Chesapeake Chili Dogs - a multi-player FOF dynasty [Archive]

Without further ado, here is the snapshot history up to this season – detailing four years of Chili Dogs football in a nutshell:

The Initial Draft

In the FOFL, we actually went through the initial draft step by step, which allowed for a great deal of control over the players we drafted for our initial rosters. My strategy was to focus on talent along the defensive line first, secure a quarterback fairly early, and fill in from there. After a number of rounds, it became clear that I had fallen irretrievably behind in certain areas, notably offensive line. So, I decided to wait on the line picks, and didn’t make much of an investment there until very late in the draft, when I went after targeted players – securing an OL composed entirely of pass blockers who had affinities with my position leader.

In another unexpected twist, I picked up a second QB fairly early in the draft, after securing my franchise signal caller in Oscar Ozuna, we grabbed a seemingly strong reserve Hilton Boner (obligatory pause for snickering) in the 8th round of the dispersal draft. Intending to go with a pass-inclined offense, I felt that getting Boner either as an insurance policy or as potential trade bait made sense. An early decision with intriguing repercussions later on.

Another factor that casts a long shadow on this whole league is the original roster file. The league used a roster utility to generate its original player universe, and the result (intended or otherwise, I don’t really know) was a fairly low grade of players overall. There were a few stars, but by and large teams were populated with marginal players in many starting positions. It takes some adjustment to see a player rated 30/50 or so as a guy with value, but this league requires that adjustment, at least in its early years. That decision continues to have meaningful effects, even as the league has evolved.

2003 Season

In the league’s first season, our squad took the field, fairly well equipped for the game plans I had envisioned. We were prepared to pass the ball a lot, play very tough against the run, and hope for the best.

Through five games, we were 1-5 on the season, a dismal failure. Oscar Ozuna had posted one good game, but the offense seemed downright inept and the team was foundering. In a “shake up” move, we inserted QB Hilton Boner into the lineup for week six, and he delivered in a big road win with 3 TD passes. We rode the hot hand from there as Hilton Boner led us to 9 straight wins – and he put together a fantastic second half of the season, ending up with a 24/6 TD/int ratio, and an 89.2 QB rating for the season. With the late rally, Chesapeake finished 11-5 on the season, winning the NC East division by one game, and securing a #3 seed for the playoffs.

We hosted division rival Dodge City in the playoff opener, beating the Vigilantes 19-16 in our first playoff game. But in the divisional round, we traveled to Seal Beach, and were beaten by the eventual league champion Sting Rays to end our debut season.

2004 Season

We returned from the 2003 season looking to make improvements on the roster. We were among the most active teams in its initial season of free agency, and secured a number of new players. One thing done by necessity was a rebuilding of our offensive line, as our veteran position leader (around whom the whole system of affinities was constructed) retired, leaving me without a workable backup plan. I also sought to improve the secondary, which I felt was another area of weakness on the team. We traded our 2nd through 7th draft picks to secure an additional 1st rounder, so we looked to target our need areas at the top of the draft, and did so by acquiring CB Howard Kindred and LT Derek Gourdine with back-to-back selections in the late first round.

We once again started the season slowly, getting off to a 2-3 start, but put things together a bit, and finished the year at 10-6, good enough for another division crown, and another #3 seed for the playoffs. And, in keeping with the prior year, we went two and out – winning our home opener (against Davis) but then losing to Subby’s Washington Piledrivers in the divisional round. The league watches Seal Beach claim their second league championship.

2005 Season

In 2005, the league finally saw a few meaningful free agents shake loose, and Chesapeake was again a very aggressive player in the market. We signed LB James Dupree to a solid deal, getting a versatile starting-caliber player for our defensive front. We also picked up a couple of veteran contributors elsewhere as free agents, and strengthened the team overall. A major trade during free agency brought in DE Richard Buxton, who had been tagged by Fritz’s French Ticklers, but was seeking a huge contract extension. The one-year rent-a-stud tactic seemed worth a draft pick, and we had the cap room to take his big salary for the season.

In 2005, the Chili Dogs defense elevated its presence dramatically, with the additions of Dupree and Buxton to an already-solid defensive front, we became very tough against the run, and solid against the pass. The offense, using a vast army of decent skill position players, posted solid numbers – staying true to our pass-heavy commitment, and we were among the top scoring teams in the league. We started the year with a string of 11 wins, amidst whispers of an undefeated season. But after being stung by two-time champions Seal Beach in week 13, we coasted home to a 13-3 record and home field advantage for the playoffs.

In our divisional game, we hosted Seal Beach – the two-time defending champs had slumped this season, but certainly were a formidable foe. Hilton Boner shows up on fire, throws 4 TD passes, and leads our group to a 35-3 rout of the Sting Rays. We post a 30-3 win over Hell Creek in the conference championship, and in the Championship game, our defense is once again monstrous as we defeat Las Vegas 22-9 for the league championship. While Hilton Boner got the MVP award for the title game, it was clearly the Dogs’ defense, particularly the defensive line, which made the real difference, as we forced errors and made big stops throughout the game to secure our rings.

2006 Season

In 2006, we return to defend our title, and make moves to try to do just that. The biggest deal we execute is to arrange the sign-and-trade of DE Richard Buxton, who was asking for a fortune as a free agent. We work out a deal with Wigport (a team executing a major purge-and-rebuild program) to have them sign him and trade him to us. We lose a draft pick, but get a top-shelf player on a cheap deal, and a hope to keep the fearsome defensive front from 2005 essentially intact.

The season comes, and I am basically baffled. The Chili Dogs get out to a slow start once again, but this year we cannot really pull out of the nosedive. We limp to an 8-7 record with one game left, and as fortune would have it, we are once again head-to-head with division rivals Dodge City, in a winner-takes-the-division play-in game. The contest goes into overtime, and Dodge City gets a TD to secure a 12-6 win and send us to the sidelines, missing the playoffs for the first time.

What happened in 2006? I’m really not certain. The team was largely the same as in 2005, when we were truly a dominant force in the league. Superficially, QB Boner’s production dropped a bit, but it was on the defensive side where we noticed the major dropoff. Our titanic defensive front was no longer a brick wall against the run, we gave up big plays, and we allowed 269 points on the season. A disappointing drop-off for this team, falling right out of the league’s elite with no warning signs at all.

My best guess is that the 2005 team was truly overachieving, and that the 2006 team basically underachieved. I think we were better than 8-8 last year, but through luck or poor planning (or more likely both) we ended up failing to reach our potential. So, we approach the 2007 season with a wide-open palette. Is this still the towering title team of 2005? Or is this the meek squad of pretenders from 2006?

Into the 2007 season we go, as the pieces come together for another run. Rebuild? Reload? Oh, and in case that decision wasn’t tough enough, our franchise quarterback is asking for $10 million a year, after playing under the franchise tag last season. So that’s square one, whatever we decide to do.

2007 offseason

We enter the 2007 offseason with decisions to make. In particular, we have two very solid players without contracts – QB Hilton Boner and S Mark Carr. Boner is in his 14th season, and is a proven veteran for us, with a Superbowl MVP and the career lead in passing yards. Mark Carr is a nice 9th year player, who has played healthy for two seasons now and has posted solid, though not exceptional, results. I decide to franchise Carr, and let Boner go into free agency. Last season, Boner’s tag number was some $10 million, and I’m hoping that his age will keep him from being bid too heavily by anyone else, and that we can re-sign him at a reasonable price.

My gambit pays off – a few weeks into free agency, Hilton Boner inks a new deal to return to Chesapeake. He gets $6 million up front, but the first two years of his contract are at salary of $3 million – meaning our cap number for this year and next is only $5 million. That is meaningful relief compared to last season. Carr’s tag value is some $3.6 million, but I am optimistic that we will renegotiate a long term deal for him, which will also clear up some cap room this season.

In free agency, we manage to re-sign a player we picked up as a free agent last season, who is a perfect fit for our secondary. CB Ferdy Nave is a big hitter, but has excellent skills in man coverage and can make interceptions, so he projects to slide right into a starting job for us. CB has not been a team strength thus far – this guy fell right into our laps last year, and we’re thrilled to retain him.

Amidst the excitement of the draft, we opt to swing a deal, once again sending away all of our later round selections, along with next year’s first round pick. In exchange, we land another starting-caliber CB, in 11th year John Raab. Raab is also a perfect fit for our secondary’s style, and we again benefit (hopefully) from a team going through a bit of a purge. Raab comes to us very cheaply for this year, and affordably for two more – so this should sew up our CB needs for right away. In addition, my remaining draft pick in round one goes to a CB as well, as we target South Carolina coverman Billy Joe Scanlon with our selection. I’m optimistic that with this rebuild of our coverage squad, we will be better than ever against the pass.

As I write, we are nearly halfway through the initial 2-stage free agency process, and somewhere in round two of the rookie draft. We are basically done with both – have no more draft picks and no intention of moving back into the draft, and save for a few “filler” players, aren’t making any major pursuits of free agents. If a meaningful player shakes loose, we may move in, but for now, I think the roster for this season is starting to come together.

Next, I will review the roster as it stands – and try to give a flavor for this team right now.

Roster Review

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Boner, Hilton 7 QB 14 55 61 3 yrs
Chesley, Bobby 9 QB 9 48 48 3 yrs
Ping, Kendrick 3 QB 7 36 36 4 yrs
Perry, Mohammed 14 QB 18 34 40 2 yrs
Buckner, Sherman 13 QB 3 25 37 ---
Sellers, Derrick 12 QB 4 24 36 ---

With the return of Hilton Boner, we have more than we need here. We will not carry six quarterbacks this season, but we may carry four. Boner is the unquestioned starter for us, and Chesley is very affordable for a solid backup, at least for this season.

Perry is a mentor at the QB position, and I think it’s reasonably likely we deal him before the season starts, probably to someone who has drafted a young QB. Both Buckner and Sellers are guys I wouldn’t mind holding onto, if we have the roster spots to do so. Potentially, that leaves Kendrick Ping out as a casualty… but I’m open to anything, as he’s not that bad, either.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Burnley, Jeffrey 24 RB 11 36 37 3 yrs
Doughty, Matt 32 RB 10 34 35 3 yrs
Copley, Craps 46 RB 6 33 33 3 yrs
Smith, David 30 RB 6 32 32 2 yrs
Lee, Lewis 33 RB 3 20 21 ---
Emerson, Charles 42 FB 3 50 68 2 yrs
Richardson, Nicholas 44 FB 6 46 50 2 yrs

This team has never been strong at the RB position, and that continues. Jeffrey Burnley was our workhorse back on 2003 and 2004, posting about 1700 yards over those two seasons – but he has never averaged even 4 yards per carry. The last two years, he has slipped back to become a complementary runner, working mostly behind Jeffrey Amburgey, a decent veteran RB we dealt for in early 2005. However, this offseason, we lost Amburgey via free agency, to a team that seems to be aggressiveley collecting mentors – so he is gone.

Doughty is a utility back, a good pass catcher, and good special teamer. He played most of last season as our third RB, and was pretty effective – 53-220 rushing (4.15 ypc) and another 185 yards receiving. I expect him to make the team, but don’t have high hopes that he is capable of stepping into a larger role – I don’t think he can get it done between the tackles at all.

We signed RB Craps Copley as a free agent, with an expectation that he would compete for the starting duties. He has been a starter for Las Vegas, but has never been too effective there – so we have had mixed feelings. He also does not get along well with position leader FB Richardson, which raises some concern as well.

FB Charles Emerson was a first round pick, who I expected to be a complete do-it-all player. However, I was very disappointed to see him regress after his first training camp rather than “boom.” So, we have an overpaid fullback who doesn’t really have the skills to be featured at either TE or RB… instead we use him for short yardage situations, and as a spot player as needed. Cutting him doesn’t save us much, or else we’d consider it - he likely will slot again as our starting FB, a position that gets fairly little use in my offense that features many multi-receiver sets.

FB Nicholas Richardson actually has a shot to start the season as our featured back this year. He oddly enough has a void in “power inside,” but is otherwis pretty solid, with ratings of 50-75 in most areas. Last season, we rotated him in at HB for a fee games, with decent results. I’m open to him as a HB possibility, especially in the absence of particularly strong alternatives.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Rego, Clyde 88 TE 10 62 66 4 yrs
Lannon, Clay 82 TE 4 21 34 1 yr.
Kerr, Gino 28 TE 3 20 36 ---

Our offense doesn’t employ the TE on a full-time basis, so this position ends up being largely reserved for special teamers and role players. However, last year in free agency, we landed Clyde Rego on a pretty affordable deal, and he stepped right into the role. He’s a star-caliber player who grabbed 45 catches for us last year – and ought to have a comparable role this season. We expect to secure a long term renegotiation with him, and lock him up for the foreseeable future.

Lannon and Kerr are role players, in all likelihood only one will make the team. It will be a tough call, as Lannon is an affinity guy and a solid long snapper and special teamer, while Kerr (we believe) has some undeveloped potential and is also good on special teams.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Jackson, Mark 86 FL 10 44 49 4 yrs
Berkey, Justin 81 FL 9 42 46 5 yrs
Meneses, Marcus 87 FL 7 40 44 2 yrs
Peter, Walter 89 FL 12 39 39 2 yrs
Kahn, Ryan 85 FL 6 31 34 2 yrs
Castellano, Jimmy 80 SE 8 33 38 2 yrs

For a pass-happy team, one might expect more standout players here, but we didn’t invest early at the position, and have not had the top draft picks necessary to land high-quality young talent. So, instead, we have a nice fleet of role-players, all of whom contribute fairly well.

Mark Jackson has the most overall talent of the lot, in my book, and has been solid for us for four seasons. He’s very consistent – about 3200 yards in 64 games, no season below 700 yards, none above 900. Pencil him in for about 55-800 and 6 TD.

Justin Berkey generally starts in the slit end slot, and has seen his role grow over time. He broke the 1,000-yard barrier last season (our first player to do so at any major stat) and is our career leader with 3,677 yards receiving and 29 TDs. He will drop a pass or two, but he’s a classic case of a decent receiver with a high “route running” rating (my scout says 78) making for a pretty nice set of stats when it’s all said and done.

Marcus Meneses generally starts in the slot, as the third receiver. That role got him on the field for 452 pass plays last season, so it’s essentially a starting role. He posted 931 yards in that spot, and his 16.6 yards per catch was a team high.

Behind those three, we have decent reserves. Walter Peter is a solid veteran and a position mentor, who had a 1,000-yard season in 2003 with Duluth. Ryan Kahn and Jimmy Castellano are fairly high-skilled guys who have low ratings in route running, so when they see field time, it tends to spike the production of other players as much as anything.

I am comfortable with this group overall – no real standout, but we get solid production from the lot of them, and now that we have a solid TE threat to work underneath, the options for Boner are quite plentiful.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Wallace, Richard 55 C 6 56 58 3 yrs
Johnson, Reinaldo 51 C 9 39 44 3 yrs
Houtz, John 52 C 9 38 45 1 yr.
Lyon, Brett 53 C 2 23 43 1 yr.
Beaton, Daniel 69 LG 7 35 35 1 yr.
Shaffer, Joseph 77 RG 12 44 44 3 yrs
Rumph, Hugh 76 RG 3 28 40 4 yrs
Rapaport, Larry 65 RG 3 23 47 ---
Gourdine, Derek 62 LT 4 50 58 2 yrs
Tilton, Stanley 79 LT 3 35 64 2 yrs
Boyd, Lenny 70 LT 2 28 48 3 yrs
McElroy, Leonard 63 RT 3 35 47 1 yr.

Well, this line has been almost completely rebuilt since the franchise started. Our “noble experiment” gave decent results in year one, but the affinity foundation fell apart, and it was impossible to restore, so I have resorted back to the tried-and-true method of just trying to acquire good players.

C John Houtz is our last remaining original starter who has kept his job, and is now the position leader. He’s a four-year starter, whose career stats include about 30% key run blocks, and about 1.3% sacks allowed. Not that great, admittedly, but he’s cheap and a decent leader for the group.

We signed two veteran centers in free agency this year, starting with Richard Wallace. Wallace looks like the best of the lot here – a solid pass blocker, which is what we need. Career stats are okay – 27.2% and 1.1%, and I expect that we will move him into the LG slot that was vacated by a free agent departure this offseason. We have Wallace on a contract for $2,000,000 this season, so we would like to get some return from the investment. Our other signee is Reinaldo Johnson, a guy I pursued as a contingency to Wallace. He may not make the team, but if he does, he probably lands as a sixth OL and reserve to most every position.

LG Daniel Beaton, our other original lineman, started for us in 2003 and 2005, but was replaced last season. His career stats are actually quite good (35.0% and 0.8%) and based on that he probably deserves a shot to start. He does not have particularly good ratings, though – and I often defer to the scouting judgments. Tough call. We signed RG Joseph Shaffer to come right into that spot, which could pinch Beaton from his job – Shaffer appears to be more effective, though his career stats (28.4% and 0.8%) are not outstanding either.

At tackle, we are young and solid – we spent first round picks on LT Derek Gourdine and LT Staney Tilton, and both are good starting-caliber players. Neither one is a star, and once their initial contracts expire (following next season for both guys) we may have challenges, but for now, I am comfortable with them as our bookend starters. Reserves Boyd and McElroy are both decent, pass-inclined guys who could get playing time if needed – it would be hard to part with either guy, as they are both cheap and great fits for our system here.

Nothing to be overwhelmed with by this group of players (as is the case with the whole offense) but I don’t think the line is a liability.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Embry, Donovan 6 P 2 35 41 1 yr.
Mizer, Donald 10 K 9 29 29 2 yrs

Nothing special about these guys. Embry was an undrafted rookie free agent last season, but posted a lousy 37.8 average. I will look for a cheap replacement, though I think he’s capable of better.

Mizer is a veteran, has been with us for four years. 77.6% on FGs is okay, but 7 missed PAT is a bit much. I’m not sentimental – he may be the team’s leading scorer to date, but if a cheap and solid option comes along, he can get his papers any time.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Hall, Alvin 98 LDE 7 79 85 2 yrs
Gritton, Randolph 99 LDE 8 39 42 3 yrs
Kleinsasser, Cornelius 90 LDE 5 35 45 3 yrs
Buxton, Richard 92 RDE 13 78 78 2 yrs
Shihi, Donald 72 RDE 14 47 47 3 yrs
Clavell, Lamont 74 RDE 3 18 37 ---
Santos, Martin 96 LDT 9 49 51 3 yrs
Bradham, Eugene 93 RDT 9 65 65 4 yrs
Brown, William 78 RDT 10 40 41 3 yrs

We invested early along the defensive line, and it shows. We have some bona fide talent here, and the defensive line played a huge role in our championship run a couple seasons ago.

DE Alvin Hall was our top draft pick, and he is a solid threat against the run and pass. Last year, he had his best season to date – with 72 tackles and a PRPct of 7.7. He remains very afforable this year and next – then we’ll have to effort to secure him long term.

DE Richard Buxton was our trade target – twice. Now he is on a contract with us, and expects to start on the inside for us, as a potent run stopper. I have played him at DT, DE, and even OLB, and he has been effective everywhere. He was great in 2005 (73 tackles, 5.9 PRPct) but has remained very effective in any role – a great contributor for us.

DT Eugene Bradham had a monster season in 2004, posting 71 solo tackles and 16 sacks (7.0 PDPct) all from the DT spot, making him one of the most valuable defensive players in the league. He remains a major threat, but missed much of last season to injuries. I’m hesitant to hang our lack of defensive success on his absence, as he’s only one player, but getting him back and healthy would be a great boon to us. He looks fine, and we hope he is 100% ready for the season ahead.

DT Martin Santos generally operates from the RDE spot, as he is first and foremost a pass rusher. I signed a lucrative extension with him, which may have been a mixed blessing, but he is pretty consistent – posts about a 7.0 PR Pct every year, which is a solid number to count on.

Last year, we went through the season with only six defensive linemen, the lower bound for a 4-3 team like we are. This season, we will have some depth. We have run-stopping DT William Brown in the fold already, and have just re-signed verstaile DE Cornelius Kleinsasser. We add to the fold DE Donald Shihi, who has been an effective starter for Burlington (career PR Pct of 9.0) and I will be creative in getting him opportunities to play as well. Another new signee, DE Randolph Gritton, will have to fight for a roster spot.

Dennis, D.J. 57 SILB 4 29 38 1 yr.
Watkins, Steven 95 WILB 9 56 61 2 yrs
Galvan, John 58 SLB 6 60 63 4 yrs
Kuykendall, Travis 56 SLB 2 40 59 3 yrs
Dupree, James 54 WLB 10 53 56 4 yrs
Harrold, Urso 91 WLB 10 36 36 3 yrs
Doyle, Dixon 97 WLB 4 23 36 ---

We started with two solid players at the LB position in pass-rushing specialist John Galvan and run-stopper Steven Watkins. James Dupree was an impact signing in 2005 free agency, and then Travis Kuykendall was our top draft pick last year.

Deciding how to use Kuykendall is our biggest challenge here. Our weak linebacker gets pulled a lot, so starting him there amounts to only half time work to begin with. Last year, he got extra playing time when we used him as a safety in our injury-ravages secondary. But only 26 solo tackles in over 500 plays suggests he has some work to do, still. My expectation is that we will so with Galvan-Watkins-Kuykendall as our S-M-W lineup, and will slot Dupree in as the all-purpose reserve at all three spots.

Veteran free agent Urso Harrold has a mixed bag of skills – we may use him, but he is mostly there in case of injury. D.J. Dennis much the same – nice special teamer, could play in a pinch, but not a major asset for us.

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Raab, John 39 LCB 11 59 63 3 yrs
Kindred, Howard 48 LCB 4 45 45 2 yrs
Peterson, Britt 26 LCB 3 20 27 ---
Nave, Ferdy 34 RCB 7 49 49 3 yrs
Ashurst, Bradly 22 RCB 10 44 48 3 yrs
Scanlon, Billy Joe 35 RCB 1 25 59 ---
Carr, Mark 36 SS 9 58 58 1 yr.
Bella, Peter 47 FS 16 75 75 1 yr.
Kettler, Chappy 49 FS 7 46 46 3 yrs
Hornick, Les 38 FS 14 41 41 1 yr.

The secondary has been a focus of much attention – but I believe we have made great strides here. Projecting Raab and Nave as our starting corners gives us two guys with man coverage skills (86 and 67, respectively, by my scout) to handle the assignment. And we will have good depth, with former starter Howard Kindred (former first round pick, modest bust, but still decent player) and top rookie Billy Joe Scanlon aboard as well.

At safety, Peter Bella is the complete package, and Mark Carr is a productive starter as well. Chappy Kettler is a scrappy and improving journeyman, who will get reserve time at both spots. CB Bradly Ashurst and S Les Hornick basically reverse roles – Ashurst is a big hitter we use as a safety sometimes, while Hornick is a coverage specialist who has logged 49 starts, mostly as a cornerback. Both will get time in the mix this season.

In the return game, our best contributors are RB Lewis Lee, who can return both punts and kicks, and probably keeps his roster spot just for those skills. We have several other KR options, including RB Jeffrey Burnley, S Mark Carr, and S Les Hornick.

So, that’s a basic rundown of the club at this point. In a league where the overall talent level is still pretty low, we are a team built mostly of veteran players. I have not invested heavily in the draft, and have not yielded a great bonanza from the picks I have made – so we are mostly dependent on the veteran players on the squad. Our team has an average age of 27.8 – making us the third-oldest club in the league. I’m not surprised.

At the moment, our roster rates 1 95 on the “franchise value” screen, but that is likely full of noise as some teams who do not have a full roster are being unfairly penalized for that. We may revisit that rating later, but I do expect to be in the upper tier of the league in that respect.

Breaking News

Just announced in the FOFL, a trade..

Chesapeake sends RB Craps Copley and a 2008 3rd round pick to Royal, in exchange for FB Chadwick Morimasa.

Okay, with two fullbacks already, and an offense that doesn’t feature the FB at all – how does this make sense at all?

Well, Morimasa is a full-back in name only. Check out these stats from four years as a feature back in Royal:

1,405 carries for 5,928 yards rushing and 39 TD
Career rushing average = 4.21 ypc
199 receptions for 1,462 yards
2005 League MVP
Three-time first-team fullback

So, this is no ordinary fullback, he has the skills to play as a featured ball carrier, and is a solid addition to our RB corps.

Why are we getting him so cheaply? Well, Morimasa is a 13th year player, and started to show some signs of decline last year, as his ypc dropped below 4.0 for the first time. Is he done? Tough to say – his ratings still look awfully solid to my scout (who rates him 68/68), but the truer test will come on the field. But with our modest complement of running backs, this move seems to make some sense – it’s a far less expensive upgrade than we’d get by trying to deal for a top-tier halfback from anyone, I’m certain.

Breaking News, again

Just announced, another FOFL trade…

Chesapeake sends its 2008 2nd round pick to South Carolina, in exchange for LB Gary Rosenbaum.

South Carolina is in a purge-rebuild phase, and we’re trying to take advantage once again. (CB Raab was the first step of this) Gary Rosenbaum is a 13th year veteran, but is a standout-caliber linebacker, who could be an impact player for us. This is adding strength to strength for us, but overall, it’s a bargain for us – Rosenbaum comes to us with a very affordable salary for three seasons, so he ought to be a great value.

What will this mean for our LB corps? I don’t know, but Rosenbaum can certainly play at DE or SLB very naturally, and even has the skills to man the middle, if need be. Having five very good linebackers is a luxury – we’ll work through it one way or another.

Inspires me to rededicate myself to my Toerpedoes MP dynasty or maybe start up a Colonials one instead.

Breaking News, yet again

Yet another FOFL trade…

Chesapeake has traded QB Mohammed Perry to division rival Portland, and receives their 5th round draft pick.

We had surplusage at the QB position, and dealing Perry helps to resolve that. Kendrick Ping may make the final roster after all, though it probably depends on the progress, if any, of the two youngsters we have aboard.

Not at all, Matthijs, though this little trading spree has been reminiscent of your efforts with the Merchantment, this is just what we do down our way. The FOFL has, on balance, far fewer trades than the IHOF -- in fact, CHE might be one of the most active teams in trading there has been in the league. I doubt I'm even in the top third in the IHOF, where dead cap space just seems to be a way of life.That always helpful information to have about a multiplayer dynasty. A bit of background info on league style makes it easier to follow the story. Makes it easier to value these kind of movements.

Of course, as an oft trader myself, I wouldn't make fun of people who trade. The dead cap space is something that actually helps to keep my own team together, as I'm getting 15M more cap room next season to work with. But that's food for thought in my own thread, I suppose.

Chesapeake Chili Dogs – a Multi-player FOF Dynasty

The Chesapeake Chili Dogs (http://www.thefofl.com/teampages/chesapeake.htm) are an established franchise in the FOFL (http://www.thefofl.com/fofl/index.html), the spinoff football league from the gang who brought you the FOBL (and arguably “killed FOFC” but that’s for another debate). What you see is what you get at FOxL, and that is a well-run and efficient league full of smart owners. It has proven to be pretty challenging.

I have mixed feelings about starting a dynasty thread now – indeed, after four seasons with my team, there has been a missed opportunity, as we could have (at least theoretically) had readers all through our first seasons, and you could have reveled in our peak achievements (and commiserated during our disappointing stretches). But alas – here we are, I’m getting started now, as the team is trying to fight back into contention.
Great name.

I hate it. If we hadn't already won a championship, I think I'd be looking to change it... but alas. I'm generally a fan of (1) regional team names rather than simpel cities or states, and (2) alliteration... but I'm less than wild about this one.

Not really, though I do like that name. I don't even know if they are stil the tides, or did they revert to "Mets" again?

Anyway, I was partial to Hampton Roads Scholars, but that's a little smarmy, I guess.

Poli

04-25-2005, 08:50 AM

I believe they're the Norfolk Tides now. Norfolk built the new stadium near downtown, and by my understanding the team changed their name from Tidewater to Norfolk as part of the deal.

I like your idea, though. I'd go with a Hampton Roads type name, if you were to change it.

04-25-2005, 09:19 AM

Well, my generic idea isn't that the team is actually located in the city of Chesapeake, Virginia... but rather that the team (perhaps located in or around Annapolis) is just representing the entire Chesapeake region. My fictional leagues are full of teams from (thinking back) Puget Sound, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Key West, Hawk Mountain, St. Lawrence, Cape Cod, and the like. Just a personal quirk, I suppose. (Yes, some are techcnially cities, but I'd rather name a team for a landmark than a town)

Special Teams Analysis

Since we’re at something of a lull with the league, I wanted to take a moment and check out my special teams capacity on the roster. This is something that I tend to pay tangential attention to ordinarily – but one of the benefits (and purposes) of doing a dynasty report here is my ability to delve a little more deeply into such matters.

So, at the moment – here are the players who are likely to be on the roster when the season starts, who we’d expect to contribute on special teams:

Ps Player ST Rating

LB John Galvan 88/90
LB D.J. Dennis 80/99
FB Chadwick Morimasa 81/91
LB James Dupree 81/87
RB Matt Doughty 76/80
TE Clay Lannon 74/74
WR Walter Peter 75/82
- - -
FB Charles Emerson 42/60
WR Justin Berkey 52/55
WR Marcus Meneses 57/63
WR Jimmy Castellano 43/58
LB Gary Rosenbaum 70/70
CB John Raab 46/60
CB Howard Kindred 54/64
CB Bradly Ashurst 58/72
CB Billy Joe Scanlon ??/55?
FS Les Hornick 58/58
FS Peter Bella 56/56
FS Chappy Kettler 66/66

Among the seven top-rated guys we have here, we average about 80 in current special teams rating, which is fine. I have no idea how this stacks up against other teams, but I’m comfortable that we can field a squad with high-skilled special teamers with relative ease.

My anticipation is that we will use RB Doughty as a gunner, along with one of the linebackers, probably whomever from that top threesome is active, but not in our starting defensive lineup (perhaps Dupree). Walter Peter is a gunner candidate as well.

It certainly pained me to let go of Morimasa. That experiment paid off in a big way. His ratings really slipped last year and I believe it takes a superstud FB to have success as a feature back, I think it was time to cut bait. We wish him well in Chesapeake, he is certainly a future Ape Hall of Famer.

QuikSand

04-27-2005, 11:32 AM

I don't have any illusions that Morimasa is going to be a monster back for us -- but RB was clearly our weakest position (and basically has been since the league started), so for us, even a watered-down Morimasa looks like a real upgrade over what we had on hand.

We'll do our level best to treat him well in Chesapeake, and give him every chance to succeed.

Chili Dogs Select DB With Late Round Pick

In the 5th round, with the pick acquired from the trade of QB Mohammed Perry, Chesapeake has selected DB Adrian Walker out of Boston College. Walker figures to be a solid for for the defensive secondary scheme, as he is best suited to a man coverage scheme, and can play the ball well. Walker will be battling veterans Bradly Ashurst and Britt Peterson for a roster spot, and may be converted to cornerback to better feature his cover skills.

QuikSand

The riff-raff phase

We have concluded the league draft (a quite painfully slow process, for whatever reasons) and are ready to begin the second round of free agency. Since quality restricted players are not yet available, we’re basically looking at the same old veterans that nobody wanted during the first 20 rounds, plus the rookie nobody wanted through 224 draft picks.

Sound great, right? Well, I have had a little bit of luck here in the past – usually finding special teams contributors and the like. On the current team, we have a few guys who were undrafted rookie free agent (URFA) signees – usually guys who either have one particular skill that makes them helpful, guys who contribute to team chemistry, or guys who have a bump up in their first training camp to suggest potential future development.

