ZFL: Season 2007 Begins

[revrew]

The 2007 season of the ZFL is almost ready to get underway. To recap the longest offseason in ZFL history, here is the draft board when the draft was completed by the selection of Mr. Irrelevant, WR Frank the Wonder Fish.

QB:
Little Rock - Johnny Rotten, 22 "He will go #1, end of story, to Little Rock or by trade. It's rare a QB comes to the ZFL with this much talent. Thumbless and Sizzlack will have a competitor in the very near future."
B. 23 "The Army isn't known for producing great QBs. And though leadership and toughness are here, talent isn't. This QB will likely go late third to a team hoping for a miracle."
C. 21 "He's young and mobile, but erratic. An athlete who may not be cut out to be a field general."
D. 23 "A Div.III slinger who nonetheless shows bad mechanics."

HB:
El Paso - Blair Thomas, 21 "Young, elusive, with a great burst. Reminds you of a poor man's Clinton Portis, and deserves consideration in the top 5."
Knoxville - Sprint Jackson, 21 "A young workhorse who has the talent to go in the second, but may not get a look until later in the RB-rich ZFL."
G. 22 "No star potential."

FB:
San Antonio - Teeny, 21 "Powerful young blocker who showed soft hands as a TE in college. The transition to ZFL FB should go smoothly; a top 10 talent."
Portland - Chief Eunuch, 22 "Blocked for a Div I superstar runningback, but never really impressed on his own. Third rounder, likely."
J. 24 "Has the same kind of rep as (I.), but a bit older."
K. 23 "I can't imagine he'd really contribute."

WR:
Fargo - Lobsterboy, 22 "The NFL promised him a special teams role. But he wanted more. He deserves more. A Div II megastar, 6'1, 190, great body positioning and crisp routes that will make him a star in the timing-route heavy ZFL. Top 5 for sure."
Cincinnati - Senor Cardgage, 22 "What he does after the catch is special. At 5'10 165 he won't overpower, but just try to catch him after he gets the ball. Top 10 talent."
Milwaukee - Lightning, 24 "An NFLE standout who has put in his dues for 3 years. All he does is catch the ball. Great hands. Deserves a look in the first, but will definitely be gone by the early 2nd."
El Paso - Marcus Nash, 23 "An Arena League standout who uses a lot of speed, but isn't polished or disciplined enough to really be a star. Still, he'll go second to third and find a spot to start somewhere."
Chicago - Randy Fitzgerald, 20 "Untested JuCo player who has speed and agility, but whose numbers never matched up. Still, with his potential, several teams will consider him in the third."
Portland - Frank the Wonder Fish, 23 "A converted QB who is definitely athletic, but even at 23 is still a bit of a project. He's good enough to be a bench player, but has an upside that could earn him a starting role."

OT:
Little Rock - Dan 'Small Daddy' Wilkerson, 23 "Dependable, well-disciplined player from a small school. Watching him on film impresses. He'll be starting somewhere after getting drafted late first, early second."
Fargo - Janet Jacksons Boob, 23 "Can your coaching staff spin this 6'8 384 pound mammoth into gold? All the body is there, but he's very unpolished. Still, that much mass is worth a look in the second."
Cincinnati - Doragon, 20 "Feisty JuCo star who played more with fire than with ability. A second to third rounder who, if he can be taught, should develop into a starter."
U. 24 "He's not cutting it in NFLE, and I don't think he'll cut it here."
V. 24 "It's time to find another career, fatso."

OG:
Los Angeles - Howard Stern, 24 "A proven track record in college. A proven track record in NFLE. There's no reason this 6'3 305 pound guard hasn't been given his shot in the NFL. We'll gladly take him, draft him top 5, and show the NFL what they've been missing."
Albuquerque - Comic Book Guy, 20 "A young athlete who loves pushing people out of the way. Real blue-collar attitude. Should go second round."
Birmingham - John Doe, 23 "Second to third for this guard who has shown some spark in the CFL, but may still need a bit of work to realize his potential."
Milwuakee - Hole Opener, 23 "Perhaps late third for this sizeable, but talent-deprived guard."
AA. 23 "What I said about (Z) was a compliment compared to what I could say about this guy."
BB. 24 "I doubt he'll be drafted."
CC. 22 "Perhaps professional wrestling would suit you better."


