FOF8 - Jets Ascending - Empty Cupboard and Only Draftees - Now with the Miners!!!!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2048 NFL Preseason

I hand out rests and massage my depth chart.

I expect we’ll go 10-6 and have our first winning record with the Bucs in year 4. Gelenaw is better at KR now that Brandenfeis faded and I will start him there.

I extend Lemoine

Week 1 – At the Bills – My nemesis with the Jets! We win 29-21

Week 2 – Bye

Week 3 – Broncos – We lose 20-23

Week 4 – At the Dolphins – We lose 14-19

Week 5 – Raiders – We win 20-13

We are 2-2 in the preseason

Rookie Lookie #3

1.6 – CB Zach Foreman, Colombia, 50/85; 58/82; 59/84
2.4 – SS Drew Kempthorne, Georgia, 37/45; 44/52; 53/74
3.3 – FB Silas Bensen, West Virginia, 36/59; 42/63; 48/72
4.2 – RB Paxton Patterson, Virginia, 41/43; 42/47; 44/54
5.1 - OT Landon Horner, East Carolina, 29/45; 35/48; 38/58
6.5 – WR Ricardo Compton, Texas, 28/47; 30/47; 33/57
7.4 – CB Jerry Gionfriddo, Central Michigan, 21/44; 25/52; 24/34

Wow I thought Gionfriddo would boom and he fell hard. You can see booms for Bensen, Kempthorne, Patterson, Compton and Horner, so that’s good. And Foreman recovered!

[Abe Sargent]

Extend Brandenfeis? Nope, he fell to 43/43

Any others? Schultz dropped to 45/45. Nope!

I have 70 mill in cap. Any two years players I want to extend now?

Qb Abrams,150 mill, 5 years – I do so. No others.

Rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/ge7lMhR.png


Here is my 1.5 pick, Foreman! As you can see, he’s very very very studly! No weaknesses, strong everywhere.


https://i.imgur.com/zkvoFVI.png

Here’s Kempthorne! He’s a weaker stud but still a stud! I was hoping for low 60s not low 70s, so he very nice. Welcome to the team!

[Abe Sargent]

Green Page? Just Foreman

Rookie Investigation

At RB, Patterson is 6th and Wodarz 8th

At Fb Bensen is the best and if he hits 72/72 then he’d be the best FB in the league! (He’s be a TE at 88% of his value so if I hadn’t signed a starter then I might move him to TE)

WR Compton is 4th best in potential

At OT Horner is 5th best. OT Haynes the 1.1 pick I was hoping would fall to 1.5 was 56/87 and the best player in the draft overall!

After booming MLB UFA Adams is tied for best pot. Two others also have 69 pot.

Foreman is the best CB and d back in the draft and the 2nd best player overall to Haynes. After booming, Kempthorne is the best S and the 3rd best d back in the draft. This was a deep d back draft and there are 1 80s, 4 70s and 6 more 60s.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Abrams – 404 of 612, 4258 yards, 26:11, 92.7 rating

Those are all great stats by him. He was top in rating, 2nd in yards, 2nd in completion %, tied for 1st in TDs, and has a very strong season! Well I don’t have to worry about him like Pritchett who never actually did anything and I had to win through RB Bonnell. Great job Abrams and I’m glad I signed you to a 150 mill 5 year deal before the season because my guess is that after the NFL MVP and other awards he’d want more like 200.


Rushing

RB Lemoine – 381 for 1370, 3.60 ypc, 10 scores

That was tops in attempts, yards, and 2nd in scores. That was a horrible ypc performance. We have to get that up a 381 rush season should be getting in around 1500 yards.

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/kzN44KZ.png

I bet Wilcox was happy to sign with us and get another 580 yards, 6 scores, and get another postseason run to his credit. Cleghorn’s 1381 yards off 117 and 10 scores was 4th in yards and tied for 2nd in scores. TE Flynn added 695 yards as my top TE which is a solid number.


Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/ow7nlIk.png


Here you go with my blocking! It was a very down year for us as you can see. We have to do better here and it may start with me grabbing better O Line. I might make that a point of emphasis next year.

Special Teams

K Poston – 39 of 43, 34 of 46 PAT, Long of 58

Much more improved year! Good job Poston!

P Holdgate – 83 punts, 49.3 avg, 32 in 20

That’s the best Average again and it rose from last year. Dude is nasty

We had 0 returns for scores this year

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.imgur.com/6umv3vQ.png

Butler led my team in tackles with a nasty 114. Welcome to the club my WILB! SILB Carney was 2nd. A nasty 7 sacks by Hopkins, but Carpenter was held sackless and he dropped to 62/62 this year so my guess is that Adams will start there for him next year barring a stud that can change my 3-4 team;s heartbeat. As for D Line fun times, Pinkney another 8.5 sacks and Conyers with 5.5 and was stymied. We had an injury to Drew mid year so that position rotated over, no judgment here.


Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/51qa5dY.png

Several players grabbed 3 picks including rookie Foreman. I still need more pasdef from my club.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Cesar Lemoine – This is not only his first All Pro season, but it’s his first season with more than 1000 rush yards!

Def. Player of the Year - S Raul Boyd – Led my team in picks and was 2nd in pasdef with 11, and has s olid season. Good job Boyd!

Special Teams Player of the Year – K Rickey Poston – Dude wins an All Pro…

Rookie of the Year - CB Zach Foreman – Led my team in picks, and while I’d like to see double digit pasdef I understand the rookie. Good job rookie!


Heart Award – TE Francisco Dixon. Dude had a 100+ receiving day and an MVP as a backup. Good job!

I end the season, I score a 45?

Staff Draft


We draft 27th. I make no changes to my staff roster

We have 8 UFAs but none are worthy of tags

I massage my ticket prices.

I’ll see you at FA!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2049 NFL FA Period #1

My goal this draft is to target OGs and OTs at the back of the 1st round, likely the former rather than the latter. We draft 1.28. I interview OTs and Ogs but I doubt the good ones will fall. I interview a few others that may be there at the back of the 1st.

I have 39 under contract but I make offers to my RFAs of quality. I am at 46 players and I have 58 mill in cap space to play around with.

I extend my K, P, and LS which are all needed

Before planning my extensions I fast forward and look at who is available in FA


RB Anderson is back and got cut after his big 80 mill contract last year but I won’t make a play for him

I won’t be making any offers to anyone out there.

CB Gelenaw wants 25 mill for 4 years. Nope. DE Densmore wants way too much as well. I won’t be keeping any of my players, so all of my free cap can be used on extensions.


Final Years of Note

SE Braxton Wilcox

Old Rookies

OG Coffey – 9 mill 2 years
OT Shannon – 45 mill 4 years
NT Newman – 64 mill, 4 years
WLB Hopkins – 50 mill, 3 years
FS Boyd – 47 mill, 4 years

That’s a lot for Hopkins. I’ll hold off on these for now. I may draft replacements

Week 2 – Anderson signs back with the Panthers, Densmore heads to Dallas


See you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2049 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at the 1.1 spot is the Cleveland Browns who take DT Lewis Migette


Our pick arrives at 1.28 and who do I like?

SLB Rex Madison, very underrated, top player on the board, stud
DE Kenneth Davis – 4th best player on the board, Hard to Read, weak bars

All of the OGs I interviewed are gone. Two OTs are left but they are very overrated and overrated and don’t even have good bars to begin with.



I’m probably going with Madison, here let me show you


https://i.imgur.com/0tEyq5n.png

Look at this guy! He’s a hoss already by bars with weakness (sorta) in zone D. And he’s very underrated as well? A guy this developed who grows in camp could be the best player in the draft and he feels like a homerun. Now the position of least need is LB. but Madison could be my Burkley or my Norton that will unlock power of my defense. Carpenter is 31 years old and a 9th year vet and he dropped to 62/62 last year. Hopkins wants way too much money to keep for a mid-50s WLB so I’ll likely be moving on from him. I have Adams, Carney and Hunter and then add in this stud at SLB? He seems like the best choice.

So let me think about it and I’ll come back and see where I am with him later. This isn't a position of need, and I might want to reach for O Line.

I still could use DE as this is Conyers’ last year and I am going to be letting him go. Maybe I want to do DE Davis or something else?

[Abe Sargent]

I take Madison. He’s too temping not to!

2nd Round - Who’s still on the board? Let me check! How about OT Randy Blair? He’s very green!

3rd Round – I draft KR/PR WR named Brian Langlois to replace Brandenfeis.

4th Round – How about FS Darren Arpaijian? He’s doesn’t look that bad. Sorta like a potential grower.

5th Round – NT Emmitt Morton doesn’t look too bad although he’s more of a run stopper.

6th Round – Hmmm…not sure. I still need a 4th TE. How about Gary Benson? He also looks like a grower.

7th Round – How about DE Cory Lang? He has nice bars for the back of the 7th.

Rookie Lookie #1

1.28 – SLB Rex Madison, Kutztown, 53/89
2.28 – OT Randy Blair, NC State, 23/61
3.28 – WR Brian Langlois, California, 28/39
4.28 – FS Darren Arpaijian, Michigan State, 21/37
5.28 – NT Emmitt Morton, Liberty, 33/62
6.28 – TE Gary Benson, Oregon State, 21/41
7.28 - DE Cory Lang, Duke, 24/58

And there you are! Man I hope Madison breaks out as his potential shows and plays up to it!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2049 NFL FA Period #2

It’s probably time to replace Holdgate as he has faded to 52/52 and 87 kicking power from 100.

I have 53 under contract

I need a better LS, mine the long snapping has dropped to 88/100.

I make offers to these UFAs

QB Ray Santana
OT Carlton Hoke
P Terrance Bruce – he looks like a grower
LS Aces Kinney
WR Denzel Pujols
OC Edwin Johanningmeier – I love that last name!
DE Maxwell Cook
SILB Chase Whiting
Cb Raymond Fletcher

Week 1 – Woodard signs with the Falcons. We sign 1

Week 2 – Tito Bobo signs with DC. We sign 6. Brandenfeis is heading to the Chargers

Week 3 – We sign 2. Everyone signs.

Week 4 – Schultz signs with Cincinnati

UFAs

QB Ray Santana, 14/46
OT Carlton Hoke, 19/47
P Terrance Bruce, 41/42
LS Aces Kinney, 21/21
WR Denzel Pujols, 23/49
OC Edwin Johanningmeier, 14/58
DE Maxwell Cook, 14/49
SILB Chase Whiting, 21/52

That’s a big bust by Lang! I was hoping Arpaijian would boom but he’s going in the wrong direction. Good job at growing Madison! Langlois looks good as a returner but not much else.

[Abe Sargent]

Who do I want to extend? I have 62 mill in cap space – Wilcox dropped to 47/47 so not him. I extend OG Coffey, S Boyd, and NT Newman.

Anyone with 2 years left I want to extend? Cleghorn wants 118 mill over 4 years so I would only get two. Nope. I sign OC Macias.

I do not extend Wilcox, Conyers, Davidson, Nemecheck, Hopkins, and Shannon.


Wanna see my top two rookies?

Sure!

https://i.imgur.com/VEfQFAS.png

Isn’t he a brute? Nasty right! If he plays up to his ability the world will end.

https://i.imgur.com/feNrMRh.png

Here’s the booming Blair. He’s a well rounded but green guy and a quality addition near the back of the 2nd round. I likes him a lot if, again, he plays to his ability.

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page are both Blair and Madison.

Rookie Investigation –

Madison is the best potential player in the draft at 91. The next best is DE Lewis Midgette taken 1.1 who is 69/90.

At WR Langlois is 19th best. But he’s one of the best returners.

At OC, our UFA Johanningmeier is 3rd best.

At OT, Blair is 3rd after his growth

Bruce is the best P

NT Morton is the 6th best

Madison is obviously the best LB

Arpaijian is the 6th best S.

There you are!

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Abrams – 341 of 518, 3625, 24:7, 95.9 rating

This was a down year in yards and TDs but it was his best rating which led the league.

Rushing

RB Lemoine – 339 for 1161, 3.42 ypc,8 scores. He was 5th in yards not sure why he got an All Pro.

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/KIMiEcC.png

Cleghorn had a down year as you can see, although Abrams had a down year so that’s probably why. Vila had a solid year with 767 yards and 75 snags, and Flynn was great!

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/3mWQIKs.png

Macias was my team leader with KRB and locked in just 2 sacks which is pretty good. His All Pro is the first for someone on my line in 5 years with the Bucs, but this was a down year.

Special Teams

K Poston - 32 of 40, Long of 55, 43 of 43 PAT

I love the PAT % but that was too many missed FGS

P Bruce – 97 punts, 43.9 avg, 25 in 20

Not great stats for my rookie

Langlois had 1 PR RET TD.

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/dwnGu5N.png

Kempthorne led my team with 100 tackles and Madison was right behind him with 99. Madison rocked 5.5 sacks was my best LB in the sacks. Pinkney led my team with 12 sacks. Pinkney led my team with 5 FF.

Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/OqQBfyM.png


Kempthorne led my team in 7 picks as well as the league and his 10 pasdef tied the best on my team. Madison was 2nd with 5 picks and 3 pick sixes. Foreman 3rd with 4 picks.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – TE Carter Flynn - Despite his experience and quality, this is Flynn’s first All Pro. Good job!

Def. Player of the Year – SS Drew Kempthorne – He led the league in picks and got my first All Pro for S in a long long time. Davidson with his obscene pick numbers doesn’t have a single All Pro. Good job!

Special Teams Player of the Year – LB Allen Nemecheck – 26 special teams tackles, 3 FF, great job!

Rookie of the Year – SLB Rex Madison – Duh! During this entire dynasty I’ve only had three DPotY;s – DE Rieke, DE Shea, and now SLB Madison, and he is the first one not a DE. Nasty right? Right! Like I’ve said, a stud SLB will unlock a 3-4 as you just saw. Compare our All Pros on defense this year to last…

Heart Award – SS Morris Davidson – My nickelback notched 2 picks, 6 pasdef, 2 sacks, 1 FF. Good job old man!

I end the season, and I score a 55?

The 2050 NFL Offseason

Welcome to the 2050s!

The Cowboys have finished their relocation to Greenville, SC


Hall of Fame

No Abe’s Boys

Retirements of Note

None on our team, not even Wilcox!