LB D.J. Dennis was a URFA, and remains with us as a special teams demon
TE Clay Lannon was also a URFA, first acquired by Burlington, and is decent
QB Sherman Buckner showed some early potential for development – mixed bag
CB Britt Peterson, on the roster bubble, was a URFA and is a decent role player
TE Gino Kerr was a URFA in 2005, switched from FB to TE to make the roster
RB Lewis Lee was also a URAF in 2005, and looks to stick this year as a returner
RG Larry Rapaport was a URFA last year, showed some growth potential, but is in danger
P Donovan Embry was a URFA last year, and is likely to hold the job this season
C Brett Lyon looks like a keeper, a solid pass blocking URFA from last year

So – at the moment, we have eight or nine guys who are on the roster from the URFA process. This is, not surprisingly, a natural outcome of my usual strategy of selling off my late round draft picks – I don’t have a parade of 6th and 7th rounders to fill the roster, so I get players (usually of pretty comparable quality) after the draft, and take my chances there. No bonuses (usually) make this a low-risk proposition.

We put in offers to a number of rookie free agents, and will hope for the best. In the next couple of days, I’ll detail the guys that we have landed, and will try to give a sense of where they might fit into our scheme, if at all.

On a team that already has 59 players committed (58 signed plus our top draft pick), it’s tough to see any of these fresh faces sticking – but we will have to do some paring down at the end of the line, and it’s probably better to have a marginal contributor be a promising youngster than a fossilized veteran – so guys like DE Randolph Gritton and C Reinaldo Johnson are the players who will need to be watching the rookie camps.

Late Free Agency Begins

After the first round of free agency, we have a little news.

First, we welcome in an undrafted rookie punter to compete for the starting job. Back in about the fifth round of the draft, I openly mused “You know, I wouldn’t mind having a punter named ‘Spoilsport’.” Well – now, I have my chance. Spoilsport Earhart is aboard for a rookie minimum salary (two year deal) and will compete with Donovan Embry for the starting duties. My scout rates Embry as 34/42 (making $310,000 on the second year of a URAF contract) and Embry as 26/59 making $230,000. With the nickname working for him, Spoilsport is the leader for the job, I reckon.

I have an offer in for veteran kicker Tyler Gambill as well. The 7th year kicker is has been pretty effective in his career, with 73.7% on FGs, and 100% on PATs. However, I am up against a big contract, it seems – Las Vegas is offering him a five year deal worth over $9 million, and under league rules that means it must have at least $1.8 million in signing bonus. I can’t imagine paying millions in bonus to a kicker… just doesn’t fit with my way of doing business. So, it looks like we will miss out on him – I may look through the rookie rubble and see if there’s someone who would be an improvement on Donald Mizer (77.6 FG%, but rated only 30/30).

The early signs are that 5th round draft pick S Adrian Walker is going to be a bust… so we’ll have a decision ahead whether to even offer him a contract. I may leave him unsigned through training camp, and make the decision afterward. He looks like one of those typical guys whose future potential ratings make him look fairly attractive -- he has future ratings in the 75-100 range for man and bump coverages and is rated overall a 14/40. But the usual career path sees him declining, and after a couple of years he’ll look like about 17/25 and not worth a damn. We’re already over our roster limit and safely under the salary cap, so it’s not like we’re scrambling for depth on this club.

A similar case in point with CB Donovan Snyder – a guy I considered with my 5th round pick, but passed on. He has some nice skills, and my scout rates him as 12/42. I have a bid in, but a bigger bid is in from Fritz’s French Ticklers. My best guess is that Snyder, too, will be the handful of sand, and in time will wither away to nothing. I don’t think I need to make any investment – certainly not a guaranteed investment – in a guy like him, so we’ll probably watch him head to the Ozarks.

We are one of several teams bidding for the services of FB Bob Parise, a guy I like but who is an obvious FA target. Our team has three fullbacks already – it would be very hard to justify making roster space for Parise. But, if we land him, we’ll give him a look – he’s got good pass blocking skills and might make a decent TE if we picked him up.

We have a few more rookie bids in as well – but nothing really worthy of profiling, at least until we land the players. My socks have not been knocked off by anyone in this undrafted rookie crop.

Late Free Agency, continued

No news here, as my file export didn't register, it seems. The only development is that it appears a couple teams put in "topping" offers just a bit higher than mine on a couple of the undrafted rookies we have been targeting. More to come... but no tears being shed here.

QuikSand

05-02-2005, 09:41 AM

Late Free Agency, yet again

Okay, we landed a couple of rookies – as I have indicated, nothing to get too worked up over, but two guys I like a bit.

QB Chris Tamm has some decent potential in the “lower” skill areas, including reading defenses, sensing the rush, and avoiding interceptions. Even so, he probably needs to “pop” a point or two in training camp to make the roster. The early returns are encouraging, though – my scout likes his future potential two points better now that he is signed and on our roster.

G Albert Neiman looks to have potential as a pass blocker – maybe a future rating there of about 60 or so. If he fully developed, he’d be an okay guard for our offensive system. We’ll give him a look, but it will be tough going – he’ll be a longshot to make the team.

There’s also a veteran DE on the market, released after a contract holdout, who has attracted a bit of attention. A 10th year player, he has been pretty productive – I expect sparks to fly over him.

QuikSand

05-03-2005, 07:40 AM

Late Free Agency drags on

Following one more sim, we have gotten through two more stages of the late free agency process.

I was denied in my effort to land a solid free agent kicker – since we had some cap room this year, I put in an offer for about $1.1 million – half of it bonus. However, it turns out he received a fat offer from Las Vegas which included $1.75 in bonus money over a five year deal. It would never occur to me to pay that kind of money to a kicker (especially one like him who looks good, but not really exceptional) and we will settle for the riffraff we have, it seems.

We did land two more undrafted rookies on the defensive line:

DT Gabe Shah actually looks like a better pass rusher than run stopper, so if he sticks, it would probably be to play at the DE position more than at DT. My scout likes what he sees – even though we are fairly deep along the DL, we can’t build exclusively from aging veterans, so Shah might have a shot to stick.

DE Edgar Welch is probably not heavy enough to comfortably move to DT, but his run stopping skills are probably his best asset. Actually, his best skills are in the incidentals for the position – endurance and punishing hitter. I don’t really know what a player with these primary skills accomplishes on the field – indeed, I don’t really understand the “punishing hitter” rating at all, to be honest. My scout likes Welch a bit, too – but I think it will be even tougher for him to stick than for Shah.

QuikSand

05-03-2005, 07:45 AM

Incidentally, the stud fre agent DE who became available also went to Las Vegas -- thei sign him with a $10 million bonus, but he will only hit their cap for $3m for each of the next two years.

La Vegas looks like a team in "win now" mode, but they are currently without a very impressive lineup at QB. It looks like their approach will be to try out different guys there, but my scout doesn't rate any of them over 50... so I have trouble seeing this team making a really big run this season without improvement there. Perhaps this is more of an effort to use the team's considerable cap space, rather than a pure "win now" gesture.

QuikSand

05-05-2005, 11:07 AM

Training Camp

I had a bad day to be completely away from my computer and the FOFL boards, and therefore ended up without a training camp submission. Life goes on – I usually don’t have a lot of deep thinking at that stage anyway (unlike back in the old days of FOF 2001, where I always felt like that was a meaningful contribution to the team setup).

So, the main thing with training camp is watching your players – specifically younger players – to see if there are signs of good or bad things yet to come.

So this year – we get some decent news, but nothing earth-shattering. With eyes on our top draft pick, still unsigned CB Billy Joe Scanlon, his ratings did not move. However, our later draft pick S Adrian Walker has proven to be a total clown – and we will probably not even offer him a contract. We did see this coming, though – so no real surprise there.

Among our other rookies – we are going to have some difficulty deciding what to do with our defensive line. I liked DT Gabe Shah coming into camp, but DE Edgar Welch actually had a better training camp. There was no guaranteed roster spot for either guy – so to make room, we’d have to release a veteran player (who could do more for us right away). I am a bit worried that this team, without making many draft picks ach year, doesn’t have much of a farm team to fall back on – but the problem is that by relying on veterans for most of our playing time, we won’t be able to develop young players too well anyway. It’s a bit of a catch-22, actually.

We did get an interesting bump from another player who’s going to cause problems – RB David Smith. He was a guy I picked up to compete for the HB duties back before we acquired FB Morimasa – but since the deal, I had fully expected to see Smith be a post-camp casualty. Now, David Smith actually had a minor veteran bump in training camp – he boosted by +1/+1, according to my scouts. Not a huge move, but it might be enough reason to keep an eye on him, and perhaps we could be open to keeping Smith and releasing longtime C-Dog Jeffrey Burnley.

I don’t think we got enough out of QB Chris Tamm or G Albert Neiman to expect them to stick. Other than that, a very predictable set of camp results – most of our young players continued their development, and we look to be in decent cap shape in case something shakes loose among the post-camp roster cut-downs.

We have 63 players on the roster right now – so we need to make a first round of cut-downs to get to the 60-player limit for the exhibition season. The casualties are:

QB Chris Tamm
LG Albert Neiman
P Spoilsport Earhart (terrible camp, scout ratings dropped by –8)
DE Randolph Gritton

(We cut four, so in case our contract offer to CB Scanlon goes through, we will remain within the 60-contract limit)

We post a decent 24-16 win over Royal, using almost exclusively our “second team.” I am pleased with the effort from both QBs, but especially Sherman Buckner. This undrafted reserve has continued to show glimmers of hope – I think he may one day actually get meaningful snaps for this team. There’s some chance, at least.

We actually got quite a lot of production from some of our reserve wideouts – guys like Castellano, Peter, and Kahn, all of whom are fighting to make the team. We may carry six WRs this season, but doing so presumably means cutting a young player or two, so their good showings will bode well for them.

I’m also pleased with the effort from RB David Smith, a guy who is essentially fighting to make the team. I expect we’ll keep him in as the primary RB for the next game or two, and if he continues to produce fairly well, he might end up cementing the role as the HB2 on the depth chart. That could be bad for Jeffrey Burnley, who has been with us since the start. Burnley has 2,428 yards rushing for us – but most of that was in our first two seasons. He has started 7 games in the last two seasons, and has mustered only about 3.6 yards per carry over that spell. Our team is not built around the running game, but that level of production is not very strong in any light. He’s making over $800,000, has no role in leadership or chemistry, and unless he’s getting meaningful playing time – he is basically dead weight. $800,000 for a so-so kick returner and third or fourth option in the running game isn’t much value.

DE Cornelius Kleinsasser posted a nice game on defense – he’s a solid reserve DL who simply won’t get much playing time on this team. A bit of a shame, but it’s good to have nice depth. His conflict with new position leader Donald Shihi has me wondering what to do with the latter – Shihi has been a very effective pass rusher (with 43.5 sacks in four years) but there is apparently no market for a solid 14th year veteran who plays beyond his bars. I don’t have the flexibility to make the reverse move and deal away a starter intending to use Shihi instead – so I’m faced with a dilemma: keep Shihi as a top reserve pass rusher despit the chemistry conflicts, or else release him and go with lesser backups but improve our chemistry situation. Tough call, in my book.

WR Jimmy Castellano isn’t helping himself by catching only one of nine passes thrown his way – if the preseason plays any role in my decision-making (open question in a game where you can see skill ratings directly), then he’d be in serious jeopardy of even making the team. Ryan Kahn has outplayed him these two games, when he has had the chance.

Our offense, though, didn’t really click this week – not a huge surprise, but a bit disappointing.

I decide to place G Hugh Rumph onto the injured reserve list – that way, he at least makes the team. He’s a former first round selection, presumably a bust (explaining why he was a free agent) but still has pretty solid potential as a pass blocker, which is our team’s main focus. This essentially clears up a roster spot for us – my main goal with the move.

This week, we also worked out a four year contract with CB Billy Joe Scanlon, who slots as our third cornerback for this season. We will get him into the defensive lineup for upcoming games – he actually played sporadically this week (despite not getting into the depth chart), but will get a much harder look in the next two.

Exhibition Game Three

We get another look at our second team, as we expect to seed in starters for our final preseason game. Here, QB Sherman Buckner cements a spot on the final roster, and our other young QB Derrick Sellers didn’t do a lot to help himself here.

FB Charles Emerson has been a tough call – a former first round pick, he is clearly overpaid. However, he is talented enough that I really don’t want to cut him outright. He got 10 carries here, and two touchdowns, and may well have secured a spot as a short-distance runner. We will probably carry three fullbacks this season, and two tight ends – a bigger investment at those two spots than I’d ordinarily envision, but that’s okay.

Alas, it appears that our file export didn’t register, as rookie CB Billy Joe Scanlon failed to make it onto the field much at all, and isn’t in the depth chart. Probably my mistake, though I seem to recall exporting and transferring the file. No great loss, but I did lose my chance to IR the now-healthy G Hugh Rumph, meaning he may not make the final roster after all.

We do not have a single injury on the entire roster, so nobody has a back door way to make the team by getting placed onto IR. I fully expect a challenging set of decisions after this last preseason game – and at the moment, if we end up carrying four QBs and three FBs, that will put the squeeze on some other places.

Current bubble players:
QB Kendrick Ping/
RB Jeffrey Burnley/Matt Doughty/David Smith
WR Ryan Kahn/Jimmy Castellano
C Brett Lyon/Reinaldo Johnson
G Hugh Rumph/Larry Rapaport
DE Donald Shihi/Edgar Welch
LB Urso Harold/CB Bradly Ashurst

One from each line would amount to seven cuts, getting us from 60 to 53. We’ll watch the injury list next week very closely, but these guys all need to be worried, I think.

Preparation for Final Preseason Game

We have our roster set, and we’re ready for the last preseason game. We have more players than we can carry, and some of these final cuts will be difficult. Several players can probably only make the team by getting injured and placed onto IR. Fun times.

I also have to keep in mind the possibility that there will be some decent players cast off by other teams at this phase. I need to remain open to the possibility that we will actually want to sign a player or two soon, meaning yet another cut from our roster to make room.

We’ll see – tonight we run the final preseason games, so we will be simultaneously asking for minor injuries in selected spots, and perhaps a few performances to help me make final decisions.

Exhibition Week 5

We have our final preseason game this week, and we decide to leave most of our first tea on the shelf for this one. The result, regardless, is a solid win over Annawan, and some momentum leading into the regular season.

(Actually, a more accurate description would be that the file that contained my updated roster either did not register with the league, or else I simply failed to upload it… I can’t tell which, but I think this is twice this had happened, to my chagrin. I have had connection problems with the FOFL site of late, but I am fairly certain that I uploaded my changes. Drat – this means that CB Scanlon basically sat out the whole preseason, as a result of either technical errors or my blunders.)

FB Charles Emerson played well this preseason, especially in this game, and may well have saved his roster spot with the effort.

Most importantly of all, this is cut-down time. we must get to 53 players now – and since our roster is completely devoid of injuries, there are no opportunities to hide players on IR for the year.

The first round of cuts are fairly easy:

- QB Kendrick Ping was going to be our 3rd or 4th guy, but with two younger and more promising options on the roster, he’s gone. The continued development of third year reserve Sherman Buckner has me optimistic about him, and that seals Ping’s fate.

- WR Ryan Kahn has caught 35 passes in 3 years with the Dogs – a decent reserve wideout, but not an impact player for us by any stretch. WR Jimmy Castellano has moved past him on my depth chart, and Walter peter provides leadership and mentoring – that’s enough to cost Kahn his spot.

- G Hugh Rumph was supposed to be on the IR, but that export failed to connect – and now he’s being cut. A former first round pick, he probably has been a bust, so his upside isn’t really there – a painless cut.

- C Reinaldo Johnson is a decent player, and an excellent long snapper, but he just gets forced out by a numbers game along the offensive line. After cutting Johnson and Rumph, we still are carrying ten linemen.

Then, we still have three more cuts to make to get to 53 – and they won’t be as simple to do.

Among our cadre of RBs and FBs, we number a full seven men. That’s ridiculous – this is a pass-first team, and we only occasionally even use a FB formation to begin with. So, I think we probably need to make two cuts here, and carry five backs into the season.

Who makes the team? FB Chadwick Morimasa, former league MVP, will make it and project as our first RB option. RB Lewis Lee makes it, basically because he will be our first option as a punt returner, and will contribute on kick returns as well. So, there are two guys who are in easily. The rest are tougher decisions:

RB Jeffrey Burnley has been our starting RB, but has never been too effective – 2,428 rushning yards, but on only 3.61 ypc for his career. His prospects look dim.

RB David Smith got a decent look in this preseason, and has a few decent ratings to suggest he could be a passable ball carrier. Career 4.13 ypc, but a dud in the last preseason game.

RB Matt Doughty has good receiving skills, and would be the best of the bunch to slot at WR if pressed into service. 4.15 ypc for us last year in spot duty, but not much of a pure runner. Special teams asset.

FB Nicholas Richardson was going to get a shot at carrying the main load at RB, before we acquired Morimasa. Now, he stands as our top backup at FB, TE, and perhaps still RB. Lacks power inside and special teams skills, which may cost him here.

FB Charles Emerson is a disappointing former first round pick who did not explode as we had suspected – instead he’s a serviceable fullback. Good short yardage man, solid special teamer. Drags a pretty hefty salary for a backup fullback, though.

With that – I decide that the two cuts are going to be RB Burnley and FB Richardson – and we are halfway home. We will count on our backs for help in the special teams departmnt, and to support Morimasa is he fails or goes down.

That gets us to the final cut. We currently have nine defensive linemen, and that looks like a possible target area. DE Donals Shihi was signed this offseason as a veteran presence who has been consistently productive as a pass rusher, but now he’s in some jeopardy. We have two fairly promising young D-linemen who, in all likelihood, will just fester on this team for a year or two with no playing time and then get dumped. (Such is the fate of young players on a team stacked with veterans) And we have DT Martin Santos, a guy who has started for us at DE for 64 straight games, but who is clearly crumbling before our very eyes.

I’ll take a side-by-side look at Santos and Shihi – two veterans trying to claim the starting role at RDE:

Player DT Martin Santos DE Donald Shihi

Run Def 11/11 26/26
PR Tech 72/72 60/60
PR Strength 70/70 48/48
Play Diag 38/54 06/06
Punishing 40/40 54/54
Endurance 04/06 46/54

Career Sacks 30.5 43.5
Career PRPct 7.0 9.0
2006 Sacks 7.0 9.5
2006 PRPct 6.6 9.5

Clearly, Santos looks like the better rated player (even after some decline) but Shihi has been remarkably productive. A 9.0 PR Pct is an elite performance level, by nearly any reckoning.

Releasing Shihi would clear up a conflict on the defensive front, and would have the effect of helping our team chemistry. But I decide that’s too high a price to pay – and I decide that I want to keep both of these players on the final roster.

I decide that G Larry Rapaport will be our final release – he’s yet another fairly promising young player, but his skills are not a match for us, he has no mentor at OG, and he figures to get essentially no playing time with this club this season. So, we cast him off, paring our OL grouping down to 9, and we are at the magic number of 53 players.

We set the lineup, have our first team installed, and are prepared for the first game of the season. Our most challenging situation is at LB, where our moves have given us five starting-quality linebackers. That’s great for depth – we can end up using these guys at DE or safety as needed – but for right now, it means that two solid players are in reserve roles. We go with SLB Galvan, MLB Rosenbaum, and WLB Kuykendall to start off the season, pushing former starting MLB Steven Watkins to a top reserve role, and moving James Dupree into a reserve/gunner position. I think all are solid players, and my hope is that Watkins might become a bit more forgiving on his contract demands is this season is spent in a supporting position.

That’s that – we are ready to head into the season. If we have needs on this team for this season, they might include a standout punt returner, an improvement at backup RB, and perhaps one more solid cover cornerback. Only the first of those needs is likely to show up in free agency, but we’ll keep our eyes open as the wave of final roster cuts come forth.

For future reference, Chesapeake Chessmasters might be suitable. Or for a less cerebral team, the Chesapeake Chaingang has promise. Then you have the Chipmunks, the Chimpanzees (or Chimps) and the natural progression to the Chumps. Challengers, Chaps, Chargers, and Chuckers (for a pass-heavy team such as yours) all come to mind as well.

Of course sticking with your food theme (Chitlin's, Chili Dogs) you could go for Cheerios, but that sounds rather like a British welcoming commitee.

the Chesapeake Chaingang has promise.

I generally don't like the singular term for a team... but I agree, that is pretty good. Most of the rest have occurred to me at some point, but not this one.

Hope you don't mind - it's in my on deck circle.

I’m not wild about having five million in cap room right now, but this year’s free agency market was pretty dry – I don’t think we really missed out on too much for lack of effort.

We have rather sparse chemistry effects on this team, as it turns out – only five total affinities on the entire team. If things don’t go well with the “pure talent” approach this season, I may re-invest in this side of things. We have three conflicts, all arising from QBs – Derrick Sellers, my fourth QB causes two of them. That might make him vulnerable to a cut, especially if a promising player pops up in free agency at some point.

I do have a look through the free agent list at this point, and the best-looking players out there to me are, frankly, the list of guys we just cut. I have to expect some of these guys will get picked up for this season, but they are all off limits to us now. We have cast our lot.

With not quite everyone down to the roster limits yet (there are varied storied in this league), here’s a snapshot of where we stand:

Roster Rating: 93 (tied for 3rd behind Hell Creek 100, Toronto 100, and even with several teams – Jupiter, Austin, Shreveport, Capital City, and defending champions Mars)

Cohesion:
Passing – 87 (middle third)
Offensive line – 76 (bottom third)
Defensive front – 80 bottom third)
Secondary – 96 (top third)

I don’t quite understand the secondary rating – we are starting two brand new cornerbacks this year, but admittedly we do have several veteran guys who have been around her a long time.

Nothing new to report here – this team is built to be competitive right now, and we are angling for a meaningful berth in the title hunt.

Well, in the first game, my decision to start DE Donald Shihi seems to have paid an early dividend. I had to ignore the red/green bars to do so, but he has been soproductive as a pass rusher, that I felt he deserved a chance to play. First game – 32 pass plays, he notches 2.5 sacks and a QB hurry. That’s outstanding.

Chadwick Morimasa gave us a workmanlike performance – but we’ll be looking for more than 3 yards a carry over the longer haul. I know he’s used to running behind brutes on the OL – now he’ll have to make do with this group, like it or not.

I just spent 15 minutes thinking of a clever pun regarding Boner's performance. For everyone's sake, I've decided to side with the better part of discretion.

Thank you.

Week 2: Chesapeake at Burlington

We are made 4 point favorites on the road, playing against a club with a strong starting QB, but probably not the level of talent that should give us real trouble. I’m optimistic that if our team plays well, we can get a solid road victory here.

Just a dreadful effort, really. No excuse for that kind of day from our offense – we were positively anemic. One long TD drive, and basically we’re done for the day. 36 yards rushing? 220 yards of offense? Good lord, that’s disgraceful. The defense wasn’t awful, but letting them hold the ball for 38 minutes is just ridiculous.

Terrible, terrible effort. A team of the caliber I as hoping for simply would not let this happen. Sure, we could lose a game like this one, but not in this fashion.

Actually, the game capsule for us is right here:

Passing Attempt Comp BdThrw Dropd Defnsd Blockd Hurried Intrcpt

We couldn’t protect the QB, he misfired a fair number of times, they blocked away some of his good passes, and we dropped more than our fair share of the rest. There you go, a big fat turd.

Does anyone deserve a stoke from this game? Maybe S Mark Carr, who only gave up one catch, batted one pass away, and grabbed a pick. Fine, you’re the mayor of shitsville.

Grrr…

We get a better showing from our offense, and eke out a road victory.

Rookie CB Billy Joe Scanlon makes his first league interception, and puts forth a nice effort in his first real game action. For the third straight game, DE Alvin Hall puts up 1.5 sacks, and he is on his way to potentially a fine season for us after being a slight disappointment as our top overall draft pick. We have 10 sacks and 20 hurries in our first three games – not bad.

LB John Galvan suffers an injury, and will miss three weeks. Fortunately we are plenty deep at LB, and move Steven Watkins back in to start at MLB, with Gary Rosenbaum playing at Galvan’s usual SLB slot.

We now have the division lead to ourselves, and will gear up for our return home to take on Norwich next week.

Not a dominating win by any stretch, but we come away with a W.

FB Morimasa was effective, including one long run, but then pulled up with an injury – he will miss a couple of weeks. I’ll have to do some thinking about the depth chart for the next couple of games – Smith filled in okay, but I’m unsure about him as a full-time starter.

We also lose LB Travis Kuykendall for a couple of weeks – suddenly our depth at LB is looking like a wise decision, as we still have solid players for all three slots even with two starters down.

So, after four games, here’s the team summary for a decent overall view:

What makes me pleased here? We’re pretty effective at stopping the run so far – 3.4 yards per carry is even lower than what we get on the ground, and we’re terrible! Actually, the defense as a whole has been pretty effective, though we have been yielding points.

The offense isn’t really clicking completely, but we’re average and perhaps have the potential to improve. We’ll see about the RB situation, but Boner and company can keep pitching it around okay, I think.

How did Donald Shihi do? I'm always interested in how a game replicates players who perform better than their raw ratings. It would be a nice story to see this guy become a valuable player despite his lack of talent (from a ratings point of view, which is a necessary evil in text-sims - but that's an entirely different conversation altogether).

Through four games, I have Donald Shihi starting at the RDE spot, and he has been pretty effective. In 223 plays, he has registered 3.0 sacks, 2 blocks, and 5 hurries, for a PRPct of 7.5. That 7.5 compares pretty well with my other starters: DE Alvin Hall 7.5, DT Richard Buxton 6.2, and DT Eugene Bradham 3.6.
Shihi has only 15 total tackles, the least of thst foursome, but not by much.

So far, I'd say I'm satisfied, but less than thrilled, with his performance. If he can go the whole season with a 7.5 PRPct, I will be quite pleased.

We get the win we needed, but this was hardly a blowout like we might have sought. Indeed, we gave them chance after chance on their final possession to pull even – only the clock saved us.

I’m pleased with what we got from RB David Smith, pushed into duty this week. We are not a team that’s going to churn out lots of 100-yard days for our RBs, so 14-81 and a TD is about the high end of my expectations. We also got a subtle good game from RB Lewis Lee, with two key kick returns that each boosted scoring drives.

Also, a great game from CB Ferdy Nave – I knew he had it in him. His third pick of the year in five games, and he contributes with five tackles and a defensed pass. We manage four sacks and nine hurries – not to bad, but not enough to get the defense to dominate the game as we might have hoped.

On the downside, we suffer a serious injury on offense – WR Mark Jackson has blown out a knee, and is done for the year. This bodes poorly for us, as my preseason decision to cut WR Ryan Kahn now looms pretty large over this offense. Kahn is still a free agent, and would be the ideal guy to pick up – except he wouldn’t accept any offer from us. So, we will probably have to trawl through the remains at the position, and come up with a roster filler of some sort.

Regardless – we stand at 4-1 now, and are pretty well in command of the division thus far. I remain very skeptical as to whether this team can handle any real pressure, and the loss of our most talented skill position player doesn’t help that much, but we’ll see – I suppose after missing the playoffs last season we have no room to complain about 4-1 under any circumstances.

Chili Dogs Sign Veteran RB Madrigal

With the injury to RB Chadwick Morimasa leaving us without an obvious go-to starter at the HB position, we have signed 11th year veteran Cordell Madrigal. Madrigal has 2,632 career rushing yards, including two seasons as the premier rushing threat for State College. He also has some ability in the passing game, and ought to fit our scheme fairly well.

I am hopeful that the combination of David Smith and Cordell Madrigal can fill our needs at RB for the time being – I expect to start Smith at HB, and use Madrigal as the top reserve and passing down back.

RB Matt Doughty has been released to clear the roster space for Madrigal.

(Note: this was meant to have been posted a couple of days ago - my omission. Madrigal was active for the game against Portland, but played a minor reserve role behind the surprisingly effective David Smith)

Quik - philosophical FOF question for you. I've noticed in your MP leagues and solo games your philosophy is to go for a great quarterback, good receivers and a backfield that can catch the ball. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't remember you ever utilizing a smashmouth, run it up the gut kind of approach.

If the above paragraph is correct, do you utilize this approach because you believe it wins football games in general, or basically just an FOF strategy? If it's an FOF strategy, do you believe that FOF therefore does not "properly" value the running game in it's simulation engine? I ask this because I've seen many successful high-octane passing attacks in FOF but only rarely see teams that run the ball ad nauseum become winners. I'm not sure if that's an NFL trait or only seen in FOF.

It's a little of both, to be fair.

I do, generally, believe that an effective passing game is the single most important thing in FOF. I think this has been true in every iteration of the game. This advantage seems to be less dramatic after the latest patch, but I think it still exists.

Compounding that is my general sense that assembling a somewhat deliberately imbalanced offensive strategy is a good way to manage the salary cap. So, with this team in particular, I have gone with a pass-intensive offensive style, using a lot of multi-WR formations. The idea is to stock up on decent receivers with a strong QB, and then skimp at positions like RB, FB, and even TE. Plus, if I'm mostly committed to passing the ball, I can pursue cheap fill-in type offensive linemen who won't cost me an arm and a leg (I can live with guys who have skill in pass protection and little else).

I haven't exactly followed the path perfectly -- my QB isn't really all that great (recall he was the second guy I drafted at QB in the allocation draft) and my receivers are no beter than average. Plus, I have invested in the OL more than I had imagined -- spending two first round picks on tackles. But conceptually, I think this is a pretty valid way to build a team -- I think a well-designed pass-intensive team can be fairly affordable and effective, and theoretically would allow for some more aggressive spending on the defensive side (especially if you use the same theory with your coverage schemes, getting guys who fit a limited style of coverage where you focus your efforts).

That's my global theory. Much of the economization could be used with a smash-mouht run-first team, too, I suspect -- you could go cheap at WR and get run-only linemen, and accomplish much the same goal in cap savings. But I suspect that slanting either way is probably a more efficient use of cap space than trying to do a little bit of everything.

Very good point regarding cap management. Obviously players that are good at only one thing will be less expensive that a player who can do it all.

Is there a winning team in the IHOF that focuses on the running game much moreso than the passing game? I know Ben always preaches running the ball, but I see he hasn't had much success over there. I know the Plague are the current champions, but really my myopic impressions of the league are driven by your team and albionmoonlight's Fairbanks team (the original mad bomber darlings).

So, we get the win we were looking for – almost certainly our best performance of the season. We get a lead early, and actually end up with a solid effort from our running game. We rarely see 30 carries from this team, but Smith and Madrigal were both effective, and we put up a shocking 148 yards on the ground. The defense was excellent, and but for the long TD bomb in the fourth quarter, we might have managed a shutout. Great game.

On the personnel front, a few things. I missed an export this week, and it stung me – the AI dropped my 4th QB Derrick Sellers, to my dismay. I don’t have particularly high hopes for him anyway, but I liked having him around.

In the mid-weel export, we did manage to re-work the contract of TE Clyde Rego, who basicaly will play for the veteran minimum and a trifling bonus for the next few years. I had planned to stay very cheap at TE, but Rego is a solid player, who apparently has self esteem issues, and doesn’t value his services very highly. Suits me fine – he’s a great value at that salary.

So, at 5-1, we are now in very strong command of our division: the other three teams have a combines four wins. We look like a playoff team, and now need to keep things firing and try to get ourselves positioned well for the postseason. Hell Creek is 6-0 and Seal Beahc is 5-1, so at the moment, we don’t even project to get a playoff bye. And the harder part of our schedule is still ahead of us. Without WR Mark Jackson, we’ll have our work cut out for us.

