(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals

[Troen]

The season is at it's half way point. Your player has hopefully been performing up to your standards, but the sim gods are not always as nice as you want them to be and there is always things to improve on. Talk about one aspect of your player's game that you want to be improved upon by the end of the season, and how you plan on improving upon that certain aspect.

I've had a few really good games so far this season, highlighted in particular by week three vs. the Silverbacks where I got 2 sacks and forced 2 fumbles (though I only recovered one). But on the other hand, you have games like week ten at Honolulu where I had two tackles and no real impact on the course of the game. I know that defensive line is very swingy like this and some variation is always going to happen week to week, but I really want to feel like I'm helping. And that's actually the thing - even when I'm not getting stats myself I know that I'm actually helping out others by taking up two lineman, or by cutting off the crossing routes and forcing the QB to throw to a second or third read. But when it comes to showing people who aren't watching the game tape the impact that I'm having, I'd like a little more consistency there.
As for how I'm going to improve to make that happen - well, I'm probably not. Altering the game plan to try and get more stats for myself is selfish and probably going to hurt us when it comes to trying to win the games. And the end of the day that win total is what I care more about than any of my personal stats. Especially after the enormous disappointment of last season's record, being in second and only 1 game behind first feels great. I'm just saying, I wouldn't mind also having a couple sacks every game.