Abe’s Boys

OG Dwayne Mota – Drafted by the Panthers, played by them and the Bucs.



Staff Draft

I retain my staff. We pick 20th

We make no changes

Do I franchise any players, namely Conyers?

Nope!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2050 NFL FA Period #1

We draft 1.31. I’d still like to target an OG here to improve myself. We have a poor class though so not this year. I interview some folks. Maybe a CB will drop for my open hole. I interview 5 OTs I could draft and then move over.

These are our UFas

Nemecheck
Wilcox
Davidson
Shannon
Conyers
Butler
TE Chandler


I have 66 mill available for new players. I may have been mistaken in letting Nemecheck walk as he’s great at special teams and he’s a suitable 55/55 as a backup and notched 4.5 sacks last year in a backup role. I’ll see what he wants and if it’s fair I may make an offer.

But first we have some business and it’s called Cleghorn. This double All Pro in three years needs to be resigned. For how much? 158 mill and 5 years? That’s a lot, but we have to make it so.

Who else is left to resign?

RB Cesar Lemoine – Dropped to 58/58, wants 53 mill over 4 years, reduce this year’s cap hit by 3 mill

SLB Carpenter – We’ll let the 10 year vet leave

TE Dixon – We’ll let him go as well

OT Hymes – wants 71 mill for 4 years, cost rise this year of 4 mill

NT Drew - - wants 18 mill for 4 years, has dropped into the high 50s. No thanks

WR Vila – Wants 77 mill over 5 years. Too pricey, but I do like him.

SILB Carney – Wants 55 mill over 3 years, Pricey

CB Miller – Despite 49/49, wants 42 mill over 4 years

I have 49 mill in cash. I will wait until post draft for Hymes as I could draft his replacement.

I might run into a better RB in the draft, as well as LB for Carey so I’ll hold off for now on all of these

Anyone I want to chase?

Nemecheck – 14 mill, 3 years – I make the offer and add 2 mill bonus

I am not chasing anyone else

Week 2 – Shannon signs with Denver.

Week 4 – Conyers signs with Greenville

Week 6 – Nemecheck resigns!

Week 7 – Wilcox signs with the Jets

Week 8 – Hopkins signs with the Bills

Let’s go drafting!!!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2050 NFL Amateur Draft

Are you ready? Let’s get ‘er done!

Drafting in the first spot are the Jags and they select QB Tristan Barlow

I fast forward to the 1.31 spot.

Who is available?

OT Keegan Briley, As Scouted – fine blocking skills, horrible endurance
OG Eugene Barlow – great run blocking, horrible pass, Hard to Read
OG Dusty Upshaw – Same bars but worse at run blocking as Barlow, As scouted
OG Eugene Tubbs – Better bars and more consistent but we have not interviewed Tubbs.
OT Earnest Farmer – Worst stat is run blocking which is average, but grows from there. Hard to Read
WLB Andres Arellano – Best player on the board, no interviews, and looks okay but not Madison-esque.
CB Brian King – Top D Back on the board and 5th overall player but bad bars. No interview.
CB Louis Parsley – Much better bars, no interview either.

There is an outside the box option, TE Wally Hammond who looks pretty good. No interview.

Arellano isn’t as good as Madison but with Carpenter’s drop Carney likely leaving barring a big contract, Arellano could be my replacement. But I really need a new OG.


So who do I want? Barlow? Briley? Farmer? Arellano? Tubbs? Maybe Hammond? Parsley?

I am a 3-4 and I can’t pass up great LBs. I do Arellano.


https://i.imgur.com/YRz2mMx.png

No interview but he’s the top player on the board and should play well for me!

2.31 – Who do I like here? I need a new backup WR since Vila is leaving at the end of the year and I could grab WR Billy Shelton. WR Vinny Mimick looks pretty solid as well if I want to dig into that route. OT Lenny Armour is a pass blocking specialist but could be a hold over for me until I find a better option. Parsley is still on the board so do I want to go with him at CB? I go CB!

3.31 – How about near the back of the third? How about WR Adam Henderson?

4.31 – How about here? I need a backup Qb better than my UFAs and only two have gone. I grab QB Dominic Tewkesbury. He’s very green but he’ll get some development time.

5.31 – What do I want to do here? DE Denzel Lemons? He’s good at everything save for pass rush, which is probably why he fell this far down the draft. I grab him.

6.31 – Or here? How about OT Shane Bauer? I select him.

7.31 – The penultimate pick of the 2050 draft is here and who do I like? NT Jamie Williamson? Cb Grayson Madison? I go NT.


Rookie Lookie #1

CB Graham Campbell

CB Brett Cavoretto

[Abe Sargent]

I have 52 mil under contract.

I head back to extension for my folks – anyone I wanna extend?

Here are my keys

Lemoine – I will let him go as I have Wodarz who is 52/58. I extend Wodarz for 4 years, 12 mill

Hymes – 68 mill, 4 years is his new demand… I keep him in his final year and then I can franchise him next year to see if I grab a replacement in the draft. This was a horrible O Line draft.

Vila – I’ll let go

Will Carney – I extend for 52 mill and 3 years

How about 2 years left? Those are Kempthorne and Foreman.

Foreman – 144 mill, 5 years – Wow – I’ll hold off

Kempthorne – 68 mill, 4 years - Done


Wanna see my top two rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/FD3CqqK.png

Here is Arellano who I am starting at WLB rather than Adams or my lost Hopkins. He’s solid everywhere save for play D.

Here’s my 2nd rounder CB Parsley, who is a decently well rounded CB on everything save for play D as well. He winds up a solid at the punching and the picking as well and is starting across from Foreman.

On the Green Page we have…Lemons!

Rookie Investigation

At QB, we have Tewksbury, who is tied for 2nd with 50 pot! Barlow is at 39/65.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Abrams – 336 of 536, 3796, 21:3, 94.6 rating

His numbers remain down but his picks are way down.

Rushing

RB Lemoine – 351 for 1364, 3.89 ypc, 10 scores

He led the league in yards but is ypc remains low. He tied for 2nd most TDs

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/u8eivL6.png

Cleghorn rebounded from last year and is back to 1000+ yards. His 1163 was 5th in the league. Lemoine had a solid year receiving with more than 500 yards. TE Flynn had a down year after his All Pro season last year.

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/jdqFgk6.png

Hymes started hot but slowed down in the latter half, and finished 2nd in KRB after Macias. He had a great block % too.

Special Teams

K Poston – 39 of 49, Long of 56, 36 of 37 PAT

10 missed FGs? You need to up that.

P Bruce – 87 punts, 43.7 avg, 30 in 20

Not too bad. Need to work on that avg

We had 0 returns scoring

Nemecheck had 25 special teams tackles again, and 3 FF

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/HZPuA1T.png

Madison led my team in tackles with 101 (he had 99 last year) and 8 massive sacks, which was 2nd on my team. Arellano led my team with 8.5 sacks. NT Newman collected 7.5 sacks which is solid for a DT/NT. Just 5 sacks by Pinkney and it was a down year for him. 5.5 for Nemecheck as a backup, and 3 for Adams as a backup. Nemecheck led my team with 3 FF.


Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/nv9JN5N.png

It was a down year for Kempthorne in picks but he still led my team with 4, and 9 pasdef wasn;t bad. Madison led my team with 15 pasdef and tied for 2nd with 3 picks. Good stuff!

Hall of Fame

None of Ours

Retirements of Note

None of ours

Other Abe’s Boys

WR Bryson Woodard – UFA we brought it with the Panthers and played with us a while with the Bucs. Retired with 2 Rings

WR Braxton Wilcox- Stud WR for the Panthers, 6 All Pros, 3 Rings – my guess is he makes it to the HOF

WR Marco Brandenfeis – Another draftee alongside Wilcox and was on both Panthers and Bucs with him. 2 Rings, 11 RET TDs,

OG Sammy Tatum – First round pick with the Panthers in their first season, 3 Rings, 5 All Pros. Will he be a HOF as well?


Staff Draft

I retain my HC and DC. We draft 23rd. I make no changes


We have 75 mill under the cap and 62 for other non-draftees. I franchise Hymes. I might extend him after the draft

I’ll see you in FA!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2051 NFL FA Period #1

I interview 9 O Line for the 1.28 pick. I also interview D backs for Boyd’s spot.

I sign my RFAs C Edwin Johanningmeier won’t sign as he didn’t like his lack of playing time. I have 45 under contract and 30 mill for new players.

We have these UFAs heading out

TE Dixon
RB Lemoine
NT Drew
DE Jordan
LB Assessi
WR Vila
CB Miller

OC Edwin Johanningmeier, apparently

I am not chasing any of them.

Hymes wants 48 mill for 3 years that would drop his cap hit from 16.3 mill to 13.8

Key Players with one year left and what they want

WILB Butler – 7.6 mill, 2 years – I do this
OG Peterman – 58 mll 4 years, Cap drop of 1.4 mill. Not yet, I need to wait post-draft
DE Pinkney – 39 mill, 4 years – not bad but I’ll hold off.
OG Coffey – 29 mill, 3 years, cap rise of 1.7 mill. Ditto Peterman
FB Bensen – 4.4 mill – 2 years – I do this
CB Foreman – 111 mill, 4 years – I do this as well

I now have 13 mill in space for new players

Anyone we want to chase?

Some of my guys are cheap – Drew, Miller, Jordan. I could chase them and bring them in! But football is a game of replacement not sustainment and I’ll let them go.

Week 2 – Drew signs with Houston

Week 4 – Vila signs with Augusta

Week 5 – Lemoine heads to Green Bay

Week 6 – Jordan heads to Augusta

Week 9 – Miller signs with San Francisco

Week 11 – Dixon is going to Carolina

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2051 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at the 1.1 spot is New England. They grab OT Rowan Gardner

We fast forward 27 picks.

We got two separate back to back Defensive Rookie of the Years in these back of the 1st spots.

Who is on the board?

CB Mike Bernard – Solid bars, very overrated
RB Sam Gaylon – Seems pretty good for this far back. Is he my new Lemoine?

DE Corey Moyad – I did not interview any D Lines, but a stud is on the board and I didn’t interview him. He is the Bap as well.
FS Ramon Strzelczyk – The 2nd d back on the board, decent bars, no interview


I could chose not to resign Pinkney and then draft Moyad as his replacement.

https://i.imgur.com/8HLa08T.png'

Here you go. See how good he could be? Not good against the run but he’s strong elsewhere. I take him. He’s pretty well developed and could be a real star.

2.28 - Who is left? WR Scottie Lane looks good. SS Antonio Grembowski does as well. I also like TE Darnell Riley. Flynn is down to 55/55 so could I find a new starter? I pass on Lane. SS or TE? I do TE. He seems like a solid replacement.


3.28 – WR Manula seems pretty good here. Do I want him? Wait… how is Antonio Grembowski still on the board? I grab him. He seems like a grower.


4.28 – OG Peyton Shelby? OT Tyrell Correia? Shelby.


5.28 – Hmmmm…. No obvious choices. I grab a good looking CB – Rodney Coomes. He looks like a grower.


6.28 – LB Dashawn Willis looks solid.


7.28 – Hmmm…no clue. How about the top player on the board who’s not a CB? RB Jack Winslett.


Rookie Lookie #1

1.28 – DE Corey Moyad, San Jose State, 55/75
2.28 – TE Darnell Riley, California, 34/60
3.28 – SS Antonio Grembowski, Bowling Green, 22/44
4.28 – OG Peyton Shelby, Mississippi State, 23/54
5.28 – CB Rodney Coomes, Virginia Tech, 32/51
6.28 – MLB Dashawn Willis, Montana State, 25/59
7.28 – RB Jack Winslett, USC, 22/34

There you are! In Moyad we trust! If he holds, he could be a major pick up for us!

TE Sweeney

[Abe Sargent]

Who do I want to extend? I have 30 mill free.

I extend Hymes and Coffey. Peterman is too pricey and I hold off for now.

Any 2 year players I want to extend? Like Blair? He’s 90 mill for 5 years. Done

Madison wants 133 mill over 5 years. Nasty. I do so. Back to Back Def. Player of the Years? I can’t do otherwise… He is the Abrams of my defense

Wanna see my rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/tSJyn4v.png

Here’s Moyad. As you can see his run d isn’t strong, but he’s good everywhere else and adequate in coverage. He busted to 68 pot, but if you told me I was getting a 68 pot at the heavily drafted DE spot near the end of the 1st round I’d take it. I am starting him across from Pinkney this year before he leaves.

Here’s TE Riley

https://i.imgur.com/KAIMbdb.png

He’s fine in the run blocking, food in pass blocking, and has great receiving roles and his weakest is 52 big play which is pretty good for a TE. If he actually develops to his ability, Riley will be the best TE I’ve had in this dynasty. I hope he can play like it!

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page we have Moyad 4th and that’s it

Rookie Investigation

I almost wish I had taken RB Sam Galyon at 1.28 as he’s a high 60s pot RB. Ah well.

Riley is the best TE in the draft, but another is 42/69.

This was a bad year for WRs, the best is just 58 pot. No QB has even a 50 pot. Yuck.

At OG, Shelby was the 5th best one. There was a better one taken just past us at the 5.2. Sucks.

Moyad is the 2nd best DE in the draft, the best is DE Alexander Benton that went 1.21 and is just better at 52/69. He is also the 2nd best D Line player in the draft as no DT/NT is better than 68 pot.

After booming, LB Willis is the 4th best LB in the draft – the Browns have the 2nd best and he was a UFA which is pretty cool. I wish I had seen him, he’s pretty good

A S, our 3rd round pick booming went to 3rd best S and 6th best D back at 32/68. The best D back Is 61/81 by Denver and the best S is 40/78 by our former team the Jets

Enjoy!

The 2051 NFL Regular Season

I think we’ll be 13-3. We were 14-2 two years ago and 12-4 last year and we keep flirting with it. We’ll get it this year! What will happen with our first season without our first pick with the Bucs Cesar Lemoine?

Week 1 – At New Orleans – On the road, NFC South, last year’s Super Bowl winner? This is pretty big. Can we win our season opener? We lose 16-26. Nope! Abrams was 22 of 45 and 263 and 1:2. Score by TE Preston. Pick by Parsley, FF by Arellano.

