Training Camp Reports Cards

[dthompso8]

Mules management are crying into their beers tonight as 1st round rookie OLB Reed has proven to be a bust going -4/-16 in camp while the other player they considered with the pick looks like a real star OLB..

In fact TC looks like it could have ended the Mules run as 15 players went at least -3/-3 many much more than that.. the surprise one seeing SS Riley drop -9/-9 in his 5th season...

Everyone on the Matadors rookie roster improved pretty decently, I don't think we had any player bust.

Bazooka gained a formation and he's up to 13...gotta keep plugging away at that and keep adding to his repertoire...

[Chris Rex]

I actually had a small boom for the first time. I am usually the one looking at reports Jealously! Could not come at a better position, with my star SLB retiring...

[Beeznik]

The end is near.

Don't you mean, the end is here?

Don't you mean, the end is here?

Living on cohesion this season. I think we have one more division title in us. Plus, you dont know how to beat me yet.

1.11 DT Donovan Punzel, 66/71: I nearly wet myself watching him fall to the 11th spot and I scooped him up quicker than a frogs fart. He needs to build endurance but that shouldn't be an issue as I'll play him as much as his fat ass can take.
Grade: A+

1.25 DT Bart Daniels, 43/70: Another effer that hasn't signed yet. But there's no question he's going to start from day 1. I was ecstatic when he was still on the board at 1.25 and look forward to he and Punzel clogging the middle for the next decade.
Grade: A+

2.9 QB Tim "Whipper" Watson, 20/42: Smart, I like his bars. I expect him to be above 60 at some point, it just depends on how much I play him early which is a conundrum.
Grade: B

2.10 WR Daryl Breeze, 28/51: My 2nd stab at getting a #1 receiver (Jake Pinkney being an unfortunate 1st attempt in 2016), my fear is that he turns out more like Pinkney than a #1 but we'll see. The rub here, like with Watson, is playing time. I moved him to flanker to take Pinkneys job but the more I think about it the more I may try putting them both out there at once. We'll see.
Grade: B-

3.8 FS Alvin Halama, 26/54: He projects to be a very good one on one defender who can stop the run. His high endurance makes him a candidate for a starting spot and his interception bar is nice. I really like his skill set and he will compete for the starting Free Safety spot right away.
Grade: B

3.16 DE James Tompkins, 13/57: Still an unknown but I think he'll be able to do everything well. It's just a case of getting him signed and getting him on the field. Pissed that he missed camp but once he signs I can't mess around with him. He'll need to play to improve and I'll likely find a starting spot for him even if I have to bring my purer pass rushers in on passing downs.
Grade: B

4.30 SS Bill Wijaya, 19/46: Not a sexy or a pretty pick but he's solid on special teams, is smart as a whip, can defend the run and has high INT bars. I can slot him in as my 6th or 7th man in the secondary and not worry too much.
Grade: C

4.31 WR Bernard Parker, 20/41: I really don't think he'll translate into anything special but he will probably get the nod as my 3rd WR over Jamal Patton. Man, I really flubbed it with Pinkney & Patton in 2016 which has made me question every WR move I've made since then.
Grade: C

When IFL started I had a pair of stud DTs. I never could figure a way too get the production I wanted from them.

[Suicane]

Well I can't seem to get the production I want from anyone I have so.....