Is there a winning team in the IHOF that focuses on the running game much moreso than the passing game? I know Ben always preaches running the ball, but I see he hasn't had much success over there. I know the Plague are the current champions, but really my myopic impressions of the league are driven by your team and albionmoonlight's Fairbanks team (the original mad bomber darlings).

I think the Vicksburg team in IHOF is pretty effective with a run-first approach, and the excellent North Plainfield team is pretty balanced (contrary to common sense, tha team has quality players everywhere, mostly a result of the manager's savvy and sweat equity). But we haven't had a truly dominant run-first team so far in that league.

But we haven't had a truly dominant run-first team so far in that league.

I was going to mention Vicksburg also.

Last season they were 300 passes to 744 runs (including a 2,010 yard effort from their starting RB) with an 11-5 record last year.

Chili Dogs re-sign QB Derrick Sellers

Making amends for what was described as a “clerical error,” Chesapeake Head Coach Rico Petitgout re-introduced QB Derrick Sellers to a bemused press corps Tuesday.

“Derrick is a guy we want to keep around, and groom for a future role with this team,” Petitgout stated. “The events of last week were unfortunate, but we’re glad to have worked things out to everyone’s satisfaction.”

Damn. 59 points.

But the thing is, it was a very hollow 59 points. Small comfort for Calverton, but in this game the ball just bounced our way form the start. We only had 299 yards from scrimmage, but manged to collect turnovers and capitalize on miscues, and we put this one away with authority. Bobby Chesley got into the act with some good work late, but the game was in hand, and Hilton Boner was not injured, just was pulled out.

RB David Smith again was pretty effective – it looks like Morimasa is getting healthy, but I’m reluctant to completely bench Smith. Neither one is a superstar (any longer, in Morimasa’s case) – maybe we ought to go with a true committee approach at RB.

Game of a lifetime for DE Alvin Hall, our first-ever draft pick. He has been on the board with a sack in every game this year, and may be on his way to the first really impressive season we’ve gotten from him. He appears to be a great talent – nice to see him fulfilling that apparent ability. 11 sacks and a PRPct of 8.2 in 7 games – that’s a huge start for him.

Here, we face a team off to a pretty good start, but we get them at home and are decent favorites.

Not that it at all takes away from your record setting offensive explosion, but Calverton was off to a good start mostly on the back of their injury-prone, now out for the year, QB. They're at best a paper tiger without Martin.

The good news for you is Seal Beach lost unexpectedly to Portland, so you're ahead in the bye race now.

Taking Stock – Stopping the Run

With a bye week ahead for us, I wanted to do a little checking into the team’s total effort this year. On defense, my front is designed to stop the run – and I generally find that doing so effectively is an underpinning to a lot of other things going well.

Here’s how things have fared in that regard this year, thus far:

WEEK – GAME RushAtt-Yards-YPC Team Avg-YPC Result Game Result

Week 1 vs SCA 25-78 3.1 29-119 4.1 ++ Win, 24-14
Week 2 at BUR 33-107 3.2 28-96 3.4 + Loss, 17-7
Week 3 at DAV 23-106 4.6 28-109 3.8 -- Win, 29-26
Week 4 vs NRW 28-79 2.8 27-103 3.8 ++ Win, 30-23
Week 5 vs POR 25-62 2.4 30-97 3.2 ++ Win, 27-20
Week 6 at AYR 19-59 3.1 26-120 4.6 ++ Win, 24-8
Week 7 vs CAL 20-47 2.3 19-69 3.6 ++ Win, 59-19

Compared to what those teams have done over the course of the season, we were more effective in stopping the opposition running game than the rest of the league most of the time. We slipped against Davis (but still eked out a win there), but they admittedly did get 41 of their rushing yards against us from their QB, which is a somewhet different matter than bruising their way with a power rushing game.

At this point, through seven games, here is the selection from the team summary relevant to rushing defense:

2007 Summary for Chesapeake Chili Dogs

Opponents Team Rank
Rushes 173 11
Rushing Yards 538 3
Yards Per Carry 3.10 1

Bottom line is: we have been winning in most of our games, so it’s not a surprise that opponents are not running as many times against us as usual. But we are allowing among the lowest total yards on the groun of anyone in the league – and when assessed on the ever-important yards per carry, we have a sterling 3.1 yard average, best in the league.

Big plays mean a lot in football, and having an explosive scoring attack is always nice. But consistently grinding out yardage is the best backbone to a winning philosophy. Deny your opponent that luxury, and you have an upper hand.

When this team was at its best, it was our defensive front that was the centerpiece – we were absolutely formidable against the run, and also got after opposing passers very well. Right now, objective number one is being met by this group – we are proving to be tough to run against, and that has helped patch over some inconsistencies elsewhere on the team to get us to a solid 6-1 record.

Cakewalk game, obviously. South Carolina is in “next year” mode, and we are just hitting our stride. This should be an obvious blowout.

There’s the nonsense that I have come to (sometimes) expect from this team. Here’s your key stat – we lose the turnover battle 5-0, of course we lose the game. Greivously disappointing, and it puts a big dent into our postseason thinking.

Here are the league standings at this point, more or less midway through the season:

Davis 2 7 0 .222 164 205 2-6 0-3

So, right now, we are two full games in the loss column beind Hell Creek, whose +65 in point differential underlies them as a very solid team. Ours is comparable, but is inflated by the one big 40-point win. My guess is that we will be battling against Wheeling and Calverton (and perhaps Seal Beach) for the #2 seed in the conference. We are at Seal beach next week, and can make a statement there, but will need to do so on the road again.

Our late-season games against Mars and Capital City look like they will be a big deal for us – but we need to take care of business in the games that we should win, if any of this is going to be relevant at all.

An unreal finish. I feel like my teams suffer the dreaded “FOF comeback curse” more often than their fair share, but that’s exactly what this felt like. We are down and by all appearances out… but a miracle finish gives us the win. Unreal.

12 year veteran receiver Walter Peter is an unremarkable specimen. His role on the team is mostly as leader and mentor. In theory we were going to be picking up top young talent at the WR position, and he’d be bringing them along from the bench. It hasn’t panned out that way. This week, he posts career-best numbers for us, and earns the game ball. What a day.

Here are the conference standings:

With the win, we keep pace – but that’s it. Next week, we are home for Dodge City, where a win would probably put us in true command of the division, and a loss would probably cause us to focus primarily on that goal rather than the bigger picture of seeding.

With QuikSand frolicing in Vegas, I have assumed temporary control of the Chesapeake Chili Dogs to make sure they keep a legal roster intact and make depth chart changes if any injuries arise. I will continue Quik's dynasty here until (if) Quik returns from Vegas. So, without further ado, here are the results from Week 11, ran last Friday...

Dodge City comes to town in a game that could give Chesapeake control of the NC East with a victory. The Vigilantes seem to get the most out of a mediocre roster and even won the NC East last year after a trading away several key players. But, the Chili Dogs simply outmatch this squad. Victory is imminent.

Dodge City squeaks this one out and stays within striking distance in the NC East. Chesapeake had a chance to win it late, but missed a 53-yard field goal. Their run defense was absymal at best, yielding 231 rushing yards to the Vigilantes. The Chili Dogs will regroup and try to get back on track with the Anawann Corn Shuckers up next.

Week 12 up tomorrow...

Week 12: Chesapeake (7-3) at Annawan (5-5)

Coming off a heart-breaking, crushing loss to Dodge City, the Chesapeake Chili Dogs look to rebound against a mediocre Annawan team that comes into this contest sporting a 5-5 mark. The Chili Dogs would love to notch a road win after losing in their friendly confines last Sunday. Let's see if they get the job done.

Chesapeake gets out in front early, leading 7-3 after the first quarter and QB Hilton Boner tosses a pair of second quarter touchdowns to all but put this one away. RB Chadwick Morimasa tacks on another seven and the Chili Dogs continue to put up points in garbage time, winning this one 38-3. WR Jimmy Castellano enjoyed a big day hauling in six balls for 135 yards.

Dodge City took care of Burlington, 30-17, to remain one game behind Chesapeake in the NC East. With five games remaining, the Chili Dogs, at 8-3, are firmly in the playoffs as only six NC teams have amassed six or more wins to date.

[shameless self-promotion]Over in the AC, the Shreveport Hurricanes, controlled by yours truly, continue to hold down the top spot with a 9-2 mark, tied with Hudson Valley. But, with Mars looming and QB Paul Jennings out with an injury, the Hurricanes will have to tread water just to stay ahead of South Jersey in the AC North.[/shamless self-promotion]

Chesapeake returns home next week to face State College. Bookies make them 10-point favorites on the early line.

Thanks for pitching in, FishFan. Today I am celebrating being "in the black" for the trip (after deducting all travel, lodging, and related costs). WSOP satellites are on the agenda for tonight... I'd feel kinda silly being out here and not taking a stab or two.

FishFan

06-30-2005, 04:49 PM

No problem, Quik. I'll have results from yesterday's sim up tomorrow. Enjoy Vegas and good luck with the satellites...

Fresh off an easy 38-3 road win over Anawann, the Chesapeake Chili Dogs return home to face 3-8 State College.

Chesapeake scored the game's first 24 points before State College rattled off 20 straight points of their own. Fortunately for the Chili Dogs, State College could muster no more in the final 5:34. After vaulting to the big lead, Chesapeake sat back on their heels and managed just three drives (not counting the final four plays) in the second half, all of which resulted in punts. The win, coupled with a grueling 14-14 Dodge City/Wheeling tie, gave the Chili Dogs a two game advantage in the win column.

Boner was efficient all afternoon, throwing for over 300 yards on 21 of 37 passing. He added a pair of touchdowns without turning the ball over. The defense, while giving up over 150 yards on the ground for the third straight game, played well enough to get the job done.

Next up: 7-5 Capital City comes to town. Chesapeake is listed as a five point favorite on the early betting lines.

In Week 16, we drop another decision to Mars, but Dodge City’s loss gives us the division title. However, we will be heading for the road in the diviaional playoffs (if we even make it that far) so things are not looking so good in the big picture. We are, at best, a “sleeper” contender in the playoffs.

Hell Creek is the heavy favorite in our conference, and at 14-1 and +147 in point differential, pretty clearly the class of the league. We look to be headed for the #3 seed in the conference – good enough to play the final qualifying wild card team, but we will be on the road if we get a win in the WC round, presumably against Wheeling. It is certainly possible that we will face a division rival in the Wild Card round – Dodge City has the spot right now, and gets into the postseason with a (pretty likely) win over South Carolina this week.

Week 17: Chesapeake at Portland

This is a relatively meaningless game, as we can’t get a bye week, and have already won the division. We could conceivably lose the #3 seed and drop to #4, but that doesn’t amount to much of a difference, really.

So, we do manage to just completely limp into the playoffs, riding a three-game losing streak into the postseason. Great.

The good news is that we face Calverton in the playoff opener, the team that we somehow thrahsed 59-19 earlier this season. That either sets this up as a revenge game for them, or another chance to exploit a god matchup for us. We’ll see.

A few observations here…

We averaged over 4 yards per carry, and were in the upper half of the league in this stat. I believe that’s a first. Morimasa certainly has helped, and I suspect we also benefitted from our investment in the offensive line. So that is nice to see.

In Mark Jackson’s absence, Justin Berkey had his best season to lead our receiving corps. I am glad that we have re-signed him to a solid long term deal. Marcus Meneses was also very effective for us this year, mostly playing from the slot position as our third receiver (on field nearly all the time in our offense – he actually saw more pass plays than Berkey did).

Our collective offensive line performance was okay:

This is not exactly a “snowplow” group up front just tossing people out of the way – only RT Tilton had a particularly impressive feat in run blocking. But nobody was a huge liability in the pass blocking scheme, which is the main concern – we conceded 32 sacks in about 700 pass plays – or one sack for every 22 pass plays or so. That’s livable.

Hilton Boner, behind a mediocre line and with a depleted receiving corps, manaed to post a passer rating of 77.8 – not spectacular, but on par with hat we expect from him. He remains our lynchpin, like it or not – this team is predicated on throwing the ball a lot.

On the defensive side, we end up yielding 3.66 yards per carry – 5th in the league, but not as strong as we had been during our good period. Stopping the run is critical to succes in the playoffs, I am convinced, so I hope we can put together some good efforts in the weeks ahead. DT Eugene Bradham had another standout season for us, anchoring the defensive line and staying firm against the run. We will never see another 16-sack season from him, but he remains a critical component to our scheme. DE Alvin Hall put together his best season to date, with 14.5 sacks and a PR Pct of 9.4, both career highs. DE Donald Shihi stayed in at RDE all year long, and posted a respectable PRPct of 6.9 for the year.

CB Ferdy Nave, in his first full year with us, was a solid addition to the secondary with 6 picks to lead the team. John Raab didn’t register the same kind of interceptions, but was effective in coverage for us all season. Bella and Carr were both solid at safety, benefitting from our defensive LB rotation to each rank among the team leaders in tackles. Overall, our pass defense was pretty average – which is fine, but less than we had hoped for.

This is a mixed season for us – we’re back on top in the division and in the playoffs, which is good. However, we made a number of moves this year designed to “win now.” We dealt away future draft picks to get veteran players like RB Morimasa, CB Raab, and LB Rosenbaum. And now, we look at our results – and unless we make an improbably playoff run toward another title, all we will have accomplised is, essentially, a bump of one or two games in the final standings. I really had been hoping that this team might be a defensive powerhouse, but I think we simply lack the fundamentals to be that type of team right now. And without an ace at QB (no offense to Boner) we simply can’t be that efficient on offense – we just get by with our pretty average personnel there.

This afternoon, we will see Calverton come to Chesapeake for our wild card game -- and they will be starting a recent acquisition from the waiver wire, a 4th year free agent QB who has never taken a professional snap.

Wild Card Game: Calverton at Chesapeake

We are 8 point favorites against Calverton, a pretty solid team who has been hurt badly by QB injuries. After their starter went down, they resorted to Kendrick Ping, an early-season CHE casualty. Ping has now gotten hurt also, so they will send out a total unknown, Riddick Henry.

Box Score: Calverton at Chesapeake

So, we manage to dodge a bullet here, even while our offense has basically gone missing. The defense played well, and the fact that Calverton had a green QB throwing 51 passes certainly helped too. An 0-for-2 in the kicking game didn’t help things, especially in a low scoring affair like this.

Anyway – we head on to Wheeling, for our divisional game. We’re on the road, but only a 1-point dog by the early line (though that might be a partial remnant of the scrub lineup Wheeling had active for their regular season finale). We are in pretty good health, actually – the team is as ready as we’re going to get, it appears.

Boner is going to have to cut down on his recent interception tendencies...

Boner is remarkably inconsistent, considering he is essentially the lynchpin of the whole offense. I am basically structured around and committed to the pass-first offensive style, even without the requisite parts to make it work. Honestly, none of my receivers make you say "yes, just what we want there" and Boner is pretty average. We're just trying to make do.

We have strong personnel on defense, but on offense, we're just trying to put up some points. 7 Likely won't be enough next week. And you're definitely right - the interception thing is a no-no in the playoffs, I'm told.

You've made it work this far, just a matter of the defense and Boner clicking at the same time...

Divisional Playoff: Chesapeake at Wheeling

We are healthy, but now we face the real uphill battle, going on the road to face a better team than us, with an offense that has been gasping the last few weeks. We are underdogs here, and need to really click to get through this week against a very solid foe.

Well, Hilton Boner connects on fewer than half of his passes, and has five interceptions – say goodnight, Gracie.

I may do some sort of recap down the road, but for now – this caps off a somewhat frustrating season in the FOFL, as we at least got back to the playoffs, but really never took the form of a title contender, and I fear that in the emergin new era of this league (with severla teams led by superstar-caliber quarterbacks) we are actually moving farther away from that goal rather than closer, despite my supposed best efforts. We have basically emptied out our upcoming draft already (trying to “win now”) and I’m not that optimistic about most of our young players.

Mixed feelings here in Chesapeake.

Postseason/offseason wrap-up

In the league championship game, Mars surprises Hell Creek a bit and takes the championship, sending Hell Creek to their second straight title game defeat.

We head into the offseason, and get word about our players and who might be departing. My biggest concern is for WR Mark Jackson, who suffered a serious injury last season and could either depart or feel permanent effects from his injury.

Well, WR Jackson is not in the retired list – but we have three players who are:

WR Walter Peter was a solid contributor for our receiving corps, seeing a good deal of action last year in Jackson’s absence, and posting 647 yards and a career high 5 TDs. He was also a position leader and mentor, both of which will be missed.

LB Gary Rosenbaum was a trade acquisition last season – didn’t cost us that much, and was a solid contributor to an already deep front seven squad. He posted 64 tackles in a LB rotation for us this season, and perhaps the best thing that might come of his time here is that the reduced stats for some other guys might drop their long term salary demands.

S Peter Bella was a team favorite, and a very solid player for us. Five seasons, 15 interceptions, and a career PDPct of 19.9 made him a steady player and veteran presence for our secondary. We re-signed his mate Mark Carr to a new deal at season’s end, but Bella didn’t come back for a 16th season.

The continued bad news is that WR Mark Jackson is healthy, but the injury last year has made him a shadow of his former self. My scout now rates him at 15/20, which I judge to be pretty fair, and there’s no way he can earn his $3.5 million salary. We will take a $3m cap hit to release him, but there’s little choice. So – for all intents and purposes, he’s gone too.

Great.

This year is also a “pivot” in QB Hilton Boner’s contract, as he is slated to earn $3 million this year in base salary, but $16 million next year. In all likelihood, we will end up cutting him before next season – he’s currently in his 15th season already, and with this veteran team crumbling around him, it’s hard to think of him as the future.

I decide to post some information about players who are going to be available from our team. I have some changes in mind for the coming year, and I already know of some guys who simply won’t fit with us any longer.

CB Bradley Ashurst – Big hitting cornerback and special teams standout, good ratings in man (47/51) and zone (61/70) defenses, signed for two cheap seasons.

CB Howard Kindred – Solid all-around corner, solid ratings in zone (66) and man (52) coverages, good interceptions (55/66), open to long term contract talks.

Not a whole lot of good news here at the home office.

I'm curious as to what your plan at QB is (if you can reveal, this is always tricky in MP Dynasties).... You leaning more towards a vet acquisition (anyone on the FA market worth looking at?) or the Draft (I believe you tend to not like to start rookie QBs juding on your past dynasties)

QuikSand

07-22-2005, 07:57 AM

I don't think I'm comfortable going young at QB with this team -- we throw a lot, and that simply isn't likely to change (even with the apparenbt loss of WR Jackson), and I think it would be a big step backward to go young there. I don't have a first round pick in this draft, so it's fairly unlikely that I'll come away with a "QB of the future" either.

My guess is we will stick with Boner for this year, we'll keep an eye on Chesley (our veteran backup who isn't bad) and will keep an eye out for bargain bin veterans on the FA wire (where we have had some success in the past, like Chesley and Ping). If there's a standout free agent, I might try to make a bid -- our cap situation might not be so bad since we lost three veteran players in the offseason. But in this league, I'd be quite surprised if a high quality QB actually became available -- most teams have had fairly modest cap trouble if any, and there's no good reason for a star caliber player to become a free agent (as I described earlier... the league started with a depressed-quality player pool, meaning that every team has had an easy time renegotiating and resigning pretty much all the players it wants... the only good free agents have come from untended teams or oversights, in my judgment).

2008 Offseason Underway

After a bit of hiatus, the FOFL is underway with the first stages of its offseason.

I confess I do not have a plan this year – I don’t think this year’s team will be as good as last year’s team was… I firmly believe that the league on balance is getting better as its young players develop… I also believe that we hve not invested enough in young players to keep up with this movement.

We may be a playoff team this year – perhaps good enough to limp in again and get thrashed by one of the good teams with a star QB. Is that worth the investment? or should we be focusin on where this team is going to be next season and beyond? It’s a tough call – throwing away a season (or practically so) is a tough thing, expecially when it takes months of real time to get through.

We do have a major announcement, though – a new head coach. Blake Baker led the Seal Beach Stingrays to the playoffs last season, and now comes aboard for us in Chesapeake. He is a great offensive mind, and we hope he can help spur our attack a bit, after a lackluster season last year. So, this is a potentially big move for us, as I judge Baker to be a step above our departing (retiring?) coach Rico Pettigout, who was showing some decline.

With the signing of Baker, we are now at the league staff salary cap, so we cannot afford to make any other moves. We will have to ait a couple stages to see the free agent pool.

Renegotiations and Releases

In preparing for the upcoming free agency, the Chili Dogs have made some personnel moves.

Regrettably, we have had to let go of WR Mark Jackson, our franchise’s best receiver. A serious injury last year has wiped out his solid ratings, rendering him an overpaid old man. We take a cap hit with the bonuses he had been paid, but eliminate his salary as well – a very disappointing turn of events.

DE Donald Shihi has been released. Shihi has had a productive career, and was okay for us as our RDE starter last season (34+17 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 6.9 PRPct) but his presence has caused other problems for our already solid defensive front. I tried to secure a trade for him last year, but in this league there is simply no market for decent veteran players – so we release him now, giving him a chance to lock in for a 15th season somewhere else.

K Donald Mizer has also been released – after five years with the club, Mizer has been given walking papers. 100 of 127 on his career in FG% makes for a respectable 78.7%, but he missed a few important kicks for us last year, and we will do our best to replace him with a more affordable player.

We work out new salary deals with LB James Dupree, LB John Galvan, DT Martin Santos, FB Charles Emerson, LB Urso Harrold, S Les Hornick, S Chappy Kettler, and LB D.J. Dennis – in each case shaving a bit off our current year’s encubrance.

With these several moves, we are prepared to enter free agency with about $14 million in usable cap space – which positions us fairly well for a move or two. I don’t think we have room to land a monster impact player, but we will certainly be looking for some veterans. We only have a few currently unsigned players who are priorities for us to re-sign – so most of this money is available for new players if we need it to be.

Transactions Update

Nothing earth-shattering here, but a few items to note.

We have executed a trade with Jupiter, dealing away two veteran players for one of theirs. We send away 11th year LB James Dupree, and 11th year CB Bradly Ashurst to Jupiter, in exchange for their 11th year CB Henry Birkland. (Wow – a lot of 11s, maybe we should double down?) Birkland has been a decent reserve corner for Jupiter, and will fill largely the same role for us. He is also a CB mentor, and ought to help bring along young Billy Joe Scanlon – and that possibly frees up the slot was have used on Terry Fillmore, who is not nearly as capable as Birkland. Good move – we send off two decent players who were poor fits for us, and pick up a guy who is a good one.

We have also signed two free agent players in the early going:

RB Courtney Criswell may be the next name called in the “who-wants-to-run-the-ball” sweepstakes renewal this year. He has decent ratings in hole rec (34/36) and elusiveness (90/100) and should be a usable player in our offense. The league is going to add a couple decent rookie RBs in this draft, but overall it’s still a very, very thin position.

WR Joey Newbury will add some depth for us at WR, and has some big play ability if he has to see the field. We’re still down a big notch with the loss of WR Mark Jackson, but Newbury can help this group a bit, I think.

Again – nothing too major, but a couple things to mention. The next several stages of free agency ought to be telling, as we have a number of irons in the fire – there are a few players out there who would make a pretty big splash somewhere, and one or two could end up here in Chesapeake.

Free Agency Update

After a slight delay in the league schedule, we have another round of free agency processed – and a couple of news additions.

Andre Shepard is a 6th year reserve-caliber linebacker, his skills look like a pretty good somplement to me – he’s pretty decent in stopping the run, diagnosing the play, and dropping into coverage. He won’t be a pass rushign threat, but we can use him as a backup, and he can do special teams duty if needed. Minsal deal – we were the only team showing interest.

Blake Rice is a similar guy – also a 6th year linebacker on a minsal deal. He’s a bit better in coverage, and on special teams – probably slots just behind Shepard, if he sticks.

We are still locked into battles for a few big-name free agent players – neither of these two guys is likely to really change the compelxion of the team, admittedly.

QuikSand

08-13-2005, 07:30 AM

Free Agency Continues…

We make one pretty important move in free agency, as we re-sign C John Houtz. Houtz has been with us, as a starter, since the very beginning – now he has assumed the role of veteran position leader for us, as well as being a mentor at the C position. Solid pass blocker, no real complaints here. His deal is very affordable for the next two seasons – we will pay him $900K this year, as he wasn’t getting any other interest.

LG James Cid is a 13th year player, who formerly started for Norwich, and comes to us on a fairly cheap veteran contract. Also a pass blocker first, Cid will be looking to play a reserve role for us, probably at both guard slots. Again, we get him without conpetition.

Once again – nothing too earth-shaking here. Two decent veteran additions along the offensive line are fine, but neither guy was good enough to get anyone else excited.

There are still a few top drawer players out there (well, the dresser may not be all that high, but it has to have a top drawer, right?) so we will keep after things.

QuikSand

08-15-2005, 07:34 AM

Free Agency Update

Well, the biggest, and only, news of this cycle is the free agent we didn’t sign, and that’s QB John Eidson. He’s a solid 10th year guy who was a free agent this season after either an injury or (more likely) a tank-induced benching last year in South Carolina. There were three teams in the bidding, and we had a pretty substantial offer in to him, as we saw him as a possible long-term starter. However, South Carolina swept back into the bidding, and locked him up to a new five year deal with a $12m+ signing bonus. Bully for them – so no big breaking news here.

We look ahed to this season with 15th year Hilton Boner in his last season with us, and with 10th year backup Bobby Chesley sitting idly by. Neither one gives us leaps and bounds of optimism for the long haul at the position.

A Word About The Team-Building Efforts

So, as I introduced the season, I more or less confessed that I didn’t know what to do with the team. I have been building this team for success since the beginning, and we have been solid – four of five seasons in the postseason, and one title along the way. No real complaints.

However, I do recognize that my “play for now” approach has had consequences – specicially, we are bnasically void of any particularly exciting young players. My best young players are probably LB Kuykendall and LT Tilton – and these are solid starters, but not superstars by any stretch. We have never made a draft pick in the top 15, and have never had a major draft breakout – so we don’t have a lot to “build around” for the long term future.

In a multiplayer league, this isn’t really a crisis – there’s more urgencyc to win now than to build for the long term anyway – but in this league, there is a specific problem. The incoming players are, on the whole, better than our veteran players. So, the teams who have been formed around high quality rookies (especially at QB and RB) now have players of a far higher caliber than really any of mine. Especially after taking a tough set of retirements this season, I fully expect my team’s overall roster rating to drop pretty substantially.

Specifically at QB, we have been working the hell out of Hilton Boner, a guy we took in the 7th round of the dispersal draft. He’s now in his twilight anyway, but my scout rates him the #20 QB in the league – and this is the centerpiece for our pass-happy offense! Similarly, we don’t have a single receiver who rates in the top 20 in our scout’s view – Mark Jackson did at one point, but he is gone and the rest of the journeymen we have around here simply aren’t highly rated guys. Indeed – looking back at the QB rankings, each of the top five QBs are in their first five seasons – meaning that they came from the game-generated drafts, rather than the initial dispersal draft (and that’s putting the few classes of youngsters up against all the fully-developed veterans – they still come out on top!).

So – what to do? Is this a team that ought to be tanking? I’m simply not willing to deliberately lose games, but we certainy could execute a “youth movement” and start only young players who have some shot to develop – I could put guys liike DE Gabe Shah and CB Billy Joe Scanlon into critical roles (ahead of veterans who are better right now) and basically start playing for the future – and probably harvest a nice batch of early draft piicks next season. It is certainly an option, and maybe it’s out best option.

But I have, essentially, rejected that option. Instead, I have decided to stay with the “play for now” approach, and take the seasons one at a time. To that end, I have decided that if I can’t improve the team this year in a raw talent sense (which I belive to be true), then I have to focus on other things. One thing that is under my control, more or less, is the team chemistry – I understand how it works, and have decided to try to make tht an asset this season, rather than a mixed bag like it has been.

So—to get our house in order, we needed to make some moves. DE Donald Shihi played fine last year, but he was a guy nobody liiked – we had a couple conflicts with him as team leader. We release him, and our D7 situation gets better immediately. Why did we trade two solid, grade-B players like LB James Dupree and CB Bradly Ashurst to get a grade-C guy like CB Henry Birkland? Because Birkland comes to this team and steps right in as our position leader – and immediately generates affinities with our two starting cornerbacks and our former position leader and mentor safety. Meanwhile, trading away Dupree frees us from the last personality confliict we had along the defensive front.

At this intermediate point, the only personality conflicts that remain on this team are with our two unsigned quarterbacks, Buckner and Sellers. I expect both to be gone by training camp. We won’t be able to build up massive affinities right away – we are just too invested in a completely scattershot roster to do that – but we will enter this season with zero personality conflicts, and at least a reasonable effort to have some players coordinated together.

So – that’s my big piicture thinking. It’s a little bit harder than it seems, especially when you find that two players you both want to keep have high leadership ratings but a built-in conflict. It requires a weird conversation with someone as to why you want their fifth-best guy at a position group, some 13th year geezer who barely sees the field. And, it’s probably best that you don’t mention that said guy is the only guy in the whole league who would resolve your little pickle, too.

Anyway – that’s a general message as to what I’m up to. WR Joey Newbury is our best success story – by signing him as a free agent, he becomes our new position leader and we now have four affinities among the seven other players there – that’s now our best group overall. CB Birkland gives us a few affinities at DB, but we are terribly disparate there, so not much room to gain. The defensive front and offensiev lines are just a mess, it’s all I can do to get rid of the conflicts – we won’t have terribly high affiniity levels there, I can see already. And at RB, we might look for matching rookies, but the best we could do was sign RB Courtney Criswell as our “veteran guy” who will get along well with position leader Charles Emerson.

As I bid on free agents, I won’t pursue a guy who would generate a conflict, and I give a second look at guys who wouold generate an affinity. So far, it has made this offseason a bit more interesting for me to follow, as the “plan comes together” a la the A Team.

Will this make us champions? I rather doubt it. Will it make us slightly better than before? I guess it’s possible. Has this made this offseasosn interesting? Absolutely. So, I’ve gotten something out of this, at least.

Free Agency, Week 6

With a number of our big-ticket targets dropping off the map, it’s looking like this is going to be, essentially, a fill-in season for us in free agency.

We had been bidding on a pretty decent linebacker Howard Loftin, but the veteran ends up going for a pretty rich two year deal with Shreveport. Thanks a lot, FishFan – I hand you the keys to the car for a while, and you turn around and stuff my lifeless body right into the trunk. What a pal!

RB Cordell Madrigal, last year’s veteran fill-in for us, has signed a two year deal with Toronto – he might get a chance to carry the ball there, but was not likely to get that here, so we didn’t bid.

We do land two new players on free agent contracts, however:

QB Harry Ross is likely to end up our big money free agent this season – but this is buying mostly on spec. My scour rates the 5th year guy as a 40/53 – not spectacular, but in the same ballpark as the two guys we currently have. Plus – he is a lot younger than our current duo. So, Ross wil be in the mix this year – probably as a backup, but we will consider him a rela option for next year’s starting job. He’s a pretty decent, double-affinity guy for us, so that shouldn’t hurt either. I put cash up front to land him – he hits our cap this year for $2.5 million – though I’m going to have unused cap space under any scenario anyway, so this is not very material, really.

S Brad Pope is a typical veteran DB free agent – he has a few decent skills, and they happen to match up with our need fairly well. 14th year guy, safety mentor, capable of starting in a pinch if we need him to – that’s all you can ask for from a minsal veteran, right?

So, two new faces – both add a little to our picture right now, but neither really shakes the foundation of the team at all.