Week 2 – Jacksonville – We lose 29-33 – Wodarz 2 rush scores, Patterson 1, Abrams 16 of 29, 246, 3 pasdef by Parsley, 4 KRB by Coffey

League Awards

Def. Player of the Year – SLB Rex Madison – THREE YEARS back to back. Boy is nasty!
Def. Rookie of the Year – DE Corey Moyad – Three back to back Def. Rookie of the Years! Nasty!


All Pro 1st Team

K Ricky Poston

SLB Rex Madison


All Pro 2nd Team

Those are new awards for Wodarz and Moyad obviously. That’s Poston’s 2nd for us and Madison’s 3rd in three years. Nasty stuff on defense! This was a down year for us obviously

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive


Passing

QB Abrams – 349 of 595, 3994, 23:10, 84.8 rating

A down year for Abrams in picks and rating. He was 3rd in yards.

Rushing

RB Wodarz – 341 for 1164, 3.41 ypc, 9 scores

Wodarz was 3rd in yards, and tied for 1st in TDs. Not bad respectively for his first starting year.


Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/sFWriVq.png

Cleghorn grabbed me 1222 yards on 91 grabs but just 5 scores. Riley notched up a solid 714 yards in his debut and led my team with 7 scores. Good job!

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/3PoQ47h.png

I can’t fault Wodarz for the bittersweet debut as my blocking was down. 0 sacks allowed by Macias though! That’s pretty noteworthy!

Special Teams

K Poston – 42 of 44, Long of 53, 36 of 38 PAT

Just two missed FGs on the season? Great job kicker!

P Bruce – 91 punt,43.6 avg, 30 in 20.

Just okay again. Should I begin to look for another P?

WR Langlois – 1 PR RET TD

WR Compton – 28 special teams tackles!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/vrtgeOF.png

Madison led me in tackles again with 111 which is 10 more than last year. His 11.0 sacks are the best I’ve had by any Lb in any year. Great job! Dude is a weapon! Rookie DE Moyad just grabbed me 15 sacks and was 0.5off the leader and 2nd in the league. Nasty! Those guys? And Arellano was down with just 3.5 sacks but that better represents his talent level as he probably overachieved as a rookie. Pinkney 6 sacks in a injury riddled campaign for him which was good for 7 games. Arellano led my team with 4 FF.


Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/D3TnJAY.png

Parsley’s sophomore campaign was great with his 5 picks and 11 pasdef. We were down in other news. Madison led my team with 12 pasdef. Dude is a weapon!

Hall of Fame

RB Ronald Bonnell – This stud over at Carolina ruled the league. League MVP 4 times, and with 2 Rings, Bonnell was a true powerhouse.


Retirements of Note

None from our team.


Abe’s Boys

OT Kurt Gillespie – Starting OT at Carolina during their run. 3 Rings, no All Pros


Staff Draft

I resign my OC and SC. We pick 30th. I make no changes


Do I want to franchise OG Peterman? It’s 14.9 mill if I do, and we have 27 mill in cap room and 13.3 ready to resign folks so I doubt it. He’s too expensive.

I’ll see you in FA

[Abe Sargent]

The 2052 NFL FA Period #1

This year we really need to get O Line in the draft. We pick 1.20. There aren’t many good players, but I hope the 2nd best OG on the board falls to us as he’s very underrated. There aren’t that many good OTs either but there are three stud OCs in the draft that are strong. All three come back as As Scouted, and one might be there at 2.20 given how often they fall. I might cause one to drop to moving him to OG. I also use my last two interviews on RBs in case one falls. I like RB Shawn Kirk the 4th one on the board but I doubt he’ll be available.

I sign my RFAs. I now have 1 mill left to sign folks and a roster with 49 players.

These are my UFAs

OG Peterman
DE Pinkney
WR Compton
RT Horner

These key players are in the final year of their deal.


QB Abrams – 248 mill, 5 years, increase of 3 mill this year and moving up. Nasty!
LB Butler – Won’t resign as he’s 10th year vet
K Poston – Wants 45 mill over 4 years. This is a cap drop this year of 1 mill.
NT Newman – Wants 61 mill for 4 years, this is a cap drop of 3 mill this year. I will let him go despite the All Pro which saddens me. I may cut him this year…
FS Raul Boyd – Wants 40 mill over 4 years. No thanks – too pricey
SILB Carney – Wants 54 mill over 3 years, cut of 2 mill this year. No thanks – too pricey
DE Schneider – Wants 49 mill, 4 years. No thanks
NT Morton – Wants 10 mill over 3 years. Maybe if I don’t get a better one in the draft (he’s a run stopping specialist)

I extend FB Bensen by 10 mll for 4 years and WR Langlois

Anyone I wanna chase?

Compton and Horner are cheap, Peterman isn’t.

Should I make an offer for Horner?

I cut Newman and save 15 mill and I make a 16 mill 3 year offer for Horner. I’ll move him to OG to start for Peterman barring something unusual. That way I am not forced into a O Line at 1.20 if they all suck or I get RB Kirk or someone else that looks good. Or if I do grab a O Line but they wind up busting.

Week 2 – Peterman signs with NYG.

Week 3 – Pinkney signs with Chicago

Week 4 – Compton signs with Arizona.

Week 9 – Horner sings with us

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

Even with Hard to Read…can you pass that up? Even if he busts say 10 or so I don’t think you can ignore the Kirk ing!

I doubt it! I grab Kirk and I’ll see you in 32.


2.20 – I need a WR bad to replace Vila and Compton. Should I take Ken Chaney? Are any of the OCs here? Nope the last of the studs were taken 2.4. Ah well. No fall there. An OG has fallen though, OG Craig Johnston. OG or WR? I need both. I do OG Johnson (OG Gregory Austin looks good too but is greener). (DT Ken Mahoney is very draftable here as well).

3.20 – I really like OT Peyton Voinovich here. I take him. (OT Bryce Belser looks solid as well). They look like growers.

4.20 – SS Roderick Hutchins? Sure! He looks like a grower and is the 2nd S on the board.

5.20 – WR Dakota Lustyk? WLB Francisco Czech? (I need a WR) Lustyk looks like a strong grower too.

6.20 – Hmmm…who do I like here? MLB Jerome Bradford? Yup!

7.20 – Cb Gary Anderson? Done

I have 60 so no need to make nay cuts prior to the preseason.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2052 NFL Preseason

I hand out rests and massage my depth chart. We’ll start my top three picks. I hand out a ton of spaces to Kirk and I give him my 4th Wr and my 3rd in a few places as I have lost Compton and Vila but we haven’t brought in depth in WR as the last few classes were weak at the picks.

I move last year’s 6.28 pick MLB Willis to WILB and we’ll start him over Butler who has dropped a bit.

Week 2 – At Miami – Hello old friend! We win 25-6

Week 3 – LA Chargers – We thump them 44-20. Nasty.

Week 4 – At NY Jets – We win 20-17

Week 5 – Las Vegas – We win 33-17

We finish 4-0! Have we gotten our mojo back with Kirk?

Hello Johnston! I took him as a shower and he grew! 62 at the 2.20 spot for a O Line is about expected, right? But Johnston, if he develops, will be the best OG I’ve had with the Bucs! Voinovich did not boom like I hoped, so the grower didn’t grow and the shower did. Football is weird. I move Hymes to start again. I was hoping to cut his cap but that won’t happen. Hutchins grew as expected and I now have THREE Safeties with a 70+ potential. Not bad right? Right! I move Hutchins to CB and we’ll start him for Parsley, and then I’ll move Parsley to my nickel and Boyd to dimeback. Like Voinovich, Lustyk didn’t grow either…

I have 24 mill in cash. Anyone I wanna extend?

I extend…

K Poston


I do not extend these pricey people:

DE Schneider
SILB Carney
S Boyd

I have 20 mill left now.

Anyone with 2 years left I wanna resign?

Arellano wants 87 mill over 4 years, just two year extension no thanks

Parsley wants more than 100 mill for 5 years and dropped to 56/56. Nope. If I’m spending that cash it’s for Moyad, Hutchins or Arellano.

Rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/rd4VbP0.png

Here’s my stud Kirk. As you can see he has no real weaknesses, but his worst area is 54/59 third down catching. He’s fast and powerful.

Here’s my OG

https://i.imgur.com/ranETGB.png

I wish that Johnston was better at the KRB, but beggars can’t be choosy, right? Right!

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page, I have…

Kirk at the top spot! Hutchins is there as well.

Rookie Investigation

At RB, Kirk is the best. The next best is 52/66

This was a top heavy draft for WRs, with a lot of talent in the first round, but little elsewhere. 5 have a pot of 60 or more, all first rounders, and just 2 in the 50s.

All three stud OCs drafted are nasty good.

After booming, Johnston is the 2ndbest OG in the draft after a 39/76. The 3rd best OG in the draft was on the board at 2.20 and we were considering him and he wound up 34/71, so he wasn’t bad either.

At OT< Voinovich is 6th best. The top is a studly 54/83

At LB Bradford isn’t anywhere near the top 15, clocking in at 16th best.

At dback, Hutchins is tied for 2nd best. The top is just 41/74 and barely better than his 72 pot.

Now here’s the question….

Did I win the quinfecta? I won’t look yet.

The quadfecta is when you win these four awards in the same year

Super Bowl MVP
League MVP
Off. Player of the Year
All-Pro

If a rookie gets it, then they can add in Off. Rookie of the Year and notch 5 awards. I’ve only had TWO Quinfectas in my history.

You saw how good Kirk was in a few games this year. Was it enough?

Stats

Passing

QB Abrams – 325 of 558, 3436, 22:11, 81.2

We gotta get this guy back to form!

Rushing

RB Kirk – 377 for 1545, 4.10 ypc, 12 rush scores

Kirk was 1st in yards and tied for 2nd in scores. In 2nd yards was 1414 so he had more than 125 more yards. Great job!


Receiving


https://i.imgur.com/9sdU8h7.png


This was an embarrisngly bad year at QB and WR. Riley led my team in rec. yards and grabs! Where was Cleghorn?


Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/fcNOnjf.png


Macias had a great year in KRB, %, 3 pancakes and only 3 sacks allowed. Rookie Johnston was back of my line in KRB, but his % wasn’t out of line and he only allowed 2 sacks on the year. He has a solid year to build on. Shelby’s first year starting was fine, with my 3rd best %, and 4 sacks allowed for the guy.


Special Teams

K Poston – 42 of 47, Long of 56, 38 of 38 PAT

Perfect score in Pat, and missed 5 FGs. Good job!

P Bruce – 99 punts, 46.1 avg, 29 in 20

That’s his best avg ever for us

We had zero returns for scores

Nemecheck with 26 tackles on special teams.

[Abe Sargent]

Defensive


https://i.imgur.com/hbvnPeZ.png


Madison a down year in tackles, 10 fewer than last year, and only 6 sacks, 5 fewer than last year, but he was still studly. 9.5 sacks by Moyad who led my team, and 6.5 by NT Morton which got him an All Pro. Note Moyad’s nasty 40 hurries which was….2nd in the league. Arellano and Kempthorne led my team with 3 FF

Pass Coverage


https://i.imgur.com/qP9kosi.png


We had a lot more pasdef this year than previously. And a solid number of picks. Madison with 12 pasdef and his 5 picks led my team. 4 picks each by Foreman and Kempthorne. Good stuff!

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Shawn Kirk – He led the league in rush yards, and notched an All Pro and a Super Bowl MVP. Good job rookie!

Def. Player of the Year – NT Emmitt Morton – In his first year as a starter he grabbed me 6.5 sacks and an All Pro. Great job!

Special Teams Player of the Year – K Ricky Poston – He won All Pro and was MVP once. Good job kicker!

Retirements of Note

None on Our Team


Others of Note –

QB Wayne Pritchett – Our starting QB for the Panthers with 4 Rings, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, but just one All Pro. Will he make it due to the winning ness of the career to the HOF?

Te Carter Flynn – A key TE for the Panthers and then played with the Bucs a few years. Just 2 rings and one All Pro. Probably not HOF.

OG Raymond Coffey – Picked up us in the 4th round of the 2046 draft, he is retiring young at 29…

LB Vernon Carpenter – Played by the Panthers and drafted in the 6th round, then got a career renaissance in our 3-4. 1 All Pro with us, 2 Rings


Staff Draft

I resign my AC

I make no changes to my staff

I have 7 players that are UFAs and the only two worthy of a tag are DE Schneider and LB Carney. I do have 40 mill free for a tag, but I’ll not tag anyone and we’ll let both go.

CB Parsley – 52 mill, 4 years

I feel like Parsley is good money tossed away. I sign Kempthrone and Macias as they drop my cap and are All Pros. I’ll hold off on Homes, Adams, and Arellano until post draft

I review the draft for the 1.32 pick - I interview players that might fall there at various spots.

Anyone I wanna chase in FA?

OG Peterman is free again but I doubt I’ll chase him. Well, he’s better than Shelby. Is he cheap? 30 mill for 3 years? Not really. I’ll pass him by

Schneider is only 18 mill for 3 years, pretty cheap for a 60/60 DE. But my plan is to start Lemons unless I find someone better at DE in the draft.

Carney is way too expensive at 60 mill for three years.

I make an offer for Boyd, since he’ll be my 3rd best S and CB and I’m not bringing back Parsley. I offer Boyd 15 mill for 3 years.

Week 2 - Carney signs with Minnesota

Week 3 – Schneider signs with Denver; Peterman with Raleigh

Week 7 – Boyd signs with us; Butler with New England

Week 8 – Patterson signs with SF

Week 11 – Fletcher signs with LV

Week 12 – Benson signs with Miami

I’m feeling a bit of a draft right now!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2053 NFL Amateur Draft

Cincinnati has the 1.1 pick and they grab… QB Noah Grier from Hawaii. Good luck!

I speed to the 1.32 pick. Who fell to us?

The top 5 players on the board are DEs. Is one going to be my new Moyad? I haven’t interviewed any.

OG Rodrick Iwuoma, even bars, As Scouted.
MLB Levi Conover, okay bars not great, Very Underrated
DT Amari McGovern – He looks pretty good on the combines and could be a solid grower, no interview .
DE Cooper Cochrane – The best DE on the board by bars, 2nd best overall

My last 4 back of the 1st round picks have gotten four straight Rookie of the Year Awards from Madison, Arellano, Moyad and Kirk. Will any of these follow?

