SkyDog Takes The One And Done Challenge

Ben E Lou · 12-24-2007, 11:41 AM

PHASE ONE: INTERVIEWS
I got lucky here. The second guy I interviewed at QB, Peter Briggs, came out Underrated. I was able to save QB interviews that way.

PHASE TWO: TRADES
I started out listing them all, but they got too numerous. You'll see what picks I have when you see my draftees. On to the draft.

Rnd 1 - Peter Briggs, QB, North Carolina

Rnd 6 - Jim Sheldon, G, Virginia Tech
Rnd 7 - Harvey Halama, C, Florida State

I saw two great, fast, underrated WRs, so I decided they'd be perfect matches for Briggs, which in turn led me to go heavy on offensive skill positions early. I figured I'd just try doing what I do best here.

Obviously, lots of undrafted free agents signed. Here's the report from our first camp. Lots of the guys who lost points will be replaced with 1st-year FAs who gained 'em.

Ben E Lou · 12-25-2007, 05:40 AM

I guess overall, the prevailing strategy was to grab as many suspected creepers as I could, and give them playing time. The 1st-year starting lineups reflect that.

NAME	POS	Cur1	Fut1	Cur2	Fut2	CurChg	FutChg
Peter Briggs	QB	23	43	28	48	5	5
Herman Mirer	QB	12	27	15	28	3	1
Erik Norgard	QB	15	33	17	33	2	0
Tom Kearney	QB	5	54	8	49	3	-5

Briggs looks like a star in the making. I just hope he can stay healthy. Mirer has a similar skill set and gave a mild creep, so that combination puts him in firmly as the #2.

O.J. Winters	RB	38	38	44	49	6	11
Jose Greene	RB	24	28	26	30	2	2
Trevor McElrath	RB	27	41	27	37	0	-4	up to 15/36 as a WR.
Ken Kelly	FB	18	37	22	36	4	-1

Winters=star. He has only E positional experience, and his all-too-similar bars at three places make me wonder if he's a Dusty Ford/Swamp Thing Johnson heavy unmasker.

Wes Middleton	TE	23	44	28	49	5	5
Kendall Garvin	TE	19	25	21	28	2	3
Johnnie Worthington	TE	24	44	27	41	3	-3
Sammie Newman	FL	31	51	38	59	7	8
Jerry Reeves	SE	24	45	30	52	6	7
Grant Dagostino	RB-->FL	21	28	23	27	2	-1
Chad Turnbull	FL	8	19	10	21	2	2
Preston Turnbull	SE	14	19	17	24	3	5
Glenn Stevenson	SE	15	29	18	30	3	1

Our QB/receiver combo should be very, very good in a few years. I expect serious creeping from the starters at TE/WR, probably into the 60s for Middleton, and somewhere in the 70s for both starting WRs. Dagostino climbed to 15/36 as a WR in the position switch, so he could be a factor one day, too.

Harvey Halama	C	11	31	13	34	2	3
Luke Crawford	C	21	35	22	36	1	1
Spencer Finley	C	14	29	18	30	4	1
Neil Manke	LG	16	29	19	33	3	4
Jim Sheldon	RG	17	40	20	41	3	1
Bucky Crawford	RG	22	37	21	33	-1	-4
Clyde Powell	RT	13	19	17	23	4	4
Alex Pfaff	RT	12	31	14	32	2	1
Dusty Drayson	LT	18	41	22	41	4	0

This is where misunderstanding the rules could get me in trouble. My plan was to grab the nearest creeping rookie FAs after camp to be my fourth G and fourth T. I only carried 60 into camp, so I had plenty of room for more.

I kept extra defensive linemen for switching over if necessary.

Brady Roberson	P	41	51	42	49	1	-2
Joel Bass	K	41	64	42	58	1	-6

Another place where I'd planned on grabbing the best postcamp creeping rookie FAs, so I didn't really pay attention to the guys I got here. Oh well.

Daniel Wilkins	LDE	16	28	17	30	1	2
Henry Turnbull	LDE	16	47	18	41	2	-6
Vince Schmidgall	RDE	27	44	33	49	6	5
Willie Malcomson	RDE	26	50	28	45	2	-5
Sammie Carr	LDT	27	30	32	35	5	5
Geoff Sims	LDT	9	18	13	20	4	2
Darrell Brody	LDT	29	53	31	48	2	-5
Cedric Garrard	RDT	25	50	30	50	5	0

After the creeping is done, we should be pretty solid up front. Turnbull is high in PR technique, and will play LDE in nickel/dime sets for now.

