    Team Weaknesses and Strengths

    Forget trash talk, forget the rest of the draft. Lets get down to some good old fashioned football talk.

    I am curious to see who thinks what of each current team thus far. Forget the rest of the draft. I would have to say right now I like the Bushwackers offensivley, and the Assassins on the D.

    The Bushwackers have a great young O. Very very VERY fast with Vick at QB, and two very young fast athletic recievers, they have a young pass catching TE who was a probowler last season and helped San Diego go to the playoffs.

    I think the Outlaws are comparable and I think we have built our teams very similarly. We both have a very young recieving corps as well as a young TE with great hands (we have Witten he has Gates). I think right now we are both lacking at OL but with Dillon in the backfield for me and Green in the backfield for him we have bruising RB's who can pound the ball all day.

    While I am certainly kind of partial look at the numbers. The Outlaws grabbed 3 WR's all with 1K+ in yardage and over 30 TD's. If that isnt enough the Outlaws have a TE in Witten who adds 6-7 more TD's and almost another 1000 yards. Then Dillon in the backfield who added 1600+ yards with another 12 TD's on the ground all the while with Brady directing traffic. Thats a hell of an O.

    The Assassins have an amazingly young, athletic D. His secondary is 2nd to none, and he has a sick LB corps. While everyone so far has "decent" D's I think the Assassins overall have the youth, big-play ability and have drafted so well on the secondary side of things that it will be very tough to get a great passing game going against them.

    Overall Leader on Offense: Bushwackers
    Overall Leader on Defense: Assassins

    My Offense will be solidified after round 13. My D, on the other hand is a bit suspect, especially in the line.

    Thats the point of the thread. Teams thus far not what they will be.

    Really? Assassins? I think they're too young and may have reached for a few of them. I think mine and the Brewsers are the 2 best defenses. Bushwhackers are up there at the glamour positions but not much on the offensive line. Eb and Erie have nice setups so far offensively.

    Eb and the assassins have fantastics lines, but on the O I have to wonder about playmaker ability.

    The assassins D is just sick. Age wont matter in the sim so age is of no concern. So all that matters is stats. And I think this season and next Rich is in awesome shape.

    Agreed. My O-line will be very good after this round. I GUARANTEE it.

    The ratings matter the most in the sim and those young players were rated pretty low compared to where they were drafted.

    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    no one has a bad team, the point was to analyze where everyone was at currently. After 12 Rounds most of the CORE group of starters should be in place.

    My team is evenly balanced right now, nothing sticks out except Manning and Owens.

    having only Corey Simon on the OL probably means i am weak at that spot.
