Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point
QB Chris Orosz of the Yellowknife Wraiths is by far the best quarterback in the league this season. He has two of the best weapons in Josh Garden and Bailey Cook at wide receiver, and he has Bubba Nuck as his running back. With those weapons, Orosz has been able to post 3657 yards, 21 TDs, 17 INTs, with an 84.1 rating and a completion percentage of 63.6 on the season. He will carry these numbers into the playoffs and quite possibly lead the Wraiths into the Ultimus Trophy. Scrub Kyubee on the other hand has been a middle of the pack quarterback. 3181 yards posted thrown, 14 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. A 74 Rating isn’t bad either, but it’s not the greatest. He is right in the middle of the pack, but he does have the league leading rusher in Darlane Farlane. It could be a battle of the Quarterbacks though, with the Wraiths having one of the weaker defenses in the league, and it is going to be great to see these guys go back and forth with each other. Kyubee can possibly dethrone Orosz especially if he can lead the Hawks past the Wraiths and face the ASFC in the Ultimus.

Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point
Jayce Tuck of the Arizona Outlaws is by far and away the best defensive end in the league, and could be in the running for MVP this season. With 67 tackles on the season, 19 tackles for loss, 23 sacks and a safety, Mr. Tuck really knows how to disrupt offensive lines and get in the back field. He is a one man wrecking crew and has been a huge anchor to the stout Arizona Defense. Tuck makes this defense scary and a lot of people expect him to wreak havoc against the Orange County Otters in the playoffs. Adamle Tomlinson is to the Orange County Otters what Jayce Tuck is to the Arizona Outlaws. He hasn’t had the same stats as Jayce, totaling only 31 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, and 3 safeties. But he has been doing what he can to help sure up that Otter line. Without Tomlinson, the Otters would probably not be in the post season. A lot of people are thinking that the Otters have no chance in the game against the Outlaws, but if they are to somehow pull off this upset, Tomlinson will need to have the game of his life.

Bottom Half: Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs. Can be completed at any point
A problem that San Jose has had this season, is no doubt some players quitting on the team and the lack of activity. This has been a problem in San Jose since season one, but there have been a lot of changes since Bailey Cook forced his way out after the Sabercats traded A.C. Hackett. There has been speculation that Hackett would not stay in Yellowknife after this season but a lot of people are not believing that. Losing your top Linebacker, and then your top Wide Receiver hurts a lot. Trading Bailey Cook added Darren Smallwood and that has changed the atmosphere in San Jose. Look for San Jose to make vast jumps in the right direction. Las Vegas had a different approach when they became an expansion team right before the start of Season 2. Instead of building through the deep season two draft, they changed it up and traded a lot of their picks for established players. It had the potential to work, but instead it backfired in their face and now Arizona has the #1 pick overall in the season three draft. The Legion had a plan, and they will stick to it and more power to them. They have the chance to make some noise if they can get some late round sleepers and they have already traded away Matthew Peterson to start recuperate some of draft picks.

Future Talent: Write about which S3 waiver pickup will or did have the biggest impact in the playoffs. Can be written at any time depending on if you choose to write about who already has or who will do good
One season three rookie that has already had an impact and will possibly continue to make an impact is none other than Jayce Tuck’s little brother, Jaxon Tuck. In the game against the Otters alone, he had three rushes for 16 yards, at a 5.3 Yard per carry average and a touchdown. The Outlaws beat the Otters by 4 points, so that touchdown could have saved the season for Arizona. He has been a quiet man around the league, but he has quietly been putting in the work and will continue to improve throughout his career. He has shown flashes of greatness and he already has big shoes to fill following Jayce Tuck, even if it is only the name. He is one of the few players in the league to almost average 4 yards a carry, right under it at 3.9. If Tuck is drafted by Arizona and continues to stay behind the monster line, he will be a great pickup and a man to fill in when Reg Mackworthy gets tired. It already looks like Tuck has picked up a lot from Reg and will continue to do so throughout the playoffs. He is showing that he belongs in this league and will help quite probably bring another title to the Outlaws at the end of Season two.

Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
The MVP of the playoff series between the Arizona Outlaws and the Orange County Otters has to be none other than Tim Pest. He led all Offensive Linemen in the game with seven pancakes and 0 sacks allowed. He also did not have a penalty against the Otters. Having to face against Lightskin Thor and Adamle Tomlinson is no easy task, and Pest handled it with ease. Pest was able to open up room for both Reg Mackworthy and Jaxon Tuck. He is the anchor on that line and he insured that Bronko would have his blindside safe the whole game. Pest followed through with that and helped keep the Arizona Outlaws in it for the long run. If the Outlaws want to win it all again this season they are going to need the same performance from Pest in the Ultimus Trophy, with how Pest has played all season and in this post season so far, is looking like it Is going to happen. Pest is the best offensive lineman this season, and he will continue to carry it throughout. As long as the rest of the line can keep it together, Pest will continue to lead them to the Promised Land.
