(S25) - PT 1 - Opening Statements

[zeagle1]

Portland's offense is going to regress HARD this season. Last season, Portland had the #1 scoring offense in the DSFL last season, but only posted the third post passing yards per game, and was dead last in rushing yards per game. Portland's offense had HUGE losses to the ISFL, with MVP winning quarterback Sam Howitzer being traded to and subsequently called up by the New York Silverbacks, star wide receiver and returner of the year Korbin Brown being called up by the Baltimore Hawks, and tight end Dave Batista being called up to the Colorado Yeti. Additionally, Lineman Chuck Roth has switched lines and is now a defensive tackle. Kicker Pseudo QB has also been lost as well. 

Obviously, losing Howitzer is huge, but the loss of Korbin Brown will prove even more massive. His returning ability single-handedly turned around games for Portland last season. He scored two return TDs and notched many long returns to give Portland a short field to work with. The biggest loss, in my opinion, is at kicker. Pseudo QB was kicker of the year this past season, tallying a crazy 116 points between field goals and extra points. No other kicker broke 100 points this past season. He will be replaced by a bot kicker, who will certainly account for around half as many points. 

Portland stands to have a rough season coming up for them.
