Extensions

I extend

I don’t extend

Montgomery dropped to 62/62 – nope. I may make him an offer next year.

Brinkley - I have Unger.


Two years left

Gassner wants 319 for 5 years. I do so. That eats up my cap space

Rookies





Here is Unger after a camp and preseason. He’s green but I like him a lot! He starts as my #3 WR.





Here’s the best pick in the draft at 2.32 RB Torelli. He’s my new starter after booming to low 60s. He;s a better runner than catcher. He’s good with speed, inside, 3rd down, and more. Welcome Torelli!

Loads of All Pros! We got 11! Nasty! That is the first All Pro for McGillicutty, Clifton, and Byrnes and Cook and Torelli. That’s the 3rd All Pro for Ballard in a row and the 2nd All Pro for Vaughn and Gassner and 3rd for Samuels, and that’s a good year!

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Moya – 323 of 481, 67.2%, 3561 yards, 29:6, 103.8 rating

Best rating, TDs, %, but low yards.

Rushing

RB Torelli – 301 for 1623, 5.39 avg, 11 scores

He led in yards and was tied for first in scores.


Receiving






Gassner again led my team with a lot of yards and grabs. He led our team in scores and yards and grabs. He was 2nd in yards and 5th in scores. Dubin was fine with the yards in his 2nd year starting for me at TE and notched me 729 yards. No one else cracked the 500+ bucket but with a 3500 yard QB season that’s to be expected.




It’s very rare when the leader on your team’s KRB is an OT. Clifton and McGillicuddy both had great years with more than 40 KRB each! Our OT was 2nd in the league for KRBs and led in pancakes! Good stuff! Jeffries needs to do better.


Special Teams


K Ballard – 42 of 46, Long of 52,55 of 57 PAT

A great year by our K and he was better % than last year. He led in FG made by 4 and PAT by 13. Good stuff Ballard!

P Evans – 72 punts for 44.5 avg, and 28 in 20

Much better season than last!

WR Gassner – 2 PR RET TDs

CB Byrnes – 28 special teams tackles

[Abe Sargent]

Defensive






SILB Vaughn led the team with 111 tackles and grabbed me 4 sacks. Cook was 2nd with 109 tackles which was pretty sexy as well. Dunn and Samuels tied for 12.5 sacks and I can’t recall that before. They were tied for 4th most sacks in the league, all Des. 7 sacks by the old man Montgomery and Harmon netted me 6 sacks in his first year at WLB. Wynn just 4.5 which has to rise.


Pass Coverage




Byrnes led my team with 6 picks and 13 pasdef and was great for me! He won his first All Pro but he was robbed after getting a 9 pick season with no All Pro. Good stuff! Cook netted me 4 picks and 13 pas def which was also good. Vaughn another 4 picks and 14 pasdef showing his great season in this section of D last year returned. Note that 70+ stud starter Henry needs more than a 0 pick 11 pasdef season. A good year here!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – OT Richie McGillicuddy – Won an All Pro, was 2nd in any O line for KRB and had the most pancakes. Great season buddy!

Def. Player of the Year – SILB Tyrone Vaughn – 2nd straight year with an All Pro, 4 picks which was 2nd on my team, 14 pasdef which was most on my team, most tackles with 100+ and 4 sacks. Good year Vaughn!

Rookie of the Year – RB Jeffrey Torelli - Led league in rush yards and tied for most in scores, and got Off. Rookie of the Year and All Pro.

The 2096 NFL Amateur Draft

Drafting at the top spot is Carolina. They are predicted by me to take the top player on the draft a 7.3 rated DE named Chad Burbank. And? They go CB Aaron Burgess. Burbank heads off the board at the 1.5 spot to Indy.

The 1.30 arrives!

Who do I like?

WLB Rich Tosi 0 Very underrated – top player on the board
FB Ben Beason – 2nd best player on the board, overrated
WLB Will Francis – hard to Read
WLB Collin Korte – Overrated
SLB Kyle Peck – Underrated
MLB Hardy Holmes – Overrated
MLB Roman Muyers- Overrated

Here is Tosi





Is this the Tosi draft?

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Bratsch – 341 of 492, 69.3%, 3691 yards, 23:8, 99.9 rating

That is the best % we’ve had by Curtis or Moya and he led the league in rating, %. He was down in yards and tied for 3rd in scores. He rose to 64/64.

At 64/64 Bratsch is the… 8th best current QB by current value and 12th best by potential.

Rushing

RB Torelli – 430 for 2122 yards, a ypc of 4.93, and 17 scores!

He led in everything. Yards by almost 700, scores by 8. He dominated!!!


Receiving

Get ready for a surprise…




In his first year in starting, Bratsch really built up Gassner. He led the league in yards with 1552, grabs with 119, and was 2nd in scores with 10. Nasty year for the guy and his fourth year the dude has three All Pros. I was afraid that Gassner would take a step back with a new QB but the dude took a step FORWARD! Dude is a stud. RB Torelli grabbed 81 snags and 608 yards and finished with 2.7k yards from scrimmage. Dubin was 3rd with 578 yards and then no one else crossed 500 and this team is really becoming Gassner’s. Which I’m okay with.


