Stats!
Code:
It's not that Arledge wasn't being leaned on as much as previous years, He was. He also didn;t have the WR talent he needed. 45 scks Code:
Lorey had a great season! 1580 rushing yard, 12 rush scores is great. And gives us something from here on out to use and harness. But that's not everything.... Code:
As you can see, Lorey had 700 receiving yards an 5 catchign TDs as well. That is a lot o yards from scrimmage. Wright hit 1000 yards, precisely and had a down year/ TE Walford was having a nice season, too bad his injury stopped him from finishing, that would have been nice. He led the team in TD catches in 13 games. Code:
Scherff was a great additions and played very well. Coleman looks nice and Hamman was no slouch. Graham with a few more sacks allowed than normal though. Code:
At 15 sacks, Horner led the league in sacks. Stanton led the league in both hurries and QB Knocked down, and 12.5 sacks was 7th among all players. 8 aacks for Logan is great as well, and his thrid al pro int eh last six years of this dynasty In tackles, Banda looked nice as well. Code:
You can see we have a lot fewer picks this year. Baxter, Clifford, Tatum. Harrison all had a solid 8 pasdef. Don;t forget we had a lot of injuries in teh S and CB section of the team. |
Team Awards:
Offensive MVP – OG Brandon Scherff – He was on his way to an All Pro season before his injury. He still finished with 33 KRB and 7 pancakes in 12 games. Good job Scherff! Defensive MVP – LB Banda – First All Pro nod – 12- solo tackles, 27 assists, 4.5 sacks, 3 picks, 5 pasdef, 4 FF. 1 rec. He dud a great job and finally had he best season to date. Thanks buddy! Special Teams MVP – CB Clifford He had 2 KR RET TDs What’s even weirder is he only had NIEN RETURNS ON THE SEASON! Normally Fisher is my primary returned, and he had one as well. In fact, Clifford is the only player with more than one KR TD this team. Rookie of the Year – RB Lorey. This year was all about Lorey. And he was fine – 1580 and 12 is a fine rushing season. Add on 700 receiving yards and 5 rec TDS and it’s something good Heart Award – DT Rex Raymond – 6 sacks as a 36/36 last man standing at the DT spot is great. He even had the 2nd most blocked passes for my team with 5. Dude was good! Another Brown Out from the D Line. Three All Pros, a 6 sacks from Raymond. Even in a down year, we still had 42 sacks from those folks |
I need to commit more to this challenge. I can’t be content getting my QB wins. I need him to set records. Right now, he’s more of a caretaker that hands the ball off and makes the safe pass. And that works. But… we need to get him fixed.
I need WR help. After 6 years there are Arledge, Ryan. Newton, Luck, Goff, Dalton, Garoppolo, It’s time to make some changes, I’m thinking… End Season: Team Performance 86 Value – 84 Profit – 76 Roster 2 76 score Retirees of note: TE Gronk, Fleener, Julis Thomas WR Demaryius Thomas, Crabtree, Dez, Mcluster OG Beadles, Nate Solder, DE Robert Quinn, Cameron Jordan, NDam Suh, Derrocl S TJ Ward, Tashaun Gipson, Mike Mitchell, etc Hall of fame inductees – Ware, Wilfork, and Witten Our stadium reno is finished with a brand new parking lot |
Roone must be so proud of his boy!

I suppose so!

Meet our new Head Coach – Mickey Harrison – was head coach of GB and Chicago. Better than our previous at everything that matters save Young talent, where he’s about 25 or so (around 50 vs 70).
Meet our new Defensive Coordinator – Tyrus Savea, a 3-4 Eagle enthusiasts! I need to change this up. I select a new AC – Brain Chu, specialist with secondary For a cast of 13.8 mill, I tag Stanton The person with the most sacks in a career is Bruce Smith at 200. Stanton has 75 in the first five years. Most sacks in a game was Thomas with 7.0, until someone got 7.5 baby. (Horner) Horner has 100 sacks in 6 seasons. Major Players on FA: DT Rex Raymond TE Hardy Downs That’s it actually |
Free Agency!
