Once again, I will make a case for Jed Podolak of the Honolulu Hahaluas to earn an award at WR. This season he tied with just two other players for first in the entire league with a total of 15 TDs on the season. That is just one shy of a 1 TD per game pace and this shows that Jed is a money player who can be counted on in the clutch moments of a game. He knows how to get open when it matters most. On top of that, one of the other two receivers who accomplished this lofty goal plays for the Colorado Yeti. It is easier to score TDs when you play for a 13-3 powerhouse than it is when you play for an 8-8 solid, but not yet great squad.
In addition, Podolak wracked up the 9th most yards receiving on the way to his 15 TDs. And of those 8 other receivers ahead of him in total yards, Jed averaged at or above (or slightly below by .1) 4 of them. This points to Podolak’s amazing efficiency and this efficiency deserves a nod from the league.
If this doesn’t qualify Jed Podolak for top honors, it surely puts him in the conversation when the best WRs are being discussed.
27) The league is prone to change. Reflect on a past change in either the ISFL or DSFL that significantly impacted something - be it a rules change, an expansion or contraction, or even a complete rebranding. What were the effects of this change, and how has it shaken the status quo? 2.5 TPE
It is hard for me to get away from the expansion that brought the Sarasota Sailfish and Honolulu Hahaluas into the ISF as a change that has meant a great deal to the league. This expansion brought new opportunity to a number of players who had a hard time shining on their old team, but became stars on their new one.
One of those players is my own player Jed Podolak. Jed was on his way to becoming more important on the Second Line, but during his time in New Orleans, it felt like the team had a definite strategy of run first and pass only if needed. Honolulu had more of a tendency to air it out – especially after his first season with the club – which played into the strengths of Podolak. And it certainly rejuvenated my own interest and commitment to the league and it is engaged users that create a great experience for everyone.
In addition, Honolulu and Sarasota brought another pair of competitive teams into the league which made everyone up their game a notch. That’s hard to do as the 3-13 and 4-12 records of Berlin and New York attest to. In just their second seasons, Sarasota went 8-8 and Honolulu 7-9 pushing the other teams to continue their engagement in order to keep up.