Blocking



My OTHER OT led with KRB this year and again that’s odd and the guy netted me a ton of KRB from the OT spot. Jeffries was great as well. He was the 3rd best OC in KRB so he played up to hi talent level. No sacks allowed either. Escribano was 4th best KRB for any position and the best for OTs. McGillicuddy again had a great year for an LT. Good stuff pair! Keep it up!


Special Teams

K Ballard – 46 of 54 FG, Long of 56, 49 of 52 PAT

He had the most FGs again. By 7. The most PAT by 10. Dude is a weapon!

P Evans – 67 for 44.8 and 28 in 20

Not bad.

[Abe Sargent]

Defensive




Vaughn had a fun year with 112 tackles but my team was down with the sacks. Just 13 for Samuels who was 3rd most in the league and grabbed another All Pro, and then Wynn back to form with 8 and got another All Pro. And that’s was it. Just 6 sacks for Dunn and only 3 for rookie Tosi. Just 1 sack for Vaughn and 2 for Montgomery. Light on the sacks line.


Pass Coverage





A down year for my coverage as well. Byrnes led my team with a solid 15 pasdef and 5 picks. But we had just two others with double digit pasdef and starters like Henry have just 1 pick and 9 pasdef. Not great here either.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Jeffrey Torelli – Dude gets a 2k+ season, dude wins this award.

Def. Player of the Year – DT Preston Wynn – Dude was 2nd on the team with sacks and was 2nd most DT sacks in the league. Good stuff Wynn!

Sp. Teams Player of the Year – K Johnny Ballard – Dude wins his 4th All Pro in a row…

Rookie of the Year – WLB Rich Tosi – Dude got me 3 sacks and 1 block and 4 hurries. He won this by default.

Heart Award – CB Francisco Schneider – My nickelback got me 3 picks, 10 pasdef and a sack!

The 2097 NFL FA Period #1

I review the draft

Players in the Last Year of their Deal

SLB Montgomery – I cut him he dropped to 57/57 and will start my 2nd rounder last year for him

I use that money to sign my RFAs. I have 6.7 mill left

DE Dunn – 54/54 11th year. Wants 47 mill for 2 years. I hold off until post draft

TE Shelton – 50/50 wants 24 mill for 3 years. I hold off until post draft

FS Simonsen – No signing

QB Bratsch – Wants 434 mill over 5 years. That’s a big cap hit increase of 52 mill

C Jeffries – Wants 142 mill over 4 years, cap reducement of 6 mill. I do so

DE Samuels – Wants 139 mill over 4 years, cap reducement of 16 mill. I do so

CB Bynres – Wants 124 milll over 4 years, a reduction of 12 mill. I do so

OG Lynn – Wants 121 mill over 4 years, a reduction of 5 mill. I do so

I extend Bratsch. I have 470k left.

Now what?

I extend my LS.

I hold off on everyone else.

Week 3 – OT Stargell heads to Pittsburgh

Week 7 – Montgomery signs with Green Bay

Week 11 – Davison heads to Green Bay as well

Draft time!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2007 NFL Amateur Draft


Drafting 1st is the Detroit Lions. I think they’ll go… RB Jon Erickson. They do so!

1.28

Our pick arrives. Who do I like?

DE Sawyer Clemons – Top player on the board, could be my new Dunn? No interview, pass rush specialist.
LG Darren Hancock – Stud on the board, could be a great starter for me. I just extended Lymm to sign my QB, and Clifton has an All Pro, but this guy could be a better player at that position.
FB Johnathan Goricki – Top FB on the board, very overrated, I couldn’t sign Davison and need a replacement
FS Jacob Palmer – Top DB on the board, okay bars, hard to read
RCB Efrain Conway – 2nd DB on the board, overrated





Here’s Clemons the best player on th draft, and looks to have good pass rush tech and stre and good play D and hitting. Pretty good and I could replace Dunn.



When a stud falls to the back half of the 1st round here you need to take him and Hancock looks very studly.

What do you do?

[Abe Sargent]

I draft the need of DE and take Clemons.


2.28 – FB Johnathan Goricki is still on the board. He’s a trap as he’s very overrated so I pass on him. TE Antonio Dotson? I interviewed him and he is hard to read and looks good.




Wanna see him? I grab him here.


3.28 – Fb Carlos Flannery? LG Ron Haley? I really like how studly Haley looks he’s the 3rd best OG on the board and I need a FB. Which do I do? FB.


4.28 – DE Stanley Fishley? He’s good DE in case Clemons busts.


5.28 – MLB Norman Ingram? He looks like a grower.


6.28 – TE Ben Moss? He’s TE bust protection.


7.28 – CB Donnie Dennis?


