Tier 2 #8: In this league, there is a high abundance of quality, capable talent spread out across both the DSFL. As such, for the end of the year awards, there is a high level of competition for the prestigious awards, most notably that of the Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of The Year awards. For the award that is more applicable to me in the ISFL, the DPOY, I believe that my teammate, Blaylock, overwhelmingly deserves the award! To begin with, looking at his stats for Season 25 in the DSFL, Blaylock had a godlike defensive season recording 87 tackles, 0 tackles-for-loss, 3 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 7 sacks and contributed to multiple coverage sacks, 11 pass deflections, and 5 interceptions all as a free safety! What makes this current season more impressive is that he not only had to share the defensive side of the field with his fellow playermakers, Toblerone, Light, Bode, and myself, who all also had great and impressive seasons under each of their own rights, but he single-handedly can cover both sides of the field as a lockdown defensive back! The biggest reason I believe that Blaylock should receive the ISFL DPOY is that practically every time he took the field, he had a high chance of directly causing a turnover or helping to create one by helping our DLine and LBs cause one through his coverage abilities; in essence, Blaylock’s presence elevated our whole defense, leading for me to also go as far as to call him our whole team’s MVP for this season! Thus, I believe that Hillard should be awarded the ISFL DPOY!
For the other award, arguably the most distinguished award a player can win, the MVP, I believe that Banks II, QB of the Sarasota sailfish deserves this award. For starters, looking at his stats for Season 25 in the ISFL, Banks' stats may not be eye-popping for some, yet when you look deeper into them, there is another story to be told. For instance, out of all the starting QBs in the DSFL, Banks II had the one highest QB completion percentage at 64.2% and the highest QB rating with a 86.2 rating, both indicators of a stable, highly efficient QB. The most important stat, however, is the TD to Int ratio. In this regard, Banks II is clearly the best at this stat. He had 14 TDs compared to 8 Ints, giving him a ratio of 1.75. The aforementioned stats are reflective of why Banks II clearly deserves the MVP as he was able to lead the Sarasota Sailfish to a playoff birth within season 25 of the ISFL and helped to become a playoff team when no one expected them to be one.
Tier 2 # 9: In this league, as there is an abundance of talent with only a few teams to claim such talent, it stands that in a given year, a few of those teams can be championship contenders while the rest of the teams may struggle or even fail to reach the playoffs. As a member of the New Orleans Second Line, we had some hopes to make the playoffs; unfortunately, we were unable to make the playoffs as we just missed out on them by a full game. With this in mind, we head into Season 26 with a few questions and needs to address.
The two major questions at this offseason draft are: how to improve the offense to not be stagnant moving the ball and to replace a few key playmakers on defense that led a solid, turnover producing unit! On the offensive side of the ball, we have starting QB, a great RB, and very good wide receivers. However, we struggled to move the ball at times during the season. The main reason is that we only have one actual player OL while the rest of the OL are just bots. This would lead to many situations in games where we would have incompletions and stalled drives as our OL would not allow our QB time to throw or let our RB get easily tackled on run plays. I believe that we should draft human OL so as to immediately help our offense produce and to help take pressure of our defense as it was left too many times to dry last season, leading us to blow a few key games down the stretch. On the other side of the ball, we need to replenish the defense as great playmakers like Toblerone, Light, and myself are going to be getting older as time goes on in the ISFL, leaving behind questions of sustainability. I believe to counter this we must draft at least a couple players for the DL, LB corps, and DB corps to keep the defense from running out of playmakers and to help keep building this team towards playoff contention. In addition, With regards for the future and next couple of seasons, I think we may have to keep replenishing the defense and hopefully keep the current core together in conjunction with all of us boosting our TPE levels to make us a truly dangerous and elite team that we know we can be.