DT:
Los Angeles - Orlando Bloom, 22 "A gargantuan grave digger from the University of Miami. He didn't start there, but this much of a beefy runstuffer is worth considering in the second."
Chicago - Mel Andelettionicalifrackis, 24 "A first-round NFL pick from Notre Dame. Unfortunately, a knee injury scared away his former team, and he's looking to make a comeback through the ZFL. The injury might be a problem, but you still gotta consider him in the second."
Knoxville - John Harvard Jackson, 23 "Harvard isn't known for producing great football players, but this DT was one of their best in recent years. No pun intended, he's smart, and mechanically sound enough to consider second round."
Milwaukee - I eat RB's for Lunch, 22 "He was good at plugging holes at Washington State, but doesn't show enough upfield burst to excel in the ZFL. Second to third, but doubtful he'll star."
e. 21 "I can't recommend him, no matter how large he is."

DE:
Knoxville - Al Jackson, 22 "A converted OLB with tons of speed, though he needs to beef up a bit. Lightning fast off the line, and worthy of top 5 consideration."
El Paso - Courtney Brown, 22 "As opposed to (f.), he's no speed demon, but he can hold the end and outmuscle an OT. Solid player worth looking at in the second, maybe third."
Los Angeles - Bill Murray, 23 "Third round should take this small-school DE off the board. He produced numbers, even if he lacks prototype size."
Portland - Zeke the Quake God, 21 "A young project, but at 6'5 and speedy, you gotta consider him in the third."
j. 23 "Another small school dynamo, but may be too small to ever leave a ZFL bench."
k. 20 "A JuCo project whose chances of panning out are shaky. The body is there, but the work ethic isn't."
l. 24 "Here you've got work ethic, but zero talent. Too bad this guy won't likely be drafted; he's a good guy."

MLB:
Portland - Pop Daddy Fuzz, 21 "Probably the only MLB who will get drafted. He's a tenacious tackler, but short and slow for the wide open ZFL."
n. 21 "A natural athlete, but he doesn't show good game smarts. Might make a better kicker than linebacker. May not even be drafted."
o. 22 "Small school tackle machine, but he missed a bunch, too. Having a hard time finding a single impressive game tape..."

OLB:
El Paso - Mike Croel, 21 "A young OLB who was overshadowed at his Div I school by better defenders. Worth late consideration, but he doesn't look impressive enough in space to star. 3rd round."
San Antonio - Pops, 21 "Not many props for this Div III standout, but he wows with strength and speed. Young enough to be a late-round project."
r. 23 "Maybe in the 42nd round..."

S:
Little Rock - Ronnie Lott, Jr., 22 "At 5'10, he's a little small for a safety, but he's built like a rock and fast enough to cover. A hard-hitter worth second-round consideration."
Fargo - Tom, 24 "Wasn't impressive in college, but in the CFL he turned some heads. Ready for a deserved shot in the ZFL. Second round material."
u. 23 "That's it for safeties. None of the rest are fast enough to cut it in the ZFL."
v. 22 "See above."

CB:
Chicago - Sean Sharper, 22 "He doesn't have the hands to play WR, but he's got the speed and then some. Agility drills were awesome. Maybe he is raw, but he's got the athleticism to go top 5 in this draft."
Los Angeles - Mira Sorvino, 20 "A good looking JuCo project. Silky smooth 6'2, good agility. He takes too many chances, but give him time. Might go late second, but for sure in the third."
y. 24 "His size (6'3) has always been intriguing, but on the NFLE field, he got burned like a marshmallow dropped in the campfire. I don't think starting over in the ZFL will help."

K:
Portland - Juan "Voodoo" Jalisco, 21 "Former highschool track and baseball star who wowed many in a reality TV show. Athletic, strong, fast, dogged determination--most impressive kicker we've seen in a while. Where do you draft a kicker with top 5 talent?"
Albuquerque - Sir Gary Coleman, 22 "Not the fastest kicker we've seen, but his strength to size ratio and overall athleticism will make him some team's starting kicker."
Cincinnati - Thikkaman, 23 "Brainy, skilled, swift. Has a mastery of unusual sports. He'll be a ZFL starter, too."
cc. 22 "Not in the same class as the top 3 kickers, but wirey and deceptively strong. Could get a look in the third round."