J.T. Mills	MLB	13	22	14	23	1	1
Brenden Godfrey	MLB	16	30	18	30	2	0
Zack Swift	MLB	15	28	17	32	2	4
Rusty Henry	SLB	14	23	15	25	1	2
Rufus Facey	SLB	18	30	19	29	1	-1
Johnnie Rayburn	SLB	13	32	14	28	1	-4
Brandon Beyer	WLB	22	35	25	32	3	-3

I'm most concerned about this position group, in terms of talent. I didn't draft anyone, and my FA pickups were pretty haphazard, too.

Joel Pancake	LCB	15	19	18	23	3	4
Korey Gottschalk	LCB	16	22	19	25	3	3
Bernard Delgado	LCB	66	70	71	71	5	1
Roosevelt Sherman	LCB	23	35	25	36	2	1
Lance Zitnik	LCB	18	29	20	29	2	0
Adrian Collier	RCB	17	22	18	22	1	0
Ron Moeller	FS	10	24	13	28	3	4
Mel Grier	FS	20	43	21	38	1	-5
Kerry Andersen	FS	23	47	25	41	2	-6
Trevor Gomez	SS	12	39	15	41	3	2

Delgado looks to be a stud in the making, and the other creeping should make this group above average fairly soon.

OVERALL: Obviously we've got a few years until we're competitive, but I like our roster, especially the offense. I'll be using an offensive philosophy that I call "The Lowcountry Shuffle." It's a mixture of the "West Coast" and "Play Action Vertical Passing" philosophies that I made public. It makes heavy use of the Adjustments screen to move between the two philosophies at various points of the game. I had a lot of fun working out the mathematics for this. Depending on how the game plays out, you could see nearly 100% usage of one philosophy or the other, or you could see the team switch philosophies multiple times during the same game.

Year 1 Summary

Things went better than I would have guessed, especially considering that O.J. Winters missed most of three games with an injury. we had some nice development, including CB Delgado going up to 81/81, and QB Briggs getting up to 40/48. The longest injury was a 6-weeker to backup TE Garvin, so no worries on that front yet.

Ben E Lou · 12-25-2007, 06:18 AM

Winters and Schmidgall win the ROY awards.

SE Jerry Reeves goes to summer league, six he only gained six current points last year despite participating in around 750 plays.

Year 2 Summary

Maybe I went a little offense-heavy in the draft.

Seriously, I'm just hoping that the rising of the defensive cohesion will get us somewhere in the mediocre range there to enable us to win a title or two. Briggs and those two gazelles should be able to do the rest.

Ben E Lou · 12-26-2007, 04:31 AM

2010 Offseason.

Biggest early news is that O.J. Winters has continued to creep like mad, and probably is a Dusty Ford/Swamp Thing kind of player. He's up to 71/71 after FA1, that's +33 overall. Now if he can just stay healthy for an entire year (missed all or part of 9 games in his first two years)...

I definitely hit the jackpot on the QB/RB/TE/WR/WR group. As a whole, they were +29 in FA1 this year. As of FA1:1, they are:

QB Briggs, 1(3), 23/43-->54/54
RB Winters, 2(1), 38/38-->71/71
TE Middleton, 3(1), 23/44-->55/55
WR Newman, 1(9),31/51-->62/62
WR Reeves, 2(5), 24/45-->61/61

Turf will be upgraded for the 2013 season. That should help with injuries. I've also hired a H.C. who is Excellent in avoiding injuries, and bumped up the training room time a bit.

Briggs gained 2 more formations (up to 14 now) in training camp, with 22 intelligence. The backups also look pretty close to their capacities, so I'll scale back on playbook the rest of the way and get some extra help in other areas, especially injuries.

No significant gains in 2010TC (none that were > +2), but two big losses for backup WRs Chad Turnbull (now 11/16) and Grant Dagostino (now 16/26). Keeping the two starters healthy is going to become absolutely critical to success here, it appears. Big misses on Turnbull and Dagostino for me.

Ben E Lou · 12-26-2007, 05:06 AM

First longer injury, and it's at my position group of least depth: RT Clyde Powell gets a broken foot (O10) in the last week of preseason.

Year 3 Summary

The defense improved quite a bit, I presume due to cohesion improving. (We're now up to 95-92-93-90 there.) We won the exact same awards as last season:

AWARDS
MVP: Briggs
OPOY: Briggs
1st Team QB: Briggs
1st Team WR: Newman

Ben E Lou · 12-26-2007, 07:34 AM

At the end of the year, only one potential carry-over injury, but it could be important:

Quote:

Vince Schmidgall, RDE - Strained Hamstring, Questionable, return to full strength unknown.

