Breaking News
Thomas Bradley our starting MLB and former first rounder Otis Cramer have been shipped away to the terror for draft capital
Honestly
Bradley needed a new contract which I have hardly any cap for and Cramer just disappoints me

More news
We have traded Kenneth Rainey QB to the demons for a 1st fourth and fifth round pick
Reason
He looked good last year but this year he was bad and we are moving in a different direction

Traded Joe Warner and this yrs third for young LT Moizous and two third one next year and one the next year
Reason
Getting younger and more draft capital

You did good on the first two deals. This one I don't like. Didn't get enough in return for your tackle. Warner wasn't that old.

yeah that's fair hopefully the draft capital makes up for it

week 9
I am now fully convinced that this team wants to go 0-16, we led the Hound Dogs for most of the game and somehow gave up the lead with under two minutes left.
Good Takeaways
Doyle (QB) had a pretty good game
The running backs actually did something
Roden is devolving nicely
The O Line was pretty Solid
The pass rush had like three sacks
Negatives
That final offensive play calling was woeful
Butch Coolidge needs to more consistent if he made that kick early we would have had a much greater lead
Too many drops
All in all we should have won that game

woo hoo
we are not going 0-16, we beat the London Ravens 16-9, our offense did well, Roden and Keil both had big catches, even Hugo was involved, Stephen Doyle looks solid, the running backs ran the ball well, this game gives me hope
Also both the defense and special teams did their job well

Offseason Report
We had no retirements
we resigned Sherman Urbina
and brought back both Doyle and Wallace (btw this qb draft class looks horrible) and others
Look out for the draft report

Draft Class
Wayne Batson CB- second overall pick out of Bowling Green, great speed and is expected to be an all around star
Mike Jeffrey MLB- 20th overall pick out of Indiana who has 80+ speed with good tackling and coverage agility
George Knight DT- taken 25th out of Pitt, hopefully he will actually be good unlike most first round DTs (Babbitt) slightly undersized also only 6 foot
Steve Dickerson WR- second round Wideout out of Washington, not a burner but is expected to be a savvy route runner
Luke Thole C- he got cut, his blocking stats are too horrible to be useful as anything other than a longsnapper which i am not spending a third round pick on particularly with cap difficulties
Mike Franklin TE- the blocking small schooler who can catch reasonably well may be something special
George Philips LG- he was another candidate for a voided contract (I am definitely changing my player rating schemes for Linemen after this draft) but I will see what happens
Steve Thoma WLB- good zone coverage/ run defending backer from Bama, he should be helpful
Edward Houston QB- 6 foot pocket passer out of Wisconsin, accurate but not a very strong arm might be a good backup
Tyler Vaugh DB- initially a CB will now be a FS good zone and run defense, should be a good backup/ emergency starter

Offseason Time
Retirements
Bryan Goin C- starter for last two years
Jerry Kane- HC (6-26) Went out on his own terms(may have fired him)