[JeeberD]

Woohoo! We're back!

[tucker342]

FINALLY!

[revrew]

Mel Kiper's Post-draft analysis

Little Rock:
QB Johnny Rotten
OT Dan 'Small Daddy' Wilkerson
S Ronnie Lott, Jr.

Little Rock definitely comes away from this draft a clear winner. QB Rotten could turn the Willies' fortunes around quickly, especially with Saleem taking the pressure off. Wilkerson wasn't a real need area, but the talent was too good to pass up. Lott should be a big upgrade a needed position, a real steal in this draft, rounding out a big-impact draft class, top to bottom.

Fargo:
WR Lobsterboy
OT Janet Jackson's Boob
S Tom

Fargo's biggest need areas coming into this draft were WR and OG. Lobsterboy was a homerun pick for the 'Fish. JJB at the top of the second, in my opinion, was a stretch. Safety Tom was best talent available, but in an area Fargo is already deep. If Lobsterboy stars, fans may forget how questionable the rest of this draft was.

Chicago:
CB Sean Sharper
DT Mel Andelettionicalifrackis
WR Randy Fitzgerald

Chicago came in with one glaring need - OG. They didn't draft one. Might that come back to haunt? But CB Sean Sharper has big time potential, and grabbing a WR was also a must. If "Melifrackis" returns from his injury, he will capably replace Chicago's aging DTs. Still, two ancient heroes and a banged up rookie looks like a sad lineup to take into the season.

El Paso:
HB Blair Thomas
WR Marcus Nash
DE Courtney Brown
OLB Mike Croel

Y'all ready for some offense from El Paso? HB was a big need for El Paso, and Blair Thomas looks poised to give the Busters some punch on the ground. Upgrades at WR, DE, and a potential replacement for aging OLB Trev Alberts looks like good draft-board planning by G.M. JeeberD.

Birmingham:
OG John Doe

Yes, Birmingham needed a guard. But walking away from a draft without any real added value? A tough pill to swallow. Good thing BH is young and improving.

Cincinnati:
WR Senor Cardgage
OT Doragon
K Thikkaman

Cinci has a lot of aging players. Picking up Doragon and Thikkaman gives the Chaps some replacements that will be called for shortly. But young QB Mr. Shmallow with WR Senor Cardgage is an exciting combination. Could this become a Manning-to-Harrison duo?

Knoxville:
DE Al Jackson
DT John Harvard Jackson
HB Sprint Jackson

One of the most pathetic D-Lines in football gets a needed boost in this draft. Knoxville rolled the dice a bit on the undersized Al Jackson, but then brought in a solid pick in J.Harvard. I don't know what digamma was doing with the selection of Sprint Jackson, save perhaps going for B.T.A. Perhaps he'll spell the speedy Leon Jackson for a few downs.

San Antonio:
FB Teeny
OLB Pops

San Antonio only had two picks, but boy, do I like what G.M. sachmo did with them. Teeny has the talent to have been drafted higher, and he will probably take over for Metalhead right away. Pops has all the makings of a break-out, and he'll get his chance taking over for the Margaritas weakest link, OLB Quick n'Mean--who is neither. Fantastic job of making two picks count.

Milwaukee:
WR Lightning
DT I Eat RB's for Lunch
OG Hole Opener

I'm just having a hard time getting excited about this draft. It's so vanilla. Lightning looks like a solid possession receiver who could help QB Dan Marino Jr. finally break out of his shell, but the other two picks--not impressive.

Los Angeles:
OG Howard Stern
DT Orlando Bloom
CB Mira Sorvino
DE Bill Murray

The Stars finally get the OG they have needed since the ZFL began. The Star offense will be impressive. Bloom looks big, but he'll be asked to fill 40-year-old Ed Norton's shoes. I'm not sure he's that big. Sorvino is young and has potential, but has L.A. waited too long to replace her father? As for Murray...well, Star fans have a lot to be excited about in Stern.