Focus On: Defensive Front

With a day off from league exports, I want to take a close look at our defensive front. It has been a strong point of this defense historically, but through retirements and trades, we have thinned out this group somewhat. Right now, I am contemplating a shift from the 4-3 formation to the 3-4, and I think we are deeper at LB right now than at DL.

I’ll walk through the decision-making a bit, which might add a little bit of depth to this discussion.

WLB Urso Harrold 11 790 35/35 23/23 65/65 0 0.6 10.5

From the above group, if you can untagle the numbers, one thing becomes pretty clear. We have exactly three quality starters along the defensive line (Hall, Buxton, and Bradham) and we have three quality starters at linebacker (Watkins, Galvan, and Kuykendall). That, unfortunately, makes our ideal formation a 3-3. That is really not an option – though it does leave the door open for a high use of the nickel formation – which I will consider seriously for this year.

Anyway – if those six guys have starting jobs locked up, and they do, then what should we do with the seventh starter? We have options – as I see it, here are the basic possibilities:

Option 1 - Status Quo: Stay with the 4-3 defense, use DE Buxton as a DT, and put someone else in to play RDE. Best candidate to get that playing time is DT Santos, though he is pretty clearly in decline, and not the pass rusher he once was.

Option 2 – Run-stopping 4-3: Have DE Buxton become the full time RDE, his natural position. Use our best run-stopper Brown as the second DT alongside Bradham, perhaps platooning with Santos in passing situations as an inside pass rusher.

Option 3 – Go to simple 3-4: Start the big three on the DL in their natural spots, and insert a fourth linebacker. If we do this, the most straightforward LB lineup would be, left to right: Galvan – Watkins – Kuykendall – Harrold.

Option 4 – Go to 3-4, pull safety in at WLB: Another idea I’m open to is using a solid run-stopping safety as our starting weak-side linebacker. The best candidate we have for such a role is probably new signedd Brad Pope (RunD=57/65), who also has some solid coverage skills.

At this point, I am really not totally satisfied with any of these options. If we had a one-dimensional run-stopping linebacker, that would make things a lot easier – we could slot such a guy as our starter on the weak side, where he’d be the first guy out when we go into nickel or dime coverages. I really don’t mind using a run-stopper type in that slot – it’s often a goo way to economize on salary demands. However, we don’t have anyone who fits the profile all that well.

Urso Harrold is a good fit for the defense overall, but really he’s like a fifth LB – if we lost Galvan, for instance, I’d be just fine slotting Harrold in to play on the strong side, where his decent pass-rushing and excellent coverage skills (not really shown above) would be a great asset. But puttin him at the weak side is emphasizing exactly what he does worst (stop the run) and pulls him out when he’d excel (against the pass). I don’t want to swap the strong and weak roles – using harrold full time (at the SLB slot) and relegating Galvan to the weak side means we’d be pulling one of our best players (Galvan) off the field an awful lot.

It’s right now that I will again curse the name of FishFan and Shreveport, who grabbed the free agent linebacker who would have made a real difference for us here. LB Howard Loftin is a solid run stopper, a decent pass defender, and would be an ideal fill-in as our starting weak side linebacker. Alas – Shreveport suddenly found that they had money to burn, and we’re left with the silver medal for the second-best contract offer.

At this point, I am left without a clear solution here. If we don’t sign a single additional player for the defensive front, my guess is that we will go ahead and switch to the 3-4, starting Urso Harrold in the weak slot anyway – essentially Option 3 above. That would make LBs Andre Shepard and D.J. Dennis into our key reserves, which is okay (bot not spectacular). And we’d have three excellent starters on the DL, with three solid reserves to cover any injuries. The real weak slot there is at WLB, but I think it’s the best option for right now.

We have a few offers in for free agent players who might alter this landscape a bit – but not likely anyone who steps right in and becomes a starter for us, I don’t think. We’re mostly down to guys who help add some depth. I have bids in for a couple veteran defensive linemen, but there really isn’t much of anything left at the LB positions to pursue.

We will keep at it in the FA pursuits, but at this point, I don’t think we have an ideal solution. It is certainly possible that I reverse course a bit, and decide to just stick with the 4-3 front, and use a platoon of guys in the second DT slot. That option might actually make the most sense even now – but if we add another decent DL soon, the balance of power and depth at these two positions might well shift enough for that to make the most sense.

Wow, Quik. I think you're overthinking the 3-4 vs. 4-3 issue. All you really need to know is: who's better, you second best ILB or your second best DT?

Well, "overthinking" is one of the things that gives a dynasty thread some flavor, no?

And I don't think "better" is all that simple - the guys in those two spots are basically comparable in overall talent, but have very different strengths and weaknesses. Given my current lot of players, there's a pretty meaningful fork in the road here, I think, even if their overall talent level isn't that different.

Free Agency Update

As the middle stages of free agency have continued, there are mostly minor updates. My own availability has been spotty, which hasn’t been ideal – but this usually isn’t a particularly critical time.

I did, however, miss out on one pretty high quality free agent defensive end – a guy who was apparently released, and signed in the very next stage (for which I didn’t even get in an export). Shame – acquiring him probably would have made my 4-3/3-4 debate even more interesting, but at least would have given us one more option in the pass rush. Alas, the player signed immediately and for a pretty cheap contract (one I am certain I’d have outbid) – so it seems I had bad timing after all.

We do, however, land a new player for our DL:

12th year DE Miles Kershner is not the long-term solution to any of our needs, but for right now he ought to be useful as a solid run-stopper (65/67). He’s probably a little bit better than William Brown, so if we end up needing a decent run-stopper, perhaps in a DT platoon, we could call on Kershner for that role.

Kershner has actually been a full-time player most of his career, and has been pretty successful – 36.5 sacks in five seasons (67 games) and a career PRPct rating of 4.6, pretty respectable. I’m not expecting him to get full time duty with us unless we suffer injuries, but he ought to be a solid reserve. He gets along great with Steven Watkins also, an added plus.

We are, incidentally, the leading bidders for startnig caliber safety David Plata, but that has been the case for several weeks. Our offer is solid, but he has not committed – so we wait. I am comfortable with the group we have, but adding a guy at the top of the depth chart can’t hurt. We’ll see when, or if, he signgs.

I don't have file access to make a substantive update, but I can report briefly that my top choice among rookies who I thought might actually slip past the first round or so was indeed there for us with our first draft pick at 3(1), so we are very pleased to land an intriguing DB there. I had a QB second on my list, but he was selected in late round two.

For our later picks, I expect mostly reserves and affinity guys, nothing too exciting.

Free Agent Update

We have landed SS David Plata in free agency, and secured the top remaining veteran player available. Plata is a 1th year man with a career PDPct of 20.3, 339 tackles and 23 interceptions on his five year resume. Very solid player – immediate starter for us (or for most any team). The deal is fairly cap-friendly for three seasons with base salaries of $2.5m each season plus $1.2m in bonus – after thos three years we may eat a $2.4 bonus if we release him, but in all likelihood he will play out his remaining days in Chili Dogs digs.

That is our last move in open free agency – now we will build up with youth, and ready ourselves for the season ahead.

Chili Dogs Draft Update

We did not have any early picks in this year’s rookie draft, but still managed to come away with one player I rated pretty highly, and with later picks hope to grab a few solid potential contributors.

SS Herman Padgett (Pick 3.1, received last year in trade from South Carolina) – Padgett is an intriguing pick, with a pretty good skill set for our already-deep secondary. My scout rated him 28/52 prior to the draft – I’m hopeful that he will even bump up a bit on closer look. With a relatively high current skills rating, pretty good combine scores, and no return skills at all (indirectly indicating that his current skills are located in the areas I care about like coverage and run defense) – I am hopeful that this could be a nice breakout pick for us, and I am very glad he made it to our first selection.

CB Steven McWilliams (Pick 4.24) is our second selection for our increasingly crowded secondary, and will try to catch on in a reserve role. He has pretty good potential in coverage skills, and very high volatility – so he seemed worth a look for us with a fairly late round pick. Regrettably, a couple guys I also wanted went in the handful of picks right ahead of us, depleting my target list pretty suddenly.

...more to come...

Note: I had planned to wait until the rookie draft was finished to post a recap, but as the draft is now entering its third week in real time, it has become a complete farce and is rather absurd for me to sit back and actually try to wait this out. So - above is my synopsis of the two picks we have made so far, and we will hope to get through the fifth round perhaps by Monday night or so.

I am really *trying* to keep this interesting for a potential reader... but I also recognize that this is very difficult to do, when even the league owners themselves can't manage to stay involved enough to drop by to make a draft pick (or even to put in a few names into the draft tool, which lets you queue up players in advance... or even, failing that, to just ask for picks to be made automatically in their absence).

Writing this thread has increased my interest in this team -- but I'm starting to feel like this investment of time and effort has been poorly placed.

I don't know what to say about FOFL... I'm guessing the deal is that there are 15-20 entusiastic owners, and the rest are in some state of disengagement. Regrettably, that doesn't seem to cut it -- we end up with teams that just go untended, and others that are clearly not being wisely/actively managed, and absurd delays in the draft. Now, the league is working to build up some draft timing rules (currently there is none, and we have seen teams spend literally days on the clock with no action taken by anyone) to speed things up -- which is good, but won't fix the "culture" problem there.

In any event - I'm just venting a bit. I enjoy managing the team, and am looking forward to this season, even though I don't think my team is much of a serious contender.

Draft Update - Breaking News

LB Perry Hoffman has been selected with pick 5.24 as the FOFL draft blazes right along. Hoffman is likely to contribute right away on special teams, and looks to have some potential as a reserve linebacker for us. Though he is nominally a weak-side backer, we expect to try him out on the inside, possibly as a SILB. If he’s competing for anyone’s job, it’s that of D.J. Dennis, who currently is a reserve ILB and special teams standout.

Chili Dogs Trade for Rookie RB

When the fourth round was underway, we were very interested in RB Ralph de los Santos, a verstile back who looks like he could play a nice utility role. We tried to trade up to secure him, but failed, watching him get selected at 5(2) by Duluth.

We entered conversations with Duluth, and have now worked out a trade to get de los Santos. We end up sending our picks in rounds five, six, and seven next year, along with RB David Smith to Duluth – they will send us the signed rookie RB de los Santos. I am pleased with the deal – he ought to give us one more intriguing option for our backfield.

Our rip-roaring draft odyssey continues, with one team now having been on the clock for 24 hours, with its owner not even visiting the FoxL forums for three days. I don’t know – I’m thinking maybe this is a suitable time for someone to step in and make an “Otto” pick here, eh? It’s the sixth round – if the team really cared about this pick, they would have filled the draft utility (or something). Alas.

The last file update contained a completely uneventful stage 17 of free agency.

Bubble Watch: RB Lewis Lee

As we head toward training camp, I will no doubt have some borderline cases to deal with. One that I can also see coming is RB Lewis Lee.

We picked up Lee as an undrafted rookie three seasons ago, and he has stuck as a decent deep reserve RB, and especially as a return man. In three seasons with the team, he has been on field for only 35 plays from scrimmage – yielding 6 carries for 20 yards, and no receptions. He is not a viable option in either the rushing nor receiving game, with no important skills rated over the 40s.

However, he currently is our best-rated return man, with skills in both punt returns (37) and kick returns (50/66). For his career, he has averaged 8.4 yards per punt return, and 25.2 yards per kickoff return – both are pretty respectable numbers. So, he has contributed, and if he makes the team, that would be why.

Our bigger issue is the roster spot he’d be squeezing out if he does indeed make the team. We already have three active rosters spots committed to RB Courtney Criswell, FB Chadwick Morimasa, and FB Cvharles Emerson. Trading for the rookie RB Ralph de lo Santos labels him as the young player we’d like to see get some reserve time in the backfield, so we’d prefer to have him active if possible. Retaining Lee for a return role boosts to five the number of players we’d have active in our backfield most weeks – and that’s a burden to worry about, I think.

Keeping Lee, a non-affinity player on a team trying to move in that direction as much as possible, would also mean releasing one other player somewhere else, to get down to 53 players. So – while Lewis Lee’s modest salary of $550K is a non-issue, the “opportunity cost” of keeping him is pretty high.

Our best alternatives in the return game are to use S Mark Carr (51/62) as our primary kick returner with Henry Birkland (26) as the second man. Birkland has to remain active anyway, as he is our CB mentor for your youngsters there. In punt returns, we don’t have a great option, but could end up with rookie CB Steven McWilliams as our guy – I can’t se his ratings yet, but I’m guessing he’ll be maybe a 10-20 rated guy in punt returns.

So, Lewis Lee, on the bubble. Keeping him costs us an overall roster slot, an active roster slot, and (in all likelihood) an affinity. Cutting him puts a bunch of dopes on the field to return punts and kicks for us. Not a promising situation.

Roster Slot Assessment

As there is a bit of a lull at this point (heh, no kidding), I thought it might be a fair time to go through our current roster, and our current thinking about who is going to make the team (and implictly, how many spots we have yet unfilled).

POS PLAYERS WHO WILL MAKE THE TEAM BUBBLE PLAYERS SLOTS: NOW/MAX

QB Boner Chesley Ross 3 4

RB Criswell delosSantos Lee 2 4

FB Morimasa Emerson 2 2

TE Rego Lannon 2 2

WR Berkey Meneses Castellano 4 6
Newbury

C Houtz Wallace 2 2

G Cid Shaffer Beaton 2 3

T Tilton Gourdine Boyd 3 4

P/K Embry TBA 2 2

DE Hall Buxton Kershner Welch 4 5
Kleinsasser

DT Bradham Santos Shah Brown 3 4

ILB Watkins Dennis Rice 2 4

OLB Kuykendall Galvan Harrold Hoffman 4 6
Shepard

CB Raab Nave Scanlon McWilliams 4 6
Birkland Kindred

S Carr Plata Kettler Pope 4 6
Hornick Padgett

TOTAL COMMITTED SLOTS: 43

So, if we start out with the assumption that 43 players have “made the team” already, then we have basically ten spots up for grabs. (I am holding the kicker slot as filled, even though we don’t have a guy there at the moment, it’s not like I can use that spot for anything else)

Thinking practically, I will pretty much assume that my four rookies so far will at least make the team – so that bumps the number up to 45, really.

The biggest variable here is the offensive line, where I really haven’t found anyone I wanted to draft. We have seven guys slotted as “in” and really nobody else we plan to pursue. I think we are okay with our starting five – presumably using Wallace and Houtz as the center and at one of the guard slotsd (I haven’t decided exactly how yet), which places guys like Lenny Boyd (31/48) and James Cid (40/40) as our top reserves. That’s fine by me, actually. We need to have an eighth active OL, so there has to be at least one more guy on this roster – my best guess is that we will find a couple youngsters and/or castoffs, and go into the season with nine total. So, that is probably 47.

Now, running back. I have detailed my thoughts about Lewis Lee as a reserv RB basically just for returns. Right now, I think the chances are 50/50 that he sticks in that capacity. I frequently go digging in the pool of undrafted free agent players at RB, as there are often guys who have one or two decent skills there – so I imagine that we will have a few faces in camp to watch. My best guess is that we will just keep three players at RB, but our PR/KR options and the depth of ball carriers probably dictates that for us.

The two remaining places to focus are wide receiver and linebacker. We are a pass-happy team, running lots of three and four receiver sets, and right now we only have four guys slated to make the team. Not too good. Honestly, the ideal thing for this team would be to pick up one more decent veteran player (prehaps a punt returner) who we could use as a reserve WR and add some depth to the position. RB Criswell isn’t much of a pass-catcher, so receiving skills might be worth watching for from the RB crop as well – I don’t mind slotting a RB as a reserve WR as needed. (Lewis Lee eagerly raises his hand, and says he could do that…)

At linebacker, we have three solid guys in Watkins, Galvan, and Kuykendall. That is a good start. But past them, we have role-players. Harrold is better in coverage, Dennis is mostly a special teamer, and Shepard and Rice are just reserve quality. We pursued a veteran to add here, but lost out in the FA bidding. So, we end up being short here by one quality player, for my tastes. The rookie Hoffman doesn’t answer the question, he just gives us more mediocre depth.

If I assume from here that we won’t add any more veterans, and instead we will be filling in with rookies (including our two remaiing draft picks) – then my best guess is that we will be obliged to grab at least one receiver, one linebacker, and one running back, plus one or two offensive linemen. (And the obligatory kicker) If someone promising comes along at other positions, we will take a look, but our roster needs are fairly straightforward.

Update? Kinda.

We got a new file today. Advanced, I think, one stage in free agency. Nothing to report, of course.

We didn’t get anywhere in the draft. Despite the thread where there was masive suport for “get the show on the road” the league opted instead to defer to the interests of those who might not have seen it coming that we’d want to finish the damned draft.

The good news is that te team holding us up made his pick signed on last night, made his own pick, and we moved a handful of picks past him – CHE will probably get a pick done this morning, and hopefully another tomorrow night.

Sixth Round Pick

Chesapeake has drafted RB Floyd Fraser, in what amounts to more bad news for RB Lewis Lee. Fraser appears to have a few areas of some skill – among them elusiveness (potential maybe 80) and hole recognition (potential maybe 45-50), and he graded out pretty well in the agility drill at the combine. He also appears to have some third-down skills, including decent receiving abilities (or at least potentials). He has at least some measurable return skills also, and with this combination of assets, he might make a nice versatile third RB for our roster this season.

Sixth Round Continues

Our fitful front office decided to move up and grab the one remaining player we coveted, WR Dave Worcester. Worcester is a “tough guy” receiver – his primary skill seems to be going over the middle. He looks like he might have some possible utility as a deep reserve at WR, and he also has some punt return skills. If he happens to break out and improve – then we might be talking about a real contributor. For the price of a couple of seventh round picks, I’ll give him a look. He wasn’t even by the phone to take the “we picked you” call. Mel Kiper said “what the hell is Chesapeake thinking here?” I’m pleased.

Post-Draft Reality Check

We have a chance to get a closer look at our roster, both the rookies and the veterans, as we begin mini-camps. What we see, candidly, is just awful. This is a veteran team – we knew that – but the losses we suffered this year are particularly discouraging. At least eight players suffered meaningful losses, as age starts to wear on them.

I am not too surprised that guys like 12th year CB John Raab and 12th year S David Pplata saw some dip in ratings – this is where it shows up, and they are the right age. But I’m disappointed to see 10th year LB Steven Watkins take a dip also – that hurts us up front. And right on down the line, we lost meaningful points to importanbt players. Very bad news.

On our offense, we head toward training camp with some new questions. One relatively minor one is whether veteran RB Courtney Criswell will make the team at all. We signed him this year thinking he’d be at least our #2 running option, perhaps behind Morimasa. However, a bad minicamp has me wondering if he is worth the investment – if either of our young running backs stap up, they could claim his job and cost Criswell his spot.

And the even bigger question is right at the top, as 15th year QB Hilton Boner has eroded substantially as well – and now his once-firm grip on the starting job is very much in question. For him, he probably has to end up in one of two spots – either our #1 QB and opening day starter, or else out the door. He makes $3m this year, on a contract that had to go next season anyway. Right now, I think it’s a true three-way race to see who starts this year for us, and with a pretty good minicamp, Harry Ross is very much a part of that race.

Incidentally, I also probably will save the team the trouble of signing our 4th round draft pick CB Steven McWilliams, who looks like a clunker. Fifth rounder LB Perry Hoffman will be a tougher decision, as he doesn’t have the affinity we believed he would (too low a personality score?) and without that, brings fairly little to the team. So, it looks like we will uphold our tradition of missing badly with late round picks.

09-06-2005, 07:57 AM

We had a little mishap with the first stages of late free agency (a team submitted enough FA bids to land a hundred players, which is a known bug with the MP game and is against the league rules - but was apparently never actually added to the constitution). So, I have re-written this piece, as my initial reactions were based on outcomes that did not materialize on the second try... more to come...

- - -

Late Free Agency

As we ponder the core to the team, and the number of crumbling veterans making it up, we begin the process of filling in with undrafted rookies. I actually have some enthusiasm about some of these guys – so perhaps we’ll see some good news from our rookie class down here in the depths, to recover from what is now looking like a mostly disappointing draft. (We still have high hopes for S Herman Padgett, though)

Among our early round of “misfit toys” pickups are QB Ernest Biddle, a guy I’d like a lot if he didn’t have a conspicuously low rating in avoiding interceptions. He’s a profile I have had some success with in the past – his real strengths are in the “lower” ratings like reading defenses, accuracy, and sensinng the rush. We’ll keep a close eye – a camp breakout probably means he makes the team and makes things even tougher on old man Hilton Boner.

Safety Jeff McCartney is 216 pounds, probbly too heavy to switch to cornerback, where he might be better suited overall. Great eye for the ball (maxed out int potential, it seems) and he might have some upside. We have some young offensive linemen in the fold as well – we will hope for some promising roster fillers there. We pick up a handful of other youngsters, who we will have to see more closely in training camp to have a final sense. There are only so many slots truly open for competition – but as usual, I am falling in love with a number of these fresh faces, making the final cuts a tougher project than it should be.

More on Herman Padgett and the Chili Dogs Secondary

In anticipation of training camp, I have decided to shift rookie pick Herman Padgett from safety to cornerback. He has pretty good all-around skills, and very high potential in our coverage style, so I think this might be a better long-term spot for him. Adding to my decision is the signing of URFA safety Jeff McCartney, a guy who is just too portly to switch to cornerback. I am pretty confident that McCartney will stick and make the team, and having two guys competing for actiev rosters as our #4 or #5 safties doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.

Assuming Padgett makes the transition pretty well (my scout says he will do so at 89%, not too bad) I think he will probably pull right even with last year’s first round pick CB Billy Joe Scanlon in terms of immediate contribution. With a good training camp (and I expect a good training camp from Padgett) he could even challenge Scanlon for the nickel back job right away. More likely, though, he will be our #4 CB option in an increasingly crowded secondary. But we will certainly keep him active, under the tutelage of Henry Birkland, our position leader and CB mentor.

So, as I contemplate the secondary, I think I see the depth chart looking more or less like this now:

CORNERBACK Yr BnR Int RunD Diag PHit Contract Status

John Raab 12 77/88 16/30 59 43 68 Fairly cheap this year and next
Ferdy Nave 8 67/74 69/73 86 0 40 Big hike next year – reneg tough
Billy Joe Scanlon 2 49/72 44/62 11 39 39 Three years, bonus guarantees stick
Herman Padgett R 59/83 30/39 24 8 61 Three cheap years
Henry Birkland 11 30/38 38/40 12 70 0 Three cheap years

SAFETY Yr BnR Int RunD Diag PHit Contract Status

David Plata 12 61/68 67/70 52 56 92 Three reasonable years, big bonus
Mark Carr 10 92/92 44/44 39 81 61 Four reasonable years
Chappy Kettler 8 50/52 62/63 22 58 39 Three cheap years
Jeff McCartney R 38/63 56/86 2 2 36 One year, RFA after that
Brad Pope 14 56/56 54/64 50 19 31 Two cheap years then small bump

Candidly, there is now position group that is more “set” than our secondary. We have eight or nine guys who are all signed affordably through the next two or three seasons, we are comfortable with our starters and depth there, and we have solid team chemistry at the position with several affinities and no conflicts reported.

Our biggest issue will be experience versus youth. If we are simply playing for right now, we field a starting lineup of Raab-Nave and Plata-Carr, pretty simple. We put Scanlon into the nickelback role, and use Kettler as our top reserve safety. However, that means that guys like Scanlon, Padgett, and McCartney will basically go the season without much experience at all, and therefore won’t develop much. That is essentially our plan for this season, but it’s not inconceivable that we, at some point, decide that the young players need to get some playing time – but that is the toughest issue we have here. We have mentors at both positions, so keeping everyone active is a challenge – right now, my plan is probably to have at least nine, and maybe even eleven, players active from our secondary. That’s getting downright absurd – and certainly puts stress on other position groups (notably WR and maybe the D7).

Late Free Agency, continued, and other musings

We have picked up a few more late free agent rookies – nothing too earth-shattering, but a few guys to fill in (or try to). My current guess is that we will end up carrying two rookie offensive linemen this season, along with the stable of veterans we have on board already. Veterans who already have their slots locked up include: Centers Houtz and Wallace (both likely starters, Wallace perhaps at LG), Guards Cid and Shaffer, Tackles Gourdine, Tilton, and Boyd. The only soft spot there is Shaffer, who looks good by the ratings but did not really stand out last season for us (and does not have an affinity either).

At the moment, rookie center Winston Turnbull made a nice first impression, but he is a run-blocker first and foremost, making him an imperfect fit for our system, all told. He also does not contribute any chemistry bonus, so his short-term value is probably minimal to us – if he has a good camp, he might make a nice trade bait for a modest future pick. LG Marvin Brandon also made a good first impression (his scouted potential jumped 7 points once we signed him) and since we are likely to only have two veteran guards, he might well end up with a spot for us as a reserve pass blocking lineman. I would always love to see a solid rookie tackle, but none have come our way thus far, and the remaining guys we seek are interior linemen, also. Th final stages may add one or two names to the queue here – perhaps another option is to go with only eight linemen for this season, the bare minimum. We can IR-and-replace as need be from the waiver wire.

In other news, we have worked out a new, pretty affordable three year contract extension with 10th year QB Bobby Chesley. He, now, will most definitely make the team. The question remains, though, what our QB heirarchy might look like. Hilton Boner’s stock has very rapidly fallen – and he is in real peril of simply being gone by the start of the year. Chesley right now looks like a better bet if we wanted to go with a veteran starter, and Harry Ross looks like a legitimate challenger for playing time right away – and after an uptick in our minicamps, my scout thinks he might actually be the guy we ought to go with for right now.

Plus, we like rookie Ernest Biddle enough to be pretty sure he will also make the team. Carrying four QBs is stress enough on the roster (same problem I discussed earlier with our depth at DB) and something has got to give. I have posted a futile “trade block” more or less offering up any of our guys, but I exect that we will either end up carrying four QBs, or else sending Hilton Boner packing a year ahead of schedule.

Late Free Agency continues…

In stages 5 and 6 of free agency, there were two final players that I really wanted to land – and had gotten into a bit of a silly bidding war over. Since I have cap space for this year (and under any scenario will continue to), I felt comfortable spending cash this season to try to lock up players on one year deals – who would then become restricted free agents for next season, allowing us to re-sign them without competition.

And so, my fattened one-year offers both work out, and we land two new rookie additions:

TE Vincent Tyler really doesn’t look all that special, but for us, he will be an affinity guy once he is moved over to play fullback. I suspect his skill set will actually be better suited for FB than for TE, actually, so I’m fairly optimistic that he can be a productive player for us. Yes, it’s one more potential body in the mix at the RB/FB group – but I think Tyler might end up being a useful reserve for us, and thinking past old-timer Chadwick Morimasa, he could end up actually getting some on-field time for us down the road if he sticks. If not, he ends up being a one-year cap dent, which is basically ofno consequence to us. Seven other teams had offers in for Tyler – so it’s clear he has some basic skills. We’ll see how he pans out, but I’m optimistic.

On our initial switch from TE to FB, the scout suggests he will translate at an increase – so that sounds great. My scout’s rating (before being processed by the MP engine, which makes things pretty unpredictable) adjusts from 16/48 to 8/32, though, as he is quickly revealed to have practically no actual rushing skills – virtual voids in power rushing ro third down rishing, and also in hole recognition. So – Tyler as a fullback suddenly looks, well, like a tight end (he still can block and catch passes). This makes a real quandary for us here – a player I like, he only gives us an affinity bonus if we move him to FB, but he is pretty clearly a lesser player at FB than at TE. I think I will back off the position switch, and perhaps see if we can get a good training camp out of him at TE.

G Gus Schmit is a young lineman who is the absolutely ideal URFA target for us – he plays a position where I wasn’t sure whether we had enough players to fill in to begin with, has a natural affinity with position leader John Houtz (and a strong enough personality for it to already register), he has the right sort of skills for our offense (skewed a bit toward pass blocking) and registers a pretty solid potential skills rating (my scout currentl rates him at 19/46). Add in the bonus that my scout likes him even more upon his signing (bumping his potential rating by two points with the closer look) and I am now expecting Schmit to make the team this year, even amongst the gaggle of youngsters we have signed in this area.

So, at the moment, we have 66 signed players. Nobody on our roster still unsigned is likely to get a new contract offer, and we have nobody left among the free agent universe that we plan to pursue – so it looks like this is the group that we will head into training camp with.

Pre-Camp Free Agency Update

Despite my pledge that we were “done,” we did grab one more player to bring into training camp. LB Lewis Wiseman is a 5th year guy, our scout rates him as a modest 29/37, and he has only a little playing time experience, mostly last year with Seal Beach, who declined to re-sign him even at minimum salary. What we like is that he is passable in the key things we value – 48/60 in stopping the run, 32/38 in bump coverage, and some ability for special teams. He steps in to compete with a guy like Blake Rice for a backup ILB job – Rice probably has better skills, but Wiseman is an affinity guy for us, and in a backup role, that might matter enough to register on the scales. That probably makes our battles at LB a group of nine guys fighting for seven jobs (maybe eight).

No monumental addition – just a new face to note for the record. He’s on a three year minsal contract with no bonus, so there is no risk for us, and potentially this is a guy we hold onto for a while as a decent, cheap, and positive reserve LB.

Sixty-Player Cutdown Costs Veteran Jobs

Though not surprising, the Chili Dogs list of releases to get down to the 60-player limit for the exhibition season resulted in a few veteran players seeing their final time in a Chili Dog uniform.

S Les Hornick played both cornerback and safety for the Dogs over his five seasons with the team, having been a pick in round 16 of the initial dispersal draft. The 15th year player figured to serve in only a reserve role this season, and became a post-training camp casualty as the team saw a future in players like S Jeff McCartney and CB Herman Padgett. CB Howard Kindred was another casualty from the secondary – a former first round pick, his skills were not well-suited to the team’s new coverage scheme, and he too figured to be only a reserve contributor. Both players are likely to find a chance elsewhere, we expect.

DT William Brown had been a solid reserve lineman playing from the DT position, but was beaten out in camp by new free agent signee Miles Kershner, who will presumably assume the role of run-stopping defensive line reserve.

Among our other cuts were unproven wide receivers Mickey Glover and Riddick Miller, leaving two rookies Dave Worcester and Dennis Rankin competing for presumably the final slot at the position. C Winston Nordstrom and LB Leslie Williamson round out the initial release list.

Preseason Opener

Through a glitch of some sort in my lineup (beats me) we end up seeing our cuts implemented properly, but our active/inactive roster got completely reshuffled contrary to my wishes. We come out of our opener with one major injury – CB Billy Joe Scanlon has suffered a dislocated elbow, and is slated to miss 8 weeks. This will be tough – keeping him active ought to help his development, but putting him onto IR saves one player we’d otherwise have to cut. I expect we will keep him active (or at least on the roster), and get him back when he’s healthy.

We do, however, have a case of the flu going around – and what better time for that could there possibly be? DT Damon Flowers is the only guy who will probably find this as a ticket for the injured reserve list, however. He’s an affinity guy who probably wasn’t going to make the team anyway – now he gets to spend the season with us after all – not too bad.

Trade for de los Santos Up In the Air

Our draft day trade for RB Ralph de los Santos is apparently up in the air, with mixed messages coming from the league administration. Since he remained unsigned and missed his opportunity for initial development in training camp, Chesapeake petitioned to rescind the trade.

As of the latest update, de los Santos has appeared on the Chesapeake roster (and even rushed for a touchdown in the preseason opener) – but the situation has not yet been fully resolved. Stay tuned.