Ben E Lou · 12-26-2007, 06:04 PM

2010 Offseason

Schmidgall has recovered from his hamstring injury

FA1 CREEPING

Winters gives another +4. Up to 75/75 now. Yowza!
No one else gained more than 2 points.
FB Kelly lost 3 points down to 30/30.
No one else lost more than 1 point.

Looks like most of the team is getting very close to the most unmasking I'll see. My plan is to do a full report after training camp of year 6.

TRAINING CAMP

Seemingly-random small veteran increases to FS Kerry Anderson (27/27-->33/33) and RCB Adrian Collier (25/25-->28/28) should help the secondary a little.
Another -9 for WR Grant Dagostino. He's now 12/17, and my #1 choice when I have to position switch to keep a legal roster.

Cohesion took a big jump. It's 100-100-96-98. More importantly, #2 in passing is at 91, and below us at o-line are teams at 96/90/86. We're distancing ourselves now.

2012 Offseason

Stadium Renovation is complete. Everything's "Excellent" now. Should be helpful with injuries.

FA1 CREEPING

Once again, no one changes more than +/- two points, but it's worth noting that O.J. Winters was one of the +2 guys. He now sits at 78/78, or +40 since he was drafted.

Quote:

From: Zack Swift

I have decided to hold out until I receive a new contract.

I believe I made a huge difference on defense last season. I believe I'm very seriously underpaid, and will not report to camp without a new contract.

Heh. He's been starting for five years, finally gets more than 75 tackles (88), and wants a pay raise for it. The gall. This clown has started at MLB every season, and doesn't even lead the team in tackles.

TRAINING CAMP

Aging is starting to kick in now. 11 guys lost 3 points or more. We also have one minor veteran boom in LCB Roosevelt Sherman: 33/33-->39/39. Biggest hit is to RB Winters. He's down to 69/69.

Year 6 Summary

We were *VERY* injury-free this year in our new digs. We actually entered the postseason with zero injuries. The cohesion seems to be really helping the defense. It's certainly not ratings or game plan that's causing it. I have made slight 1st and 10 changes for defense for postseason games only, based on whether I perceive the opponent to be more of a threat passing or running, but nothing dramatic. The swing has been between 40 and 55% run expectation on 1st and 10, with zero other changes. (On offense, I've used nothing but the Lowcountry Shuffle since preseason game one of this challenge.)

AWARDS

QB Briggs gets the full quad-fecta.

2013 Offseason

DE Henry Turnbull retires. Not a good idea to give a guy 10+ starts for four consecutive seasons, then relegate him to only 89 plays in 2013. Oops. I have a strong suspicion this retirement was very avoidable.

No significant creeping in either direction in FA1...

TRAINING CAMP
Definite aging now. 16 guys lose 3 points or more.

The dominos may begin to fall now. After the retirement, I got hit with some DL injuries in preseason. The upshot is that in order to stay legal, I'm forced to play DT Garrard with a strained hamstring and a High risk of re-injury, for possibly as many as seven weeks (when the "Out" guy returns.) If Garrard gets re-injured, I will have to position-switch someone, probably a linebacker.

Ben E Lou · 12-27-2007, 11:30 AM

Actually got another DL injury, and had to position-switch MLB Godfrey.

Ben E Lou · 12-27-2007, 11:36 AM

CB Joel Pancake ruptures his Achilles' Tendon around midseason. That could be another retirement.

And then later this season, we get hit with LB injuries, and end up position-switching S Grier.

Year 7 Summary

Injuries all over the place this season led to us having three 1000-yard receivers, and with a little luck, all that divided-up playing time might help us with retirements. Dominant team. Too bad we couldn't do it in the postseason.

Year 9 Summary

Injuries all over the place, and I needed to play several guys who sucked to keep them happy. Missed the playoffs.

I had to play Mirer some, as he was getting Angry. Didn't want him to jump ship and retire. If I hadn't, it's possible that Griggs would have had thrown 50 TDs.

I'm left with 45 players. I'll TRY to get through this next season, but there's virtually no chance.

Trying this with what will undoubtedly be my last camp:

Ben E Lou · 12-27-2007, 03:17 PM

Oh well. Lost two guys to injury in the preseason, putting me at 43 and unable to continue.

.600 winning percentage = 60 points
96 wins = 96 points
5 conference titles = 10 points
4 championships = 8 points
TOTAL=174 points.

Ben E Lou · 12-27-2007, 04:50 PM

As I posted elsewhere, the docs are wrong about hte positional requirements. I played 11 more games before I was truly done, so updated score is:

.590 winning percentage = 59 points
101 wins = 101 points
5 conference titles = 10 points
4 championships = 8 points
TOTAL=178 points.

