Brees is at the helm, 90, and only 28, with 4 years left.
Bush is 81/90 and starting, ehh backups.
Kearney 81/83 is our FB.
Colston is the #1 guy at 86/91, with Moore 64/71 at the 2 and Morgan in the slot. Our biggest need on offense for next year.
Invitee Glenn Dickerson is at the Te 63/75. (Would be a decent receiving 2 at maxed potential)
Our line is Brown 91/93, Nesbit 76, Faine 87/89, Evans 84/89, and Stinchcomb 77. Decent, but not great.
Our ends are Dumervil 89/90 and Smith 85/86, with Smith 82 and his fat contract backing up both. (He's a solid backup, but not worth the 5.6 mil he is getting this year)
Campbell 81/87 and Moore 84/91 are the guys of the D, while my backers consist of Suggs 87/88, Vilma 86/88, and Keith "The Beast" Rivers 89/95.
Trufant is our main guy in the backs 90/91, while Young is our 2 71/82 and udfa Williams is the nickel 71/79.
Bullocks 77/79 plays Free while Harper 76/79 plays strong side.
Serna kicks while Knorr punts.
In other news, Meachem was cut to clear roster and cap space, and waiver guy Dante Hall has taken his place, who will now return kicks for our team.
Also relevant to the team, training camp invitee Irv Neysmith has made the team. He peaks at 90 potential, at 58 overall right now.
His attributes are 78/88 Thp, 66/97 Tha, 27/97 Awr, 74/82 speed, 75 and 79/85 accel and agility, respectively, and 25/90 learning. What a find! He reminds me of Rodgers irl but with a lot less zing, so maybe a quick Hasselbeck?
Preseason
Game 1 at Arizona 38-7 NO. Bush had a game receiving, 4-120-2, Campbell with 2 sacks, and 5 picks for our D.
Game 2 vs Houston 31-14 Hou. We played terribly but Campbell had another sack!
Game 3 at Cincinnati lost 24-21. Preseason, so who cares? Brees threw 2 and Campbell had another sack.
Game 4 vs Miami (Before this game I signed the most underrated player in HC09, Fs Ko Simpson, he'll start, cause he's awesome) 45-20 NO passing was good.
Preseason over; and although my owner thinks an under .500 is gonna happen, I'll promise the opposite and tell him we'll finish with at least 9 wins in the bag. I have also cut Moore and signed vet Eddie Kennison to be the slot guy so Morgan be be #2.
Draft path given is the Zazzali path (Yay, one of the two I'm not too good at). Goals: 3 of 4 to start, beat Minnesota week 5 and Atlanta week 10; resign Faine (Yes), Smith (no), Vilma (likely), Evans (yes), Colston (Rfa); DROY, and finish with 80 approval. Doable are all of the above.
Because I didn't post a draft recap, here are some notes: Ryan to Atl, good pick. St Louis got Gholston, bust at his position (here's hoping I can pick him up of the waiver wore). DMac to NE (bs) and my goodness there were a lot of poor picks in this draft irl. Brohm went to Miami too, along with Jake Long. Good for them.
First year expectations? A solid team with a lot of high scoring to begin the year, as the offense knows their playbill, but the Defense is learning theirs. Up first versus Tampa Bay in week 1.
