Locker Room Atmosphere

[Mel Kiper Jr]

Here is a look at team chemistry, from best to worst, using a scale I made up:

1 Pittsburgh 39
2 Dakota 32
3 Hartford 30
4 Portland 29
5 St Louis 27
6 Vermont 21
7 Murfreesboro 19
8 Anchorage 18
9 Cleveland 17
10 Iowa City 17
11 Oakland 17
12 Reno 17
13 Little Rock 16
14 West Virginia 16
15 Houston 15
16 Tulsa 15
17 Albuquerque 14
18 Madison 14
19 Wichita 14
20 Newark 12
21 Salt Lake City 12
22 Lawrence 11
23 Norfolk 11
24 Montreal 10
25 Columbia 7
26 Texas 7
27 Orlando 5
28 Vancouver 5
29 Boston 4
30 Louisiana 3
31 California 0
32 Lansing -3

If you threw your team together with no regard to chemistry whatsoever, your score would be about a 4.25.

I took a big hit on O-line from getting rid of my disgruntled leader. . .

remember that a lot of teams don't have their starters active, and these could change after week #1.

I credit much of our success to our chemistry. We might not have the best talent, but chemistry can certainly help. I think Pit is in the same boat as us too.

I think he's looking at chemistry (ie affinities and conflicts), not cohesion.

i was taking a look at some of the top teams..and wow, how did you get so many affinities? is it just luck? do you spam free agent offers looking to see who your leaders would want/not want to join the team?

yes, a lot of guys do do that. (I just said do-do)

They are extremely important, though I don't necessarily follow that rule.