De los Santos Trade Rescinded

Not monumental news, after all, but the trade for RB Ralph de los Santos has been waived, after the sending team failed to sign him in time for training camp, thereby depriving him of his first development opportunity. My best guess is that de los Santos would have been a contender for some carries, but that he was not a clear-cut starter for our team anyway, so the multiple picks return home and we marshall onward without him.

Preseason Notes

Not much to note here – undrafted rookie QB Ernest Biddle looked pretty sharp for us in our game against Annawan, a 14-12 win. I put the appropriate stock in preseason results, which is just next to none.

RB Lewis Lee also got hurt in this game, which raises the possibility of him hitting IR for the season. We may end up finding him that spot, as it’s looking increasingly likely that he won’t make this team.

Not much to report, yet again…

Preseason Complete

We have to make our final cut-downs now – to get to 53 (plus the four we already have on injured reserve). So, the final four casualties are:

RB David Smith – decent guy, but not in our long term plans. This leaves us with only four backs on the roster – RBs Courtney Criswell and Floyd Fraser, and FBs Chadwick Morimasa and Charles Emerson. That’s fine – but if we end up with injuries, we will have to go fishing. We expect to see Criswell and Morimasa splitting the bulk of the carries for the offense.

TE Vincent Tyler – we piad him a $630,000 bonus, but he simply isn’t going to pan out for us, as he can’t unseat Clay Lannon for our reserve TE job, and he didn’t pan out in a possible switch to FB, which was my real motivation with him to begin with.

DE Edgar Welch – A guy I like, but just can’t keep him as a fifth non-affinity DE.

S Brad Pope – Another guy who was a pretty good fit here, but we just can’t see him playing a lot this year, and he’s 14th year guy – need to make room for some of the younger players, notably undrtafted rookie Jeff McCartney, whom we like a good deal.

This means we are carrying six wide receivers, to my surprise. Both rookies Dave Worcester and Dennis Rankin make the team, and ought to help out in the return game at least.

That gets us ready for our opener – we will be sending out Hilton Boner as our starting quarterback, with Harry Ross as the #2 option. I have three guys I can play here, which is a blessing and a curse. We won’t have a quick hook with Boner, but at some point we could see any of these guys starting games.

2008 Season – Week 1

We open our season with a mathup against last year’s division runners-up, Dodge City. They have been a run-first team for a while, but had a fairly active offseason that indicated they might be looking for more balance. I declined to go with an all-out run-stopping defensive approach – thinking that the Vigilantes might be looking to become tougher to gameplan against.

For our Chili Dogs, this is a big early season matchup – about as big as it could be. Dodge City has traditionaly been our top division rival, and if we can’t beat tem at home, it spells bad things for our season ahead. QB Hilton Boner takes the field as our starter, as we look to get off on the good foot here.

Well, the Vigilantes did indeed stick with a run-first and run-most game plan for this game, but we managed to keep them in check anyway. The defense gets high marks here for holding up very nicely, and that really made the difference. Boner was okay for the day, doing a lot of underneath work to the backs and tight end, but our run game was pretty effective behind an offensive line that gave us 8 key run blocks, unusually high for us.

No complaints here – a solid win against a serious rival, that’s the way to start off the new season.

Nice job!

Not the prettiest of games, but a win is a win...

Boner was a bit scary though.. worried he could blow a few games...

Welcome to the Big Leagues, Kid

We have known all along that the offensive line was not going to be a strong suit with this team. We didn’t draft much quality there to begin with, and despite using two late first rond picks on offensive tackles, we are still below average in terms of overall talent on the line. It’s a trade-off.

Our initial setup for the season saw veteran C John Houtz, displaced from his starting role by the addition of an even better veteran C Richard Wallace last season, as our starter at one of the guard positions. However, we have seen a change or two affect the roster since then.

G Joseph Shaffer, last year’s starter at RG, was our opening day starter as well, but has been felled with a serious, probably career-threatening, injury. Also, C John Houtz has been sidelined by an injury, and will be out a few weeks himself. Suddenly, our interior line is in shambles.

Reserve tackle Lenny Boysd is the first obvious candidate for duty – a decent pass blocker and mediocre run blocker, he ought to be okay, and will appreciate the time on field. As for the other open slot – we will head to our list of rookies. Undrafted rookie free agents, even.

G Gus Schmit was an affinity pickup for us, and he made some gains in training camp – so he may be a guy with some future. My scout currently rates him as 24/50 overall – so in the immediate sense, this is not a guy we’re thrilled about sending out to start. But the opportuniy ought to serve him well in his development, and we are practically out of good options anyway. 13th year G James Cid is only rated 36/36, and just barely edges oud Schmit in skill for today – not to mention potential for growth. So, we expect to send out Gus Schmit in week two of the regular season, and we’ll hope that he can hold the fort for us on the inside.

Another rookie guard, Marvin Brandon, will end up playing the role as our top reserve offensive lineman. He, too, has some potential – but right now is behind Schmit in my eyes.

Week 2: Shreveport at Chesapeake

We host Shreveport, managed by FishFan, who scampered away with the Chesapeake playbook last season dugin his time as caretaker, and then stabbed me in the back by snagging the free agent linebacker who would have made my offseason complete. Now, we must make him pay.

Shreveport is a solid team, with a good starting QB in Paul Jennings and a nice rookei receiver for him to throw to. Solid personnel all around – essentially a better team than we are on paper. Roster rating edge of 73-57. They are favored by one point at our place, despite losing their opener.

Once again, we get a win behind a solid defensive effort, and a fairly lackluster showing from the offense. It’s tough to complain about being 2-0, especially when it wasn’t at all clear that this team was going to be all that cmopetitive – but now we have put up two solid wins without really even hitting our stride.

Hilton Boner, it seems, has slipped back to his mistake-prone ways – throwing three picks this game, and keeping our pretty effective offense from really putting this game out of reach. A 75 passer rating on the year – not too far below his career average – just isn’t all that imposing. The overall production – nearly 400 yards of offense – is fine, but we can’t lose the turnover battle and expect to win most of our games.

But our passing defense was very tough once again this week, and that is the only cylinder that is completely clicking for this team. As we work things out, it’s always easier to do so while sitting on a winning record, so we are thankful for that.

Next week we face Hell Creek, another very solid team run by the noble and astute Allosaurus. We’ll be up against yet another superstar QB in Skip Peterson, and another team whose roster outclasses ours by a wide margin – 76 to 60. We will no doubt be underdogs on the road, but will be looking to make our mark once again.

Week 3: Chesapeake at Hell Creek

We are deserved underdogs on the road here, playing against one of the league’s top teams. I decide it’s time to shake things up on offense a bit, as I am convinced that we can’t win with the mistakes and general sluggishness we have seen in the first two weeks. So – we will go now with Harry Ross at QB, presumably the beginning of a new era for this team, assuming things work out well.

We do some tinkering with the gameplan for this week, tailoring the pass selection a bit more to Ross’s liking. He will be using the same basic array of passes that we have been used to with Boneu under center, but has a different array of formations he’s comfortable with. Not too much adjustment necessary. We will, however, also try to give RB Floyd Fraser a few carries – he has decent skills and might be a useful part of our committee approach.

It would be a surprise to win this game, but a pleasant one.

Well, I can’t claim to be all that surprised, really – we put together a decent effort, but Hell Creek is just a better team, and playing them on the road, this is what we had to expect to see.

Harry Ross – we’ll give him passing grades for his Chili Dog debut. 20 of 46 isn’t excatly the efficiency we’d be looking for, but down in the detail we see that he only threw three bad passes out of 46 – he had 9 passes defensed plus 9 hurries and three blocked passes, so a lot of his problems were caused by effective defense in the secondary, a good pass rush, and perhaps a porous offensive line. Tough to pin it on him at all.

Our bigger worry is with our own pass defense – we just could not stop Skip Peterson at all, and that was our real undoing. Essentially, we got about the same output from our offense as we saw in our two openers – we just didn’t stop the other teams this week.

CB Billy Joe Scanlon is nearing full health – we expect to get him back onto the field in perhaps another couple of weeks. For right now, we have rookie Herman padgett out there playing the nickelback role – I think we will stand to improve when we slot Scanlon there, and use Padgett as our dime back and reserve safety.

So – no real surprise this week. A little disappointing to not even be all that close at the end, but Hell Creek is among my short list of favorites to be right there when it’s all over, so no real harm done.

Great showing – clearly our best game of the year. 200 yards on the ground – I can’t even recall the last time we saw a level like that. And Ross was exceptional in the passing game, too, spreading the ball around masterfully well. We really clicked here, great game.

Next game is at 4-1 Portland, and shapes up as a huge early season divisional battle. Portland has gotten their ship straightened out in a hurry, and are suddely right in the picture for the division title which we wish to claim. A loss here puts us two and a half games back – not the best spot to land in. Big game.

Oh, dear. Major malfunctions. Touchdowns on an interception and on a kickoff return. Injured quarterback. It’s just not good news.

Portland stayed on the ground and just pounded this one out – they win the turnover battle 3-0, they run the ball effectively – it’s a bit surprising that it was this close. QB Harry Ross will miss at least a few games, so we have some reshuffling to do – this probably puts Hilton Boner back in the saddle, at leat for now. We also will be without TE Clyde Rego for a few weeks – an important weapon for us underneath. FB Charles Emerson will fill in at the TE slot, but it’s a loss of overall talent regardless.

Disappointing loss, and now we face a bit of an uphill climb. Portland finished last season at 9-7, and showed signs of life – now they are squarely in the driver’s seat in the division race:

Week 8: Duluth (2-3) at Chesapeake (3-2)

This is a good week to get back on the right foot, playing at home against a team we (on paper) overmatch. Duluth has an excellent quarterback, which is always dangerous – but their supporting cast isn’t that strong, and we are favorites here.

We make a game plan shift, dropping to a 3-4 defense, and putting another LB on the field. Hilton Boner is back in at QB for the injured Harry Ross, but that shouldn’t alter our offensive thinking too much.

Oh, good lord. Leading by four with four minutes to go. Doom ensues, of course.

Whose fault is this, though? our running game was just dreadful, and most of our aerial attack was underneath stuff as well – just not a very aggressive offense. We need to capitalize on those red zone oprtunitites, rather than kick four straight field goals, and we win this game fairly easily.

Very bad loss. We drop to 3-3, and are in a very tough spot for this season. In a few short weeks, we have plummeted from the league’s second tier of contenders to a team that has to be wondering whether we need to “blow things up” and start the hell over. We might end up just spinning our wheels this year, grinding out 7 or 8 wins, and just costing ourselves a good draft pick.

Chesapeake (3-3) at Davis (1-5)

Road game, but one we need to win, for obvious reasons. Boner still in at QB, we intend to be on the attack all game long.

RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE

Regrettably, I have no boxscore to post. I neglected to pick up the file right after the “live” sim, and a mid-stage file has since replaced the one that contained the box scores.

It may be for the better, anyway – we once again manage to lose to the dreaded “fourth quarter comeback” and watch our substantial early lead chipped away and eclipsed in the final moments of the game. Two weeks in a row, we fall apart down the stretch and choke away a big game.

Davis 23, Chesapeake 20.

As for this season – I think we’re done. We travel to 6-1 Wheeling next, and they are a far superior team to us. We sit at 3-4 on the year, and while that nominally has us still ion the wild card hunt, our team looks awful and I don’t see much reason to get excited looking forward.

We’ll get Harry Ross back in at QB next week, but he hasn’t made a real difference in the offense. We simply don’t have any real talent at the skill positions, and with our offensive style, that is suicide. Losing WR Mark Jackson took away our best talent at WR, and we have never really had a legitimate threat at RB in this team’s history. The defense is playing pretty well, but certainly not well enough to carry our anemic defense on its back.

Not too promising.

Week 9: Chesapeake (3-4) at Wheeling (6-1)

With our team squarely on its heels, and now on the road against a superior foe – there’s little optimism left for this team this year. I’m not giving up, but whatever flickers of a real playoff run we might have harbored with our good start have all but been extinguished.

And with that, we slip to 3-5 on the year. Lackluster effort overall, and this is clearly just not a very good team. Alas – I knew this to be true, and still went about painting the hull of the ship a nice fresh color, hoping that we’d get a few passengers on board for the cruise.

Week 10: South Carolina (4-4) at Chesapeake (3-5)

South Carolina deliberately tanked last season to get a top draft pick, and then pulled a fascinating stunt to let its starting QB go into free agency, receive multiple FA offers (including a pretty fat one from us, which cooled our ability to pursue other players), only to storm back into the bidding to get him back anyway.

Now, they are back to respectability – and already better than us, it seems.

Oh, well. Now we have slipped to 3-6, and are clearly into the lower tier of the league.

The presence of QB Ernest Biddle in the game is troubling – we have now lost our fairly young and promising QB Harry Ross to injury for the season, and will be counting on Hilton Boner and company to answer the call at QB – Biddle is slotted as our #2 option, he’s a rookie I like for down the road, bt doesn’t have much chance to really help us now, by any reckoning.

Now, we will be focused on maintaining respectability, and perhaps slotting in a few more young players for a look in fgame situations, as we have our focus split between the finish of this disappointing season and what might lie ahead for this team.

Well, we manage to once again pull of a running attack, with smoke and mirrors – as we pound them for 120 yards on the ground. QB Ernest Biddle again sees some time behind center, and is not quite a complete embarassment – but our defense handled this game for us, and kept the Vigilantes offense struggling all day.

At 4-6, what are we to do? We are technically only a game out of the wild card right now – but even if we play well down the stretch, what will that accomplish? We might land awild card, and the practical upside is winning one playoff game. We clearly lack the talent or consistency needed to muster a real threat in this league – and our core of older players is crumbling from within.

It’s as it was expected to be – building with vteran players while others are building through the draft has its downside, and this is it, quite candidly. I think I made a poor choice in doing so with this league (where the pool of veteran players is just of a lower caliber than the game-created players overall) as I am investing in guys who simply aren’t as good as the young players others are developing. The league has passed us by – and looking toward next year, we’re going to have to make some pretty tough decisions on some older players.

So, a win this week, and some hope for down the line. But for right now, it’s just tough to be playing out the string, after making some real investment in this team for right now. There’s only so much we can manufacture from spare parts and game planning – we actually need some talent to make this thing work, after all.

Week 12: Chesapeake (4-6) at South Jersey (6-4)

Well, we come into this week below .500, but still technically alive in the playoff race – at least for now. My more promising young QB is out for the year, our defensive front is in total shambles, and we are playing pretty bad football at this point. Not a great spot, really.

We are playing at South Jersey – a solid team who is also in the playoff hunt – but much more so than we are. We send out Ernest Biddle to start at QB, but will again have Hilton boner ready to taek over if need be.

Well, Biddle played like a rookie, and his two interceptions returned for touchdowns upended a pretty good defensive effort by our group, leading to a tough loss on the road. At 4-7, it looks like the storyline for this season is all but complete.

Adding injury to insult, we have now lost young guard Gus Schmidt for the year to a bolown-out knee. We reshuffle the line setup once again, do the same with our secondary, and will try to field a competitive team for next week – probably with Bobby Chesley taking the reins at QB for now. What we’re doing now clearly isn’t working, and Chesley might give us the best chance to win some games down the stretch. My hopes of seeing some real strides from Ernest Biddle seem to be fading…

That was one ugly game. We were lucky to pull it out.

And one cannot help but be stunned by the choice for game MVP. I know FOF2k4 biases those selections heavily toward QBs, but really, Gus Oliver? 11/20, 110 yds, 0 tds, 0 ints.

Yeesh.

Uh, yeah. About that.

What do we get from QB Ernest Biddle, still trying to prove that he has some shot to be decent for us? Yet another interception returned for a TD (one of four picks on the day), and yet another early exit, yielding to Hilton Boner for yet another futile comeback effort. Just. Awful.

We now head onward, but standing at 4-8, it looks like we are heading for another playoff absence, and a lot of questions ahead.

Nothing to see here. Move along, people.

Week 14: Bar Harbor (9-3) at Chesapeake (4-8)

This one doesn’t shape up too well – Bar Harbor, under cuervo72’s stewardship, seems to have gotten their act together and are looking every bit like a real contender – if not for a very top tier spot as a contender, certainly in the second tier. We, on the other hand, are on a one way ride to shitsville… and it seems we are taking the express.

We are getting 11 points at home in the betting line – and they always say that double digit home dogs are a 70% play – so the wise money is probably on a heartbreaking loss. Though I personally don’t think our club is capable of hanging with much of anyone right now.

So, our defense plays like champs for three and a half quarters, setting us up for the inevitable last-minute drive to give them the win. I can’t really complain – we played a superior foe pretty tough and nearly got this one.

At this point, if the team finishes the game without our cleats tied together and our game pants bunched around our ankles… it’s pretty much a win.

And at 4-9, there now isn’t even a glimmer of hope for resurrecting this season – it just does into history’s dustbin of failed ideas. Or something like that.

CB Herman Padgett is going to b a starter for us the rest of this year, as I think he’s a guy with enough talent to hold down the job long term. We may trot out S Jeff McCartney a bit, too, maybe as our top reserve safety, for similar reasons. If we had some young, promising skill position players I’d be featuring them, too – but alas, we are totally empty in that respect. The chance we have given to young Ernest Biddle seems like a total waste of time (42.3 QB rating over 81 attempts suggests a rare inability) – but with Harry Ross hurt, we’re left without a good option there. Hilton Boner is willing to play, but his contract simply dictates that he be cut before next year anyway.

So, it will be pretty much status quo on offense, and a few new faces working into the defensive rotation.

Next week, we get to visit division-leading Portland. Yay.

A note or two about young QB Ernest Biddle

For the last few weeks, I have been experimenting with our young quarterback Ernest Biddle. Thus far, the results have not been too kind:

57/106 completion = 52.3%
673 yards = 6.28 yards per attempt
2 TD, 8 interceptions
5 sacks for 31 yards
QB passer rating = 46.9

That is, by any account, pretty dreadful. So, why bother with this undrafted stiff?

Well… I have bemoaned for a long time my lack of a promising young quarterback. I have resisted I past rookie drafts the temptation to pick up one of these guys who is rated 12/58 in the draft (the sort who are generally sitting around at the end of round one and into round two), as my own experience with such guys has been pretty tepid (at best).

Biddle has shown me exactly one thing so far… and that’s what has him taking snaps. He is, to me, a (fairly extreme) test of the notion that players “tip their hand” on their future development. In his case – here’s what my scout has said about Biddle at the important stages of his development:

In the post-draft free agency class: 10/42
After we signed him to a minimum deal: 10/44
After training camp: 13/47
Now, after seveal games played: 14/47

My initial attraction to Biddle was grounded in the notion that his secondary skills looked pretty decent – for a pretty low-rated QB, he had decent ratings in things like sense rush (59), read defense (potential 76), and two-minute offense (potential 62). In the past (in solo careers) I have had surprisingly good results form guys like this – and have frequently seen them eventually develop some decent skills in the nominally more important areas (the various pass ratings and things like avoiding interceptions).

So, in essence, my thinking with Biddle is that he might actualy look like a pretty different guy in a few years, especially if he gets some good development. I made some half-hearted efforts to get a QB mentor for him, but candidly for the 4th guy on my depth chart who was a minsal post-draft signee, the investment just didn’t seem worth it. Now, since our team has basically collapsed and the season is all but in the dumper – it seems reasonable to give him some opportunity to play, and we’ll see what happens as next season opens. I think it’s entirely possible that my 10/41 URFA pickup might be, by next year’s draft, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20/50. And at that point… he might have the nominal potential to actually become the best QB on my roster. (Right now, our guys’ potential ratings are as follows: Boner 54, Ross 53, Chesley 48, Biddle 47) – we don’t exactly have an all-star lineup here)

So… why Ernest Biddle? Reason #1 is the lack of meaningful opportuntites elsewhere, particularly with the injured Harry Ross. If he were okay, I’d almost certainly be starting him, and anticipating him in the #1 job for next season and perhaps beyond. But now that he’s out of the picture, and so is our whole team… giving Biddle some extended look doesn’t seem like a terrible investment. He might, just might, be a transformative player for us – a guy we might be able to drag, kicking and screaming, into respectability.

That sounds a great deal like the effect Mrs. Fonzie had on me.

Week 15: Portland (10-3) at Chesapeake (4-9)

Things aren’t going too well here in town – the defense is playing pretty well, but our offense simply isn’t clicking at all. We’ve resigned ourselves to an outsider set for this year’s playoffs, and now or main focus is developing our young players and seeing what we are capable of down the stretch.

Portland has risen pretty rapidly to become the power team in the division, and having them visit has turned quickly from a date we look forward to, to now one we have to dread. Good luck gang.

Well, I’ll be damned. The defense, once again, showed up to play. What a performance there – 3.5 yard per play allowed on the day, and four turnovers, one for a score. Easy call for our 11 (or more) game balls to hand out.

What about Ernest Biddle? His first full game – no quick hook to Hilton Boner to bail him out here. It’s easy to see the thre picks, but I’ll look instead at his 25/38 on the day – completing 65% of his passes is a pretty serious achievement for this kid, so we’ll accentuate the positive. His official stat line fo the day indicates only three “bad throws” by him – the fact that they all seemed to land in Portland hands was an unfortunate circumstance, as he had a better day than usual. Really.

Our use of FB Emerson as our primary running back didn’t really seem to pay off, needless to say. It looks as though he may be with us for the long haul, as his contract demands have dropped out… and he’s installed as our RB position leader. But I don’t see a whole lot of work as featureback in his long term future – all-around decent guy will probably have to do.

A solid win, totally unepected, but it does suggest that perhaps not all is lost. 5-9 isn’t anything to shout about… but it’s not 4-10.

Well, no turnovers in the whole game, our offense didn’t do much, but our defense played well. Actually, let me correct that – to say that our offense “didn’t do much” really gives them a good deal more credit than they deserve. We posted 4.3 yard per play on the day, which despit being slightly better than the 3.6 we allowed, is just pathetic. Our offense is thoroughly flaccid as we wrap up this season, and the fault for this lies nowhere else but right here at the top.

So, we’re shut out by a team who jumps to 3-12 on the year. Nice.

Let’s face facts. This offensive line is a real soft spot. Here are the main stats for them this year:

Looking at our composite nubers from the OL – our per-slot production is about 28% on key run blocks – and that just doesn’t get it done. Our tackles, both first round picks and both guys who have been fully healthy all year long, are just not getting the job done for us in the running game. And neither one of those guys is exactly slanted toward the pass protecion skills, either – they ought to be solid, balanced guys. And both guys are playing at about the level we might expect from a waiver wire pickup.

C Winston Turnbull has played pretty well, as has Lenny Boyd when he’s ben given a chance to get on the field. But there really isn’t any god news here – the line stinks, they have played terribly, and with the marginal skill players we field, we just can’t get anything done. We are averageing 3.62 yards per carry – ranking us 26th in a league of 32. That’s a disgrace, especially for a team that passes a lot, and ought to have defenses softening up against the run so this is actually worse than it seems – there probably aren’t five teams who run the ball less effectivey than we do.

Oh, and as if we didn’t have enough bad news to round out this stinker… we have usffered a serious injury to DT Eugene Bradham, arguably our best player on the whole team. The run-stopping lineman has suffered “repetetive concussion syndrome” and is listed as out. For, uh, 88 weeks. We’ll have to do a stats elegy soon, as we probably won’t see him back on the field again.

When it rains, it fucking pours, eh?

Week 17: The End is Near

We now play South Carolina, a hearty and well-prepared band of merry men, whose reactions have been honed by the finest preparatory schemes, and whose bellies are full with the tasts of blood form fallen rivals. The Crossfire have, indeed, turned themselves around with a most improbable reversal of fortune – ascending almost immediately from the lower depths of the league to a far, far more respectable turnout this season – clearly a tribute to the clever and enterprising skills of their owner, the inestimable and oft-banned sjshaw. A win at home this week gives them a respectable 8-8 finish… and who better to be hosting than the lowly Chili Dogs?

So, as for the game:

Well, I must say I didn’t think we were capable of posting 24 points, even if the Crossfire traveled to the wrong staium for the day. So, we’ll take that.

QB Ernest Biddle once again manages to throw an interception for a TD – I lost count a while back but I’m thinking he might have twice as many TDs to the opposing team than he has to ours. Just dreadful. Horrifyingly enough, I still think he might end up being our long term guy there.

And with that, we close the book on a dreadful and disappointing season. Here is the team summary for the year – you may choose to avert your eyes, I will understand.

Is there any saving grace to be taken from all this? Well, it seems that there really is not. We tried to build a team based on “good vibrations” to make up for ou lack of “good players” and in the end, that really didn’t work for us. QB Hliton Boner quickly jumped the shark, and withough a few key players who retired (or limped away) in the offseason, we just didn’t have enough to really be competitive. I suppose if I had done a better job with this particular roster, we might have won a couple more games, but really I don’t think we were cut out for a top spot this year. So it goes.

This is a team in dire need of help on offense, where we simply can’t get anything accomplished. We can’t run, we can’t pass, and we can’t keep this up, or else we’ll be relegated to the Primetime football league in another season or two.

It appears that we will be picking somewhere between #7 and #10 this year – our first shot at a high draft pick. We have to hope to land an impact player there, and that we can start to have a player to rally around a little bit.

To be more fair, I ought to be giving some credit for this effort. While our offense really dissolved as we got into the season this year, the defense played very well most of the way. Getting our opponents held to only 3.6 yards per carry is very solid, and the pass defense on balance was good as well. We didn’t cause a ton of turnovers, but we put together a pretty stout defense this season – that, overall, has to be the real team highlight.

Losing DT Eugene Bradham is going to really hurt, as he was the centerpiece of our run defense this year (and historically). Whe he has played well, we have been at our best. Now, it looks like he’s probably done prematurely – so we will have issues to contend with there. Nobody on the roster really stands out as a legitimate replacement for him, so we may be forced into some reshuffling.

Hey Quick, I say keep it going. I personally don't have FOF, but it is dynasties like this one that make me want to get it (I've gotten too many things right now so not feasable to get FOF, plus waiting to see if ne version comes out).
I like the detail you are putting into this dynasty. I'm looking forward to seeing your strategy to get your team back on the winning track.
Side Note: This is one of the best FOF dynasties I've read and that has been kept up.
I like reading about your team and your strategies.

Roster Review, End of 2008

I thought it would be timely to start thinking about where we’re heading next year. So, I’m going to do a position-by-position walk through of our current team, and give some thoughts on who ought to still be here when we suit up for the opener next season.

I’m going to try to put together a bunch of information on all our players, to try to give a fair snapshot of the team we had this year and who really contributed.

Player # Ps Ex CE/FE K 09Cap Aff -----2008 Stat Summary----- Verdict
Boner, Hilton 7 QB 15 48 54 2 18000 55.9% 6.21ypa 10/9 PR=73.1 Must go
Chesley, Bobby 9 QB 10 48 48 3 2210 no action
**Ross, Harry 2 QB 5 46 53 3 2500 ++ 58.2% 6.31ypa 5/6 PR=71.1 Starter
Biddle, Ernest 5 QB 1 15 47 1 ---- 54.7% 6.25ypa 4/13 PR=54.4 Unknown

Well, the meltdown at QB was pretty obvious all season long, with Hilton Boner suffering a late-career drop in ratings, which I now believe was the foretelling of a dropoff in production as well. Harry Ross disn’t really light things up, either – our offense was pretty vanilla with him, but if he does return fully healthy next season, I think he is our starter by default. Ernest Biddle got every chance, probably more than he deserves, and head into next year with no contract and on thin ice. If he makes a bump up at some point, we will probably re-sign him… but we’ll need to see something.

This will be an obvious target area for next year – we could get by with Ross/Chesley as our top options, but I think it will be hard to really win in this league with quarterbacks who are truly that limited.

Player # Ps Ex CE/FE K 09Cap Aff -----2008 Stat Summary----- Verdict

Morimasa, Chadwick 41 FB 14 56 58 1 --- 91-401 4.40ypc 2TD 348rec Unknown

Ah, the running game – probably the worst in the whole league.

Morimasa’s numbers look okay, but he is clearly on the decline -it’s tough to build the running atack around a fullback who is in his 14th year and whose ratings are in free fall. It’s possible he’s back, but we won’t guarantee a new deal for him now.

Is there anyone among this lot who could actually claim the starting job for us for next year? I supopise Floyd Fraser might have some shot, but that’s really only if we completely strike out in the draft and in free agency. Ideally, we’ll pick up a more promising young back somewhere along the way, and try to get something done with a new guy or two.

FB Emerson doesn’t exactly rally the troops all that much anyway, so it may be appropriate to find a new position leadr for this group. Could be much upheaval ahead.

Player # Ps Ex CE/FE K 09Cap Aff -----2008 Stat Summary----- Verdict
Rego, Clyde 88 TE 11 52 57 3 1040 + 65-612 1TD T%=22.7 RE= 5.6 Starter
Lannon, Clay 82 TE 5 26 34 3 650 ++ 17-138 2TD T%=15.9 RE= 6.5 Backup

The RE rating above is my home-grown number for Receiver Efficiency, trying to consolidate all the receiving stats into one rating. The formula is pretty simple:

Calculated REff=(receiving yards + 20/TD – 10/drop) / targets

…and it’s intended to more or less come out with a “yards gained on an average play where this receiver is targeted” (with obvious tweaks for TDs and drops).

In any event – I am comfortable with this pair here, and we put the TE back into our main offensive sets this year. I don’t know whether that may have been counter productive to do – Rego became a prime target, but the REff suggests that we wasted our time on a lot of those plays to him.

Player # Ps Ex CE/FE K 09Cap Aff -----2008 Stat Summary----- Verdict
Berkey, Justin 81 FL 10 42 48 4 2850 ++ 72-1010 4TD T%=29.7 RE= 7.8 Starter

Worcester, Dave 85 SE 1 14 27 3 430 ++ 3-28 0TD T%=16.1 RE= 4.6

So, on a pass-happyteam, we really don’t have any serious playmakers in the air game, especially now that Mark Jackson is gone. I can’t really fault Justin Berkey – he is a decent enough starter, but he’s not exactly light-it-up material, either. With the cripled passing game, nobody really posted big numbers anyhow.

Marcus Meneses probably gets a shot at free agency – he wants a $3m signing bonus, and I don’t see him being all that special, really. I will make an effort to re-sign Jimmy Castellano, despite his low rating in route running (note the low T%), and will pursue Joey Newbury as our position leader. (Newbury was originally signed to a multi year deal, but the AI cut him one week when I failed to submit my file and had an illegal roster – my fault, but it screwed us up there)

Work to do here – Worcester is not the prospect I had hoped for, and there’s nobody here who really fits into a future-looking approach. Time to make a move – we just need better players here. That refrain is getting tired, I know.

Well, my thinking was to try to patch together a decent-enough line this year out of the spare parts I could get my hands onto, and striong it between my two solid tackles, who have both developed into pretty respectable players. What did we get? Well, both tackles had thoroughly mediocre seasons (nearly equal to one another in their pedestrian stats) and clearly neither one has definitely earnmed a fat extansion payday. Trouble is, I don’t like the notion of heading into next season with only one tackle on the team (and a pretty weak one at that, in Boyd). So – I’m making overtures to Stanley Tilton, and trying to lock him up if we can. I wil probably make an effort to have one of these guys re-signed for next year, but unless the price is pretty modest, probably not both of them.

As for the interior – well, nobody really played well at all. G Gus Schmit looks like he’s good enough to really get a look at a starting job (speaking of his scouted ratings, not his rookie year production above, which was shaky at best) and C Winston Turnbull played well in limited action too. Do those guys get starting jobs for next year? If we release C Wallace (fairly likely) then we’ll have to get by with guys like those, I suspect. Same old refrain – we really need some help here.

