Felix Archstone, despite not being the most noteworthy offensive linemen, has had a rather fortune and cushy time in the ISFL and his football career in general for the most part. He had an amazing run in the prospect bowl, had a pretty solid preseason, and then the regular season, while being nothing to write home about, has gone pretty well too. Archstone did his job, which was to contain. He wasn't trying to be the pancake master on the field, he just wanted to keep his QB from taking shots. Thankfully, being on the Coyotes makes that easy, as they have quite possibly the best OLine in the DSFL. Despite this, sacks happen. And Archstone would experience not only his first allowed sack of his run in the DSFL, but his second as well, all in the same game. It was week 7 of the DSFL regular season, and the Coyotes were at home taking on the London Royals. Everyone on the OLine knew it would be a tough game against London's incredibly threatening defense. And boy, for Archstone, this would prove to be incredibly true. With a stellar statline of 0 pancakes and 2 sacks allowed, it was a completely embarrassing performance on a day where everyone else on the line overperformed and held London's defense in check big time. Even more embarrassing, was that it was the day Stallworth broke the DSFL record for pancakes in a single game at 13. Archstone was ecstatic for his friend, but couldn't shake the feeling of letting his line brothers down by playing so poorly on what should have been a record day for them all. It was the first time where Archstone realized just how easily he could go from feeling like the stonewall he claims he is, to drywall for the opposing team to roll through. Since then, he's managed to not allow a single sack and hasn't failed to record another pancake again, but he knows now that you can never feel too comfortable. Because if you do, a guy like Domine or Light might just appear and kick your ass.

Lalo Salamanca has yet to play in a DSFL game, as he has just joined the league, however, he was a star athlete at his alma mater, the University of New Mexico. Lalo immediately impressed his coaches as a walk on, with his imposing frame and speed. He outshone the other receivers on the team almost immediately, and earned playing time early into his freshman season. He built a reputation as someone who would outwork and out hustle anyone else on the team. It wasn't all easy for Lalo, though, as one of his first appearances in a game left him a bit outmatched. He was matched up against a senior corner who was much more experienced and skilled. Lalo was held catchless for the entire game. Afterwards Lalo vowed to never be embarrassed like that again, and he came back and worked even harder the rest of his playing career at college. Lalo has been out of football for a while as he has been working on his family business for many years now.  He's excited to be back in football, and can't wait to show everyone that he's still got it, even all these years later. He'll get his first action this week playing for the Minnesota Ducks.

Throughout his football career, Quavious “Quavo” McGrady was the go to guy when you needed a conversion or touchdown. He might not be the fastest player on the field, but if you put the ball in the air you can damn near guarantee that he was going to come down with it. At LSU, their Offensive coordinator knew this, and knew that the team needed to utilize Quavo's talent when they needed him most. In an important game against their rival, the Florida Gators, the LSU Tigers were trailing by four with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Their starting QB went down with a leg injury, and would not be returning to finish the game. With very little trust in the passing accuracy of the back-up quarterback, the OC advised the quarterback to “Feed Quavo the Rock” as much as he could to secure a touchdown win. Realizing the Gator defense heavily running a zone defense, the LSU OC took advantage of this and found ways to get Quavo open. 16 yard gain. 22 yard gain. 12 yard gain. The defense could not stop Quavo. He thought he was invincible, and decided to trash talk a defender after catching it over him. The defense clearly did not take this lightly. Before the next play, Quavo noticed multiple players on the defense staring them down, but Quavo did not make much of it. The next play was a slant and Quavo knew he would be getting it. Taking off the moment the ball was hiked, it was already heading towards him, sailing a little high and knew he had to leap for it. The moment he jumped into the air, 2 defensive players threw all their weight into him, they were trying to purposefully hurt him. This ended up hurting him had him miss a couple of games. This was Quavo’s “welcome to the league” moment.
