make anything wholesome and could hold a conversation with a wet paper bag.
On the field however, was a much different story for the birddogs. Pumped regularly you would expect the Rookies to start to lose any ambition and go inactive, instesd the guys all buckled down and kept acquiring TPE hand over fist.
My player himself has had a mixed first season. Flew out to an early lead for tackles by a DE but that quickly went away and he floundered for a number of games. After pumping TPE into strength the TFLs really started to rack up and I ended up near the top of the DE class again. Unfortunately Crowder was just a week too late to be able to play a game with maxed out TPE, but the banking has already started going into the ISFL draft.
One thing I've found is how difficult it is to do lengthy text posts on a phone. My 7000 word mock was all done by phone - my thumbs haven't been the same since.
Reflecting on the season, although the results haven't gone the right way for us, we were able to finish the league strongly and I feel like I've made new faceless Internet friends which is always an added bonus. I've also increased my cute dog folder with endless photos of Finn from R0tz
20). I wanted to do a scouting report on our friendly neighbourhood Reverend - Dallas Birddogs own Richard "Dick" Leaking.
Leaking clearly wasn't scouted well going into the DSFL draft, tall, dark, handsome and talented - this mother fucker should have been taken in the top 2 rounds, no doubt about it. Instead Dallas were able to pick this man up in the 6th round and their second LB of the draft.
Leaking has gone from strength to strength racking up tackles and sacks, putting himself in the running for defensive rookie of the year. He has maxed out his speed and is at a very good 224 TPE as at the last week of the season.
Richard Leaking is absolutely a locker room leader. During the season he has managed to keep the morale of his fellow birddogs up and has even managed to start helping the team with some win now strategies. The birddogs were unbeaten from the time he joined the game plan meetings.
Leaking will go to bat for you in a fight, he will show full heart on the pitch and he'll grind out that TPE like no other linebacker in the league.
In the asked Madden scouting report we have given Leaking a second round draft grade. If you want him though, you may well need to reach in the first. Leaking would be considered a steal anywhere from the third onwards.
16. Its week 12 and the Dallas Birddogs are sitting clear at the bottom of the league with just 3 wins to their name. They are facing a tricky away game against the team closest to them - The Minnesota Grey Ducks.
Minnesota are by no means a powerhouse and are actually one of only 3 teams Dallas had beaten previously up to this point but the grey ducks had that all important home field advantage.
Long treated as the laughing stock of the league and placed at the bottom of all the power rankings, the birddogs were coming off of a 3 game losing streak and we're yet to win a game outside of Dallas.
The first drive for Dallas ended in the exact manner the majority of drives ended for them with a punt, this time by newly acquired kicker mcDerppants after long time kicker kicky man was taken out to pasture.
The first defensive set by Dallas however set the tone. The grey ducks got their first first down and then immediately threw an interception into the hands of star safety Lionel Rumper. This interception can be seen as the turning point for the Dallas Birddogs season. Scoring off the very next play the birddogs went on to win the game in a very defensive performance. It ended as Dallas's first and only shut out of the season and possibly Dallas's first ever shut out away from home.