Albuquerque:
OG Comic Book Guy
K Sir Gary Coleman

Albuquerque needed a guard, and they got one. Though he is a bit young and unrefined. Relies a bit too much on strength, and not enough on mechanics. Coleman has a good upside. AQ treaded water with this draft; hopefully the other teams won't swim past them.

Portland:
K Juan 'Voodoo' Jalisco
FB Chief Eunuch
DE Zeke the Quake God
MLB Pop Daddy Fuzz
WR Frank the Wonder Fish

Portland came in needing a kicker and a fullback. Oh, look. They drafted a kicker and a fullback. They could use a boost at DE. Oh, look. They drafted a DE. Fuzz and Fish were only B.T.A. and project picks, so, just looking at the top 3 picks...can anybody say,"Repeat?"

[Coffee Warlord]

I heart Rev.

[JAG]

Looking forward to the Portland - SA battle already. Good report rev.

[JeeberD]

Sounds like Thomas isn't a bust. Thank the lord...

[digamma]

Anyone have a need for a running back?

[JeeberD]

Not anymore...

[Coffee Warlord]

Depending on how the rookie projects go, I'm gonna have a buttfull of semi-decent young players I'm looking to shop. Wheeling and dealing time!

[revrew]

Just so's ya knows, gentlemen - the above report is Mel Kiper's post-draft analysis. Training camp reports--those that highlight busts and breakouts--have yet to be released.

[The Afoci]

Lobsterboy for bust! Complete the trifecta of crap!

[JeeberD]

Uhoh...

[revrew]

Training camp reports

Little Rock:
QB Johnny Rotten
OT Dan 'Small Daddy' Wilkerson
S Ronnie Lott, Jr.

Little Rock doesn't usually draw that much media attention during training camp. In fact, Little Rock hasn't gotten much attention at all. But they are this year, and Little Rock's 3 draft picks are giving the media and fans quite a show. Johnny Rotten looks poised, confident, and has a gun for an arm. Dan Wilkerson is holding his own on the right side and may earn a starting spot opposite Keith Slapinski. As for Lott, the starting job is all his. He has already made his presence known, pasting Rajah Saleem, blasting FB Kid Rock, and destroying receivers over the middle. An incredible draft class for Little Rock.

Fargo:
WR Lobsterboy
OT Janet Jackson's Boob
S Tom

'Fish Fans have enjoyed watching first-round pick Lobsterboy snag from the air every pass, on target or errant, that comes his way. The high pick has easily outperformed veteran WR, Shane, and looks to be earning his high selection. Tackle JJB, however, continues to show a complete lack of skill or technique to go with his huge frame. He's a clumsy giant, and will need to improve if he wants to play in this league. Safety Tom, however, is looking like one of the real steals of the draft. Already, Fargo's back-and-forth safeties, Safety Boy and Pass It Somewhere Else, are looking over their shoulder at a rookie who might take the starting job away from both of them.

Chicago:
CB Sean Sharper
DT Mel Andelettionicalifrackis
WR Randy Fitzgerald

The string of incoming, young defensive studs in Chicago continues. Sean Sharper looks extremely sharp, and paired with last year's star safety pick, Shut Down, Chicago may have drafted the premier secondary of the future. Second rounder, "Melifrackis", however, looks like a dud. After the knee injury, his cutting ability and strength have atrophied, while his weight has ballooned. If he can't solve his health problems, he may be done. Third round pick Randy Fitzgerald has speed, but in the words of one coach - "He runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. Oh, and his hands." Fitzgerald may not make the cut.

El Paso:
HB Blair Thomas
WR Marcus Nash
DE Courtney Brown
OLB Mike Croel

Mighty EP FB Rashaan Salaam finally has someone to block for--a speedy, elusive, yet powerful back named Blair Thomas. As for the rest of the draft class, there is some promise, but each has much to learn. DE Courtney Brown has impressed enough to earn a starting role, but the others may need some time to see how they develop.

Birmingham:
OG John Doe

The buzz in Birmingham isn't about rookie OG John Doe. In fact, he's more lost in the shuffle than worth mentioning. The real excitement comes from the young, improving players that fill Birmingham's roster. Atlantis and Another Atlantis, Another Troy, Roman and Cyclopes, OLB Aristotle, etc. Doe won't make much of an impact, but these others will.