I am committing to D Line. Hmmm…………. I get good 60s size Des regularly later in the draft, let’s go DT McGovern the first non-DE on the board and looks like a grower.

https://i.imgur.com/AqWG6K1.png

Here’s my guy. He sucks at coverage and is only okay in things like run d and pass rush t, but looks good elsewhere.

2.32 – OT Steven Hanson? Is DE Devon Heilprin on the board? DE Grady Springer? I grab Heilprin.

3.32 – WR Louis Fairfield? SILB Amos Lai? We need WR badly so I go with Fairfield.

4.32 – OG Eric Pingeton? Yup!

5.32 – How about WR Emmitt Rombach? I need more WRs of quality so I do it. He looks like a grower.

6.32 – Hmmm… I need a 3rd TE. How about the best on the board TE Shaun Van Nus? He might have a bit of a grower in him as well.

7.32 – How about CB Maxwell Richmond the top CB on the board? Or CB Bert Fannon? Or MLB Shaun Hastings? RB Daniel Harrison? I do Harrison.

Rookie Lookie #1

1.32 – DT Amari McGovern, Tennessee, 54/67,
2.32 – DE Devon Heilprin, Villanova, 36/74
3.32 – WR Luis Fairfield, Tulane, 25/56
4.32 – OG Eric Pingeton, South Carolina, 25/54
5.32 – WR Emmitt Rombach, Arkansas, 25/47
6.32 – TE Shaun Van Nus, Mississippi State, 25/44
7.32 – RB Daniel Harrison, Charleston Southern, 36/47

There you are! This was a deep D Line draft and I grabbed two, so my hope is that McGovern grows and Heilprin stays and we emerged with two solid D line folks from a deep draft.

Week 3 – Augusta – We win 27-34

Week 4 – Pittsburgh – We win 23-20

7.32 – RB Daniel Harrison, Charleston Southern, 36/47, 38/48; 39/52

Rombach didn’t grow much and Van Nus not at all, but I’ll take the boom of McGovern and Pingeton all day long.

CB Maxwell Richmond, 17/52; 20/47; 19/38

I cut these players to get to 53

CB Richmond
WLB Blackwell
WR Krebs
WR Lustyk
OT Hartman
DT Meechan

[Abe Sargent]

I have 38 mill for extensions. Who gets one?

LB Adams. Check
LB Arellano. Check

OT Hymes? No, too expensive and long for a 9th year vet who dropped to 62/62

Any two year extensions?

The obvious one is TE Riley…what does the best TE in the league want? 68 mill, 4 years. Done

Moyad wants 125 mill over 5 years and we’ll hold of on that until next year

Wanna see my rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/utJR1n4.png

This is McGovern after camp and the preseason! As you can see Amari has a great run d, pass run str, and is good at thinking and punching, but his pass rush technique is only okay. He’s a great option down the middle and could really help my nasty D. Now…here’s the question…will he be my FIFTH first round Rookie of the Year in a row? I guess we’ll find out!

Here’s my 2.32 pick


https://i.imgur.com/SfpAvKK.png

Heilprin is starting across from Moyad and looks like a solid adjunct to my defense. He’s good in run d, pass rush technique, and okay at thinking and pass rush punchery. Welcome to the team!

[Abe Sargent]

These are all of the players in the league that aren’t kickers sorted by pot. As you can see we have 1 90, and 16 80s. Of those, we have Foreman, Cleghorn, Kirk, and Madison.

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page

We have McGovern at 4th and 5th is Heilprin.

Rookie Investigation

This was a one QB draft with a 76 pot, and then a single one in the 50s, and that was it.

The RB on the draft board that I was considering at 1.32 was 47/63 after the draft. Harrison is the 10th best RB in the deep draft.

There is an 81 pot TE taken at 1.20 that would be the best in the league if he develops.

There are no WRs better than 65 pot. Fairfield was the 5th best and Rombach the 7th.

The best OC in this draft was 57 pot. Wow

At OG Pingeton is 4th best.

Dt NT McGovern boomed into the best at his position and best D Line. We have 4 D Line in the 70s,and a bunch in the 60s

Hastings is the 7th best LB in the draft, and he was a UFA

After booming in camp UFA Fannon is the 6th best CB

Here’s muh roster!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2053 NFL Regular Season

I predict 12-4.


Week 1 – Carolina – We open with a home game? That’s weird. Please note that the 4 Super Bowl winning stud Qb for the Panthers retired in the offseason so what team will show up this time? Let’s find out! I have 3 questionables and 1 doubtful coming out of the preseason – We lose 20-24. Kirk was 26 for 123, 1 score; Abrams was 25 of 40, 266 and 1:0, score by FB Bensen, pick by Hutchins, FF by Boyd, 4 KRB by Blair

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Abrams – 332 of 543, 3569 yards, 25:14, 85.0 rating

He’s just okay for the last few years and I need to accept that. This is Kirk’s team now.

Speaking of which…


Rushing

RB Kirk – 408 for 2009 yards, 4.92 ypc, 16 rush scores

His ypc was up from last year, he had 500 more rush yards and 4 more rush TDs, and he led in rush scores and yards by bunches. Good job Kirk!


Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/UsnjyoJ.png

I don’t know what’s happening with Cleghorn…. Riley led my team with 920 yards and 3 scores – good job TE!

Blocking


https://i.imgur.com/RocKuQF.png

As you can see Macias dominated in KRb and was 2nd most in the league to an OG with 52, he led all Cs in KRBs. Just 2 sacks allowed and 4 pancakes. Macias is just a weapon for my team!

Special Teams

K Poston – 38 of 43, Long of 58, 43 of 46 PAT

That is Poston’s 4th All Pro season! Good job K!

P Bruce – 94 punts, 44.6 avg, 29 in 20

Okay


Langlois had 1 KR and PR TD each.

Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/OtkzHtB.png


Madison led my team in tackles again, and rocked a nasty 6 sacks, which led my LB Corps in sacks. Moyad grabbed a nasty 18 sacks, with that being the most in the NFL by 3.5 sacks. I was a little surprised he wasn’t the Def PotY instead of Madison. Rookie McGovern notched a strong 7 sacks, which is great for a DT so I thought he was in line for Rookie of the Year for Def. Heilprin with 6.5 as a rookie. With 4 FF, Moyad led my team. Good stuff!


Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/pIZtwTQ.png


Coomes and Grembowski both clocked in 4 picks, and Madison led my team with 17 pasdef and 3 picks. Loads of injuries on y roster. Good stuff team!

The 2054 NFL Offseason


Hall of Fame

OT Emmitt Kufahl, Miami, Dolphins OT, 4 All Pros, 2 rings with Miami


Retirements of Note

No Bucs


Abe’s Boys Elsewhere

None


Staff Draft

I retain my HC and DC. I make no changes



I have 12 mill under the cap and I need 14 for rookies so we’ll need to massage my cap. No tags for Hymes or anyone else. (Hymes would be 18 mill)

I’ll see you in FA!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2054 NFL FA Period #1

I review the OTs as that’s my main need for the back of the 1st. I interview the top 6 OTs and then some OGs and LBs and a TE

I cannot sign my RFAs until I’ve freed some cap

I cut Nemecheck and Horner and free up 8 mill. I sign my RFAs. MLB Hastings won’t resign with me due to complaints about playing time. Ditto C Dorsey. I have 45 roster and no more cash


Here are my non-backup players coming free in a year…

WR Cleghorn – Wants 120 mil, 4 years, cap drop of 10 mill – 29 years old – do I want to resign a guy without 1000 yards rec in the last two years?

CB Foreman – 29 years old, 119 mill, 4 years, 2.5 mill cap drop… Is this too pricey for a 29 year old player? Can I just let him go and lean into Hutchins?

DE Moyad – 122 milll, 5 years, increase of 15 mill this year – I have two sign this two All Pros in 3 years guy, right? Or could I just go with Heilprin instead and let him go as a luxury?

WILB Willis – 60 mill, 5 years – A solid price for him. Increase this year of 7 mill.

SS Grembowski – 50 mill, 4 years, increase in 7.5 mill

I cut NT Morton and free up another 5 mill, I cut WR Henderson and save another 5 mill

I’ll wait to extend these folks until post draft to see what happens. I’d hate to extend Cleghorn and then have a stud WR fall to us.

Do I want to fight for any of my UFas? Nope! Anyone else I want to chase? Nope.

Week 2 – Hymes signs with Denver,

Week 9 – Horner signs with Detroit

Week 10 – Morton signs with Indy,

I’m feeling a little…….draft…………….

[Abe Sargent]

The 2054 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at the 1.1 spot is New England and they take… QB Harold Bey. See you at the 1.30!

Our pick arrives…who do I like here?


OT Jerry Porter – Great pass and run block, weak elsewhere, Hard to Read
OT Cole Armendariz – Poor rankings, As Scouted
SLB Bubba Griggs – Top player on the board, underrated

Those are my only interviews still on the board. With the injury to Arellano I may not have him as a starter any more due to the knee ACL injury. I might want to target Griggs here. Or I could go Porter at OT which is a bigger position of need.

Here’s let’s look!

https://i.imgur.com/abYrfL8.png


Let’s begin with the top player on the board, Griggs. His weakness is Man to Man and pass rush tech and str. But Underrated? And he’s a solid body here. I could take Griggs and then cut Arellano when he comes back from his injury assuming a hit. (Arellano is currently 74/74) if Arellano doesn’t fall, or he doesn’t fall hard, then I can move Griggs to an inside LB role a SILB and move Willis to WILB.

On the other hand…

https://i.imgur.com/9tvXcj6.png

Here is Porter, and OT is a bigger position of need with Hymes leaving my squad. But Porter is Hard to Read and a gamble. He’s very green though.

Which would you do?

I'll think on it!

[Abe Sargent]

I have been looking for another OT for a while. I grab Porter.


2.30 – I’d still like a good LB. The best are MLB Colin McWilliams and WLB John Alston. Do I wanna grab one? I prefer Alston.


3.30 – TE Clay Sanford? I need a 4th Te for my team and he seems to be a solid one.


4.30 – There is a very green OG on the board named Norman Ramirez. Do I want him? CB Travis Hamilton seems solid as well, but I prefer the OG. Ramirez has good bars like my new OT but no combines to measure by.


5.30 – I need another DLine. DT Tito Crane? DT C.J. Luong? I do Luong.


6.30 – RB Derrick Burns looks like a nice grower… I could grab him and them if he grows I could cut Wodarz and his cap…


7.30 – OC Stan Baker? CB Brad Duffy? I go Baker.


Rookie Lookie #1

1.30 – OT Jeffrey Porter, Temple, 15/75

Contracts…

I extend these

WR Cleghorn
CB Foreman
LB Willis who will now end his holdout
DE Moyad

I have 3.3 mill left

The only one we didn’t extend of high quality is SS Grembowski

I massage my roster now that Willis is back.

Wanna see my top two rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/smGfmPn.png

Here is Porter! As you can see his block str and end grew and his blocking skills are pretty good. If he develops to this he’ll be a solid OT!

https://i.imgur.com/QUys8QL.png

Here’s my 2nd rounder SILB John Alston. As you can see, he’s fine with run d, and pass rush technique, but his strength isn’t a strength. His coverage is uneven and his thinking is better than his punching.

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page is… RB Burns who boomed and OT Porter


Rookie Investigation

At Qb this was, again, a one QB draft with a 37/71 at the top, and then a single QB in the 50s.

At RB after Burns boomed he is the best RB in the draft in the 6th round. Good stuff!

At TE Sanford was 2nd best after he held and others busted. The best TE is 46/71.

This was a horrible WR Draft with the best at 56, and only 4 in the 50s.

OC Baker is 2nd best in the draft

OG Ramirez is 4th best and UFA Devitt is 8th best

At OT, Porter is 3rd best behind two 78 pots.

At DT Luong isn’t even on the top 20 list.

At LB, Alston boomed and is sitting at 4th best. Griggs whom we were considering hard at 1.30 was taken 2.2 and is 59/82. Nasty.

Cool stuff!

Alright it’s time…



Time to move on from the Bucs. The Panthers, Saints, and Bucs are powerhouses, so the obvious place to move to is the Falcons, if they’ll have me. I’ll finish my postseason stuff and then move on.

This was my career in ten years with the Bucs.

2045 – 1-14-1
2046 – 2-14
2047 – 4-12
2048 – 12-3-1 – Lost Week 2
2049 – 13-3 – Lost in Super Bowl
2050 – 11-5 – Lost in Week 2
2051 – 10-6
2052 – 12-3-1 – Won Super Bowl
2053 – 13-3 – Lost in Week 3
2054 – 15-1 – Won Super Bowl

This was my toughest team with three years before the playoffs rather than 2 and a 10-6 season there were we didn’t make the playoffs.

Stats


Offensive

Passing

QB Abrams – 332 of 527, 3913, 31:10, 97.2 rating

Great rating, picks were down, that’s a record TD number. Welcome back!

Rushing

RB Kirk – 361 for 1569, 4.35 ypc, 10 scores

That’s leading all RBs in yards by 9, and has a down year in ypc, and 2nd in rush scores. Good stuff Kirk!

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/OaKMq8K.png

Cleghorn is back! His 1271 yards was 2nd most by just 5 yards. Good stuff! Riley another great year catching that ball. Kirk was 3rd with 552 yards putting him over 2100 yards from scrimmage.

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/oRaELZF.png

Macias another All Pro, and Blair had his first All Pro as well. Good stuff! Rookie Porter was fine with 16 KRB with 44 KRO and a better than average % and just 2 sacks allowed.

Special Teams

K Poston – 43 of 50, Long of 54, 51 of 51

DANG PATs. Good stuff!


P Bruce – 77 punts, 43.9 avg, 29 in 20.

Okay again

Langlois – 1 KR RET TD

LB Willis – 27 special teams tackles

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/k3k5jGJ.png

Kempthorne and Madison have swapped tackle numbers. Our most sacks was Heilprin with 12 which was pretty good, and came in 1.5 sacks behind the league leader. Moyad tied McGovern with 10 sacks, and as you can see, in a few years I have renovated my D Line. Nice right? Madison led my LB corps with 5 sacks. Willis led my team with 5 FF

Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/mFavedP.png

Kempthorne had a great year in picks and led my team in pasdef. The league leader in INT was 9 and there was just one person with it, and no one had 8 or 7, so Kempthorne was tied with the 2nd highest picks with 2 other people. Good stuff!

