~~~Rise from the Ashes~~~Coach Clark Dynasty(HC 09)

[DC72582]

Kansas City Star- Well when the Chiefs were brung in Herm Edwards to coach this team they expected to be a pretty good team in the next few years. Well after a 9-7 season he went 4-12. He has not met the expectations and the Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has decided to fire not just Coach Herm Edwards but also Carl Peterson. Peterson ran multiple jobs in the front office and could not produce anything.


The Chiefs have hired a new VP of football operations and he will be Scott Pioli who brought the New England Patriots back to the top of the NFL. Pioli said," I want to come in and bring this team back from the Ashes. They have not had success in ecent years losing 6 straight playoff games. I will bring a Lombardi Trophy to Arrowhead Drive. I will decide who I bring in as the new head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1 week."


1 week later

Kansas City Star- The Chiefs new VP Scott Pioli has interviewed many potential coaches but he has decided on bringing in Coach Drew Clark from NorthWestern Missouri State from the ranks of Division 2. Clark has had great success and loves the Chiefs. He has a good system and is a defensive minded coach. He loves to pound the ball up the gut of the defense. Pioli said the the intorduction news conference that " He thought Clark is the type of guy that can have success at any level of football. He is a great coach and a great man."

Re: ~~~Rise from the Ashes~~~Coach Clark Dynasty(HC 09)

Looks like it's gonna be a great dynasty, I'll be following.
Just a few questions:
1. What skills you bought? Do you allow special skills for your coaches?
2. What is your slider setting?
3. Are u starting from pre season or off season?
4. Why put undersize DE in a 3-4? It doesn't seems to match for me.

Anyways, just write whatever you want to say as if ur talking to your friends about it. Try to switch between 1st person and 3rd person perspective. And yeah, I'll be following.

1. I used 2 on chemistry, performance, play calling, and strategy. Added One on physical of QB, RB, WR, OL, LB, and DB. Added One intagibles of QB, WR, OL, DL, LB, and DB. Added one on learning of QB, WR, OL, DL, LB, and DB. No I do not use special skills.
2.Default sliders
3.Off-Season
4. Yea I was looking at that and was going to change it but didnt.


Thanks.

K if ur calling all your plays and not simming games then play calling and stategy are useless. Chemistry is one of the least important skill. What u should do is get the performence high, because it affects the performance of the players on the field. Then use the rest of the points on a branch of special skills. Say if ur pass heavy get the QB special skills, ect. I suggest u restart and make the skills right. Or if ur already deep into the season then just go on and start adding performance. It is the most important skill for coaches.

Preseason Week #1 @ Chicago

Our defense played a tough game. We sacked their QB 4 times. Hali, Long, McBride, and Mitchell all had 1. Eugene Wilson picked off Joe Flacco twice and Surtain had 1 off of Ballard. On the offensive side of the ball we could not do anything but kick FGs. We had 6 total field goals. Justin Medlock made 2 and Colquitt had 4. Serna was used as the KOS. We had a total of 9 punts, that is way too much to be punting. Even though we could not put the ball in the endzone we found a way to win this game in OT 18-15. Andre Woodson had 178 yards on 14-20. Orton and Croyle could not do anything. LJ had 1 rush attempt for 5 yards and the running game was nonexistent.

Drew Clark was recorded saying,"we came out knowing that this game is nothing but an audition for a starting job. We had a great day on the defensive side of the ball and thats what we are going to need in the regular season if we want to make the playoffs. I am proud of my guys coming out and picking up the win even if it is meaningless.

Re: ~~~Rise from the Ashes~~~Coach Clark Dynasty(HC 09)

Preseason Week #2 Home against the Cardinals


Once again our defense was tougher than nails. We did give up a long run but other than that they just had two FGs. Chris Long and Jeremy Leman had a sack on McCown and McBride recorded his 2nd of the preseason on pretty boy Matt Leinart. We forced one turnover on a fumble that was forced by Geno Hayes and he recovered it too. Our rookies on defense today had a big today from Long and Leman's sacks to Hayes forced fumble and recovery. On the offensive side of the ball we had a screen play that went for 67 yards to Jamaal Charles. That was the only highlight of the offense. We went 11-24 for 187 yards. Orton played a half and went 3 for 11. Croyle and Woodson played a quarter and both went 4-6. Johnson was doing good on the ground with 40 yards on 9 attempts. We ended up coming out on top 19-13.

Yea I love building through the draft and getting some pretty good players in FA. Usually I don't do great in my first season but once my younger players develop I have a good team.

Preseason Week #3 @ Miami


We came out horrible on both sides of the ball being shut out 21-0 in the first quarter. We scored 2 TDs in the second quarter but missed the xp and gave up another TD. We went into the half down 28-13. The second half was all ours. We shut them out the 3rd quarter and had a huge pass for a TD. The 4th quarter was a different story. We allowed a FG in the opening seconds. Smith had a TD run and then we couldnt convert the 2 pt. conversion. We scored again on a Woodson to Bennett connection. We completed the two point conversion to go up by three with 30 secs. left. On the next kickoff we gave up a 98 yard return for a TD that won the game. We lost 38-34 but didnt quit fighting. We went 18-26 for 245 yards and 3 TDs and our first int of the preseason. Our rushing game was nonexistent as we went for 44 yards on 20 attempts averagin 2.2 yards per carry. On the defensive side of the ball we played horrible. Giving up 38 points, 21 of them in the first quarter. Sure it was our 2nd and 3rd team in there against there 1st team but 21 points in a single quarter is not acceptable. Kawika Mitchell had 5 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 int. Will Poole had a int that might have saved him another week on the team."This was one of the last chances for most of the players on this team. It is up to the coaching staff and Mr. Pioli to decide who we cut this week. These our the toughest cuts," Coach Clark said.

Govenor's Cup 09 St. Louis vs. Kansas City


This is the only game that we really care about winning in the preseaon. We want to have these bragging rights to say that we are the best Missouri team. Well unfortunately we came out thinking that the Rams were going to give us the trophy. We gave up 22 first downs and we had 8. We were shut out in the fisrt half 20-0. We did not run it very much 6 times total for 3 yards. We went 14-39 for 232 yards and 2 TDs. Our defense could not get to Bulger. The only bright part of our defense was Derrick Jonhson's interception. Stephen Jackson ran all over us. He had 130 yards on 18 attempts and that was only in one half of play. I would hate to see what he wouldve done if he played a full game. We lost 30-14. Unacceptable.