Cincinnati:
WR Senor Cardgage
OT Doragon
K Thikkaman

If only...
If only Homestar Runner weren't injured. That's what the press is saying as they watch first round pick Senor Cardgage sprint for the endzone every time he catches the ball. If only Homestar could be the possession guy and Cardgage the big-play guy. Cinci could have a killer passing attack if Homestar returns to form. But it's doubtful. OT Doragon looks woefully outmatched. He's got the fire, but none of the skills needed. He just gets frustrated. Kicker Thikkaman looks solid, however, and should soon take over for the aging Coach Z.

Knoxville:
DE Al Jackson
DT John Harvard Jackson
HB Sprint Jackson

Knoxville's training camp held a mixed bag. The defense needs desperate help. Too desperate, perhaps, to put up with a 1st round pick who looks too undersized to make a real difference at the DE spot. Al Jackson isn't living up to his billing, but still might show enough potential to beat out 38-year-old Robert E. Jackson. Second round stud John Harvard Jackson, however, is solid (though not spectacular), and is surprisingly sound enough to take over the starting DT spot. Sprint Jackson is a steady back, but without any of Leon Jackson's explosiveness.

San Antonio:
FB Teeny
OLB Pops

Move over, Metalhead, there's a new back in town. Some questioned San Antonio taking a FB first round, but Teeny is powerful and young, and has cemented a starting role. Meanwhile, OLB Pops may be this draft's biggest surprise. He has speed to burn and sheds blocks extremely well. Though young OLB Rakeface is performing well also, Pops will certainly be the starting OLB for the league's best defense, and may be an early darkhorse for DROY.

Milwaukee:
WR Lightning
DT I Eat RB's for Lunch
OG Hole Opener

Milwaukee grabbed some young players at positions with elderly starters, but the draft class overall looks a bit disappointing in camp. OG Hole Opener is not impressive and may not stick around. DT Lunch will help in future years, especially as Maximillion Powers ages, but hardly looks like an impact player. WR Lightning, however, is a bit of a bright spot--a solid possession receiver who will stick with the team for several years, though he doesn't show much flash of playmaking ability. Still, if he and QB Dan Marino Jr. can make a connection, they may be able to hook up for high catch totals.

Los Angeles:
OG Howard Stern
DT Orlando Bloom
CB Mira Sorvino
DE Bill Murray

Big stories erupt from the Los Angeles training camp. For starters, OG Howard Stern has made a huge splash, and the Star offensive line looks to bowl over opponents, running and passing. DT Orlando Bloom, however, has come to camp overweight, out of shape, and has already suffered a pair of injuries in camp. Whether it's depression, bad attitude, or some other kind of problem, Bloom doesn't look ready to be a professinal athlete at all. There is some speculation among coaches that he may not even get the chance to play for the Stars. Young Mira Sorvino, of course, has drawn plenty of attention. Not only for being a "she", but also for decent play. She will likely take over for Dad right away. DE Bill Murray, however, may not make the cut.

Albuquerque:
OG Comic Book Guy
K Sir Gary Coleman

Though he might get a shot at the starting role, as of yet AQ coaches have yet to see in Comic Book Guy the reason they drafted him. His play has been lackluster, and there is definitely some grumbling in New Mexico. Kicker Sir Gary Coleman, however, has impressed his coaches. Capital City Goofball, known for pulling so many upsets, may have a hard time pulling off the upset over the rookie.

Portland:
K Juan 'Voodoo' Jalisco
FB Chief Eunuch
DE Zeke the Quake God
MLB Pop Daddy Fuzz
WR Frank the Wonder Fish

Good news and bad news for Portland Opponents. First, the bad news. You had better not tie with the Sea Biscuits. First ever first-round kicker Juan Jalisco has been so impressive in camp, the coaches have considered starting him at other positions. But now the good news--none of Portland's other picks have yet to make a decent impression. FB Eunuch might not be able to arrest a starting position, and the others definitely won't. There aren't any real busts in this motley crew, but then, there aren't any real gems either.

[sachmo71]

A breakout player! Whoot!

[The Afoci]

Wow! Two players that might actually be worth something! WOOT!