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – QB Alejandro Abrams – Dude won a Super Bowl and was MVP thereof, and got his first All Pro in a long time. Good job!

Heart Award – RB Derek Burns – Rookie RB with a nasty game spelling Kirk. Good job Burns.

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season… I score a 50…weird I know

The 2055 NFL Offseason

The Vikings have finished their move to Richmond

We want move to the Falcons, but they won’t have us…

Who am I going to instead?

Only three teams will take us… Las Vegas, Richmond, and Greenville. Who has the worst historical record? Who needs us?

Let’s try and take a team right after they moved and head to Richmond to take on the Vikings? They are also in the division with the heavy Green Bay Packers who won the Super Bowl two years ago


Hall of Fame

WR Braxton Wilcox – Our great WR with the Panthers, finished with 3 rings and 6 All Pros. Was my worst WR that filled that #1 role by talent but the most consistent. Picked at the top of the 2nd round.

OG Sammy Tatum -Was the best O Line during his run, drafted him in the 1st round with the Panthers in their first year, and finished with 5 All Pros, and 3 rings


Retirements of Note


From the Bucs –

S Raul Boyd – One of the oldest players with the team, won two Rings, no All Pros.


Other Abe’s Boys of Note

RB Cesar Lemoine – The first pick with the Bucs, three All Pros, no rings.

DE Edward Jordon – long time UFA player with the Bucs.


I’m surprised that Arellano didn’t retire on doctor’s orders -he dropped from 74/74 to 51/51 after his injury…


Staff Draft

We pick 17th

Our HC is Oliver Vernon and there is a much better guy on the board – Blaine Ferrell the DC from Arizona, with a suitability rating of 67.


At the OC our guy is Lionel Pinard, and he likes balanced offenses. I keep him as he is the best on the board with a suitability of 72.

At DC our current guy is Joey Parcells with a 62 suit and 43 Under. I grab the top DC on the board who is Giovanni Guthrie, with a 71 suitability and he likes True 3-4 so we will be building my 3rd 3-4.

The AC pick arrives. Our guy is Curtis McGregor and he is the best so I keep him.

At SC our guy is Byron Ramirez and he is way better than anyone else by 8 suitability so I make no changes

I make no changes to franchising anyone

[Abe Sargent]

The 2055 NFL FA Period #1

With a 4-12 record last year we pick #2. The problem with this is obvious. If this is a one QB draft like the last few, then we won’t be getting a QB at the 1.2 spot. We need either a 2 QB draft with two studs available for us, or a 1 QB draft where the 1.1 heads elsewhere. Drafting at 1.1 is New England and they have the stud QB from last year’s draft at 45/70, so we may be lucky here. Is there a great QB in the draft?

There are three top QBs that I interview and we’ll look at come draft time! They are As Scouted, Very Underrated and Overrated. I interview some that may be there at 2.2.

I look at my roster. Any Abe’s Boys here? Nope

I cut everyone.

I have 267 mill ready for new players. Over on the Bucs, they did not franchise anyone which is good news for us.

Abe’s Boys UFAs to chase

P Hunter Greer OR Terrance Bruce

K Rickey Poston

Te Bradley Preston

OG Peyton Shelby

LB Andres Arellano

MLB Will Carney

S Antonio Grembowski

CB Raymond Fletcher

CB Rodney Coomes

DE Denzel Lemons

NT Jamie Williamson

I make some offers

Arellano wants 87 mill so I skip him. Carney won’t sign with me as he played with us at one point in time and didn’t like it. I offer P Bruce

Week 2 – NT Williamson signs.

Week 3 - Shelby and Preston sign for less money by millions to head back to the Bucs. We sign Fletcher and Poston.

Week 4 – Coomes and Grembowski sign

Week 9 – DE Lemons signs

Week 10 – P Bruce signs

Arellano’s demand has dropped to 68 mill but no one is knocking

Who’s ready for the draft?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2055 NFL Amateur Draft

At the top spot, the Patriots take…they trade the pick to Buffalo who takes… ILB Jon Limbert.

That leaves us three Qbs.

Lets’ unpack the two that aren’t overrated

Neither of these are absolute studs.

https://i.imgur.com/aUqtGCP.png


We’ll begin with the As Scouted and top QB on the board, Denzel Morrison. He’s good at most passing skills, but his accuracy isn’t good at all. He is low on the scrambling, which I prefer, I don’t want him taking carries away from my precious RB.

Now here’s the next QB on the board…

https://i.imgur.com/DrR1lvF.png

This is Ryan Ferguson. Unlike the other option, accuracy is arguably his best stat but his timing os off. Unfortunately, this is a big scrambler. He has no combines to look at. But this is the Very Underrated guy. I hate drafting a scrambler and runner, but do I have a choice?

What do you think?

[Abe Sargent]

I go with Ferguson…



Now let’s BAP this thang…

2.2 – I enjoy LT Rickey McDonald. Want a good LB? LB Devan Fox seems like a good option. Or SLB Elijah Gray. FS Calvin Schwartz? I do McDonald.


3.2 – Do I like RB Rod McElroy? I think Kirk might be let go next year since Tampa Bay has a stud backup and there’s no need to push RB here fiscally. How about DE Graham Snyder who looks pretty nice. MLB Ricardo Flowers? I like Snyder.


4.2 – Do I like OG Herb Brand? What about RT Ron Rivers? I prefer Rivers. Also I like DT Colin Sica.


5.2 – WLB John Horton?


6.2 – DE Mackenzie Malewitz? CB Avery Terry the best CB on the board? I go Terry.


7.2 – How about here? SS Taylor Dunlap is good at Punt Ret.

Rookie Lookie

1 – QB Ryan Ferguson, Iowa, 20/72
2 – LT Rickey McDonald, Western Michigan, 25/71
3 – DE Graham Snyder, 32/63
4 - RT Ron Rivers, 18/59
5 – WLB John Horton, 34/68
6 - CB Avery Terry, Texas A&M, 28/56
7 – SS Taylor Dunlap, 16/48

There you go!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2055 NFL FA Period #2

I take a look at LB Arellano now. What does he want? 56 mill over 4 years. He’s only 52/52. I make the offer, I have the cash.

I make offers to tons of UFAs


Week 1 – We sign many.

Week 2 – Arellano signs with us. We sign many more UFAs.

Week 3 – The rest sign!

Here are my top 5 UFAs

DE Darrell Sellers, 11/60
DE Marc Magazine, 17/60
CB Riley Druckenmiller, 16/58

CB Zachary Roberson, 14/55

Wow. We also busted here HARD as well………..

I cut 7 of these idiots to get to 53.

[Abe Sargent]

Here are my rookies

https://i.imgur.com/JVqhOvX.png

Ryan Ferguson dropped. A mid 60’s QB might still get me there, but I’m not holding my breath. Abrams was my worst of my franchise QBs in the low 70s and he never really dominated. We’ll see what this guy can do after some development.

https://i.imgur.com/NWpX8kK.png

Here’s my only draft pick that did well. Good job McDonald!

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page we have those two players and none others.

Rookie Investigation

After busting, our QB wound up the FOURTH BEST QB. That’s sad. The best was 14/72 and was taken 2.7. The overrated one wound up 38/68… A 6th Round QB is just behind our 1.2 with 28/62!

This was a horrible year for Rbs, the best is 57 pot. Ditto TEs with 56. This was a bad year for WR. Only one had 60+ pot and he was at 62.

Our UFA C is the 3rd best

OT McDonald is 2nd best; OT Rivers is 7th best.

DE Snyder is 6th best DE.

After busting badly Horton is out of the top 20!

CB Avery Terry is the 18th best d back

Wow that was a bad draft….

Here you go! Hopefully he won’t bust! He’s not as well rounded with the rushing as I’d like, given his lower power inside, but beggars can’t be choosers.

I grab him.



2.1 - OT Jaime Bennett is okay. DE Adrian Crouse is someone who fell. MLB Jimmy Armstrong? I do Bennett.


3.1 – There is a great FB on the board – FB Bernard Morris. Do I want to grab him? Or OG Cody Storm? Or MLB Christopher Vila? FS Terry McConnell? I do Storm.



4.1 – I need a decent WR for now and the best is WR Christopher Glenn. Do I want to grab him? Or WR Morris Irwin? I prefer Glenn.


5.1 – DE Marshall Hailey? Sure let’s do it.


6.1 –FS Percy Ferguson? I do Ferguson. He looks like a grower.

Wow these folks busted nastily.

I make cuts to drop us to 53

QB Ferguson has dropped to 38/61…

[Abe Sargent]

Ready for my top two rookies?


https://i.imgur.com/pOBC51F.png

Here’s the 1.1 pick coming out of the draft. His speed held, but his power inside is also weak. He’s good at the other running stats and he’s an…okay…receiver. I’ll ride him like a pretty pony. With a 61 pot QB we’ll need to make this Londesbrough’s team.

https://i.imgur.com/AVy66JE.png

Here’s the 2/1 pick, OT Jaime Bennett. He grew like last year’s 2nd round OT, and looks to be a future star. As you can see he’s good at blocking as well as the pancakes of blocking. But he’s not very endurable and he’ll need replacements oftener than normal. At the 33rd pick in the draft that’s an acceptable tradeoff for a guy who’s this balanced.

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page we have those two and DE Hailey as well.


Rookie Investigation

There were no Qbs with a pot higher than 61 this year

At Rb, after he busted a bit, our guy is now the 2nd best RB in the draft. The best is 61/74.

At FB, if we had grabbed the guy at the top of the 3rd? He would have been 51/71, and I wish I would have taken him and turned him into a TE…

Three strong TEs in the draft


This was a weak draft for WR and the best was 61 pot. Our guy wound up being the 6th best in the draft.

The best player in the draft was OC Cooper Armstrong, a 53/78 guy grabbed in the 4th round by the Panthers.

At OG, the best has 64 pot, just four more than our guy at 2nd.

After booming, OT Bennett is the best one. There are two more right behind him at 68 pot.

DT Garibaldi was the 4th best DT, and DE Hailey was the 3rd best DE

This was a weak LB draft. Only 3 in the 60s.

FS Ferguson was the 4th best S and 6th best D back in the draft

I check out WR. There is a Hard to Read stud WR and I interview elsewhere to see if I can find a decent 2.1.

There is a stud P that’s underrated that I like called Liam Gonzalez. This appears to be a solid WR draft and I might get a decent one at 2.1. I interview three Stud Qbs. Do I take another QB and let Ferguson go?

The 2057 NFL Amateur Draft

Alright, let’s look at who I am considering.

https://i.imgur.com/vtXwYu7.png

Here is the top WR and as you can see, he’s well rounded and has a Hard to Read rating. Normally, you’d do it, right?

https://i.imgur.com/gAwPEba.png

And here is Kennedy a stud QB that’s underrated. He’s good at everything other than deep passes.


Who do you go with? The stud QB who’s much better than Ferguson or a maybe stud WR? Which one do you do? Is taking Kennedy throwing good money after bad?

Ferguson has dropped to 47/59.

……….

I can find WRs I can’t find a Kennedy.

Which one would you do?

[Abe Sargent]

I need a stud QB more. I draft Kennedy.



2.1 –TE Jay Walters? MLB Enrique Sheldon? SS DeAndre DeVault? I need good LBs so I grab Sheldon, who looks like a grower.


3.1 – WR Alfredo Filar? OG Walter Graybill? DT Robert Dunlap? Or DT Owen Plumier for that matter. I like Plumier. Let’s do Plumier.


4.1 – P Liam Gonzalez is on the board and I take him.


5.1 – WR Rickey Reynolds? I do it.


6.1 – Cb Lonnie Rosario? MLB Sam Cunningham? I grab MLB.


7.1 – FS Corey Andrews? I grab him. He looks like a grower.

Well Kennedy didn’t fall (much) and Sheldon grew as expected. Plumier was a surprise as I thought he was a shower, and a 68 DT a the top of the 3rd was a good investment, but he grew 11 pot. I am surprised that Andrews didn’t grew as much as I thought he would, but he did grow.

I extend these players from my first draft: OT McDonald, DE Snyder. They were a little over 200 mill total over a ton of years.

Wanna see my top two rookies?

Okay!

https://i.imgur.com/GY4Soxw.png

Here is the admittedly green Kennedy who looks much better than QB Ferguson. He’s the future of our franchise! Hopefully.

https://i.imgur.com/YQ6mw4r.png

Here is my top pick in the 2nd round LB Sheldon which I moved to SLB. He’s not good at the pass rush or tech or punching, but he’s fine against the coverage, and run and play D and hitting.

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page we have Kennedy, Plumier, and P Gonzalez! That’s the first time I’ve seen a P on The Green Page!

Rookie Investigation

At QB, Kennedy is the best QB by potential and the best BQ in the league by potential. There is a 29.78 guy right behind him as well who was taken by Miami at the 1.5 spot. And that’s it, no other QB has more than 50 pot.

This was a weak draft for RB.

TE Walters we were thinking of taking at 2.1 wound up being a 45/72 guy. Had I known that I would have grabbed him!

This was a top heavy WR. Three 70+ WR, 4 60+, but just 2 50+, one of which was our WR. Blackburn, that we were looking at with the 1. 1 spot wound up busting a bit and was 46/66.

Remember OG Graybill we were looking at at 3.1? He wound up the best OG in the draft at 27.72. Blast! Again, I wish I would have known that…

This was a one OT draft with one in the mid-60s and then just 3 in the 50s.

Owen Plumier boomed into the best NT in the draft and the best D Line.

At LB Sheldon boomed into the 2nd best LB in the draft. LB Cunningham was 7th best

I liked SS DeVault at the 2.1 and he wound up as a studly 51.81 and the 2nd best d back in the draft. I might have grabbed him instead had I known.


Gonzalez is the best P in the draft, the best P in the league and…the best PLAYER in the league at any position.

Cool!

The 2057 NFL Regular Season

As this is likely another high loss season due to my very poor first draft and rookie QB again, I’ll be fast simming again with me fleshing out wins only.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Kennedy – 323 of 491, 3172, 15:16, 80.4 ratng

Much better than QB Ferguson in his rookie year!