I don't know if you read my thread yet, but around season 3 or 4 I think, I noticed that OJ Winters was my RBs top competition- and he came from the same draft... was wondering how many people nailed him

korme · 12-27-2007, 08:25 PM

You sir, are a better FOF player than me, 4 titles, holy shit. My failure was not getting even a passable QB.

Quite honestly, I got a bit lucky with Winters. I was pretty sure he'd be a very good player, but he wasn't really on my target list, either. But when he fell to 2(1), he became a "best player available" pick. I just didn't think he'd be THAT good. If I had, I would have grabbed him with one of the top 10 picks I had.

As far as the QB situation, I did identify Briggs as a top QB, and that made a *huge* difference. He was a lot better than any of the others. I talked with Quik some this afternoon, and he said that Briggs was very good on an AI team in his career, too. It's not terribly difficult to do well with a top-tier QB, two very good WRs, and a top-tier RB.

Sky, I picked up Winters at like 1.28 IIRC, same experience. I really think that 10 point drop you had with him was random bust/injury though, and not aging. He stayed healthy on my team and when my career died in 2017 he was still mid 60s. Absolute monster.

I played GSOT offense, and he put up like 14-1600/6-900 every year, with atleast 15 combined touchdowns.

Winters missed most of three games with an injury. we had some nice development, including CB Delgado going up to 81/81, and QB Briggs getting up to 40/48. The longest injury was a 6-weeker to backup TE Garvin, so no worries on that front yet. __________________ The media don't understand the kinds of problems and pressures 54 million come wit'!

Ben E Lou Morgado's Favorite Forum Fascist Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC	Year 2 Summary Maybe I went a little offense-heavy in the draft. Seriously, I'm just hoping that the rising of the defensive cohesion will get us somewhere in the mediocre range there to enable us to win a title or two. Briggs and those two gazelles should be able to do the rest.

Ben E Lou Morgado's Favorite Forum Fascist Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC	2010 Offseason. Biggest early news is that O.J. Winters has continued to creep like mad, and probably is a Dusty Ford/Swamp Thing kind of player. He's up to 71/71 after FA1, that's +33 overall. Now if he can just stay healthy for an entire year (missed all or part of 9 games in his first two years)... I definitely hit the jackpot on the QB/RB/TE/WR/WR group. As a whole, they were +29 in FA1 this year. As of FA1:1, they are: QB Briggs, 1(3), 23/43-->54/54 RB Winters, 2(1), 38/38-->71/71 TE Middleton, 3(1), 23/44-->55/55 WR Newman, 1(9),31/51-->62/62 WR Reeves, 2(5), 24/45-->61/61 Turf will be upgraded for the 2013 season. That should help with injuries. I've also hired a H.C. who is Excellent in avoiding injuries, and bumped up the training room time a bit. Briggs gained 2 more formations (up to 14 now) in training camp, with 22 intelligence. The backups also look pretty close to their capacities, so I'll scale back on playbook the rest of the way and get some extra help in other areas, especially injuries. No significant gains in 2010TC (none that were > +2), but two big losses for backup WRs Chad Turnbull (now 11/16) and Grant Dagostino (now 16/26). Keeping the two starters healthy is going to become absolutely critical to success here, it appears. Big misses on Turnbull and Dagostino for me. __________________ The media don't understand the kinds of problems and pressures 54 million come wit'!

Ben E Lou Morgado's Favorite Forum Fascist Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC	Year 3 Summary The defense improved quite a bit, I presume due to cohesion improving.

Ben E Lou Morgado's Favorite Forum Fascist Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC	Year 6 Summary We were VERY injury-free this year in our new digs. We actually entered the postseason with zero injuries. The cohesion seems to be really helping the defense. It's certainly not ratings or game plan that's causing it. I have made slight 1st and 10 changes for defense for postseason games only, based on whether I perceive the opponent to be more of a threat passing or running, but nothing dramatic. The swing has been between 40 and 55% run expectation on 1st and 10, with zero other changes. (On offense, I've used nothing but the Lowcountry Shuffle since preseason game one of this challenge.)

Ben E Lou Morgado's Favorite Forum Fascist Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC	The dominos may begin to fall now. After the retirement, I got hit with some DL injuries in preseason. The upshot is that in order to stay legal, I'm forced to play DT Garrard with a strained hamstring and a High risk of re-injury, for possibly as many as seven weeks (when the "Out" guy returns.) If Garrard gets re-injured, I will have to position-switch someone, probably a linebacker. __________________ The media don't understand the kinds of problems and pressures 54 million come wit'!

korme Go Reds Join Date: May 2001 Location: Bloodbuzz Ohio	I don't know if you read my thread yet, but around season 3 or 4 I think, I noticed that OJ Winters was my RBs top competition- and he came from the same draft... was wondering how many people nailed him