[illinifan999]

Great, 2 duds.

[digamma]

Kiper screwed me by hyping the DE as a "top 5" talent. How could I not pick him?

Can we play players outside their listed position, or would this be too complicated to add to the player rating system?

[JeeberD]

Good to see that I'll finally have a HB that's worth a damn. Hopefully Brown works out for the Busters...

[Coffee Warlord]

Gambled and quasi lost, I guess. We've got a good team, hopefully the motley crew will develop after a few years, as I planned.

[JAG]

Still looking forward to Portland - SA.

[tucker342]

Too bad John Doe didn't break through... at least the rest of my players are progressing nicely

[Swaggs]

It's on like Donkey Kong...

[Coffee Warlord]

Did you send roster files, Rev?

[sachmo71]

He had to pause the game to have another baby.

[tucker342]

lol

Has it been 9 months since the last one already?

[revrew]

He.He. Not even pregnant, gentlemen, and my youngest turned 1 on Tuesday.

No, haven't sent out rosters yet. Work has been killer. But I'm updating them now by importing the rookies. Will also have Schlereth and other's picks coming up soon.

[korme]

Damn you Homestar, you were awesome but had to get hurt. You and Senór Cardgage would have been a real 1-2 receiving core, ala Rice-Owens. Epic.

But not so fast. Senór Cardgage is the one man show now. And

here comes the Thikkaman!

[revrew]

ZFL G.M.'s - the rosters have been sent out. PM your cuts.

TAKE NOTE: I forgot to check your bench against starters before sending out the rosters. It is possible, yea, even likely, that you will have better players on your bench than starting - so double check that before cutting players.

[JAG]

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

[Coffee Warlord]

MILWAUKEE PRESS RELEASE

WR - Flash retires, stays on as offensive coordinator

Milwaukee Muscle Men longtime standout WR - The Flash, announced his retirement today just before the start of the highly successful ZFL's 7th season. G.M. DolphinFan was saddened to lose the 6 year veteran. But announced that the Flash has accepted the Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator position.

"Even though the league is losing a highly proficient receiver, we are happy to retain Flash to help take our offense to another level. With our rushing game near the tops in the league and a couple of young receivers and QB, we feel the Flash can help these young guys develop and take us to a ZFL Championship."

When asked why he was retiring after only 6 seasons in the ZFL, Flash had this to say.

"6 seasons in the ZFL is a long time. This isn't the NFL. We don't have 46 man active rosters. You play every down on offense or defense. There are no subs. The only guy who gets to rest is the kicker. I am happy with my career here and I hope I can continue to contribute and get this team over the hump."

In other news from Milwaukee, 2 other original players announced their retirement form the league. DT- Godzilla and DT- Sampson both decided to hang it up. No word yet from Milwaukee on whether these two will also stay on to help or not.

[Coffee Warlord]

Portland waves goodbye to another one of their original players today, Defensive End Marcus Augustus Flavius Adrius. Among other notable axes were kicker Bob Sunesson, and halfback Ron Dayne, who filled in admirably for now-coach Antonio De La Tonio.

[JeeberD]

Crap, I keep forgetting to make my cuts. Will do that shortly...

[The Afoci]

25 Pass It Somewhere Else - S
26 Number II DE

Have been traded to Digamma for his 1st and 2nd round pick next season.

[JAG]

Wow, a couple of Fargo castoffs net 1st and 2nd round picks next year. But a nice upgrade with a couple of young B players for the Knoxville D.

[digamma]

Please refer to the "Fargo castoffs" as "Pass it Somewhere Else" Jackson and Number II Jackson.

Adoption papers have been filed in the Knoxville Courthouse.

[digamma]

Dola...

Also looking for a youngish C or better OLB.

[revrew]

I still need cuts from BH and LR - tucker and Swaggs, that's you.

If trades are still in the mix, we can wait, but I'm holding off on the preseason previews until the trading is done. Obviously, the FG/KX trade will affect predictions. Wowsa.

[tucker342]

Hey Rev, I thought I didn't need to make any cuts cause I have less than 5 bench players...

[revrew]

Ach so.

Yes, the only remaining cuts I need are from Swaggs. (ahem)