Rushing

RB Londesbrough – 302 for 1388, 4.60 ypc, 8 scores

Londesbrough was 2nd in the league in yards and tied for 4th in TDs. The league leader in yards was 1413 so not that far off.

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/MsLrgZk.png

Glenn finished with 1000+ yards with a rookie QB starting. Kennedy is much better! Only six WR in the league grabbed 1000 yards or more, so Glenn had a strong year! You can see Bensen’s 3 scores and 270 yards. I wish Londesbrough had had a better year in receiving this year which may have led to no All Pro.


Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/cYlVTwB.png


As you can see, Macias led in KRB again this year, but has more than last. Good stuff Macias! His block % was lethally good. Just 3 sacks on a rookie Qb.

Special Teams

K Poston – 23 of 33, :Long of 55, 27 of 27 PAT

10 missed FG? We can’t have that Poston.

P Gonzalez – 85 punts, 49.8 AVG, 41 in 20

That was the best avg in the league and an almost 50% in 20 was great. He was robbed of All Pro…

We had no RET TDs this year

OT Rivers led my team with 24 special teams tackle despite being out.

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.imgur.com/6wCtetZ.png

Grembowski and Willis tied for 110 tackle each. Willis grabbed ne 2 sacks and rookie Sheldon 2. We had a worse year in sacks this year than last. We need to get better in the sackage. With 5 FF, Ferguson led my team in FF again


Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/0G1bKdl.png


We had a down year in picks last year, but this one? Wow. That was sucky.

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – FB Silas Bensen – This was his first All Pro after dropping to 52/52. Good stuff 10 year vet!

Def. Player of the Year – FS Percy Ferguson – Led my team in 5 FF by 3 and pasdef by 4. Good stuff!

Special teams Player of the Year – P Liam Gonzalez – I also like him for Rookie of the Year, but he was a weapon in the punting game. Good stuff rookie!

Rookie of the Year – SLB Enrique Sheldon – He finished 3rd on my team with tackles, tied for 1st in picks, notched 6 pasdef, and grabbed me 2 sacks. Good stuff rookie!

Heart Award – WR Cornelius Fina – He finished with a 100+ yard game, 493 yards, 2 scores and looked good for my top backup WR.

[Abe Sargent]

Previously I make it to my first winning season in year 3 of my dynasties. With the Bucs, it wasn’t until season 4, but my 3rd season we had enough wins to get top 10 pick but not the worst record. We had a not-great RB in Lemoine I took at the top of the 1st round that wasn’t ever dominant and busted. Here in Richmond we had a bustish QB despite the very underrated record that dropped from the heights to an okay signal caller. Now I redrafted a QB in year 3. How will that set me behind? Will we struggle in Year 4 to win as well?

Let’s find out~

I end the season and score a 19


The 2048 NfL Offseason

I am given a warning to begin winning by the owner.

Hall of Fame

None


Retirements of Note

Richmond Rattlesnakes?

None

Tampa Bay Bucs?

None either

Other Abe’s Boys

WR Drake Storm – UFA with the Bucs who played most of his career with the Pats.

NT Alexis Drew – Solid NT with the Bucs. Finished without any Rings or awards.

SLB Allen Nemecheck – A stud special teams ace that I had with the Bucs for a long time. 2 Rings



Staff Draft

I retain most of my staff and give them raises. We draft 23rd and….

I hire a new HC – this guy has a suitability of 74 vs my 64. My new HC is Eddie Dubroc, a 45 year old who loves RBs.

While at it I hire a better DC, Jordan Phillips also a True 3-4 guy with a better scouting and 4 better suitability rating.

I make no other changes.

Remember I cannot make changes once we begin to win as that wouldn’t make sense in real life. But after a 3-13 and 3rd consecutive losing season with the same staff? That’s VERY realistic!

I don’t franchise anyone.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2058 NFL FA Period #1


I review the draft. Do I have a stud WR to pick from this time? Nope we sure don’t…


We have two studs to choose from! One underrated…

I interview some players that might still be on the board at the 2.1 spot such as OG, OC, LB, and TE and WR.


I sign all of my RFAs save for that awful RB. I have 52 under contract and 75 free for new players.

Who is the final year of their deal that I might want to extend?


K Poston – I’ll wait until post draft and camp to resign
C Macias – Ditto
TE Preston – Too old and expensive to resign right now, I’ll hold off for him as well
OG Shelby – Ditto Preston
SS Grembowski – Ditto Preston comments
WR Fairfield – I’ll not extend for now
QB Ferguson – Too pricey to be a good backup
OT Rivers – Backup may not need extending
DE Lemon -Will let go


I extend backup CB Avery Terry for three years and 16 mill total.


Tons of other okay backups. Not right now.

Any UFAs I wanna chase?


These are free

TE Clay Sanford, wants 105 mill over 5 years.

Stud OT Jeffrey Porter, wants 81 mill over 5 years

That’s it. I could sign them both and spend around 200 mill and get a 60/60 TE and a stud OT that I could move to OG. However I was hoping to grab a stud OG in this draft for Shelby or a good TE.

I chase both. I have the cap space.

Week 2 – Porter signs. I move him to OG

Week 6 – Sanford signs with us

Let’s head to ye olde draft

[Abe Sargent]

The 2058 NFL Amateur Draft

We are up!

Here are the two WRs that are stud-like.

https://i.imgur.com/vHzGrwh.png

This is Heath Watson, he likely top pick by me. He’s good everywhere with a dip in downfielding, and underrated. Nice right?

https://i.imgur.com/DwNeFZS.png

And here is the other WR at the top of ye old draft and the 2nd best WR there. Gamez is worse at ball adjustment and is Hard to Read. However, he is good as KR which I need another on my team. My KR is WR Fina and he’s 62 in KR. But I like two as you’ll get two KRs running around.



I’ll take Watson…

2.1 – No TEs have gone off the board. I could grab TE Louis Trabosh or Ricky Moy. I like Moy more. The stud OC we were targeting went off the board at 1.19. WLB Edwin Cobbins is the best LB on the board. I go TE and grab Moy.


3.1 – I could grab the 2nd best OC on the board as no others have been taken - Dustin Bissett. Let’s do it.


4.1 – K Cris Kanpurwala is still on the board and looks like a stud… Do I wanna replace Poston? He’s older. I grab him.


5.1 – FS Devante Westbrook seems pretty solid.


6.1 – How about R.J. Woodson a SILB?
 
https://i.imgur.com/ODaEuEf.png

I interviewed him and he’s still on the board! Very underrated but bad bars.


7.1 – DT Pat Kennedy? OG Bernie Woods? I take Woods.


Rookie Lookie #1

1.1 - WR Heath Watson, Ohio State, 47/83
2.1 – TE Rickey Moy, Cal – Poly, 41/68
3.1 – OC Dustin Bissett, Utah State, 34/52
4.1 – K Cris Kanpurwala, Kansas, 55/85
5.1 – S Devante Westbrook, Wake Forest, 24/63
6.1 – ILB R.J. Wilson, Notre Dame, 22/57
7.1 – OG Bernie Woods, Memphis, 21/53

Solid Stuff!

7.1 – OG Bernie Woods, Memphis, 21/53; 24/52; 23/44

Wilson busted despite his very underrated? I didn’t see that. I have moved Westbrook to CB. I thought Bissett would boom more than 5 and contend with Macias. Woods dropped sadly.

UFAs

DT Pat Kennedy, 32/70; 37/70; 38/66
WR Albert Bennett, 20/47; 23/44; 23/37

WR Shannon Deyo, 25/46; 27/45; 23/41
Cb Ezekiel Drake, 23/49; 27/49; 29/51


Well, I wanted to move Kennedy to DE but couldn’t. I can’t use a 2nd good NT. Drake actually rose. Weird I know. Drake’s numbers in returning are 60/68 Pr and 36/45 KR, and I have a better KR at Deyo (55/76).

I cut these players to get to 53

TE Gary McLellan
C Ralph Ahn
FS Corey Andrews
CB Raymond Fletcher
WR Cornelius Fina
WR Irving Parker

[Abe Sargent]

Who do I extend?

Not QB Ferguson, OC Macias, TE Preston, OG Shelby, several backups.

I do sign some backups

I hold off on the 55 mill 4 years Grembowski would cost and instead I will franchise him next year for a year while I try to find another good D back.

Any good 2 years left? RB Londesbrough has dropped to 67/67 and wants 134 mill over 5 years which I do. I extend OT Bennett for 4 years and 56 mill. Ditto FS Ferguson for 49 mill 4 years

Wanna see my top two choices?

Your wish is my command!

Here is Watson

https://i.imgur.com/E0SjqpI.png

This is the well rounded Watson, and you can see that he has no real weaknesses nor is he poor at anything save kick returns. Good stuff rookie!

https://i.imgur.com/pvMOByJ.png

Here’s my 2.1 pickup TE Moy. He’s my first stud level TE that’s not a FB I converted. You can see him here and he’s good at run B and blocking str, and he’s fine at the catching. Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Green Page? We have Watson, Westbrook, and Kennedy on the Green Page.

Rookie Investigation

This was a one QB draft with 1 QB of 22/70, another at 29/56 and then the next is down to 45 pot. Nasty.

At WR we had the best player with Watson. Gamez was right behind him with 56/77, and a 3rd WR came in 45/67 and a 4th 54/64, so there were 4 solid WRs in the draft and we could have gone Gamez and we wouldn’t have been disappointed. Wanna know something cool? If Watson hits 80, then he’ll be the best WR in the league. Gamez will be 2nd best. Prior to this the best WR in the league were in the low 70s. it reminds me of Kirk Barber and his QB both of whom were the best in the league with the Jets.

This was not good for Rb as the best was 61 pot

At TE, remember the other person at 2.1 that hadn’t been taken along with Moy, Trabash? He also finished with the 71 pot, so they were equal. He was grabbed by the Browns at 2.4.

Without the boom I expected, OC Bissett finished 5th best.

At OG, we had 3 studs of 70+ and 4 of 60+

This was a one OT draft with a 72 pot and then the next was 53

My K was the best in the draft

DT Kennedy is the best in the draft

RJ Woodson is 8th best LB in the draft

Westbrook is the 2nd best d back in the draft

Good stuff!

The 2058 NFL Regular Season

This year I still think we’ll be a little slower and get a record I haven’t gotten yet in this campaign. What is it? 8-8. I know that’s an odd prediction since I haven’t had it in decades of play, but that’s my best guess. With our bad first draft and UFAas busts all over Monday, and a sophomore very green QB in year 2 only having a 41 current ability, I don’t think we’ll be blowing up the leader board. We are also in the rough NFC North and that will lose us a game or two we might win in our first winning season. 8-8 with my normal +/- 1 game, so 7-9 (which we’ve never had either) or 9-7 (which I’ve only had once in Year 3 with Miami). Shoot I’ve only had one 6-10 season (year 2 Carolina) and one 5-11 season (Year two with the Jets). (I also don’t have an 0-16 season and my first 1-15 season was year 1 with Richmond just a few years ago).

Here were my Bowls I’ve won

Jets – 10 years, 2 Bowls
Dolphins – 9 Years, 3 bowls
Panthers – 7 years, 2 bowls
Bucs – 10 years, 2 Bowls
Vikings/Rattlesnakes – 3 years…

So I have 9 Bowls across 5 teams in 39 years, which feels pretty solid to me, right?

Do I wanna skip through the losses this season? I enjoy the deep dive into the game as I do it but it adds a lot of time to the dynasty and I never reread them when I go back and reread these later I skip by them. What do you do with my game reviews?

We’ll slow go this one and invest time into it. Year 4 should be our first winning season, or at least our first competitive one…

But let’s find out!!!!

Week 1 – Chicago – We open with a home game against last year’s Super Bowl winner… Like I said, playing against three teams with Super Bowls, playoffs, and good records in the NFC South will give me losses that I might take home otherwise. We win! 40-38! Wow! MVP is K Kanpurwala with 4 of 4 FGs. Londesbrough was 19 of 95. Kennedy? 23 of 37, 198, 2:1. Scores by Glenn and Londesbrough. Pick six by rookie Westbrook. 2 FF by Snyder, 1 by Plumier, FF rec by Plumier, 2 sacks by Snyder.

Good stuff!

Week 2 – New York Jets – We win 34-14. MVP was CB Avery Terry with TWO PICK SIXESs. Wow! Londesbrough 24 for 105, Kennedy 21 of 32, 267 and 2:1. Scores by Glenn and Deyo.

FB Bensen is out and I massage my roster.

Week 3 – Atlanta – We lose 23-7. Londesbrough, 15 for 97 and 1 score, Kennedy, 18 for 33, 243, 0:2, Watson 7 for 110 yards, his first 100+ game in his career. Pick by Ferguson. FF by Willis. 3 pasdef by CB Wright.


Week 4 – At Raleigh – We win 14-10. MVP is Kennedy with 17 of 29, 245 and 2:0. Glenn was 5 for 105 and 1 score the other score by RB Harvey. Londesbrough is 24 for 137, FF by LB Sellers and DE Hailey. 2 sacks by LB Sellars. 4 KRb by Macias

We are 3-1 and looking pretty…

[Abe Sargent]

Week 5 – At Green Bay – Uh oh… We lose 8-22. Londesbrough 21 for 143, rush score by Ferguson who was starting for a banged up Kennedy (who finishes probable),

Week 6 – BYE

FB Bensen is back and I change my roster around.

Week 7 – At Greenville – We lose 31-36. Londesbrough, 19 for 124 and 2 scores, rush score by Kennedy, who was 31 of 45, 366 and 1:1. Glenn was 8 for 120, Moy was 7 for 115 and 1 score, FF by Ferguson, 6 KRB by OT McDonald.

WR Deyo is out for a few weeks. WR Bennett will start for him.

Week 8 – DC – We win 27-13. MVP is Kennedy, 25 of 35, 262, 2:0. RB Harvey a score. Glenn 7 for 110 and 1 score, score by Reynolds, pick by Westbroook

Week 9 – New York Giants – We tie 28-28. Kennedy, 25 of 41, 263, 3:1, scores by Bensenx2 and Harvey. Pick six by rookie LB Woodson and picks by CB Wright and Westbrook. FF by S Dunlap. 2 sacks by Snyder, 4 KRb by Macias

Londesbrough was injured in that game and is questionable, but we’ll start him.

