In week 6, the Portland Pythons faced off against the Dallas birddogs, in what would be a 23-17 win for the Pythons. This game was particularly memorable game for myself, where my player, Evan Jones, had a monster night. I had been having a pretty quiet season up to this point, contributing a couple tackles per game and doing generally alright. Jones walked away with a huge game, with two tackles, a pass defense, a forced fumble, and two interceptions. He was all over the field, causing a couple of big turnovers in the second half to help put away the game. The Pythons scored 6 points off of his two interceptions, and was a big factor in the win. The big factor on the other side of the ball for Portland was the dominant rushing attack, led by Anders Chirstiansen. One half of the Pythons amazing half back duo, Christiansen had 115 yards and a touchdown, which came on a big 66 yard run. The dynamic half back averaged 7.2 yards per carry, and helped lead the ground attack to victory. The comeback win was the most memorable game of the season for me, I had my first big game and got the game ball, which is hopefully the first of many in my career.

Hayes is a former rugby player from England, who is looking to bring her exceptional speed to the football field. At 5’11” she is a little undersized for a WR, but she more than makes up for it with her exceptional speed, she can separate from defensive backs with ease. In a similar area, she is great at breaking away from defenders in pursuit once she has the ball, making Hayes an excellent option for screen passes and short routes. Adding onto that, Hayes is great at making defenders miss with her exceptional footwork and agility. She would likely make a good punt returner or kickoff returner. Her play reading ability will definitely need some work, since rugby and football have vastly different systems, but once she gets that figured out should be set. Hands are good for short and medium route passes, but needs some work on deep balls. Don’t expect her to ever beat any defensive back in a jump ball situation. In a couple of games with Minnesota, Hayes displayed a knack for short slant routes, routinely picking up 10 to 12 yards per catch. I expect Hayes to play a slot receiver role for the first season or two, primarily as a short weapon with the ability to turn routine catches into huge gains.
