With awards season upon us, make up an award for your player win for something not on the football field.
I think the award for most intimidating secondary should be awarded to the Philly Liberty this year, and in particular the spectacular duo of Remus and Romulus Roman. While this is not technically an individual award, I think it highlights the incredible contributions of every secondary member on the Liberty – something I think the whole team deserves. This year’s defense played lights out, crushing opposing offenses with absurdly high turnover rates, sacks, and pass break ups. Remus played a major factor in the success of that defense, allowing Romulus to play the role of enforcer, and other CBs to be as aggressive as they need to be in order to make the big play.
Remus’ role in that defense is to play the center fielder – covering all spaces and acting as a safety net for the, at times, overly aggressive defensive style of Romulus and the rest of the defense. Without Remus, small mistakes on behalf of the linebacker core and corner backs could result in devastating points for opposing teams. Remus and Romulus’ style of play has contributed heavily to the success of the team overall. The style, while different, maximizes the strength and tackling ability of Romulus and the incredible speed and playmaking skills of Remus.
This diametrically opposed style is exactly what makes Philly so scary – Romulus is there to knock your teeth in, and Remus is there to crush your hopes and dreams if you ever manage to get through. This doesn’t even touch on the borderline MVP performance of Xavier Walls throughout the season. Though the sim definitely simmed a few times this year against our defense, many times we lit up the scoreboard and carried the team to victory.
Turnovers were a sort of signature of Philadelphia, which of course probably made it difficult for the opposing little dot to psych himself up before each game. (316 words)
Write a short biography about your player.
Remus’ decision to ultimately leave the New Orleans Second Line to pursue a different, less glamorous position with the Philadelphia Liberty was a choice the befuddled most pundits and left everyone wondering what happened. His overnight success as a converted Safety (from Running Back) was a bit of a surprise, but definitely solidified his choice. This reporter got a background story on the most controversial choice of season 32.
Remus has publicly spoken in detail about his love and respect for the New Orleans organization, the team, and it’s General Managers, but the real story is the love that Remus has for his family. Remus dreamed of playing alongside his brother since pop warner days, and beyond that developed an incredibly close relationship with his college teammate Xavier Walls as well (Remus constantly refers to him as his "brother from another mother").
This kinship, and the desire to buy a house and season tickets for their mother to attend every game were the primary motivations for Remus to leave New Orleans. Growing up, Remus and Romulus’ mother attended every game of theirs – always switching jerseys at halftime so she could support both of her sons. Once both were drafted, their mother couldn’t attend both of their games anymore – breaking that ironman streak she had of game attendance, something that affected the whole family. With this decision (and a long term commitment from Philly) both sons are moving their mother into their recently constructed duplex mansion.
With Philly, Remus may have found his calling as a Safety. He had a lot of success as a Running Back, but he always felt he was a stronger defensive player than anything, and had a strong desire to play that side of the ball again. Remus is loving life on the Liberty, and truly feels like he has found his long term home. (311 words)