Well, we simply must re-sign Alvin Hall, we can’t afford to let him go. We’ll try to work something out, but using the franchise tag is a possible option as well. With the loss of Bradham, it looks to me like we probably need to make a stab at a new deal with DE Buxton as well. We’ve gotten our cheap years out of him – now, if we let him go, we end up with just a gaping hole on our defensive line. Actually, I think we’ll have that anyway, even if we end up with a guy like Kleinsasser as a starter for us. The best situation going forard is probably that we switch to the 3-4 front, and we sign Buston to have him step into the NT slot and start there for us.

Coming into the season, I was feeling okay about this position group, really – we had three excellent starters in Bradham, Hall, and Buxton, and pretty decent situational guys as reserves in Kleinsasser (fairly balanced), Kershner (run stopper), and Santos (pass rusher). Now, we have Bradham gone, and both Hall and Buxton looking for fat new contracts. If we bring back anything much here next year, it will be for a pretty penny, and at best we will have two solid starters to work with.

This position is fairly settled, at least on top. We have three guys in Watkins, Galvan, and Kuykendall who ought to be solid for us – if we play a 3-4, we’ll use Kuykendall (a solid run stopper) as an ILB along with Watkins. I don’t think we have anything too noteworthy in our reserves – Shepard is a so-so reserve guy who played okay at the WLB slot for a while this year, and Harrold is a pass rusher who never accomplished much.

Nothing much to see here – DJ Dennis is a special teamer who could probably log a little time in the pass rush for us if need be, but he’s basically just a solid reserve and a great special teamer for us.

Our defense was pretty good this season, and having three solid linebackers (who stayed healthy all year) was a prety big part of that. Getting one more solid guy would eb nice – but if we come back with essentially this same group next season, that wouldn’t be awful, either. Finally a position where we’re not in complete disarray.

And now, to what has quickly become our overall strength. We have four solid veteran players who are all quality starters here – CBs Raab and Nave are solid for our scheme and play well, while safeties Plata and Carr are both very strong starters behind them. Very good to start with.

Thing is, if there’s one position group where we are fairly well poised to be loking to the future, this is it. Rookie Herman Padgett showed immediate promise for us, and is really ready to be a starter next year if we want him to be. Billy Joe Scanlon is developing pretty well, and is also ready to be a full time player in his upcoming third season. And rookie Jeff McCartney also looks like a guy with some real promise – and sitting him might be frittering away a potential starter there, too.

So, what to do? Hard to say. If we could get some value for a guy like Raab (13th year next season) or perhaps Plata (also 13th year), then it might be wise to do so. We’d take a cap hit from dealing Plata, but he’s an excellent player, who has a few good years in him, I’m sure. This league has not been a real trading hotbed… but surelu someone would be willing to do a deal for a guy like Plata, who has excellent all-around skills and would be well under market (as we’d be eating his substantial signing bonus).

So – the “verdict” column here is pretty empty, as I don’t kno what we’ll be fielding next year. I think I’m committed enough to Herman Padgett to insist that he starts… past that, anything could happen.

Overall, where are we?

Right now, here are the players that I envision being part of a “core” of this team going forward – players I expect to be with us next year and for the next several seasons beyon, in whatever capacity (and in what season they will be next year):

QB Harry Ross, 6
FB Charles Emerson, 5
C Winston Turnbull, 2
C Wendell Lambeau, 2
G Gus Schmit, 2
G Marvin Brandon, 2
T Stanley Tilton, 5
T Lenny Boyd, 4
DE Alvin Hall, 9
DE Cornelius Kleinsasser, 7
LB John Galvan, 8
LB Travi Kuykendall, 4
CB Herman Padgett, 2
CB Billy Joe Scanlon, 3
S Jeff McCartney, 2

That is not exactly an airtight list, and there are several guys here who might never develop even into starting-caliber players (OL in particular) – but it’s a start. I feel like it’s our main objective now to develop our offensive skill positions as best we can here – by attracting some free agent players, or else landing a few promising veterans. We could end up in a number of different spots with that – pursuing a high quality young QB would be one option, or a RB would be another (probably sending our offense in a different direction). We have some guys to work with… but more holes than I’d really prefer to see.

Renegotiation Update

We managed to get one new deal done with our veteran players – WR Jimmy Castellano.

Catellano is a natural split end (the only one on the team who naturally plays there) and has pretty solid ratings in the 40-75 ratings in nearly every key area, all except for “route running.” Which means that we’d expect him to be exactly what he is – productive when the ball comes his way, which isn’t all that often. In his two years of meaningful playing time with us, he has 1328 yards and 6 TDs – mediocre for a starting receiver, but not so bad. He also has a strong affinity with WR Jimmy Newbury, our position leader, and the deal is pretty affordable – only $1.5 million a year each season.

On balance, I’m pleased with the deal – we need to get better at WR anyway, but Castellano is a guy I don’t mind keeping around.

By the way - who the heck is reading all this?
*raises hand*

Still worth it to keep going with the dynasty thread into next offseason and beyond? I don't have particularly high expectations for the team right away - we may be doing more rebuilding than reloading... but I honestly don't really undertand the appeal of a thread like this detailing the struggles of a team that moves so slowly, and where the successes are few and far between. I am prone to dropping my dynasty threads (or, more accurately, the teams on which they are based) once I start to get bored... here, I'm a little bored with the dynasty thread, as posting about loss after loss isn't too interesting to me... but I'm sticking with the team in any event.
It's worth it to me, as I enjoy reading your dynasties regardless of the topic. I especially enjoy this one, as I am now a participant in the FOFL and I can connect with your dynasty in a more real way.

Keep going? Who cares? Less detail? More detail? More cheapshots at my fellow FOFL owners? Anything that would make this flow better, and get me more motivated to do a real write-up?
I say keep going as long as you're still enjoying it. And by all means please throw more cheap shots at your fellow FOFL owners.

Seriously, I think the level of detail is just right.

I'm open to thoughts, suggestions, criticisms... now seems like a good time for all that stuff. None for now, but I'll think on it. Great work as usual, Quik!

Renegotiations, continued

Not much news from Chesapeake this time of year, as we are watching the playoffs from the outside.

We did, however, work out a few more long term deals with centerpiece players:

LB Travis Kuykendall signed a new deal for four more seasons, which is good for us. This year is his first one with solid, full-time caliber numbers, so his demands will certainly escalate next season. Here, we lock him up with a top cap number of just over $3m at the end of the deal – solid extension for us.

Also, LT Stanley Tilton accepted one of my offers, finally, and will be with us for a while as well. He hasn’t had a stellar career, but his ratings suggest he ought to be a very solid left tackle for us, and locking him up (also for four more seasons) eliminates that position from my “to do” list for the offseason. He’ll be a bit pricey, but a solid LT is probably worth it. Now, if he can only live up to his ratings, he will be a solid guy.

A couple lower-profile guys have re-upped as well. DE Cornelius Kleinsasser has accepted a three year deal at a much more affordable level than his current contract, which is very god for us. Looking ahead, he might see an expanded role with our club – he’s been with us since the league’s inception, but has been pretty much a reserve (his 12 tackles this season are a career high). With ratings of 57 in run defense and 46/54 in pass rush technice, he could end up playing a meaningful role in our soon-to-be-depleted defensive front next season – and will do so on a shoestring contract now.

Also, RB Lewis Lee has taken a new deal. This basically just gives us the option ot retaining the verstatile return man, rather than battling over him in free agency. In his career with us (before spending this entire season on IR), he has averaged 8.4 yards per punt return, and 25.2 yards per kickoff return.

In the league’s conference championships, we’ll see Calverton head to Hell Creek to tangle with the mighty Raptors. Meanwhile, the planets have aligned for former champions Mars and Jupiter to square off for the other championship berth.

Big Late Personnel moves for Chili Dogs

In the waning stages of the season, Chesapeake has made personnel moves expected to have a sizable impact on the years ahead.

QB Hilton Boner has been released, after six seasons with the Chili Dogs. He started in 78 games, and leaves with solid career stats: 21,619 passing rards, 130 touchdowns, and a championship ring and MVP award from the title game in 2005. His story with the Chili Dogs is well-documented, secured as an “insurance policy” for starter Oscar Ozuna, he stepped in and rescued the team’s initial season after Ozuna struggled. From that point on, it was Boner’s team, and he led the offense to some effective seasons among the league’s passing leaders.

Releasing Boner was inevitable – doing it this year rather than next spreads the cap hit of his remaiing (unaffordable) contract better for us, so we had to make the move now. It also freed up needed cap space for more contract extensions.

With the cap space we have on hand, and a commitment onward, we secure new deals with defensive ends Alvin Hall and Richard Buxton. If I had my druthers, these two would have shared a co-MVP award for our 2005 title run, as it was our defense that really carried us through the postseason in particular. Several he plays by these two secured the win in the championship game, and while the MVPO award typicaly just goes to the winning quarterback, I would have preferred to see a sort of Randy White and Harvey Martin deal here to recognize the true most valuable players.

Hall remains a very productive player, actually getting better as he matures, and posted a robust 7.7 PRPct this year – and has 28 sacks in the last two seasons. Hal locks up a multi-year deal that will see him earn nearly $10 million a year – but letting him go and be exposed to the open market just seemed absurd to do. Buxton is in his twilight, but we ink him for another season where he will earn just ovr $8 million – which gives us flexibility to either use him (probably as our starting nose tackle in a 3-4) or else possible deal him away (a top-grade DE at a $4m base salary has to be an attractive addition to a team preparing for a serious run).

We make a few more signings, mostly picking up players who might be able to stick around as fringe contributors for next year. This worked last year – we got at least one player with a late FA claim who made this year’s roster – so it’s a no-risk venture worth taking, I think.

Salutes to Boner for his Chili Dog career, and a number of moves that clerly foretell the direction of this franchise.

Post-Season Wrap-up and Accolades

In the league title game, Mars defeats Hell Creek 20-6, in a repeat of last year’s final. Congratulations go out to both teams.

After such a lousy season, we don’t expect much in terms of laurels, but we do have one Chili Dog who received first team all-pro honors for an outstanding season. DE Alvin Hall makes his second straight all-pro team this year, with 56+27 tackles and 13.5 sacks – very solid numbers for a defensive end.

He’s an outstanding player, just signed to a new long-term deal, and still young enough to be part of our long term planning. We’ll catch Alvin Hall and the gang on the flip side, as we turn the page to 2009.

The 2009 Offseason Begins

The first announcements of any season are, of course, the retirements. With several older players on the possible list, I’m watching anxiously…

FB Chadwick Morimasa – in his twilight anyway, we didn’t re-sign him, though we’d have give it some thought. He hangs them up after a prolific career as an all-purpose back and former league MVP.

DE Richard Buxton – this one just kills us, I worked out a new deal with him for this year, only to see him walk anyway and force us to eat some $4m in cap space. Ouch – serious loss.

We have another serious problem on our hands, too. RG Joseph Shaffer blew out a knee last year, and spent the season on IR. Shame, but that’s life. He still sits on our roster, and he’s listed as out for 29 weeks. Trouble is, since he is hurt, we cannot release him – and this is the “baloon” year in his contract, meaning that he’s going to hit us for $2.9 million in cap space this season, while he contributes nothing )not even affinity). Ouch.

So, as we head into the season, here is our salary situation:

FOFL Offseason underway

After a somewhat extended time off, we finally have some league activity to report.

First, Chesapeake has hired a new Defensive Coorindator in Monty Byrne. He is new to the coachign ranks, but signed a very affordable deal and ought to be solid for us – good with linebackers and defensive backs, very good with young talent and kickers, and excellent with defensive linemen. An improvement for us, at a bargain price.

Now, in preparation for the free agency period ahead, we have made a few pre-emptive renegotiations. CB John Raab has agreed to a very affordable extension, probably moving him from the “must trade” list to the “we could definitely keep this guy” list. Even if we deal him, a cheap contract makes him far more attractive for a prospective buyer.

QB Harry Ross worked out a pretty affordable extension, and injured G Joseph Shaffer has dropped his salary in exchange for some guaranteed bonus money – we get some relief there.

Soon, we will be underway with the free agenyc period. Big stuff awaits, as we try to chart the team’s immediate and long term course. There do not appear to be any real impact players at the skill positions, unfortunately – though no surprise there.

11-22-2005, 05:04 AM

Free Agent Flurry

Well, in pretty short order, we have made a number of meaningful changes to our roster – the first free agency stage has been run, and we have four new Chili Dogs to announce.

RB Bill Briner is easily the biggest news, as he comes aboard from Myrtle Beach, where he has been their featured back for six seasons. He has 6,713 yards in that span, on about 4.2 yards per carry, and immediately becomes the leading candidate to take over for us as our starting RB – he has pretty solid ratings, especially as a fairly no-nonsense straight-ahead running back. by the scouting reports, he will be the best ball carrier we have had on this team in our history. His deal is for $2 million a year, and not too bonus-heavy.

Briner also becomes our group leader at the RB group, where he already has an affinity with FB Charles Emerson and veteran RB Courtney Criswell. No chemistry with reserves Lewis Lee and Floyd Fraser might put their job security in some jeopardy here.

CB Victor Winters is a nice pickup for us, as he will join up with our existing corps of DBs and can play some of our preferred coverage. He also has solid skills as a
kick returner, and can return punts as well – an area where we were a bit lacking last season. He quickly fits in with a positional affinity – and this looks good as well. A 5th year player with starting experience from Annawan, this is a nice cheap signing for us.

WR Danny Napiecek is a decent enough young receiver, formally a split end (our weak slot) and a decent reserve-quality player. The 3rd year player has 1,120 yards receiving in his first two years, and signed with us cheaply after being released by Norwich.

LG Bobby Saladino is a guy we have seen plowing holes as a run blocker for Austin in recent years, and we sign him to come aboar for us in the LG/RG rotation. My best guess is that we will start the coming year with Saladino at LG, and young Gus Schmit at RG. Saladino is a pretty solid run blocker (54/62 by my scout, and over 30% KRBs for his career) but his balance makes him a worthwhile addition – plus, he’s an affinity addition with leader John Houtz.

I did, however, make one tactical error – we didn’t immediately offer WR Joey Newbury a new contract, and he has been signed away. Last year, we locked up Newbury to a three year deal, making him our affinity centerpiece at the WR/TE group. However, midyear he was released by the AI when I missed an export – so we had to re-sign him for a minsal one year deal. Now, he has signed (somewhat inexplicably, to me) with Luna City, and has become their position leader – giving them no affinities and one conflict. He’s not the most skiled player (got almost no playing time with us last year) so that’s a bit of a surprise to see – I really though I could wait him out and get him cheaply later.

T Derek Gourdine has also been signed away, to no real surprise. I put in a halfhearted offer to him, but he also signs up with Luna City. Maybe someone needs to get word to Luna City management that pursuing Chesapeake players, following our glistening 5-11 season, may not exactly be a recommended route for success in this league. Gourdine has nice apparent ratings, but not much of a track record as a standout, at least for us.

Big Trade in Chesapeake

With our team’s sights set on the future, we have dealt safety David Plata to Toronto. We worked out a new deal with Plata first, ensuring that they get him on a substantially under-market contract, but boosting the cap hit that we absorb in the deal. However, the compensation for doing so seems very worthwhile:

TOR receives:
S David Plata
CHE 4th round pick in 2010

CHE receives:
1(11)
2(11)
TOR 1st round pick in 2010

Acquiring a second solid pick in this year’s draft will likely give us a chance to make an even larger investment in our franchise’s future right now – either by landing two solid contributors with those picks, or else by using that draft equity to move up and secure an impact player at the top of the draft.

If there was any real doubt about our commitment to the future, this deal certainly ought to dispel it. We suffer some cap penalty this year and next, but ought to come out of this with some exciting young players.

Trade Update – The Other Shoe Drops Quickly

Following the trade of S David Plata, Chesapeake has quickly dealth the 1(11) selection, the cornerstone of that trade, along with our own top pick at 1(8), to trade up into the top spot in the draft. Here are the details of this monumental deal:

Seal Beach receives:

1(8)
1(11)
3(8)
4(8)
5(8)
6(8)
7(8)
2011 CHE 1st

Chesapeake receives:

1(1)

Readers of this thread are certainly familiar with Chesapeake’s longing for a franchise quarterback. Picking at #8 was certainly not going to yield such a guy – but this draft includes young Brent Sedor, who has the apparent potential to be a top-tier, multi-dimensional star player. For those who care about such things, he stands out as the comfortable #1 in every single combine section – with raw ratings as follows:

4.42 seconds in the 40 yard dash (4.57 is second best)
48 score on the Solecismic test (42)
25 reps on the weight room test (20)
6.93 seconds in the agility drill (7.31)

My scout (good with QB, very good with young talent) grades him at 22/87, with maxed out potential (and a zone of about 73-100) in nearly every category. He’s got a ding in medium range passes (zone looks like 54-81 or so) and a near void in accuracy – but other than that, he has it all. We fuly expect a mobile downfield passer with a very high ceiling. Not a star right away, but certainly the potential to get there.

So, we make the moves necessary to lock up the rookie from Cornell, of all places, as our top pick in this draft and our centerpiece for the team rebuilding.

Free Agent Signing Solidifes Receiving Corps

Amidst Chesapeake’s major trade activity, another meaningful subplot has unfolded. Our search for a new team leader for the receiving position group has yielded us TE Joel Connell. Connell will join and become, presumably, our third option at TE and a possible special teams contributor – but more importantly, he steps in as the lynchpin for our WR/ET group chemistry. As of this writing, each and every signed player on the roster has an affinity with Connell, and several are strong. That’s how this group was built, and Connell replaces Joey Newbury in the centerpiece role quite nicely.

However, we have some disappointing news on the same front, as veteran WR Marcus Meneses has signed with Shreveport, and will be the second of our initial three receiving targets to depart. Mark Jackson started out as our #1 weapon, but injuries forced a premature retirement last season. Marcus Meneses, along with stalwart Justin Berkey, remained last season to anchor the passing attack amidst QB turmoil. But, Meneses leaves us now for a better contract in Shreveport – with 4,458 yards and 23 TD under his belt for us. We are not shocked, but are slightly disappointed to see him go.

We still have a number of free agent bids remaining “out there” at this point, and we currently have about $5.2 million to offer in a player contract, with another $5 million or so occupied by our expected draft picks.

Wow. Just, wow. I'd love to know what Toronto was thinking there. David Plata seems like a fine player, but two #1s and a #2 for a 13-year, good-but-not great safety and a 4th rounder?

Wow. Unless there's something I'm not seeing here, this was an extraordinarily bad trade by Toronto.

Well, that seems to be the conseusus... but I think people are seriously overlooking the salary cap situation involved. He's not just getting a star-caliber player, he's getting a star-caliber player at far below market price for the duration of the four year deal. I gave Plata a healthy signing bonus when I signed him last year, and then (as a condition of this trade) I renegotiated him this season before the trade -- so he will cost Toronto less then $2m in each season of his four year contract.

I still like my side of things, but there is an awful lot of value on having an impact player signed long term for well below his value (as long as he doesn't hold out). I took about $8m in cap hit to swing the final deal -- so while the draft picks are nice, this practically speaking costs me a quality player or two in cap space this year and next.

Free Agency Drags On…

After the first few weeks, the process seems to slow down… it’s a sort of time dilation we experience, rather like sliding into a black hole. Yes, things are happening, but the apparent pace of them seems, to any observer, to slow considerably. Our team, obviously, has already made its big offseason moves with our trades and top draft pick – so now we wait to see if we can spend the balance of our cap space in a useful fashion, and fill up the roster for a peculiar season ahead.

So, after another FA stage…

We are rebuffed by an intriguing running back with return skills, Shane Walsh, who signs with division rival Dodge City instead. He’s cut from the same general mold as our current guy Lewis Lee, and might have replaced him on the roster. But no dice – and no great loss.

We also, predictably, miss out on RT Roger Bly – a solid player who inked a good $2m/yr contract with Portland. He would have probably become our starter, and would have had an affinity with John Houtz, our leader – but the price tag got a little higher than our offer. Bly has yet to demonstrate he’s really that solid against the pass, so this might have been a good one to miss out on anyway.

Young receiver Rob Hammond signs with Toronto on a surprisingly rich offer. We were interested due to his standout kick return skills, but wonder whether he can be effective as a wideout. Hammond gets $3 million for a two year deal – again, out of my price range.

We are still in the bidding for a solid linebacker Maurice Huntley, but it’s getting clear that this is getting away from us as well. Huntley looks like a pretty decent player to me, and was apparently used pretty heavily by his previous team Hudson Valley (250 solo tackles in 3 seasons there), but I don’t see him as a real star player – he’d become the fourth best linebacker on our team, I believe. Solid guy to approach for an affordable deal, but now that the offers are approaching $12 million, I suspect we are about to drop from the serious running.

So, basically no news is bad news – we lose out on several players we have targeted, and others are falling far out of reach. While I don’t think acquiring veteran players is all that crucial to a team in 100% rebuilding mode… it’s not entirely clear to me that we are in that exact stage. We’ll have to see what QB Sedor looks like emerging from camp, but it’s certainly possible that we go with Harry Ross to start the season, and hope that some stability along the OL and the addition of a guy like RB Bill Briner give us a little bit of real hope for the offense to take a step forward this year. Our defense will likely struggle a bit (we can’t possibly be as good against the run as we have become accustomed to, with the loss of Buxton and Bradham from the DL) but it’s possible that we are a fairly competitive team this season.

Free Agent Update

We lost another of our free agent targets, when S Earnest Dunn signed with the always malevolent Washington Piledrivers, piloted by Subby. Dunn was a solid run-stopping safety with decent bump skills, and would have made a solid #3 option for us at safety (or even as a reserve LB) but Washington upped the ante with a $3m signing bonus, and locked him up. He’s a 7th year guy, it’s not like he was “the future” but I did think we had a shot to land him with the fairly respectable deal we had on the table.

We did make one minor move, locking up WR Jake Madison for a second season. Madison was a decent utility reserve wideout for us last year, has an affinity with our position leader, and can return punts – pretty valuable guy to have around in the bullpen.

Draft Update – Round Two

As the FOFL draft lumbers along, we have reached our two remaining picks in round two, and have a couple transactions to announce.

S Malcolm Rabens is a potential solid run defender and cover man to add to our secondary. He’s not a combine standout, but has skills that match our main targets pretty well, and my scout rates him as a 22/58 prospect. We’ll hope to bring him along in special teams an in reserve duty, and hope he develops well into a contributor in our recently-depleted secondary.

Our remaining second round pick has been dealt away to Mars. For the 2(11) pick, we obtain a trio of picks – this year’s picks at 2(32) and 4(32) as well as their third round pick next season. Stay tuned…

Free Agency Yields Veteran Quarterback

Our carousel of free agency has made another round, and we have an update.

11th year QB Rodney Beach joins us, and probably joins the battle with Bobby Chesley for the third slot on the roster. Why bother? Well, Beach is a pretty affable guy, and he will act as a mentor to our new younr QB project, Brent Sedor – there’s the angle. I don’t expect to see beach getting any playing time, but he will give us flexibility – Sedor ought to develop with him around, even if we opt to let Harry play through the whole season.

We lost out on two more players we had halfheartedly targeted, a solid veteran FB and a decent wide receiver. Both get contracts that are a bit healthier than I’d have imagined – so no great loss that we missed out, and neither was exactly a spring chicken type of guy anyway.

Progress Marches On… Draft and FA Update

After trading down to the bottom of round two, we still managed to pick up a player we like at 2(32), with safety Doug Schwantz. He’s got decent skills, had a good combine, and we hope to see him make improvements to become part of our long term planning here. DB wasn’t exactly our top need, but Schwants was 2nd or 3rd on my list of target players (set in advance) so I’m pretty pleased that we watched 20 guys go off the board and only one or two were higher than him on our list. Solid addition, plus he’s from Syracuse – another bonus.

I will probably struggle with him, like I did with last year’s comparable pick Herman Padgett, whether to slot him at safety or CB for the long haul. We ended up moving Padgett to play at LCB, which I think was ultimately the right move… but on paper, I think Schwantz is better suited to play CB as well-- his run defense rating might only be around 35), but his coverage and interception skills look very solid. Right now, we need a safety more than a corner, so we’ll have to weight this puzzler. Schwantz weighs in at 220 pounds, which might make the decision for me anyway—my scout suggests that he’d transition to CB at only 83%, which isn’t awful, but not ideal.

In free agency, the news is pretty grim. We had been in the hunt for a couple of linebackers, and managed to be outbid on both of them. So it goes, we ran into this last season. On a team that is nominally looking toward the future, this is probably what we ought to expect – we really shouldn’t be the top money bidders for long term FA contracts with players who are already in the middle of their careers, we ought to be developing from within best we can. Alas.

So, we add veteran linebackers Maurice Huntley (best overall LB out there, but signed for a deal worth more than $4m per season) and Preston Gibbons (solid run stopper, would have been an affinity guy) to our list of FA misses this offseason.

We do add a couple of complementary players – guys who fit pretty well for us, though not headliners. LT Horace Kolodzik is a guy we could put onto the field if need be, but a solid reserve-caliber tackle who still has a little room for improvement. He fits in well with our line leader John Houtz, which makes him an attractive pickup for us, I think, especially since we only had two tackles on the roster anyway.

DE Chuck Linquist is a solid run-stopper, and takes a three year deal with us as well. It’s at least possible that we end up using Linquist as a part-time starter, perhaps slotting him in as the nominal starter, and using another guy like Martin Santos during passing situations. Linquist is only a 5th year guy, so this investment doesn’t seem unwise to me – plus it’s a bonus-free deal, which makes cap sense as well.

Looking ahead in free agency, there’s not a lot more to spend our money on. The superstar-caliber DE finally signed a huge deal (we had in a token, short-term bid which didn’t even register, I’m sure) and the rest of the crop seems fairly uninspiring overall. We might tuck in a player or two at need areas, but we expect to mostly fill up the roster with our last draft pick (end of round four) and post-draft rookies.

Free Agency Update – Moving Right Along…

No real update here, just a passing note.

With $7 million plus in available cap space, I again have frittered away an offseason without efficiently using my money. It’s easy to see happen when many teams are still well below the cap, but still frustrating.

My last gasp effort was to put in a substantial one-year offer to the best player left on the market, a very good veteran tight end. I wouldn’t have any real problem going to some more 2TE formations if we signed him – he’d be good enough to alter the offense a bit, I certainly think. So, while he had offers for rich 3 and 4 year deals, I put in an offer for one year, $6 million, hoping to land him at least on loan.

After one or two stages of this offer sitting out there, I figured it was a lost cause. I toyed with bumping it up a bit more, but figured that if he wanted my offer, he’d have taken it.

When we get to stake 10-11 of free agency, the results now show that the TE has signed a one year deal, with Hell Creek, for $6,020,000. For those of you who remember the game show “The Price is Right,” you recognize this behavior right away – I’m the guy who guessed that the washing machine costs $400, and the guy behind me though that was a pretty good idea, so he says “$401, Bob!” And I’m screwed.

Hats off to Allosaurus for a shrewd move – just in case the guy was open to a one year deal, he made sure that it would he his deal, and not mine. He wins.

Chili Dogs Target Veteran Fullback

In a move somewhat inconsistent with their general trend toward “rebuilding,” Chesapeake has acquired veteran fullback Bill Wunderlich from Washington in a trade, sending away our 2nd round pick in the 2011 draft.

We see Wunderlich as a very solid (scout rates him 79/79) player, capable of being a short-yardage duty guy, lining up as a traditional fullback, or being used as a receiver as an H-back. I think this players gives us some real flexibility with our running and passing game, and with the deal he comes to us for a pittance salary of $700K this year. He’s a 9th year guy, so there’s no reason to think we won’t have him for the balance of his very affordable three year deal.

We have options ahead, but I would think this might make our team a lot more willing to send out two-TE formations using TE Rego and FB Wunderlich, which may be good for both our new running back Bill Briner, and also for our pass protection schemes. In general, I am reluctant to field too-talented fullbacks and tight ends, but with our corps of receivers, I don’t have such reservations, really.

Draft and Roster Update

With the extra pick we obtained in this year’s draft, we have picked up a versatile wide receiver, Howie Hudson. Hudson seems like a decent complementary player – he has reasonable potential in both kick and punt returning, which ought to give us some flexibility, and he ought to be decent enough as a deep reserve wideout. I’m not wild about the direction evidenced by our initial closer look at him, but I am also not surprised. He will have to battle a guy like Dave Worcester (from last year’s draft) for a roster spot, but he has a shot to make the team and contribute. if he makes the team, that might be the end of RB Lewis Lee with us, as hi main role is as a return man.

After a few more stages in free agency, I believe we are done there – so it’s time to assess where we are heading into the late FA stages:

We have 48 players currently signed to contracts, including two who will certainly miss the season with injuries (DT Eugene Bradham and G Joseph Shaffer), so we effectively have 7 slots to fill. Add in three rookies we will sign (QB Sedor, S Schwantz, and WR Hudson) and we are up to 49 slots filled.

We also have about 15 restricted free agents, guys who we can wait out to re-sign, and from that list, I intend to work out new deals with:

P Donovan Embry
DT Gabe Shah
QB Ernest Biddle
G Gus Schmit
G Tank Castillo
G Bennie Olechowski
K David Everhart
FS Jeff McCartney

…which pushes out effective roster count already to 56 players – three over our limit. And we have not even looked through the post-draft rookie free agents, where I always find a few guys worth signing. Assuming I find maybe four or five more players I want to sign and take into training camp – we are likely to come out of camp with a full list of 60 players and some hard cut-down decisions ahead. As usual.

I'm excited to see what you're able to do with the young QB...

I'm thinking that we are in a situation a bit like the Bengals a coupl years ago -- high potential rookie QB, but a capable journeyman already in the lineup with a decent-enough team. Assuming that after camp we see Sedor as what he appears to be (current rating pretty low, only 22, but loads of potential) I expect that we will keep him active as the # behind Harry Ross for the start of the season, maybe set Ross's playing time low to get Sedor some spot duty, but make the decision based on how the team is doing competitively. If we stay competitve and look like we might be a playoff threat (which I don't rule out, despite last season's collapse) then i'll probably plan to stick with Ross as the starter, but if not, we will probably phase over to playing Sedor by season's end.

With a mentor on the roster, I feel we can bring him along at a reasonable pace if the current situation demands it.

A luxury many of us don't have in MP leagues... But, in the end, a smart way to go.

Tough to say, really... there's little doubt that immediate and constant playing time would be good for his development, so I need to decide quickly how much I value this season (as I do think Harry Ross gives us a modestly better chance to win right now).

We'll see... might be only handful of games into the year when se start seeing Sedor taking significant snaps, or even starting.

Draft Completed – Late Free Agency

With the rookie draft completed, we are into the post-draft clean-up stages – usually an opportunity to bring a bunch of cheap invitees aboard for a shot in training camp. We’ve had decent luck getting passable talents this way, and hope to again this year.

However, this year, there’s a twist. Looks like a player sitting in the free agent pool had a sudden boom – and LB Bob McKenzie is an obvious standout in the available pool of players, with my scout tagging him at 53/64. Well, we put in a pretty considerable offer – and voila! -- welcome to the Chili Dogs, you hoser!

McKenzie rates 76/94 in run stopping, the first thing I look for in a natural inside linebacker. He ought to be passable in pass coverage, and very effective as an inside blitzer. So, in a season where we felt like we were moving backwards at LB, we land one guy who ought to be a serious difference-maker. And as a 5th year player, we see him being with us for a while, which is good as well.

