(S24) - Ultimus Week

PBE CW - TIER 3 - 2.5/10

PROMPT 23 - TIER 3 - 5/10
If we could, I think that the ISFL definitely should host a pro bowl skills game. It would allow the elite players in the league to showcase talents that extend beyond the football field. However, I think the league should incorporate games that not only test an athlete's physical capabilities, but also their mental toughness as well. Last Ultimus Week, I talked about jousting, relay races, and a couple others. This  time around, there should be a written, football IQ test. Have each team select three of their smartest players, and put them through the ringer with a series of questions about the game of football, defensive coverages, offensive lineups, various things that these players should be experts at. This will really showcase that players not only hit the gym to build strength, but also hit their books and study tapes to expand their minds. Secondly, I think an Offensive Lineman versus Defensive Lineman gauntlet would be a lot of fun to watch. Have the two groups compete in a tug-of-war match, their own relay race, Oklahoma drills, etc. to truly see who the dominate lineman really are. Lastly, I think something completely out of the ordinary, like go-kart racing, would be a lot of fun to watch because it is another example of the players having talents far greater than what they showcase on the field. When it was all said and done, my answer for the grand winners still stand: whatever team has more Coyote or Liberty players. (250 WORDS)

TASK 20 - TIER 3 - 7.5/10
Name: Goat Tank
Position: DT
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 310
DSFL Team: Myrtle Beach Buccaneers
Archetype: Interior Rusher

Abilities: With a pre-draft grade at 75 overall, Goat Tank has quickly made himself one of the premier Defensive Tackles in the DSFL. With his quick feet, he produces insane speed ratings for a guy that is almost pushing 320 pounds, coming in with an overall grade of 80. Combined with his superior strength at a 73 overall grade, Goat Tank reminds a lot of scouts of the NFL's top defensive player, Aaron Donald. If he continues to progress well, as he ascends his core stats to over 70, Goat Tank will become one of the best Defensive Tackles to ever come out of the University of Iowa and Myrtle Beach.

Stats: In his 14 game stint this past season, Goat Tank has provided much needed defensive firepower for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. HIs quick feet and sheer size helped him rack up 59 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and put the QB on his back 7 times. To further improve his draft stock, he was able to pop the football out of the ball-carriers hands 3 times this past season and was able to recover every single one. His massive body, and superior strength, helped him get his first safety this past season and gave a lot of the elite DSFL Offensive Lineman nightmares.

Analysis: Although Myrtle Beach did not win it all, Goat Tank definitely certified himself as a first round talent in this upcoming ISFL draft. After speaking with various scouts around the league, many agree with me that Tank is amongst the elite in the DSFL, and solidified himself as a lock for top DT in the Season 25 class. With superior size and legs for days, I predict Goat Tank will have a career that puts him as the greatest prospect to come out of Iowa. (319 WORDS)