We are 4-3-1

[Abe Sargent]

Week 10 – At Chicago – We lose 21-34 – FB Bensen 20 for 104, Kennedy 22 for 41, 166, 3:1, score by Watson, Moy and Bennett, pick by Sheldon, FF by Magazine, 4 KRB by McDonald.

Deyo is back from injury

Week 11 – Detroit – We win 30-6 – Our first big definitive win. Kennedy, MVP, 20 of 29, 297, 2:0, Watson 8 for 155, 1 score, Glenn the other score. Londesbrough is probable and grabbed me 25 for 178 and 1 score. Pick by Sheldon, 2 sacks by Snyder, 4 KRB by Mcdonald and Macias.

Week 12 – At Miami – We lose 17-20. Londesbrough, 21 for 119 and 1 score; Kennedy is 21 of 38, 199 and 1:1, score by Glenn, FF by terry,

NT Plumier is out for a week. We’ll start Kennedy for him.

Week 13 – At LA Rams – They are 9-2… We lose 20-23. Londesbrough 2 rush scores but just 76 yards, Kennedy 23 of 31, 258 ,FF by Terry, 4 KRB by Storm.


We are 5-6-1

[Abe Sargent]

Plumier is back

Week 14 – At Buffalo – We win 31-16. MVP is Londesbrough, 24 of 111, 1 rec score, Kennedy, 24 of 33, 262, 3:3, Scores by Moy, Bensen, and the RB, pick six by Westbrook, pick by Wright,

Week 15 – At Detroit – They thump us 7-35, Nasty! I’ll skip the deets

OG Porter is out for the year. I massage my roster and start OG Shelby.

Week 16 – New England – We lose 17-30. Londesbrough is 21 of 151, 1 score, Kennedy is 23 of 39, 141, 1:2. Score by Watson, CB wright a pick, 5 KRB by McDonald

LB Willis is out.

Week 17 – Green Bay – The Pack is 10-5 and looking for the post season. We lose 20-23. Londesbrough was 29 of 144, 1 score, Kennedy 24 of 35, 244, 1:1, score by Glenn, pick by Grembowski,FF by Horton and Westbrook, 5 KRB by Macias.

We finish 6-9-1, so how does that compare to my 8-8 prediction? :)

Two All Pros and a Rookie award? I’ll take it!

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Kennedy – 346 of 549, 3681, 23:15, 85.1 rating

Not bad! He was 6th in TDs, but not in the top ten in rating or yards. We need more growth.

Rushing

RB Londesbrough – 292 for 1574, 5.39 ypc,9 scores

He led the league in yards despite his mid-season injuries, and had a great ypc, and was tied for 3rd in TDs. Good stuff! He now has more than 4k rush yards in his first three years.

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/aIRwXLc.png

This was both a good and bad season for my three star catchers. All had great 800+ seasons but I’d like more from Watson even in his rookie year. Moy was good, as well as Glenn. I’m very happy with that. Londesbrough was 372 on 52 snags, still lower than I like.

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/Wq2wEvS.png

This was a great year for McDonald with that nasty % percent. You also have a great year by Macias again.


Special Teams

K Kanpurwala – 24 of 33, Long of 59, 40 of 40 PAT

Good rookie season!

P Gonzalez – 87 punts, 48.0 avg, 38 in 20

Another great year by Gonzalez!

Reynolds had 1 PR RET Td.

Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.imgur.com/hUfzm6c.png

Not a dominant year by my top three in tackles. Snyder notched 7.5 sacks which was the most on my team, but we have to improve that. Ditto Plumier with just 3.5 sacks. He was better last year!

Pass Coverage


https://i.imgur.com/AYQqdUf.png

Westbrook led my team in picks, grabbed two RET scores, and came in tied for 3rd in pasdef. We need to get those pasdef numbers up for my team…

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Stan Londesbrough – How can you choose anyone else? Dude got his first All Pro!

Def. Player of the Year – CB Devante Westbrook – Led my team in picks and pick sixes. Good stuff!

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Liam Gonzalez – Nasty year with league leading avg and great inside the 20%.

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season – we score a 26

The 2059 NFL Offseason

I get another warning from the owner about the losing ness going on.


Hall of Fame

No Abe’s Boys


Retirements of Note

Richmond Rattlesnakes

None


Tampa Bay Bucs

WR Wesley Cleghorn – Their stud WR retires. 3 Rings, 5 All Pros, 1 league’s fastest man – HOF parabola probable.


Other Abe’s Boys

WR Greg Vila -7th round pick that played well with the Bucs, we didn’t retain him due to cost, no Rings

OT Mackenzie Shannon – 2nd round pick who played with us for a bit and then signed with the Broncos. No Rings or honors.

DE Leslie Schneider – Strong UFA pickup with the Bucs, finished with a Ring


Staff Draft

We pick 31st and… I make no changes


I have 9 UFAs. Do I want to tag Grembowski? It’s 15.5 mill. I do so. He downplayed, and he’s on my radar for replacement in the draft if possible.

I head to FA!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2059 NFL FA Period #1

We draft at the 1.10 spot.

My targets – OC, stud only. OG, stud only. Starters - CB, S, LB. My favorite at the 1.10 spot is WLB Dashawn Troutman a very underrated stud, but we’ll see if he is still there. There’s a great S as well we’ll look at later that I could see at the 10th pick.

I resign my RFAs – but not WR Bennett, he sucks.

We have 75 mill in cash after my draft and 43 on my roster.

Who’s contract is coming up soon?

FB Bensen – We’ll let him go
LB Willis – Ditto
LB Sellars – Ditto
SS Grembowski – I’ll hold off for now – he wants 40 mill over 3 years to extend his deal
WR Glenn – Wants 87 mill over 4 years. For a 59/59 guy? Nope!
OG Storm- Wants 69 mill over 5years. We’ll hold off for post draft
DE Hailey – Wants 18 mill over 3 years. Not that bad – but he’s a runs topping specialist and I won’t keep him. I want to try out Arnie Tapp who is a pass rush specialist. (Or a DE I might draft)
NT Garibaldi – No thanks, I have two great DTs


Do I want to chase a UFA?

Nope! Some are cheap, but nope…

Anyone else I want chase?

OG Norman Ramirez was drafted by…moi…for the Bucs. Should I offer him a cheap 11 mill over 2 years? He’s better than OG Shelby and cheaper…

I make him the offer. He could be a cheap backup for me on the O line.

Week 2 – Ramirez signs with us

Week 3 – Ferguson signs with Houston,

Week 4 – Macias stays in the NFC North and heads to GB.

Week 6 – Shelby signs with Cleveland.

Week 10 – Grier signs with New Orleans, Preston also stays in the NFC North and heads to Detroit.

Drafting fun times…commence!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2059 NFL Amateur Draft

Are you ready for the last draft of the 2050s?

Drafting at the 1.1 spot is the Raleigh Eagles. Let’s slow roll this. I’d like WLB Dashawn Troutman who is the top OLB on the board to be there at the 1.10 but there are some solid consolidation prizes like S Darius Wiggins or DE Hunter Mlazgar. Ready?


1.1 – Raleigh goes: Kleinsasser, Mackenzie, DT. That was the top DT on the board.
1.2 – New Orleans - Frederick, Evan, QB – Here goes the top QB on the board
1.3 – Houston - Sanders, Ivan, RB, - The top RB on the board and looks fine but unspectacular.
1.4 – Denver - Farley, Bo, DE – Denver did the 2nd best DE on the board when the 1st is still here. Hmm.
1.5 - Augusta (GA) - Newman, Nolan, CB – CBs this good rarely make it to the 10th spot, but we really liked him.
1.6 – NY Jets - New Jersey - Clancy, Minky, T – The first O Line goes and he’s okay. Good bars, overrated.
1.7 - New England - Brigham, Arnie, ILB – The first LB goes and it’s not Troutman but the best ILB on the draft. He was Hard to Read and adequate bars and not on my shortlist. I’m happy to see this pick move us one closer to the final pick of the Top Ten. 3 picks left!
1.8 – Cleveland – Traded to SF - Wiggins, Darius, S, -That’s not good. He was an absolute stud on bars, but Hard to Read, but I would have taken him all day long.
1.9 - Arizona - Feldman, Darnell, CB – The 3rd DB and 2nd CB heads off the board in the top 10. He’s not great with the bars and I didn’t even bother to interview him.


Our 10th pick arrives! Wanna see the guy I like here?


https://i.imgur.com/OS3cs3R.png

This is Troutman. As you can see this studly OLB is strong everywhere and very underrated and is pretty well developed. My goal is to turn this into a SLB Rex Madison of the Bucs who was nasty for years. He was the 3rd player on the draft regardless of position….

But the top player? He’s still here!

https://i.imgur.com/WDnffYH.png

This is DE Mlazgar, and he’s very nasty in the bars from pass rush to run d to thinking and punching, and he’s not bad at coverage either. He is very very strong and could start for me immediately across from Snyder. But………he’s Hard to Read…

So which one would you do? Mlazgar, which is the cooler name, or Troutman, which is an okay name I suppose.

Or…is this a super secret player that’s still on the board?

https://i.imgur.com/4Y0nEaS.png

This is the best O Line on the board going into the draft, and he’s an OG and underrated. Do I fill my need at OG, LB or DE?

I also need another WR to match with Watson as Glenn is too expensive to retain and……look who’s fallen…

https://i.imgur.com/FQ8sQVX.png

How has a stud this studly still on the board? I know…hard to read…but seriously…how? Should I grab Morris and really set myself up for majestic receivership?



This will clearly be my last Top Ten pick with the Rattlesnakes…so who do I like here? Who will push my franchise forward?

[Abe Sargent]

I take…


Troutman. I’m a 3-4 that hasn’t gotten lucky with the later LBs. I need my Rex Madison for my team, and Troutman appears to be the best LB who’s been on the board at any spot thus far when I’ve been up… I grab him.

2.10 – Np FBs have gone yet. FB Alfredo Lachance? He’s a catching FB. WR Ezekiel Burke? DE Rufus Carter? Carter is a pass rush specialist. I like all three!

Why each?

Lachance would be my new Bensen.
Carter looks to be a solid starter at DE and pass rushes like a bear in heat.
WR Burke could be my new Glenn. And maybe a bit better.

I like all three. Carter feels like the biggest position of need right now so I go him.

https://i.imgur.com/mpTYXMR.png

Look at Carter! He’s the top player on the board.

3.10 – OG Arnold Cone? I like Cone. He looks full at run blocking and pass blcoking but no strength. Did Lachance or the 2nd FB Dominic Morrison fall? Nope.



4.10 – MLB Courtney Luciano looks to have fallen…I grab him.


5.10 – I need a backup QB. Should I grab Sebastian Lambeau? He looks like a grower.


6.10 – Who do I like here? Hmmm…I need a ….d back but they al have sucky bars and no one looks like a grower… I need a 4th TE, anyone here? The 2nd TE on the board might be a grower and I grab TE Neil Linares


7.10 – DE Alex Turner? OC Devon Doebert? OC Derek Garrett? Wanna see Doebert?

https://i.imgur.com/RvrOCTN.png

He was the 2nd OC on the board but no one has taken him….so we do! Alright Mr. Underrated, let’s see what you can do!




Rookie Lookie #1

1.10 - WLB Dashawn Troutman, Michigan State, 62/85
2.10 – DE Rufus Carter, Syracuse, 34/67
3.10 – OG Arnold Cone, WVU, 20/76
4.10 – MLB Courtney Luciano, Kansas State, 20/60
5.10 – QB Sebastian Lambeau, Duke, 16/43
6.10 – TE Neil Linares, Clemson, 25/41
7.10 – OC Devon Doebert, Tennessee, 44/65

There we go friends!!!


Two teams had move votes. Tampa Bay to Manchester….loses

However…

Denver to Portland, OR succeeds.

I move Troutman to SLB and my SLB Sheldon to WLB. I move Luciano to SILB.

7.10 – OC Devon Doebert, Tennessee, 44/65; 53/67; 52/68

Well TE Linares did rise just not as much as I hoped. And blast it Troutman!!! That sucks. Another Top Ten first round very underrated bust in the Richmond dynasty! Nasty stuff!

That draft gave me a lot of talent! But man what a disappointment at the 1.10!

[Abe Sargent]

Any extensions?

I have 80 mill. I extend no one with one year left.

My two years in stud QB Kennedy. We extend him for a nasty 225 mill, 5 years. WLB Sheldon and NT Plumier want too much right now (or too few years).

My rookies?

https://i.imgur.com/p8srhTE.png

We’ll skip him

https://i.imgur.com/CN1Tp2A.png

Carter on the other hand looks great with his pass rush t and s. Good stuff Carter!

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page we have Cone and Carter.

Rookie Investigation

At QB, our UFA Joyner is the best QB in the draft by potential! Only him had a 50+ pot.

Only three RB’s had a 50+ pot.

FB Lachance wound up with a 38/69 rating, and wound have been solid pick up. 2nd FB Morrison was with 67 pot.

Only two TEs had a 50+ rating, and one of those is at 64.

At WR, stud Morris wound up with a 47/79 rating, and to more in the 60s, and Burke that we were looking at 2.10 wound up with a 51/63 rating. Not bad at all. Just one WR in the 50s,

At OC, Doebert wound up the top OC by pot by 1.

Had we taken OG Strickland, we would have gotten the top O Line player in the draft at 52/84. There are four OGs in the 70s including ours, at the 2nd spot.

1 Ot in the 60s. The rest are in the 50s. That was taken in the 1st round top ten

Carter is the 2nd best DE in the draft and 3rd best D Line. This was deep there. Mlazgar was the best at 61/79.

After Troutman busted he’s the 9th best LB in the draft. And Luciano is 3rd. Anyone I would have taken at 1.10 over Troutman would have been a stud.

6 DBacks have 60s pot, and 13 to in the 50s, so this was an okay draft for them.

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Kennedy – 365 of 532, 4190 yards, 39:5, 112.6

That’s one of my best QB seasons in a long time! He led in yards by 23, TDs by 8, rating by 18.8. Nasty stuff from the guy!

