Week 9 Pregame Discussion

[Aston]

A week after the 0-7 LAC Xtreme post 370 passing yards on our defense, we have the pleasure of welcoming Walter Andrews and the Ohio Valley Showboats.

Andrews is basically a fully realized, veteran Covington. Only he has a major, major weapon in WR Neal Howe, who'll probably be doing some showboating, especially as Utah prepares to play this game without its top corner this year, Mitchell Prescott.

The Showboats are a team that should not be 2-5 right now. Best of luck to you Sharkn!

WR depth chart reset:
Only a few weeks after Hunter Vandersommen was demoted and apparently put out to pasture, he reclaimed his position in the Utah receiving corps with a splash. Hunter's now the presumptive starter in Bryan Sidharta's place.

The Bees got a good look from rookie Wade Morton as well, who went 2/2 - 29 yards from the WR5 slot today. This guy was unstoppable in the preseason, I mean he was just a force. I don't know, it might be hard to keep denying him chances ...

But the splash was made by 11th-year new signing Zach Coughlin. A former first-round pick for the almighty Columbus Empire, Coughlin is still really, really explosive, and put up good stats as recently as last season, with Morgantown. And by good I actually mean sorta eye-popping: 70.5% reception rate, and nearly 9 yards per target!

This is a guy I can envision being a starter out wide at SE. His low RR is his only fault and while I suspect that's a little bit more meaningful than "just target %", it might help funnel the balls to Alvin Foley -- as an extra bonus.

Regardless, looking forward to working out the kinks on offense. A lot to be excited about with these receivers.

This is the most major moment this far for the Totems. Are we real contenders or just a bunch of pretenders?

The best way to find out is to play the Columbus Catfish. (Yuma would also be acceptable, but they always beat me... The closest I came was a week when i was rexed and my secondary leader was cut causing conflicts in my secondary. I guess that's an indictment of my game plans vs Yuma.)

Pearl Harbor looks happy at 5-2 right now
some consistent offensive production has helped
and defense has closed out many games so far
Looking forward to tomorrow's game

Another AC West travel and expect to be pounded by the expert Nutah and his Bees!!! Glad to play against u again man!!

Meanwhile the game stay on the line I'll be coaching in the sideline but when the bees start to roll over I'll pick my bag and go to see the Jazzs playing basket!! Maybe be more interesting than other crush on the road!! Seems that we only can win our divisional games!!!

Sure that Neal Howe will be covered all the day, then is time forErickson and Hargrave to step up and maybe find some holes between the defenders to haul balls threw by the veteran Covington and make some noise!!

We don't like Dakota.

We don't like Dakota.

My prediction is Tubbs throws far fewer than 5 interceptions this time.

Shark! fyi, if you run a 3-4 defense, your WLB is basically your 4th defensive lineman, and is the same thing more or less as a 4-3 RDE. So you want him to have run stopping and more importantly, pass rushing ability.

So maybe swap Farmer and Woods in your lineup!

[Sharkn20]

Wow man!! Thanks a lot! Maybe I can switch to 4-3 the next year...

I donŽt know that my WLB is a extra DE... In the next sim IŽll change that In this IŽm trying to do some things different and give two contracts extensions... Too much work for the 5:55 am in Spain, recently the Monday Night ends and IŽll go to sleep

Thanks again!!

In the 4-3 in Front Office Football the LDE and the RDE rush the passer.

In the 3-4, the LDE and the WLB are your pass rushers.

4-3 generally requires: A more talented RDE. More talented DT's. Talented overall LBs.

3-4 generally requires: Specialized LBs for each position, average DT, Run stopping RDE, pass rushing LDE and pass rushing WLB.

And in the 3-4 what suppose that do my RE?? IŽm wrong to put Omar OŽNeill in this position??

Should I put here Bran Thomas and Omar OŽNeill in the LE??

In the 3-4 Omar O'Neill should be played at LDE.

[Sharkn20]

In the 3-4 Omar O'Neill should be played at LDE.