That probably settles things – as McKenzie gives us four solid starting caliber linebackers, enabling us to go to a 3-4 defensive front for this year with ease. I’m not sure about roles quite yet, but Galvan and Kuykendall ought to start on the outside, and we’ll use McKenzie along with Steven Watkins on the inside – possibly the best foursome in the league. After losing two standout defensive linemen last offseason, we need the infusion of defensive talent for certain.

Back to the unheralded rookies – we bring in a number of new names. A quick summary:

TE Sedrick Ford – affinity pickup, might get a look in preseason as receiving TE
TE Robert Cooper – 25/41 has some real potential, high volatility, affinity guy
LT Jerry Burns – love this guy as a project, 22/43, 93 volatility, affinity guy
C Terrell Dauber – 23/38, has great pass blocking potential ~75, intriguing
S Brett Vesser – 10/34, balanced skills, hard to make room for him in deep secondary

We have a few more guys out there with pending offers to watch, but T Jerry Burns was the guy we were most interested in. (This could provide some mild side entertainment with fellow team owner Buddy Grant) We needed a guy to give us some time at RT, and assuming he makes the switch fairly easily, Burns could be that guy.

With those signings, we are already up to 54 players signed on the roster, with several restricted free agents still unsigned – so we are set up to have some work to do down the line.

By the way - who the heck is reading all this? Since I'm on the inside, I keep posting this stuff, and am getting increasingly snarky with my write-ups as the team implodes. I had been assuming that as the season has draggen on, the readership would drop off as the team was no longer competitive. But from the numbers I see, that doesn't seem true (to my surprise, this thread still gets 20 reads after every update, or thereabouts).

Still worth it to keep going with the dynasty thread into next offseason and beyond? I don't have particularly high expectations for the team right away - we may be doing more rebuilding than reloading... but I honestly don't really undertand the appeal of a thread like this detailing the struggles of a team that moves so slowly, and where the successes are few and far between. I am prone to dropping my dynasty threads (or, more accurately, the teams on which they are based) once I start to get bored... here, I'm a little bored with the dynasty thread, as posting about loss after loss isn't too interesting to me... but I'm sticking with the team in any event.

Keep going? Who cares? Less detail? More detail? More cheapshots at my fellow FOFL owners? Anything that would make this flow better, and get me more motivated to do a real write-up?

I'm open to thoughts, suggestions, criticisms... now seems like a good time for all that stuff.I know this was 6 weeks ago, but I still wanted to contribute my two cents.

I've had the same feelings with my Merchantmen dynasty a couple of times, wondering how many people actually read my dynasty. I think the big issue your (and my) dynasy have is the multiplayer aspect. People inside the league already know the scores and don't read to see what your team does, but rather how you get there. The same with 'vultures' and fans of a good read. If teams struggle, especially from the respectable QS, people will continue to read.

And (of course) the writing style and update frequency matter. I noticed I lost readers when my updates became more once a week than once a day like. Not to mention that, unlike with a quickly evolving single player careers, you can get up to date of a year of gaming experience in a just an hour or two of reading.

We land two more undrafted rookie free agents, here’s the quick summary:

CB Dixon Webb – 14/40, good special teamer, we even had to outbid someone here
FB Cary Lincoln – 19/35, will get a look as a TE, would be affinity there (to 12/35)

One thing that is interesting, we have a pretty strong leadership group with our current secondary. 12th year veteran CB Henry Birkland is our position leader, and has affinities with several veteran players: Raab (13th year), Winters (5th), Nave (9th), and Kettler (9th). So, we have a pretty strong engine to build from good chemistry.

However, looking down the line, I have some promising young players in my secondary who, we hope, will take over the meaningful jobs in time. And what do we have there? Pretty much by coincidence (leading into this year, at least) we have:

CB Herman Padgett – 2nd year CB, future starter, we remain very optimistic
CB Dixon Webb – intriguing undrafted rookie this year, good camp makes him a keeper
FS Jeff McCartney – 2nd year guy, good camp last year, will squeeze into long term plans
SS Brett Vesser – another undrafted rookie, who might stick with a good camp

All four guys are from the exact same affinity group – so if these guys all stick, it will be a very easy exercise to bring aboard a veteran leader for the position, and suddenly have four affinities with these guys. We’re building nicely toward having everything come together for us down the road. Admittedly, the potential for long-term affinities played into my thinking this offseason when I targeted Webb and Vesser, but getting the two from last year to line up was pure dumb luck. Ah… if the rebuilding process were always so easy. (Now we’ll have to see if any of these guys is really going to turn out to be worth a damn)

End of Late Free Agency, Preparing for Training Camp

The Chili Dogs use the last stage of late free agency to work out deals with many of our restricted free agent players, and to make offers to our rookie players. I am hoping QB Brent Sedor accepts my offer, even though I chose to give him a 5 year deal rather than the shorter deal he’d probably prefer. Assuming he works out for us, there’s no way we’re letting him hit free agency, so the only question is when he needs to be renegotiated.

Sedor turns down our offer – so we will presumably have to bring him in on his terms at the next opportunity. It probably wasn’t even worth the risk to do this to begin with – there’s at least some risk that he will lose a trifle of development by missing training camp now.

To clear cap space for these signings, we have worked out s few things. We released QB Bobby Chesley, victim of the numbers game at QB as a veteran non-mentor, he just didn’t fit any longer. We renegotiated deals with DT Martin Santos and DE Cornelius Kleinsasser, both squeezing some space this season. A couple more pre-camp cuts, too – RB Floyd Fraser and LB Urso Harrold are given their outrights.

We also land RB Andy Guo, a guy we will give a look at WR to see if he can become a return specialist for us there. Initially, he moves from 21/29 to 16/31 as a split end, and he looks like he might have potential of about 50-60

To get enough cap space to make on last pre-camp offer to QB Sedor, we cut G James Cid – a veteran, strong affinity guy, but just costing us too much under the cap to stick around. When Sedor signs, he will make 63 players on our roster, so we will definitely have some cutting-down to do anyway, and he was on the “likely” list anyway.

Cary Lincoln has made the switch from FB to TE, and at 10/34, he probably needs a very good training camp to make the team. Prospect status dimming…

With that, we are ready to get a closer look at our youngsters in training camp, where we have balanced out the effort anticipating more commitment to the run this year than in years past.

Training Camp

Well, the bad news first – due to some sort of glitch (probably user error on my part), we didn’t get QB Brent Sedor into camp in time. My last contract offer didn’t even register, nor did the cut of G James Cid – so my last file submission didn’t connect, it seems. Oh, well… we lose a shade of development there, but probably not the end of the world.

We also missed on the chance to slide RB Andy Guo over to WR for training camp - another missed opportunity.

Anyway – the bigger news is that Brent Sedor held serve, basically – he dropped one point from 22/88 to 22/87 in the camp, so any worry about a massive drop there has been ameliorated. We don’t get to see him take a step forward in camp, but at least it’s not a step backward.

Interestingly enough, for the second straight year, Harry Ross had a good training camp, and continues to demonstrate his value to this team. Whether it’s as a long term backup, or as future trade bait, he certainly looks good enough to help us for now and later.

Among the rookie class, we have the predictable disappointments – WR Howie Hudson is going to be a decent return man for us, but he’s not going to be too productive in the passing game other than as a deep reserve. About what I had a right to expect from a fourth round pick, though I had gotten a taste of “draft goggles” with him, admittedly.

SS Doug Schwantz was a guy I had pretty high hopes for – and his training camp was a half-full glass. I had hoped for a big bump, instead we got a small one, only seeing his future potential rating jump from 52 to 53. All this does is get him back to where he was as we evaluated him for the draft – so a future as a 60-65 rated player is probably not going to happen after all. He looks like a pretty good fit for us anyway (though not a top-notch interception guy, which is disappointing at safety) so he will get some looks this season, but all told we are a little let down there.

I do think that a few of our URFA project players are going to make the team – T Jerry Burns rewarded my faith with a nice camp bump, and might get a loot at RT for us, actually. I’m enamored enough with the long-term affinity idea at DB to keep both CB Dixon Webb and S Brett Vesser on the team, I think – both show some promise and might fit into our longer term planning.

Disappointing to miss out on my last round of actions, but overall, at least we avoided a catastrophe. To keep it all in perspective - Sedor looks fine, and that’s more important than all the rest of this put together.

Position Focus: Tight End

In past years, the Chili Dogs have lined up in a lot of 3-WR sets, and have made real efforts to move the ball downfield using our wideouts as the primary engines for our passing game. In our initial few seasons, we rarely used a TE on the field at all, generally running with three or even four wide receivers and one or two backs.

With the signing of Clyde Rego as a free agent in 2006, we started working him into the mix a bit more – a solid veteran tight end, he caught 45, 41, and 65 passes in his three seasons as a starter for us, allowing a reasonable shift toward more TE usage than before. Through that time, our backup has been journeyman Clay Lannon – generally my ideal backup TE, who has good special teams skills, can do the long snapping, and has a positional affinity with our leader. (The position leader, Joel Connell, is himself a TE and special teamer, incidentally, and he has a roster spot sewn up, as he is the centerpiece for massive affinity gains within the WR/TE group)

This offseason, we acquired FB Bill Wunderlich by trade, which complicates things a bit. He is probably the most talented guy in our backfield now, even with the signing of Bill briner to be our main duty back. So, how to best use Wunderlich? Using him at the fullback position per se probably means he catches a fair number of underneath passes, but doesn’t contribute a lot to our actual success. I have had success with using a quality FB in more of an H-back role, slotting him at TE, in another league, and I envision a similar role here for Wunderlich.

So, amidst this change, we have another variable. We brought in a few new bodies at FB or TE for training camp, and it looks like we have one more mouth to feed. TE Robert Cooper was a pretty well-developed tight end who slipped through the draft, and largely because he projected to have an affinity with Connell, we brought him aboard to give him a look. He gave us an immediate bump up, and then another in training camp, and now looks like a pretty intriguing prospect at 27/44.

For a team that once basically shunned the TE position, we are now looking at ways to get multiple tight ends onto the field. Rookie Brent Sedor, also, is limited to only 8 formations at this point (after missing a training camp specifically designed to help him) so we probably need to make use of the ones he does know – including the 2TE pro set. Right now, I think our best talent to put on the field there is probably Wunderlich at TE1 and Rego at TE2. Robert Cooper, though, is an intriguing enough prospect that slotting him at TE2 might make more sense, on a team that’s trying to look a little more long term.

So… Connell makes the team, and the promising rookie Cooper definitely does as well. That leaves both our returning veterans, Rego and Lannon, in limbo. Both guys are affinity contributors, Rego still has pretty decent skills (49/54 overall by my scout) and there’s not urgency to cut either guy. But I know cut-downs are coming, and we’ll have to find six or eight victims from this team.

I think we may shop Rego, and if we can get a draft pick for him, he might go. If not, then the plan may be to cut Lannon, and go into the season with three affinity tight ends, all competing for playing time behind a FB slotted as the TE1 starter.

So, we start off pretty well, with the defense mustering 8 sacks en route to a dominating win over the Hudson Valley scrubs. Brent Sedor looked very sharp in to start the game, clicking on 9 of 12 passes.

On the downside, we have a serious injury to an important player – LB Steven Watkins is down for the year. He is listed out for 26 weeks, so he is a safe IR decision. He hasn’t been injury prone, either, so this is a surprise to us. It puts even more pressure onto new addition Doug McKenzie, who will now take an even more prominent role for us right away.

CB Henry Birkland is also sent to IR – his main role on the team is as position leader, where he will remain, but his services will not be needed on the field.

We are paring down from here – the preseason will hopefully not bring us any more bad news, but just help us continue to refine our view of some of these long-term players for us. I’m feeling better and better about our situation at OL and DB for the long haul, as I think we may have some decent young players who can stay with us for a long time. If we can keep our veteran mix together along the front seven, and add some skill position players in the next couple of years, we might have a pretty reasonable formula going forward from here.

QuikSand, I see your quarterbacks sharing playing time in this first game of the season, but also noticed it in previous seasons. I probably missed the big explaination of the strategy behind it. Is there any particular reason for giving both Sedor and Ross time to play, or was the last game just the effect of pulling the starter after taking a big lead (even though it was in the second quarter)? if you care to share that tiny bit of info, of course.

Well, this is just preseason, so shared playing time seems to be unavoidable. For this game, Sedor was in the top spot and started the game with playing time set to 4, while Ross came in and got even more work. I plan to reverse their roles for the rest of preseason, if that means getting Sedor the bulk of the playing time (which has been my experience).

As for the regular season, I'm still up in the air. Losing one more top-quality defensive player dims my hopes for this year a bit, and with every incremental loss of confidence I become more likely to send Sedor in as our starter right away (or close to it). I don't want to flush this season away, as I think we have a shot to contend -- but developing Sedor is clearly our top priority. We have a mentor, and an opportunity to start the young QB (who doesn't look too bad, really) so there's a compelling argument to give up a win or four this year if it means setting our course with him right away.

As for last season, we had a bit of a longshot prospect in as our starter, with a washed-up veteran (whose contract forced a release anyway) as our other option (with Ross injured and out). So, I was giving minimal playing time (set to 1) to the starter, calling for the backup to get used in every game, which suited my preferencers okay, mostly to see whether the young QB was going to develop enough to remain part of our long term plans. He didn't show much on the field, and he is no longer on the roster.

Whew! Just finished reading the whole thread!

I love your moves this past off-season -- don't really see how it could have gone much better.

Just curious -- were you going to get that #1 overall pretty much no matter what, or was the deal you made pretty much your limit in terms of what to give up?

MIJB#19

12-20-2005, 04:23 PM

Well, this is just preseason, so shared playing time seems to be unavoidable.Ugh. Slam in my face. Proves me right for not reading that well.

The rest of the explaination sounds all reasonable. Even with the young quarterback (Biddle, right?), who you eventually released. It's still interesting to see how sometimes teams decide to not 'rush' a first round pick into the starting lineup. Especially the approach to keep your rookie on the bench until the game is halfway done.

12-20-2005, 07:04 PM

Just curious -- were you going to get that #1 overall pretty much no matter what, or was the deal you made pretty much your limit in terms of what to give up?

Well, there were players I would have been very happy to land with my two early picks, so I could have made peace with the idea of landing two good players at less critical positions... but in retrospect, it's probably good that I did move up, as I think I would have been disappointed with the players who were there at 1.8 and 1.11.

So, I was indeed near my limit with that deal. Earlier, I was all but ready to settle for two early picks when the logjam broke for 1.1... and I'm glad it worked out there.

Brent Sedor is again very, very sharp for us (this time playing the majority of snaps in relief duty) and we get quite a day from rookie wideout Howie Hudson – playing as if his job depended on it (which it likely does).

No major new injuries this week, fortunately. So, not much to report, overall.

Focus on: Wide Receiver

For as long as we have fielded a team, we have happily spread three or four wide receivers across the field, to make best use of our roster’s strengths. We started out with WR Mark Jackson and Justin Berkey as the central players in this scheme, with Marcus Meneses as the valuable slot receiver in our base package. Success has been intermediate – our offense has usually been in the top half of the league (by my reckoning) but rarely in the very top region.

Now, we have a changing of the guard, it seems. Justin Berkey is still here, but in his 11th season, he is clearly in decline to some degree. Mark Jackson was injured badly two seasons ago, and unable to recover – instead hobbled off to an unceremonious retirement. And Marcus Meneses signed a deal to play in Shreveport this season, leaving only one of the original foundation players still standing here in Chesapeake.

So, what to do? Well, this year, Justin Berkey remains our top option on paper, a solid veteran slotted as #1 on the flanker depth chart, with no serious worries behind him there -- Jake Madison is a reserve-caliber guy with some return skills, and has no greater ambitions than that, I think, and Rookie Howie Hudson is a nice return option and a deep reserve, but we have no reason to believe he has a higher ceiling than “fill-in” player.

For the last two seasons, veteran Jimmy Castellano has increased his role in our offense – he’s a guy with solid ratings in nearly everything, but one void in the worst place: route running. In two seasons starting with us, Castellano hauled in 57% of the passes thrown his way for about 13 yards per reception – decent, but not extraordinary numbers by any count.

The new player in the picture is third year wideout Danny Napiecek, oddly released by Norwich prior to this season, and signed to play in Chesapeake as a free agent. Napiecek is a natural split end, so the obvious place for him to contend is for Castellano’s job. Napiecek is basicaly Castellano’s opposite (for players of roughly the same overall scout rating) – he rates 64/72 in route running, and has pedestrian ratings in the 25-45 range for most everything else. So, he will have a shot (and after a strong preseason, maybe a good one) to step into a starting role for us at the split end position, and quite possibly end up the year with more catches than anyone else at WR.

The ideal situation for next year would be to bring aboard a promising rookie to develop – Castellano is a mentor at the WR position, and we have tremendous affinities at the position (every possible player has one) so the stage is set for a major investment there, a target to bring along with young QB Sedor. As for this year, we will continue to use Berkey (the franchise career leader, and in the league top ten all-time in receiving yards) and see what we have in Castellano and Napiecek, but like most of this team, we’ll have one eye looking down the road.

I always liked Castellano... he seems to be a perfect fit for the #3 receiver spot. I believe that's the role he filled for our moderately successful Vegas teams.

So, Who’s Going to Make the Team?

Halfway through our pretend games, I need to start thinking about the final roster we’ll carry into the season. I have a pretty good idea… here’s the roster grid that I keep this time of year to help me count heads:

FORECASTED DEPTH CHART
Bubble total active
QB Ross Sedor Beach 3 3
RB Briner Criswell Lee 3 2
FB Wunderlich Emerson 2 2
TE Rego Cooper Connell Lannon 3 2
WR Berkey Castellano Napiecek Madison Hudson Worcester 5 4

C Houtz Turnbull Lambeau 3 2
G Saladino Schmit Brandon Olechowski Shaffer (IR) Castillo 5 3
T Tilton Boyd Kolodzik Burns 4 3

P and K Embry Everhart 2 2

DE Hall Kleinsasser Linquist Kershner 4 4
DT Santos Shah Bradham(IR) 3 2

ILB McKenzie Wiseman Dennis Watkins (IR) 4 3
OLB Kuykendall Galvan Shepard 4 3

CB Raab Nave Scanlon Padgett Winters Webb Birkland(IR) 7 5
S Carr Schwantz Vesser McCartney Kettler 4 3

Red text - in danger of being released
Italics - rookie player Total Slots: 56 43
Bold text - predicted starter Players on IR: 4
Net Roster 52 43

If this holds true, then right now I basically have one open job remaining. I don’t see any of the guys I have tagged as keepers being released, so the only way that list expands is by injury (putting a reserve player onto IR).

The guys who are competing for that last roster spot are basically:

Veteran S Chappy Kettler will again have no role on our defense, but he’s been with us since the start, is an affinity guy, a mentor, and could play if needed. Tough to just cast off a guy like this – but this is probably the third year he’s been on the bubble like this. Hard to see him being on the team in, say, three more seasons when we expect to be putting it all together – so why should he stay now?

6th year TE Clay Lannon[/I] has been with us forever, has developed slowly but surely, plays special teams and a little bit in the passing game. Trouble is, URFA TE Robert Cooper is already a better player, and the arrow is up for him – leaving Lannon, at best, our third TE option. Again – how does this guy help us in three years?

2nd year [b]RG Tank Castillo is a nice prospect, has developed a little, but he’d probably end up as our 12th offensive lineman. Tough to see him getting adequate time to develop, especially with no mentor and no active spot for him anyway.

At this point… I don’t think there is a compelling player on our roster for that last slot. Really, what we need is a solid OLB who could give us a little reserve time at LB or DE… since we are perilously thin at both positions. Right now, I am unmoved by the options available, but that’s what we need to really patch by for this season.

Up in the air so far… but we’ll be watching the waiver wire as well as our own roster.

So, we get a pretty solid effort from young Brent Sedor, but looking a bit more like a rookie than before, with a few mistakes along the way. WR Hudson and Napiecek are continuing to shine, and both are looking like they will be able to make a contribution this year.

WR Jake Madison has a cold, and this is a chance to put him onto IR for the year, deliciously enough. The question is whether we need him this year – or are we better off using an extra roster spot on someone else? Madison’s main contribution was to be in punt returning, and Howie Hudson can step into that role right away, and do okay. It would be a cold-hearted thing to do, I think, but if it lets us keep one more promising player, it may be worth it.

Let me take a moment to explain what a monster addition DE Chuck Linquist is to this team. He leads the defense in tackles, playing from the DT position, and he ought to be a solid, solid foundation for our run defense this year. Indeed, he may be one of the finest human beings to suit up for this franchise, and I mean no disrespect to the fine players who preceded him. Chuck Linquist, Great American.

They were able to grind it out pretty well against us, and we come up short – Sedor is making mistakes, but still showing pretty good accuracy overall for a young QB.

On the injury front: nothing too serious. S Brett Vesser is down, and he might get a ticket to the IR as a result. So, we will have to do our pare-down without the aid of a lot of fringe players with trifling injuries.

The cutdown victims:

RB Courtney Criswell
TE Sedrick Ford
C Terrell Dauber
WR Dave Worcester

We are ready to go for the season opener – this will be a new look for us, with more balance on offense, a new bright light at QB, and a lot of mysteries most everywhere else along the roster.

QuikSand

01-07-2006, 10:51 AM

One last personnel move…

As opening day approaches, we get interest in CB John Raab, our 12th year mentor and starter. I had dangled him through the offseason, and when division rival Hollywood suffered another in its string of injuries, they finally came around.

SCA receives:
CHE 2nd next yr
CB John Raab

CHE receives:
SCA 1st next yr

So, we lock up a third pick in next year’s first round, as our efforts to rebuild while still on our feet continue. With Raab gone, we will be looking at our younger DBs to take an increased role in the defense, with William Padgett now almost certainly locked in as a starter from here on out.

We pursue and sign veteran free agent CB Gilbert Threlkeld – he’s not the solid player that Raab was, but he helps out as a mentor and affinity guy, so we replace a good deal of Raab’s long term value there.

And we are ready to send out the team for our opener – on the road at defending division champs Portland.

QuikSand

01-07-2006, 10:52 AM

Week 1: Chesapeake at Portland

Portland is the defending division champion, and we are in some midst of rebuilding – so there’s little expectation here. We will run a more conservative offense than our norm, as we start out young QB Brent Sedor right away. Looking at my roster, especially along the defensive front, I’m just unconvinced that we are anything more than a marginal playoff threat if things go well this year, so we will be focusing much more on getting young players working together and developing – with hopes that we can acquit ourselves okay this year, and be in better shape for the years beyond. We’re not tanking – we still will be fielding a pretty solid team, but we might be effectively dropping a win or two by focusing on younger players where it’s reasonable for our longer term future.

So, we get a fairly predictable result here – we are dominated and held in check by Portland, and come up well short in this game. Sedor is okay, no big mistakes, but didn’t really get a lot of help from the running game or underneath play. I may need to get to work tweaking this offense more, to see what we might be able to get working better to help out our young QB.

No major injuries, but we might be working on the game plan a bit in the week(s) ahead.

For give me for the lack of recent updates -- our organization has recently acquired a very, very promising young prospect, and we've been focusing much of our attention there.

For now, suffice it to say that the Chili Dogs have managed to peel off two wins to get to 2-1, young Brent Sedor has his first "4th quarter heroics" to his credit, and we are playing pretty well despite the injuries that ave hit us pretty hard.

And so, we stand at 3-1 this season, following a BIG win on the road at league power Hell Creek. Right now, I think newfound MLB Doug McKenzie is most certainly our team MVP, as the defensive front talent continues to disintegrate around him. Travis Kuykendall, our shining young star at SLB, has gone down with a season-ending and career-threatening injury, so we are now down to just Mckenzie and the recently recovered Galvan, with a patch-up job at the other LB slot (we’re actually using special teamer D.J. Dennis there, which is a first for him).

So, through four games, here is the team snapshot:

This is a very different Chesapeake team than we have seen I the past – so far, our m.o. has been to run the ball, stop the run, and win the turnover battle. Brent Sedor is coming along fine, and with only one pick in four games, has executed the plan very nicely. DE Cornelius Kleinsasser deserves a shout out, as he has been productive getting his first regular action after years on our bench.

Off to a great start, and we are fishing for a little help at LB before the trade deadline.

Need Help at Linebacker? Call on the Captain!

Chesapeake has signed veteran free agent linebacker Captain Bonham, who is expected to shore up the defensive front following a number of injuries. Initially, I think Bonham will be slotted in as our starter at the weak side slot – as we have moves right back to the 4-3 front following the season ending injuries to two LB starters. Bonham is pretty solid against the run (scouted at 51/62) and that is probably his best position on the field. We may shift to using nickel coverage a bit more now, as I think we have better overall personnel on the field using S Jeff McCartney than Bonham, but both will see significant time from here on out, I suspect.

We had dangled some interest in the trade “market” but Bonham satisifes our immediate needs, and the price is right – he’s aboard for the familiar veteran minsal deal.

Week 5: State College (1-3) at Chesapeake (3-1)

Well, now that we have pulled off one significant upset, and picked up one player with a purely “help now” mentality, we can start speculating about this season ahead. Is this a playoff team? For me, the real debate had really been whether we’d be competitive for the playoffs at all… now we’re looking for signs as to whether we’re really a solid team. This week, we host State College, and will be looking for signs that we can play well enough to put a game away (thus far missing from our equation). We’ll do it basically without FB Bill Wunderlich, but we have FB Charles Emerson and our reserve TE players led by rookie Robert Cooper looking to pick up the slack for him.

Well, we work a decent underneath attack, and the running game is okay, but we give up way too much through the air to them, and get beaten in a game we figured to win at home. Placing us back at 3-2, this also may well send a signal that despite the ability to win a few games here and there, this is not a truly consistent team right now – and that the wins we get we’ll have to earn.

Brent Sedor, while not taking many real shots downfield, has continued to play pretty well – here he is credited with only two “bad throws” in 37 attempts. He also appears to be pretty dangerous when pushed from the pocket – he’s listed as a short pass style of guy, but so far in five games he’s posted a pretty healthy 168 yards on the ground. One more thing for opposing defenses to watch.

Dissapointing loss...Seder's legs have been more effective than his arm, but as young he is, you needn't worry. Losing home games that you should win is potentially ominous.

Nice dynasty, though. I just started reading, and I will definitely be keeping up with it.

Focus on: Chili Dogs Ground Game

In past years, our team has consistently been pass-first. This year, with some shifting of our overall talent on field, we are looking to run a bit more often. After five games, I wanted to have a look (so far) at our new investment – a running game.

Rushing Statistics

Player Pos Team GP GS Att Yards Avg Lg TD
Briner, Bill RB CHE 5 5 77 358 4.64 41 2
Sedor, Brent QB CHE 5 5 29 168 5.79 19 0
Wunderlich, Bill FB CHE 5 4 23 95 4.13 15 1
Emerson, Charles FB CHE 5 4 7 15 2.14 7 0

First off, here are the raw stats, by ball carrier. Offseason acquisition Bill Briner was brought in to be our main workhorse back on first down, and so far, so good. A 4.6 average per carry is plenty solid. Wunderlich, who I’m using as a sort of H-back (starting at TE, but used as a specialty RB and #2 on the RB depth chart), is getting a fair number of carries as well, and while not explosive, he’s doing fine.

Looking a level deeper, I want to see the OL performance, which I believe is pretty important given our overall talent level in this area:

Well, from a roster management perspective, my only real decision was to go with young Winston Turnbull as our starter at C – he’s a run-blocking guy, ahead of veteran group leader John Houtz, who is primarily a pass blocker. So far, Turnbull has been okay, and we will hope to develop him with a good season here. Veteran free agent Bobby Saladino has been solid starting at the LG slot, and young Gus Schmit is coming along at the RG slot, mostly.

We are paying Stanley Tilton a lot of money, and he has easily the best “bars” of anyone in this group, but once again we don’t seem to be getting star-caliber results from him. Oh, well. Rookie Jerry Burns has potential to grow, and so far we’re not running a lot behind him at the RT slot, where I think he will be a long term fixture.

As it is, as I’m thinking longer-term about this team, the real complexion of our line is quite a bit different than I am used to. Just considering the guys I expect to be around a while, here’s what we have:

Player Pos Yr RunBl PassBl RB/PB ratio
Turnbull, Winston C 2 60/80 14/19 0.81 / 0.81
Schmit, Gus G 2 28/45 46/67 0.38 / 0.40
Burns, Jerry T 1 42/63 21/37 0.67 / 0.63
Brandon, Marvin G 2 22/54 26/75 0.46 / 0.42
Lambeau, Wendell C 2 23/29 23/44 0.50 / 0.40
Olechowski, Bennie G 2 13/46 7/28 0.65 / 0.62
Castillo, Tank G 2 24/51 18/57 0.60 / 0.47
Tilton, Stanley T 5 62/65 61/61 0.51 / 0.52
Kolodzik, Horace T 5 27/40 27/41 0.50 / 0.49

That’s a lot of guys who are pretty balanced – not at all like the line we had in place just a couple years ago (where most guys would have had a ratio in the 0.2-0.4 range, I’d guess). If we eventually drift back toward a pass-happy attack, we may have a mismatch on our hands – but having a solid, balanced LT and two pass-blocking guards shouldn’t be too bad.

Week 6: Chesapeake (3-2) at South Carolina (4-1)

Pretty big divisional game – a win on the road here, and we are back as a factor in the division race. A loss, which seems fairly likely, and we are two games behind the second place team. It’s early to make declarations, but that would be tough to overcome with a team that is likely to be pretty unpredictable.

Well, we are in the game the whole way, thanks to a solid defensive effort, but we end up calling at least 43 pass plays to under 20 rushes. Our top back gains 7 yards a carry, and we starve him in favor of more underneath passing. I rarely dwell on playcalling, but that is pretty frustrating.

Anyway, we have one more injury to our defensive front, as Miles Kershner is down for a month or so – he’s been a run-stopper inside for us, and the loss will be felt. This will elevate young Gabe Shah (a guy I never though would play much either) to a starting job, and will get veteran FA pickup Reuben Bean onto the field as well. Neither is that great, but we are patching holes however we can. We could really easily handle a loss at DB or OL, but oh no, it has to be the defensive front again.

So, at 3-3 we share the division basement with Dodge City, but are not in complete disarray. We will see H-back Bill Wunderlich and WR Jimmy Castellano return to the lineup this coming week, so perhaps we can add a little bit to our offensive punch. I remain amazed that our beat-up defensive front is still rated highly against the run, allowing only 3.6 yards per carry (5th best in the league).

Quik, just curious...what do you mean by RB/PB ratio, and where do you derive those numbers from?

Also, how has Sedor's future development (ratings) come along so far?

The RB/PB ratio is just the share of his total ratings in those two catgeories attributed to run blocking. The formula I'm using is:

Ratio = RB / (RB + PB)

So, for Turnbull, with his current ratings, it's

Ratio = 60 / (60 + 14) = 0.81

(meaning that 81% of his visiable skill is in run blocking, making him a pretty one-dimensional offensive lineman)

For each guy I calculated this twoce, based on current ratings then based on future ratings. For the most part, the two were pretty consistent.

To me, it's just a convenient way to quantify what I already know -- my line is more balanced than ever, and that helps to explain why we are probably running better than ever, in some part. I have long been of the mind (unproven, completely admittedly) that this ratio is itself important -- that for some reason an OL rated 60RB/20PB will be more effective as a run blocker than a guy rated 60RB/60PB. I have nothing but anecdotes to back that up, but it's at least slightly on my mind as I consider my OL plan.