Rushing

RB Londesbrough – 402 for 1749, 4.35 ypc, 9 scores

His yards were way up from his previous high last year, but his scores and ypc are down. If he had last year’s ypc he would have gotten more than 2k yards with 401 carries. Good stuff!

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/0hvVF8t.png

Watson was 2nd in the league in yards and dominated with 18 scores. Only 6 players netted 1000+ yards this year. Down years from Moy and Glenn from last when they had 800+ yards each. Londesbrough was good with 322 that put him over 2k for the year from scrimmage.


Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/oashQVD.png

Rookie Cone led my team n KRB and % and he had just one sack allowed. Good stuff rookie! A down-ish year from others. McDonald really fell from last year.

Special Teams

K Kanpurwala – 30 of 38, Long of 49, 59 of 60 PAT

Good PAT numbers and only 8 missed kicks but that felt a little inconsistent at times.

P Gonzalez – 80 punts, 47.9 avg, 39 in 20

Great almost 50% in 20. Lower avg than normal though

We had TWO RET TDs this year

OT Rivers led my team with 25 special teams tackles

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/sQ5bzFK.png

Luciano led my team in tackles but not dominatingly. Snyder with a tired 7 sacks led my team, and rookie Troutman with 6.5 just a half sack behind him. Plumier was injured so no judgments there. Rookie Carter just 3. We have to do better with my D Line given their talent level. With 5 FF, Plumier led my team.

Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/eLk8nNN.png

Ferguson had a great year with the picks and pasdef. He tied for 2nd most in the league. Hocking was my nickelback and played well there. He tied my team for 1st in pasdef and grabbed a pair of picks. Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – WR Heath Watson – His first All Pro, 1000+ yard season, and… he set an award for Rec. Tds of 18 since we began this dynasty for any player! The previous high? 14!

Def. Player of the Year – S Percy Ferguson – Led my team in picks and was tied for 2nd in the league, and was 2nd on my team in pasdef. Good stuff!

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Liam Gonzalez – Nasty year by the lad on inside the 20 and his avg was among the top in the league.

Rookie of the Year – OG Arnold Cone – Led my team in sacks allowed, KRB and block %. Never played like a rookie!

Heart Award – S Braden Hocking – We already established how good he was and how he outplayed starters. Good stuff UFA rookie!

Bucs?

Their HC Retires


Other Abe’s Boys?

Staff Draft

We pick 17th, I cannot make any changes following a winning season unless my staff was poached… was it? Nope! No changes made

We have… 10 UFAs and I don’t franchise any

See you at the FA period!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2060 NFL FA Period #1

I look up at the draft to see what might be there at the 1.31 spot. There is a stud FB that’s overrated. This seems like a weak DB draft so I doubt we’ll see anyone fall there. I interview some LBs but this is a weak group of those as well.

I have 103 mill available for new players.

Here are players of note in the final year of their deal

OT McDonald – Wants 81 mill over 4 years, cap cut of 5 mill this year – I’ll wait until post draft in case we grab a stud somewhere
NT Plumier – Wants 151 mill over 4 years. I do it, but he needs to play up to his ability.
LB Sheldon – Wants 71 mill over 5 years. I do it as well


I extend my LS and P.

I sign my RFAs but not WR Wynn or CB Donovan.

I have 40 players and 51 mill for big stuff.

Anyone I want to chase in FA?

I make an offer to bring back Willis for two years. We need bodies at LB.

I make an offer to 13 year vet FS Drew Kempthorne for 11 mill/1 year to join us as I doubt we’ll get a good option in the draft at both CB and S.

WR Glenn wants 44 mill over 3 years…do I want to bring him back? Right now I have just Raleigh and Watson… I make him an offer as this seems like a weaker WR draft.


Week 3 – Glenn returns to us.

Week 4 – Storm heads to Arizona

Week 5 – We sign Kempthorne and Willis

Week 9 – Hailey signs with Augusta, Grembowski heads back to Tampa Bay

Week 11 – Sellars heads to Miami

I’ll see you in the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2060 NFL Amateur Draft

This is the first injection of talent for the new decade!

Picking first is… Denver and they grab… WR Aiden McKnight

Who is left at the 1.31 spot?

Wow…not a lot…

The biggest falls appear to be a position of no need at DT. The four top players on the board, other than the overrated FB, are all DT. Wow I wish I hadn’t extended my guy now…

DT Gabriel Finacchiaro – 3rd best Dt on the board, the best by bars
OT DeAndre Fairley – Looks good with the two blocking stuff, weak at strength
OG Lewis Dunn – Looks good but I don’t really need an OG; I’m very strong there on my roster
SLB Brayden Blanchard – Best LB on the board, bad bars, very overrated. Overrated not under…
SLB Thurman Lavalais – 2nd best LB on the board, bad bars, very underrated
MLB Zane Eckert – Not great bars, As Scouted, 3rd LB on the board
FB Tom Conley – Overrated – Given how bad my predictions have been in the past, maybe this guy will boom, not bust?
CB B.J. Klech – Top D Back on the board, bars are…okay at best… poor at coverage, good at picks, play d and hitting.

Here’s a thought… take a stud DT. What am I doing? Then flip to 4-3 next year in the offseason staff draft since we’ve had such a problem with LBs here. Would that work?


What do I do? What makes sense? Do I grab Lavalais and hope? Take a stud DT and move to 4-3 next year? Go FB, a position of need, even though he’ll likely fall?

https://i.imgur.com/fC66NPJ.png


Here’s Lavalais…. Do I gamble on this guy growing? Those bars aren’t good…and I have no combine scores to compare him too or guess at growth… if I take him, am I throwing a good pick this year after my bad pick last at 1.10?

I’ll sleep on it

[Abe Sargent]

Okay, I still am unsure so let’s talk it out. I rule out the Bap of DT. Moving to a 4-3 would be a transformational shift that I am unwilling to do simply to get the BAP from this draft. I’m sure one of the 4 DTs at the top of the draft would wind up a studly stud.

So what’s left? CB Klech is a need with okay bars but no interview or anything to hang my hat on. FB Conley is a player of need but overrated. I could Lavalais, and I don’t need him to be a Madison, but an Arellano would be fine. OT Fairley, if he developed as he looks, could replace my expensive OT right now and save me money heading into a few big contracts coming up named Watson and….Moy. But OT is the least need right now.

So what do I do?

Could I go with the top WR Roberto Coles instead? Or the next OT who seems better in bars OT Graham Mangold?


I grab OT Mangold…if I am going to blind grab someone I’ve not interviewed he seems better. OT seems the best bet here…

https://i.imgur.com/ff80mrq.png

There’s my Mangold. He’s the next OT down from the one I was looking at.



2.31 – Who do I like here? TE Santiago Roberts looks good. Is there a good WR on the board? Nope. FS Axel Fox looks pretty solid as well. I need D dbacks badly so I do Fox.


3.31 – Lavalais is still on the board here and I grab him.


4.31 – Who do I like here? I need a WR, and who is the best on the board? The 3rd WR Ralph Borders looks like a grower and I grab him.


5.31 – I could grab WILB Percy Isbell or SLB Desmond Wilson here. I take Isbell.


6.31 – DT Renaldo Andersen?


7.31 – Hmm…how about RB Mitch Erickson or CB Ivan Fisher? Erickson looks like a solid grower…

The 2060 NFL FA Period #2

We have 50 on my roster, so I make offers to…

CB Ivan Fisher
TE Carson Williamson

DE Chase Clements
MLB Damon Clancy
LS Edwin Mendola – Our LS snapping is 90, so this one looks like he might be better..

It’s a weak UFA pool. Only 4 non-kickers have a pot of 50 or more…

Week 1 – Two sign.

Week 2 – Three sign

Week 3 – The last one signs

I only have 54 on my roster, so I cut LB Sam Cunningham

[Abe Sargent]

Any extensions I wanna make? I have 26 mill in cap space.

TE Moy, dropped to 66/66 – Wants 91 mill, 5 years, and that’s a cap hit of 11 mill this year

WR Watson – Wants 201 mill, 5 years, Increase this year of 25 mill. No thanks.

CB Westbrook – Wants 185 mill, 5 years, cap hit of 24 mill.

I’ll hold off on all three. I’ll cut Sanford in the post season to afford Moy.


Top two rookies?

OT Mangold

https://i.imgur.com/7hZBP9J.png

Here is Mangold after development, and you can see where he wound up. Good stuff Graham!

https://i.imgur.com/mJeRaiR.png

And here is The Fox. As you can see, Axel looks sexy pretty much everywhere save punching and zoning. He’s a solid pickup in a weak D back draft. When I grabbed him he was the 5th best S on the board but he had actual, proper, bars.

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page is…….

Andersen 5th and Mangold 8th.

Rookie Investigation

QB – The best QB in the draft is 9/52 picked in round 6. Not a great draft for them

RB – Just 5 RBs with a pot in the 50s or more, one at 67

TE – The TE I was looking at 2.31, Roberts, wound up the best at 47/63

WR – 2 WRs at the 61 pot, and then 6 in the 50s. Not a graft draft for them either.

OC – The best one was a UFA with a 52 pot, and that was the only C with a 50+ pot.

OG – This was a deep OG draft with 1 83 (on the board at 1.31), 1 74, 3 60s, and 9 50s. We could have left with a stud OG and then cut someone if we had wanted to.

OT – After booming, Mangold was the 2nd best OT in the draft. We had 2 70s, 5 60s, and 10 50s so it was a deep draft for OTs

After booming massively, Andersen is the 2nd best DT in the draft and the 2nd best D Line as well. There were 3 in the 70s, 6 in the 60s, and 6 in the 50s, so this was a deep draft for D Line

At LB however, this was weak. 1 in the 70s, 3 in the 60s including our Isbell 3rd best in the draft, and just 3 LBs in the 50s, of which Lavalais was one. Lavalais didn’t boom as much as I’d hoped, but we didn’t waste a 1.31 pick on him either, so I’m happy about that.

At DB, there was a 81, a 71, and then 3 60s including Fox the 4th best, and just 6in the 50s, so it wasn’t super deep for CBs and Ss combined. We got lucky with Fox.

Good stuff!

The 2060 NFL Regular Season

I predict 12-4 in the rough NFC North, a drop of a game from last year.

I am coming out of preseason with a doubtful, one out, and three questionables.


Week 1 – At Green Bay – Well…we aren’t staring out our campaign in a good spot. We lost this game last year. Ready? We win 19-17, MVP is K Kasparwala with 4 of 4 FGs. Londesbrough (hereforth known as “Londy”) is rocking 19 of 141 and Kennedy is 26 of 35, 229 and 1:1, score by Watson, FF by Ferguson, rec by Plumier, 4 KRB by Porter


Week 2 – At Indy – We win 23-17. Kennedy, MVP, 22 of 31, 201 and 2:0, scores by Londy and Reynolds, Londy was 27 of 166, FF by Ferguson, rec by Kempthorne,


Week 3 – Atlanta – We lose 34-38. Londy was 18 for 88, Kennedy a rush score and 31 of 47, 300 and 3:2, Moy, Glenn, and Watson with scores, We had four picks – Sheldon, Westbrook, Lavalais and Fox. Two rookies on the chart.


Week 4 – BYE


Week 5 – Seattle – We thump them 41-17. Londy, 23 for 106, Kennedy, MVP, 20 of 30, 304 and 5:0, score by Watsonx2, Londy, Glenn, and Moy. FF by Kempthorne and Ferguson, rec by Carter, 3 pasdef by Luciano, 6 KRB by Bennett

We are 3-1 at the first quarter…

[Abe Sargent]

Week 6 – At Arizona – We shut down out 33-0! Kennedy, MVP, 23 of 28, 296, and 2:1, Glenn 9 for 161, 2 scores. Londy 24 for 116, 1 score. Pick by Ferguson. FF by Troutman, 4 KRB by rookie Mangold,


Week 7 – LA Rams – They are 5-1….We give them their 2nd win 26-20, MVp is Londy with 25 for 150, 1 score, Kennedy 24 of 38, 244 and 0:1, pick six by vet Kempthorne, pick by Westbrook, FF by Luciano, rec by Fox, 3 pasdef by CB Whelihan, 4 KRB by Doebert


Week 8 – At Chicago – Can we win away in the NFC North? Let’s find out! We lose 24-30. Londy was 20 for 121, 2 scores, Kennedy was 22 of 44, 277 and 1:2, score by Londy, 4 KRB by Doebert


Week 9 – At SF – We win 34-13. MVp is Londy with 25 for 175, 2 scores, Kennedy was just 16 of 31, 212 2:1, scores by Londy and Linares, 2 sacks by Plumier, EIGHT KRB by Cone, 5 by Doebert.


Sheldon is out for a while and I replace him with hsbell.

We are 6-2 at the second quarter mark.

[Abe Sargent]

Halfway into the season, Londy has 1051 yards and is on pace for 2k


Week 10 – Green Bay – They have really fallen and are 1-7. We win 23-16. MVP is Londy with 22 for 114 and Kennedy was injured and my backup QB had three quarters of pay (QB Kennedy will be probable after the game.). They will combine for around 235 yards and 3:2. Scores by Stephenson, and Reynoldsx2. Pick by Fox, sFF by Luciano, 4 KRB by Doebert


Week 11 – Detroit- We win 30-7. MVP is Londy with 31 for 158, 2 scores, Kennedy is 20 of 29, 261 and 1:1, score by Watson, pick by Kempthorne, 4 KRB by Cone.


Week 12 – At Jacksonville – At the AFC Heavy Hitter… we win a close one 24-21. MVP is Kennedy with 24 of 31, 266 and 3:0, 2 scores by Glenn, 1 by Reynolds, Londy is 19 for 113 and pick by Ferguson, 2 sacks by Troutman, 5 KRb by Porter


Week 13 – At 8-3 DC. Can we win? We win 20-6. MVP is Londy with 27 of 185, Kennedy was 17 of 24, 218 and 2:1, 2 scores by Watson, Glenn 7 for 111, FF bY Westbrook and Carter, rec by Terry, 3 pasdef by Fox, 5 KRB by Bennette, 4 by Cone,


We are 10-2 at the three quarter mark. Londy has 1621 yards with 4 games left and could have the best Rush Yards/Season in history… it’s 2,062 yards with Preston Fones of my Dolphins in 2034…
