(S26) - PT 1 - Keep the Change You Filthy Animal

[RansackTheUniverse]

After an S25 season where the Baltimore Hawks found themselves just missing out on a playoff spot, the Hawks have reason for optimism as we enter the S26 season. While many teams are dealing with regression, and losing players to free agency and retirement, the Hawks have done much more improving this off-season. For starters, the Hawks only have one player from last years roster dealing with regression - safety Walt Green - and he is only expected to see the field in a limited capacity this season. With only one player facing regression, that means that the Hawks are improving at just about every position on the field. Players at important positions, such as quarterback Chika Fujiwara, cornerback Eldrick Avery, and linebacker Dex Kennedy are all entering their prime, and are among the league leaders in TPE at their respective positions. On top of that, the Hawks only had two notable players lost to free agency, in linebacker Darren De Ville and wide receiver Korbin Brown. However, the Hawks also managed to add a few new players of their own, as veterans Mathias Hanyadi and Dermot Lavelle Jr joined the team in the off-season. They will add some much needed help at running back and corner back, and should really help to solidify both positions for the Hawks. In addition to all of this, the Hawks should be improved in the trenches. They added defensive lineman Etrigan Slayer, who should help shore up the defensive line, and offensive lineman Felix Archstone was called up from the DSFL, who should provide a much needed boost to the offensive line. With all of this said, look out for the Hawks to surprise some people this season.

A new year brings a new season, which in this case brings new expectations. With this new season brings my second year as a member of the New Orleans Second Line. This year things are looking up for not only the team but for myself as well. For the team, we have increased our TPE totals collectively, especially on the defensive side of the ball. My defensive teammates, Toblerone, Blaylock, Light, Rector, and Hexagon have all gotten better by greatly increasing their individual TPEs in order to maintain and hopefully improve upon their own individual seasons from last season. With me, I have finally amassed over 450 TPE and improved my tackling to an elite level to fully round me out and make me into the defensive force I have envisioned myself to be. As a result of these collective improvements, the team has jumped out to a 3-1 record with a defense that has been smothering and forcing turnovers at a high rate, giving us an already high turnover differential. We hope that these improvements to our collective and individual TPEs will spur a well-deserved and long awaited playoff berth in order for us to claim another Ultimus by season's end.

This offseason was full of change for Gary Goodman. He had just finished up a stellar rookie campaign with the Baltimore Hawks, just missing out on the playoffs but the team had a promising future ahead of them. Goodman was gearing up for Season 26 when his destiny would change forever.

The Philadelphia Liberty had a change at General Manager. The new leadership consisted of Lip Chap & Lip Stashe. The team was looking to make moves, especially when it came to shoring up their defense. The Liberty made a trade with Baltimore for Goodman on the day of the draft.

Philadelphia had exceeded expectations in Season 25 with a 7-9 record that many saw as a fluke. The team was lacking in draft picks with only 3 total in the draft. They quickly called up a lot of young players from the DSFL trying to inject some young talent onto the team.

Goodman had a great rookie season and is definitely in position to improve upon his stats. Philadelphia’s offense has regressed a lot since last season, so Goodman will have a lot of time on the field. Goodman will experience a drop in his final standings from last year of 8-8 with Baltimore. Philadelphia is going to struggle but have a strong core of young players. It’ll be a gauntlet for them, but they’ll come out stronger at that end of the season.

So this offseason was pretty crazy for a young KB and I'll tell you why. Essentially, he saw the need to opt out of his contract in Baltimore and head on over to Honolulu, a team that could use him as a WR2. On the trip over there, he actually got into a car crash, no cap. But he's so rich that it barely affected him. He might have totalled his lambo on the way over but that is like pocket change to Mr. Korbin The GOAT Brown. So yeah anyways when he got to Honolulu, he was excited to meet all of his new teammates. But in all actuality, he doesn't give a DAMN about his teammates. He's there to make his money and to get his stats. That's what it's all about. He is trying to cement himself as the greatest of all time and you don't become the greatest of all time by sittin on the bench. So yeah, when he met his new quarterback, Luke Skywalker, he was like "ight so just throw the ball to me and I swear I will catch that thing. You're finna be like "fuck it, Korbin's out there somewhere"" So yeah that's his experience at Honolulu and he's excited to get to work.