As for Sedor, my scout rates him at 39/87 overall after six starts. My scout had him at 22/87 coming ouut of training camp, so his development is coming along quite nicely. I don't think that a player really sees movement in his future potential except for specific points in the year -- and the next one isn't until next season, I believe. I'll be watching closely, but I suspect that he will indeed reach most of that potential, and will eventually be a very well-developed star-caliber passer. Our club's future almost certainly hinges on it.

Well – a pretty good game, all told. We led at the half and through three quarters, we didn’t make any big mistakes, but just got ground down by a better team in the end. Portland did pretty much nail down our running game, which is disappointing, and they passed on us very efficiently all day – so there were weak spots, to be sure. But not an awful showing. Brent Sedor manages to get through the whole game without being tagged with a single “bad throw,” which is nice to see for a young gun.

LB Doug McKenzie continues to put up monster numbers for us in the middle linebacker spot, as he has clearly become the real centerpiece to this defense, in very short order. But no pressure on their QB makes things awfully tough for the secondary, and their QB had all day to get his job done.

Now RB Bill Briner is hurt, and we will probably slot in FB Bill Wunderlich as our main ball carrier for a couple of games. He ought to do okay, but he won’t have the breakaway threat we got from Briner (a bit). We may tweak the offense a bit for the next few weeks, but I don’t expect to see a totally different team out there.

Now that we have fallen below .500 for the year so far, we have shed any illusions that might have been creeping up when we pulled off a nice upset to stand at 3-1.

It’s tough not to be happy with the defensive effort here, as new additional Linquist and McKenzie anchored a pretty stout front against a run-committed team. But we couldn’t really get anything going on our own, and this ended up being a pretty tough one to watch, I’d hazard.

DEs Chuck Linquist and Miles Kershner, both starters for us at DT, are now added to the injured list. This is getting to the point of absurdity, though these two, mercifully, are only for a few weeks. I have no idea who will be suiting up for us in the next couple of weeks, but it’s getting rather silly. I suspect we will have to move star DE Alvin Hall to play inside, and we’ll patch up the DE spots with whatever we have lying around.

So, with eight games in the bag, here’s the season synopsis:

It’s just odd to me that despite the ravaging we have suffered along the defensive front, we remain among the very best teams in the league against the run – holding foes to only 3.6 yards per carry. I am out of superlatives for LB McKenzie, but he’s on pace for a truly frightening tackle total, in part enhanced by the absence of much talent around him. DE Cornelius Kleinsasser, an original Chili Dog from the 2003 season, is finally getting his chance to shine, and looks like a solid player for us, actually. Our young secodnary is a weakness (though I continue to like many of these guys) as nobody has a PDPct rating over 2 on the season.

WR Danny Napiecek has been the standout among our passing offense, as young Brent Sedor avoids making too many mistakes, but also hasn’t been revving the engines all that much. Napiecek might well be on his way to cementing a starting job for this team for the years ahead – he’s a pretty good fit anyway, and this season he’s looking like our best guy out there by far.

This isn’t an awful team, but we aren’t likely to get back to .500 for the season, I don’t suspect.

Young DBs – Half-Season Check

We have two very young players who have been starting all season for us in the secondary – CB Herman Padgett (pick 3.1 last year) and S Doug Schwantz (pick 2.32 this year). Both are guys I am basically penciling in as long-term starters, so I have an interest in their development as well as their play on-field. How’s it going so far?

CB Padgett, 2nd year

Ratings when drafted: 28/52
Ratings currently: 49/54
Run Defense: 74
BNR Defense: 75/82
Interceptions: 39/40

Pass Plays: 186
Passes Caught: 16
Passes Defensed: 2
Passes Intercepted: 0
PDPCt Rating: 18.1

SS Schwantz, 1st year

Ratings when drafted: 27/49
Ratings currently: 35/53
Run Defense: 20/35
BNR Defense: 66/70
Interceptions: 36/63

Pass Plays: 202
Passes Caught: 22
Passes Defensed: 7
Passes Intercepted: 0
PDPCt Rating: 18.9

So, neither guys is exactly a sterling asset on the field right now, but both guys are developing pretty well. If I had my druthers, I might switch their run defense abilities, as I like Padgett out on the wing, but wish Schwantz had a little more power against the run. Both guys fit into our plans just fine, though, and we will keep it up – both are active and mentored this season, which ought to maximize their respective development progress.

Wow, where to start? We lead 17-7 at the half, but only hand the ball off 8 times the whole game? Really? And then our defense gives out on us late in the game, allowing a prototype fourth quarter comeback at home, to give away the game – great. Oh, well.

Sedor has a good game – sacked six times and picked off twice, he was not marked down for a single “bad throw” all day. I’m not sure that him throwing 38 times in a game we were leading is the best recipe for success, but that was a pretty solid effort for him, all told.

I’m inclined to lay the blame for this tough loss at the feet of our offensive line – zero key run blocks, six sacks allowed, and a close loss in a home game. Rough.

Not mush to add here – we’ll keep at it, with Bill Briner back in the fold next week, and try to get back on track. From 3-1 to 3-6 is a pretty steep drop, but we know that this isn’t the target season in “the plan.”

Week 10: Dodge City (5-4) at Chesapeake (3-6)

We still consider Dodge City our main “rival,” even though at the moment it’s Portland who rules the division roost. DGC has been the team who has factored into our intra-division figuring the most over time, and they merit special attention for each renewal. They used to be a one-dimensional offense, running as their first and last option, but now are more balanced with some real talent at the WR slots. While we are last in the division, and probably out of playoff consideration, it’s always nice to poke a hole in someone else’s boat if you can.

So, a pretty even game overall, but we won the turnover battle by a wide margin, and got away with a win. Our defense held the line for the whole second half, and that made the real difference. The offense didn’t lose the game, and the defense basically won it for us. Hats off to real game MVP safety/nickelback Ferdy Nave, a guy I totally love for some odd reason.

I also like a switch I have made – I have slotted SS Mark Carr in as our starting weak-side linebacker. He’s decent (not great) against the run, and is ok to play there, and having him there instead of a very weak true OLB (like Captain Bonham) just seems better to me. So, when we are in our base 3-4, we will have him playing in a LB slot, and when we drop back into nickel coverage, he will still see some time in a safety role. For a pretty solid player, this seems like a decent slot for him, especially with out stock of true LBs so depleted.

So, a pretty solid win, and another pretty good effort by our defense, again exceeding my expectations. We are now the #1 defense in rushing yards per play (the best indicator, I think) in the league. We have had that badge before, even this late in a season, but it has always been with exemplary personnel there to make it clear why we were so strong. Now, we lack that foundation – with four key guys from our traditional front seven just gone – but are still reaping the spoils of a commitment to stop the run.

Week 11: We Rested

With the week off, we don’t have too much to report. We did make one free agent signing, picking up rookie LB Nick Winslett, who might see some tangential playing time for us down the road. What this amounts to, really, is a concession that we’re not going to see LB Stephen Watkins the rest of this year. He joins LB Travis Kuykendall and DT Eugene Bradham as the big questions marks for nest season – can these guys come back from very serious injuries and continue to play productively? Kuykendall was a central figure in my defensive planning, but all three guys are very good players. As we’re trying to build this team for the future, it’s very tough to just shed talent under any circumstances.

Well, it wasn’t pretty, but it’s a win. Tough to get all that excited about winning to get to 5-6, but you do what you can.

Sedor is charged with one bad throw in 38 attempts – that’s great. LB McKenzie is again the focal point of the defense, posting another huge day of tackles. He is making 21% of our defensive tackles, which is a crazy number, and is in a two way race for the league lead in that department so far. He does have more than twice as many solo tackles as anyone else on the team.

On the day, we held them to 3.4 yards per carry – and that number is itself inflated by their QB getting 37 of those yards – their backs went 18 for 50 yards. Our run defense continues to be very effective. DE Alvin Hall is downed with an injury, so we will just keep patching up and hoping for the best up front.

Well, not the script I had imagined (or had pursued vie the gameplan) but not a bad result. Sedor cracks the 300 yard mark for the first time, and he is tallied with only one “bad throw” in 34 attempts, en route to a pretty good day, the two picks notwithstanding.

So, we get to 6-6 on the season. Here are the standings for some context:

We are technically not out of the race, but it’s a tough road ahead, and we remain a last place team. It’s quite possible that our division sends both wild cards from our conference… and we are only one game behind the current wild card tier, so that’s not so bad. One more win, and we can start thinking about what it would take to get in this year.

The injury bug has hit our CB position, as we have lost Billy Joe Scanlon and Dixon Webb from our rotation of players there. We’ll patch up, as usual, and will likely see more playing time for the venerable Mark Carr.

Week 14: Fall River (3-9) at Chesapeake (6-6)

Well, we are back at home, facing off against a rebuilding team we nominally outmatch. Last week, my declaration was “one more win, and we can start thinking about what it would take to get in [to the playoffs] this year.” Well, this certainly seems like the spot to do it, gang.

We will hope to see the team revert back to the ground game more this week, as everyone is healthy there and it’s probably our best shot.

Well, I am delighted to see us rack up over 200 yards on the ground, and put together another pretty solid win. The offense was again pretty mistake-free, and the defense played well enough to keep us in command. The real key to the game for us, I think, was the offensive line – we tallied 12 key run blocks on the day, and didn’t allow a single sack. That’s about the best day I’ve seen from this group of young blockers.

A couple “yeah, but” things here. RB Bill Briner is hurt, and will miss a couple games (again). And it seems that my file submitted was incorrect somehow, as my team went under limited AI control – much to my chagrin. So, we will have to do a couple of repair moves to try to get us back where I want us.

LB Doug McKenzie will miss a game, bad news for his quest to lead the league in tackles. Our move to a 3-4 defense (forced by injury) had really spelled the end of that thought anyway, I think, but with a week on the bench it’s all but over there. I’m not one for individual stats (and I generally think that the tackles stat is probably the most overrated in the FOF game) but it had been pretty interesting to see one guy gobble up such a huge share of our tackles.

Playoff Outlook

So, here are the relevant standings for the conference – as we commence with our promised look at the playoff situation:

NC North W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Norwich 10 3 0 .769 288 256 7-3 3-1
Calverton 7 6 0 .538 339 260 6-4 2-2

NC South W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Hell Creek 10 3 0 .769 334 196 8-2 4-0

NC East W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Portland 8 5 0 .615 308 271 7-3 3-1
South Carolina 8 5 0 .615 317 253 5-5 1-3
Chesapeake 7 6 0 .538 246 234 4-6 1-3
Dodge City 7 6 0 .538 261 252 6-4 3-1

NC West W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Myrtle Beach 5 7 1 .423 209 248 4-6 3-1

There are indeed teams at 6-7 who could jump forward and claim a wind card slot, I’m sure it’s mathematically possible. But for now, here’s how I see it:

#1 and #2 seeds: Norwich and Hell Creek in some order
#3 seed: winner of East division, up for grabs
#4 seed: crappy team from the West
#5 seed: Portland/South Carolina loser has the inside track
#6 seed: Calverton has the inside track, with Week 17 likely settling DGC/CHE

Our three remaining games are all against playoff contenders, including hosting South Carolina this week, and playing at Dodge City in the finale. A 2-1 finish to put us to 9-7 could potentially be good enough to get us in… it might depend on Calverton. However, Calverton has three very winnable games in their last three, and they have the edge on us in conference record as well – so we only pass them by getting a game ahead.

The odds are, we probably need to run the table to get in, and then we’d have a chance to go and play on the road at Portland, who have already pasted us twice this year.

Another Thing for Chili Dog Fans to Be Watching…

Whole we are somewhat in the middle of a playoff run (after this week, we’ll know whether we are really in the middle, or just on the fringes), there’ one more thing to be watching for this season.

Amidst our rebuilding, and somewhat lost in the shuffle of the big trade for Brent Sedor, we did manage to pick up three first round picks for next season. Two of them – originally our own and that of South Carolina – are going to be middling picks at best, as both of our teams are amidst the playoff struggle and neither is too likely to end up worse than 8-8. So, we probably pencil in picks at slots like 20 and 25 or something like that – good enough to land a solid contributor, but probably not a major impact player unless we get lucky.

However, our trade of S David Plata also yielded the top pick from Toronto next year, and things have not gone the way that they would have hoped this season. Witness the league’s overall standings – stage bottom:

2009 Regular Season Standings

W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Washington 2 11 0 .154 192 300 2-8 0-4
Las Vegas 3 10 0 .231 180 269 1-9 0-4
Fall River 3 10 0 .231 265 349 3-7 1-3
Norman 3 10 0 .231 235 302 2-8 0-4
Toronto 3 9 1 .269 253 327 2-8 0-4
Wheeling 4 9 0 .308 196 268 4-6 2-2
Davis 4 9 0 .308 276 289 3-7 3-1
Duluth 4 9 0 .308 254 311 3-7 0-4

So, at this moment, Toronto is slotted as the #5 pick for next year’s draft. Things can certainly change in the coming weeks – but they do finish with three straight road games, and the last one of them is against Capital City, the league’s most dominating team this season. So, there’s a pretty decent chance that this pick stays in that top tier – landing us a chance at a real impact player for our club.

It’s not that I’m exactly hovering ghoulishly over the remaining games for Toronto… but it’s not that I’m totally uninterested, either. So, here are their remaining games:

at Hudson Valley (6-7)
at Wheeling (4-9)
at Jupiter (12-1)

This week’s game is pretty big for them – Hudson Valley has lost two in a row to probably drop out of playoff contention, and are –87 in the PF/PA comparison, so this is a winnable game for Toronto, by my reckoning.

It’s also possible that Jupiter is on cruise control by the season finale, and they might field a team of backups. We will hope not -- they only lead the race for the top seed by one game, so we’ll pin our hopes there.

Something else to watch as the season wears down. In terms of putting pieces together for this team’s future – that pick is looming as a very big building block. Especially as we get into next season and get some sense of who on this team is actually going to be able to recover from long term injuries.

Week 15: South Carolina (8-5) at Chesapeake (7-6)

This is probably the biggest week in the history of this division. Honestly. All four teams are in the playoff race, we’ve got a real chance to get three teams from this division into the playoffs, and we are all playing one another this week:

8-5 South Carolina at 7-6 Chesapeake
8-5 Portland at 7-6 Dodge City

So, here is our game – we’re without our leading rusher, but I decide to go in with a pretty conservative run-first offensive game plan anyway. We’ll hope that FBs Bill Wunderlich and Charles Emerson can carry the load for us.

Run the ball. Stop the run. Don’t give it away. Win the game. It reads like a recipe.

Great game from our defense, once again – we hold them to under 3 yards a carry on the ground, that’s great. And we did it without our man in the middle, as Doug McKenzie was out injured this week – even better. I am amazed.

Wunderlich and Emerson were great up the gut, as we just played a good, solid game on offense. Brent Sedor continues to play surprisingly un-rookie-like in his debut season, and we have now ripped off five wins in a row to turn from 3-6 also-rans right into 8-6 contenders. Heh – if the season ended today, we’d be the #5 seed in the playoffs.

And that is due, also in part, to the results from across town:

Dodge City 7 7 0 10 0 - 24
Portland 7 7 10 0 6 - 30

Not that we have anything in particular against long time hated rivals Dodge City, but our best scenario here is basically to just cede the division to Portland, and allow them to knock around one of the teams who is battling with us for the wild card slot. And that is, eventually, what we get here.

Here are the standings in the conference after this week’s games – including seeing another WC rival Calverton slip into one of three ties all in one week:

NC North W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Norwich 11 3 0 .786 319 272 8-3 4-1
Calverton 7 6 1 .536 360 281 6-4-1 2-2-1
Ayr 6 7 1 .464 300 308 5-5-1 2-2-1

Chesapeake 8 6 0 .571 267 241 5-6 2-3
South Carolina 8 6 0 .571 324 274 5-6 1-4
Dodge City 7 7 0 .500 285 282 6-5 3-2

NC West W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Myrtle Beach 5 8 1 .393 228 268 4-7 3-2

Duluth 4 9 1 .321 285 342 3-7-1 0-4-1

So, this week basically couldn’t have gone any better for the Chili Dogs. We get a big win, and stay alive in the playoff race. All three teams we’re up against in the WC race either lost or tied, so we gain actual ground there. With two games to go, we actually control our own destiny.

And, just in case you remain interested – here is the battle for the top draft pick:

AC North W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Las Vegas 3 11 0 .214 203 295 1-10 0-5
Fall River 3 11 0 .214 282 372 3-8 1-4
Norman 3 11 0 .214 249 346 2-9 0-5
Washington 3 11 0 .214 209 310 3-8 1-4
Toronto 3 10 1 .250 267 344 2-9 0-5
Wheeling 4 9 1 .321 227 299 4-6-1 2-2-1
Duluth 4 9 1 .321 285 342 3-7-1 0-4-1

Washington will be gravely disappointed with a win here, but the rest of the order remains unchanged – our pick (Toronto’s) stays in the 5th slot, as they lost a close game this week. The Wheeling/Duluth tie is tough to call – I don’t honestly know how these tiebreakers work out, but it’s now at least possible that Toronto could win a game and still not drop a slot.

Week 15 – just what the Doggies ordered!

w00t!

Week 16: French (8-6) at Chesapeake (8-6)

Obviously a huge game for us, as we try to extend our winning streak to six games. The French Ticklers started off very strong, but have lost three of their last four games. They are a run-first team, with solid second year running back Martin Todd leading the charge. He’s gaining 4.6 yards a carry, and they ought to pose a real test for our top-rated run defense.

With Bill Briner back active, we will go with a platoon backfield, using Wunderlich and Briner in combination, and we will try to beat them at their own game. From the looks of things, I suspect we ought to be able to run on the Ticklers. That’s our game plan – try to win it in the trenches, despite an apparent talent gap in our respective offensive lines (theirs is far better than ours, it seems).

And so, we lose a squeaker here – the defense did its job quite well, but our offense was just too conservative and ineffective. A missed extra point, though? Ouch.

Thing is – the whole world just collapsed around us, too. Not only did we lose our game, but quite literally everyone else in the conference chase won their games, so we really lost a whole game to the entire field. Here are the relevant conference standings now:

NC North W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Norwich 11 4 0 .733 325 286 8-3 4-1
Calverton 8 6 1 .567 374 291 6-4-1 2-2-1

NC South W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Hell Creek 12 3 0 .800 378 212 9-2 5-0

NC East W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Portland 10 5 0 .667 365 319 8-3 4-1
South Carolina 9 6 0 .600 358 295 5-6 1-4
Chesapeake 8 7 0 .533 276 251 5-6 2-3
Dodge City 8 7 0 .533 322 299 6-5 3-2

NC West W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Myrtle Beach 6 8 1 .433 251 288 4-7 3-2

So… Portland has locked up the division already, so they are in. Four division winner slots accounted for. The rest is pretty simple, actually:

- South Carolina plays Portland in the finale, with a win they are in.

- Calverton plays Norwich, with a win, they are in.

- If either Calverton or South Carolina loses, then the winner of the Dodge City/Chesapeake game gets in*.

- If both Calverton and South Carolina lose, then South Carolina gets in as the #6 seed, behind the winner of the Dodge City/Chesapeake game who would be the #5 seed

* -- (If Dodge City wins, they swept South Carolina, and would win the head to head. If Chesapeake wins, they split head to head with South Carolina, but would have a better conference record.)

Also, in the race for the top draft picks, Toronto won their game this week, causing a shift in the standings there as well:

AC North W L T Pct PF PA Conf Div
Las Vegas 3 12 0 .200 213 336 1-10 0-5
Fall River 3 12 0 .200 303 406 3-8 1-4
Norman 3 12 0 .200 266 383 2-9 0-5
Washington 4 11 0 .267 240 310 3-8 1-4
Toronto 4 10 1 .300 293 365 2-9 0-5
Wheeling 4 10 1 .300 248 325 4-6-1 2-2-1
Madison 5 10 0 .333 225 289 5-6 2-3
Davis 5 10 0 .333 306 330 4-7 4-1

A totally disastrous week for us on the field. Hard to believe a missed extra point could ultimately result in the whole thing falling apart.

All for the lack of a horseshoe nail…

Week 17: Chesapeake (8-7) at Dodge City (8-7)

Big, big game. Probably a playoff berth for the winner, and the loser is definitely out. Big game, and I’m pretty excited to be playing our long-time rivals Dodge City with so much on the line. While we are a team nominally in a rebuilding effort, we have ridden a strong defensive effort and a decidedly un-rookie-like season from Brent Sedor to a place right in contention for a wild card berth.

Here goes.

So, we end up just barely on the outside, with an 8-8 record. It’s pretty disappointing to land there after just two weeks ago being at 8-6 and very much in control of our own destiny – but the last two weeks saw pretty much everything go wrong. We only lost the games by close margins, so it’s not like we fell completely apart, but everything else that could go wrong did go wrong, and we end up as, I believe, the #8 team in the conference at season’s end.

Incidentally, Toronto also won their last game, as (I’m guessing) Jupiter had a meaningless game – so that even hurts our draft position for next year’s draft – Toronto’s pick will be either #7 or #8 overall. Man, the wheels really fell off the Chesapeake wagon here.

Alas – a good season all told, and a lot of hope for the future. Much more post-season stats and so forth to come…

Congratulations to the rest of our division, all of whom are in the postseason!

Last season, I wrapped up with a fairly detailed position-by-position analysis of who played well enough to stay around into and through the projected “rebuilding.” I pretty much scrapped most of that when I got into the real decision-making, but it was an entertaining exercise, to some degree. I am hoping to do something along similar lines this year.

First, the big picture stuff – the overall team summary, a nice place to start:

So, I tend to look at my yards per play as the most solid underlying indicators of success on the field. I know that third downs and turnovers and the like are important – but to me, yards per play is a pretty good indicator of how good the team truly is. Here’s that nutshell, then:

Chesapeake Chili Dogs Team Rank
Yards Per Carry 4.34 7
Yards Per Attempt 6.07 29

Opponents Team Rank
Yards Per Carry 3.61 1
Yards Per Attempt 7.32 19

There it is. We developed a pretty effective ground game this year, with Bill Briner and Bill Wunderlich as the most talented running backs this team has seen. I think the yards per carry stat tends to be a little inflated when you have an effective running QB (as we do in Sedor, who posted 545 yards and a 5.6 average) but each RB was around 4.0 ypc, which is pretty good – and leaps and bound ahead of the 3.5 slot where our top two backs were performing last year.

Our passing game was pretty close to the vest, as I opted to use a lot more 2 TE formations this year than we ever have before. That was for many reasons, but it served to keep a lot of the passing underneath and safe, all told. (Might not be a bad recipe for a young QB in any event) So, the yards per attempt were pretty low – I am not shocked by this. At the halfway point, though, this was at 5.34 – so getting it up to over 6 by season’s end showed that we were getting more effective in the passing game as the season wore on, and as Sedor continued to get comfortable. Hopefully, the arrow is pointing up.

On defense, I simply can’t believe how well our defensive front played against the run. DE Alvin Hall is a star-caliber player still, but the rest are guys who would be considered fill-in caliber by most teams. A guy like DE Chuck Linquist, a relative afterthought pickup for us, probably turned out to be a huge acquisition for us – we gave up getting some added pass pressure from him at his DT slot, but he posted 51+23 tackles and was in on nearly 10% of the tackles when he was on the field – good stats for a 4-3 DT. MLB Doug McKenzie was clearly a huge signing, and ended up anchoring the LB corps that we thought was a team strength until injuries rendered us asunder. We stayed consistent, and ended up #1 in the league in yards per carry allowed – unreal.
The pass defense was pretty unremarkable, and I’m not shocked by that. Not a single double-digit “passes defensed” guy on the team which is disappointing. We had an average pass rush, with 31 sacks, and have young guys playing key roles in the secondary – so it’s tough to expect much better than average. I hade slightly higher hopes for CB Padgett and S Jeff McCartney, both of whom I consider to be part of my long-term planning back there. Alas – 19th isn’t bad, and we can hopefully build on that as we keep this unit together a while (I hope).

Sedor, Brent 16 QB 1 54 87 5 4750 56.2% 6.08ypa 18/10 PR=77.8 Key
Ross, Harry 2 QB 6 49 55 3 1940 ++ no action Backup
Beach, Rodney 11 QB 11 26 29 3 830 no action Mentor

So, I am quite happy at the QB position, really. Sedor is developing rapidly and had a great rookie year by my count. His ypa was a shade lower than what we got from the veterans who played last year, but there’ no reason to think it will ever be this low again. Ross is a solid reserve and fits in well with the team, and Beach is a cheap and stable mentor for Sedor. Very happy here.

Well, once again, I am very happy with the position, all told. Briner is pretty old, but unless he completely falls apart, he ought to be a solid enough starter for us for next season. That’s good. Wunderlich is a great utility guy – he’ll probably start again at TE but get time at HB and FB – and he’s capable of taking over the HB1 duties as needed – good to have in reserve. I like Emerson, who has settled into his reserve role. Adding a nice young RB to the mix would be welcome, but it’s not a pressing immediate need.

Well, Clyde Rego is a perfect guy for this team, really – cheap, affinity guy, adds to our cohesion as a multi-year player, and can start when needed. Good value player for us. I remain optimistic about young Robert Cooper, and want to get him onto the field, where I think he can develop – Joel Connell is an affinity lynchpin, but I’d love to bring aboard a mentor for Cooper, if I can do so.

Happy here – using FB Wunderlich in the rotation makes me very pleased to use a 2TE system. We’ll watch Cooper for signs of life.

So, as I sort of suspected, it was young Danny Napiecek who broke through and put together the best season among our wideouts, after wresting the starting split end job from Castellano. Interestingly, the thoroughly un-talented Jake Madison was substantially better as a starter at flanker than was veteran Justin Berkey. The ideal situation going forward would be that we get Castellano and Berkey to both re-negotiate down after fairly soft seasons, and we bring back the main four guys next year, hopefully with an addition or two for the future.

A place we will be looking for an addition or two – either an impact guy with an early pick (or FA signing) or probably more likely a role player addition who’d fit in our system.

Burns, Jerry 75 RT 1 30 45 2 450 +++ KRB 9/29 31/0% 6SkA = 1.1% Starter

I can’t say that I am thrilled with the performance this season from this group – our starters ended up under 30% in key run blocking, which is a bit too low I think. But I do like the way this is heading – I think we are going to end up with a pretty solid starting group here, without massive investment. Actually, left tackle Tilton look great in the red bars, but he has yet to really put together a serious star-caliber season for us at left tackle, despite his nominal ability. We will certainly endeavor to re-sign Turnbull, Schmidt, and Brandon and expect all three to come back and start for us, hopefully for years to come. Renegotiating John Houtz down to a fair salary figure is essential, but assuming we do, we have flexibility here – veterans like Kolodzik and Saladino can cit as backups behind our developing youngsters, or can be trade bait as both guys are pretty solid, in my view.

We could even entertain the notion of trading away Stanley Tilton – on the grounds that a guy like Kolodzik might be able to give us comparably mediocre stats at the left tackle spot for a fourth of the cost.

This is an area where we could use a young infusion of talent, for certain. I cannot at all be disappointed with the results from this season – we were average in the pass rush, despite selling out against the run to be the league’s toughest run defense (in yards per carry). Assuming we have no meaningful additions, we would probably go with the rotation that worked well this season – Hall and Kleinsasser starting on the outside and playing full time, Chuck Linquist as a full time run stopper inside, and then a rotation of perhaps Kershner and Shah at the other DT slot.

That assumes that when we finally see the post-injury Eugene Bradham, it will regrettably be a guy not worth keeping. If he’s even a substantial fraction of his old self, we will have a tough call to make there. He has been very productive when healthy, but after two serious injuries, I have to think he’s done – even if his ratings look okay, we won’t be able to rely on him.

Ideally, we land a promising youngster to help us out – really, either a DT or a DE would be great. Add in one quality player to this mix, especially a guy who can hold his own on run defense right from the start, and I think I’d be very happy. Target area, but we’re not miserable as it stands.

Well, we have big question marks at this position, to be sure. Certainly, Doug McKenzie has cemented himself right into our lineup as the starter in the middle. John Galvan has been solid, though not spectacular, on the strong side when we have needed him, so he ought to be okay. Longtime reserve and special teams standout D.J. Dennis held up okay when pressed into service – so we expect he will be okay too.

What about Travis Kuykendall – the guy made for this defense? What about Steven Watkins, the centerpiece of our affinity efforts and a long time starter himself? Both are totally up in the air after debilitating injuries this season. I –think- Watkins looks like he will be okay, and he might be suitable for a role as the weak side ‘backer. Kuykendall is the total unknown – he ends the season with the clock still sitting at 41 weeks following ACL surgery, so anything goes there.

If Kuykendall comes back as a shell of his former self and a non-factor, we have three starters (including Watkins) who should be okay, though both outside guys will have injury clouds hovering over them. Guys like Dennis and Wiseman and maybe Shepard are fine as backups, but I really don’t want any of them saddled with full-time starter duty if someone gets hurt – not even at the weak side slot.

So, we will cross our fingers for Kuykendall, a guy who was very much in my long term plan before the blown-out knee. Past that, it’s a possible area for an addition, especially with one of those late first round picks – I have had some luck with linebackers slipping to those slots in MP leagues before.

Well, I already have a long term plan in place here – that is to keep our current young foursome of Padgett, Scanlon, Schwantz, and McCartney in place for the foreseeable future. I remain fairly optimistic about CB Webb and S Vesser also, so we might have six young guys all ready to stick with this team for the long haul, which would be very nice. As much as I like Herman Padgett, he has yet to deliver on the field very much – and his ratings seem to be topping off, to my dismay. However, he stays in my planning, but we’ll keep Dixon Webb in the left side, just incase things don’t work out with Padgett.

We also, as mentioned before, will be looking for a regime change in the affinity leadership in this group, probably. Four of our young guys happen to be early July birthdays, so we might be able to bring aboard someone to build around with them – four instant affinities sounds pretty solid to me. That probably means adios for Henry Birkland, a mentor and position leader, who fits in with the old but not with the new. Stay tuned there.

It’s tough to see us investing here with out draft picks – we have plenty of young guys, and don’t need a crowd. The big question might be whether to re-sign Ferdy Nave, a pretty good player who fits our system awfully well, and a guy I really, really like for some reason.

Overall, where are we?

Right now, here are the players that I envision being part of a “core” of this team going forward – players I expect to be with us next year and for the next several seasons beyond, in whatever capacity (and in what season they will be next year):

QB Brent Sedor, 2
QB Harry Ross, 7
FB Bill Wunderlich, 10
FB Charles Emerson, 6
TE Robert Cooper, 2
WR Danny Napiecek, 4
C Winston Turnbull, 3
C Wendell Lambeau, 3
G Gus Schmit, 3
G Marvin Brandon, 3
T Stanley Tilton, 6
T Jerry Burns, 2
DE Alvin Hall, 10
DE Cornelius Kleinsasser, 8
DE Chuck Linquist, 6
DT Gabe Shah, 4
LB John Galvan, 8
LB Doug McKenzie, 6
CB Herman Padgett, 3
CB Billy Joe Scanlon, 4
CB Dixon Webb, 2
S Jeff McCartney, 3
S Doug Schwantz, 2
S Brett Vesser, 2

We will head into next season thinking about our defensive front and skill position players, probably in that order. We hold draft picks that ought to look like:

1(7) or 1(8)
1(18)
1(21)

If we can perhaps grab a “BPA” type of guy with that top pick (impact player pretty much anywhere) and come back with two need-based pickups later on, that would be fine. With three early picks, we also have the capital to move up to grab a standout player somewhere as well, which may be appetizing. Lots of options ahead, but I am officially happy with a lot more of my roster outlook than at this time last season.