Rookie Lookie #1

1.28 – DE Sawyer Clemons, Stanford, 49/64
2.28 – TE Antonio Dotson, Kentucky, 42/58

Hall of Fame Check

In order from most to least likely, just my roster right now

RB Jeffrey Tortelli – 2k season, two All Pros, 1 league MVP, 1 Off Player of the Year, 1 Off. Rookie of the Year, just 2 years into career. Not that many more awards are needed for a HOF career.

DE Samuels – 2 Rings, 4 All Pros in 7 years.

WR Gassner – 3 All Pros in four years, 1 Ring, on the parabola for HOF

K Ballard – The only HOF K has 3 All pros, Ballard already has 4.

OT McGillicuddy – 6th year vet with two All Pros in years, just 67/67 and plays OT but he could be in the conversation.

QB Rodney Bratsch – 1 All Pro in first year starting, doesn’t need that many to make HOF as a QB, on the queue if he continues.

No one else has more than 1 All Pro.

Shout out to Montgomery with 4 ALl Pros, Def Playre of the Year, Def Rookie of the Year and Super Bowl MVP.

The 2097 NFL Regular Season

We can’t keep sustaining these 16-0 seasons. We drop back to 13-3 a more realistic standard.


Week 1 – At NYG – Ready? We win 21-10. The Giants just don’t have our number any more. Ballard is MVP with SEVEN OF SEVEN FGs! Wow! That’s why he’s all pro! Torelli is 28 got 160, and Bratsch is 23 of 39, 267, pick by Simonsen.

Week 2 – Portland – We win 40-13. MVP is Torelli, 33 for 190 and 2 scores, Bratsch is 20 of 28, 242 and 1:0 with a score to Gassner who is 6 for 99. FF and rec by Cook, 1.5 sacks by rookie Clemons in his second game! 6 KRB By Escribano and Clifton.

Week 3 – New Orleans – We win 44-12. Remember when New Orleans was a hard game? Or a loss in a 15-1 season? Not this year. Bratsch, MVP, 22 of 29, 239 and 2:0 scores by Unger and Gassner, picks by Vaughn and Frederickson, 4 KRB by McGillicuddy,

Frederickson is out. Simonsen will start for him. SE Unger has turf toe and will be out for a while.

Week 6 – At 5-0 Green Bay – Is this a real game? Battle of the undefeateds. We lose 24—27. That’s our first regular season loss in Bratsch’s career. How will he handle it? Torelli, 30 for 125 and 1 score, Bratsch 30 of 43, 257, 2:1, scores by Schultz and Flannery, picks by Vaughn and Juckett, 2 FF by Byrne, 1 rec by Vaughn,

With 6 games left, Torelli is at 1468 yards and on line to repeat his 2k if he can avg more than 100/yards per game for the last 6 games. Pretty easy how he’s playing. He did it in 15 games last year..

Week 12 – 7-3 Anchorage – The big one, a Super Bowl preview? We win 28-19. MVP? Bratsch who is 26 of 38, 278 and 2:0 scores by Gassner and Schultz, Torelli is 22 for 123 and got his needed yards, pick by Frederickson, 5 KRb by Jeffries

[Abe Sargent]

Week 14 – At 5-7 LV – We trump them 47-3. MVP is SLB Garrett with 3.5 sacks, 3 sacks by Samuels and 2.5 by Wynn. We’ve had a bad sack season until now with three sackless games and two with just 1. Torelli, 27 for 101 and 1 score. Well, he barely got that 100 yards. Bratsch is 19 of 26, 201 and 3:0 and was pulled in the 4th quarter for Hamilton who was 7 of 11 for 79 and 1:0. Scores by Gassner, Dubin, Campbell and Schultz, pick six by Tosi, pick by Cook, FF by Garrett, 3 pasdef by Schneider,

Ben Moss is doubtful but we’ll start him.

Trippi is back.

Unger is back from his turf toe.

Torelli Watch – He is at 1881 with 3 games to go, he only needs 119 in three games. He might crack it next week!



Week 15 – 7-6 Greenvillle – They beat us at home, can we prevent the sweep? We win 30-7. Samuels, MVP, 3 sacks, Torelli, 25 for 129 and he cracked 2k in 14 games! Bratsch is with 16 of 22, 189 and 2:1 scores by Campbell and Schultz, FF by Vaughn, rec for score by Wynn,

Trippi is injured again and is out for the season. I place him on IR and sign SS Michael Brondstetter.

The Torelli Watch – 2010 yards with 2 games left.

Gassner is out for 4 weeks and he was 3rd in the league in yards but dropped to 4th after that game after leaving early. Sucks he was on line for All Pro.

Week 16 – At 5-9 LAC – We win 30-3. Torelli, MVP, 23 for 113, and 2 scores. Bratsch 18 of 25, 166, pick six by Juckett, pick by Henry,

Schneider is out for a few weeks. I move my dimeback Juckett to nickel to cover.

Week 17 – 5-9-1 DC – We win a low scoring affair 17-13. MVP is Bratsch who is 21 for 29, 154 an 1:0, score by Unger, FF by Byrnes, quiet win


We finish 14-2 and with the top seed in the playoffs
