(S25) - PT 5 - Playoffs? You Kidding Me?

[AdamS]

Oh look it's "give away your team's strategies" the point task. Fun. I think for the Second Line its obvious that a lot of things haven't gone our way this season. We're not looking so hot at 6-8 in a competitive Conference. We haven't clicked on offense a lot of the time and its put our defense into some bad spots. When our offense does click it's not always well timed to the defense. Each player's obviously gonna have their own thoughts as to why but for my part I take responsibility. I personally feel that I haven't been able to command enough respect over the middle to force defenses to account for me. 18 catches in 14 games says they barely even have to commit a player to me. Which means there's a whole space in the middle they don't need to even worry about. Which leads to being able to add additional pressure on the line, and the sidelines. If I'm performing, they have to make sure that inside space is covered and it creates bigger gaps for my teammates to work in. This isn't just lip service. A well run offense is a series of cogs interacting with each other and mine isn't moving that quickly. The better I work the more everyone else on the offense clicks. Which then leaves our defense out to dry a little less. Which then gives them more opportunities late in games to get the ball back to us and actually depend on us to put it in the end zone. You really wanted scouting info? Well there it is. If we're going to make the playoffs, improve as a team, take steps towards winning the Ultimus....it starts with me doing my job better than I have so far. And I still have two games to really up things. That's how my team improves. Me. Or I could lower my team's chances to win and give handjobs to the Coach to get my number called more.  You know. Different strategies.