We are 7.2 mill under the cap. We are below the cap needed with our draft picks. We do have 45 players on our roster right now. So we need to figure out our roster: Major players in final year of their deal – TE Walford, DeValve FL Wright, Hawkins DT Logan SS Joseph LT Hannam, Ellison P Emerson C Graham, Rivers DE Dunn and Stanton CB Clifford FS Baxter K Crosby LS Newsome That is a lot of players. Mission critical players include Wright, Coleman I cut Hawkins. He’s dropped to 46/46, and he’s too pricey. I have a liot of players entering year 7 that have been with my first draft or that FA Class – Shon Coleman, Devalve, Emerson, Newsome, Dunn, DT Raymond, DE Horner, C Graham and QB Arledge. But it’s time to cut some of these players I’ve had with me the whole dynasty. Good bye Devalve. I need that 2 mill. I extend Emerson two more years. Newsom for vet min sal. At the age of 32, Logan has dropped to 57/57. Even if I extend him by one year, and drop his cap hit this year by 2 mill, and just 6 mill next, that’s a lot for a guy who’s aging and dropping. Cutting Logan is the key to clearing up space on my team. But it permanently breaks up the band in a major way. Now a couple of things. Logan is my defensive front leader, idolized, and ideal front fit in as a DT in the 3-4. So I don’t have to find a different guy for my team. But I need to resign a lot of players as you can see. So I cut Logan. I make offers to some RFAs: RB Angus and Strickland LCB Fiebelkorn and RCB Porter I can resign these starters for either small bonuses, or very little increases in salary – C Graham, Coleman, SS Joseph. Coleman is 30. Graham is okay but not amazing, and Joseph ahas been disappointing but not sucky. But they aren’t about this year, but future years. I go ahead and extend Coleman, I hold off on graham, there are a pair of good OCs in the draft, in case I wind up with one. I move forward a week to see what FAs want Last yeaer, LT HHannam was 28 KRB and 8 sacks allowed and 2 pacackes. He is rated in the high 40s these days, and has 56 rub, 69 pass, 0 str, and 47 end. There is a guy, same age, in the FA< who would have the same cap hit this year, and if I extend Hannam would be 2 mill fewer. So I make an offer to Lt Donovan Smith for three years. I sign UFA QB Kelley |
I need:
TEx3 Staring WR WR OG Starting DT for 3-4 LB? I have Kirksey, Banda, Horton and Nelson. But the 3-4 Eagle often starts a LB in the DT spot. CB S I have 47 players under contract right now. I have no 2nd rounder, but 9 total picks. So I can build the depth and middle of my roster. I start with some interviews. DT first. WR Second. There are 4 stud Qbs in the in the draft. And another very good TE. I need to renovate my receivers WR Sterling shepherd is a FA, and 64/63, but 7th eyar and wants 32 mill over 4 years. I could see myself making a play for Shepard if I didn’t have to resign Wright. The next best is 52/52 Antoniio Brown or Ralph Conley. There are no major options at DT that I love. The best is DT Bernard Brandon. So I move Dunn to NT. He’s better than a lot of these bums. Do I want to make a play for Wright, or save him for tag next year?Let;s hold off for now I’m good for now on chasing FAs Week 4 - Uh oh. We sign Smith yay! But….RB Zeke signed with the Steelers. Yuck I cut Hannam Given the number of draft picks I have, I move to the Draft! |
The 2022 NFL Amateur Draft!
There are a lot of players with nearly perfect bars – MLB Matt Black, QB Cote, DE Hastings, Black will go 1.14 and Hasting 1.15 First player taken is QB Chandler Cote to the Giants. 1.30 arrives. FS Zachery George? FL Rodney Riley? NT Cantwell? DEbailey? Best two WR on the board are: Weston Stacey, four red stats, 68 vol, impression is as scouted – good at avoid drops, getting down field, route, horrible 3rd down, adequate big play, low courage and adjust to ball. Rodney Riley 0 1 red, 3 blues, 26 vol, underrated, grat avoid, downfield, and route, poor 3rd down, low big play, solid courage and adjust. Who do I like more? The underrated one or the as scouted one with the great stats. Hey have identical avoid drops and downfield. Stacey – worse, a bit, in route running; worse in 3rd down, a little better in big play, worse in courage, worse a bit in adjust to ball So Riley has the better stats, and is a kick return specialist. Too. The slightly better underrated bars, or the as scouted red stats. Riley it is. 3.30 – OG Clinton? SS Kempthorn? Kempthron 4.4 – TE Frederickson or Timlin? Mackenzie Timlin Mid 4 – OT Benson? WLB Krauchhick – Krauchick Late 4th OT Benson Late 5th – CB Jose Gonzalez Mid 6th – OG Wyatt Sawyer Late 6th - WR Larry Benning 7.30. WLB Dylan Nichols Amateur Draft Report: Rnd 1 - Rodney Riley, WR, Oregon State Rnd 3 - Scottie Kempthorn, S, Southern California Rnd 4 - Mackenzie Timlin, TE, Louisville Rnd 4 - Willie Benson, T, Wisconsin Rnd 4 - Dean Krauchick, OLB, Arizona State Rnd 5 - Joseph Gonzalez, CB, Kansas Rnd 6 - Larry Bening, WR, Houston Rnd 6 - Wyatt Sawyer, G, Kansas Rnd 7 - Dylan Nichols, OLB, West Virginia |
Riley 30/67
Kemp 23/63 Nichols – 23/63 Krauchick – 33/75 Gonzalez – 29/51 Timlin – 21/48 Sawyer 12/47 Bening 16/38 Benson 22/54 Current post-draft feels B+ rating I just keep getting LBs to fall. The rest of the league doesn’t respect it. And the best DE in ages, better than Stanton, just went 1.22, With a 100 potential rating. There are a few UFAs of interest. The best is Buddy Hatcher , C, with a potential of 71 and I am also making an offer for P Lucas Robertson, with a 70+ potential as well. LCB Harvey Ellard, RB Les Kluge and a few more. Now I still need some TE stuff. We only have two TEs under contract. I offer to UFA Amir Foudray and Edgar Ruddy Week 2 – 2 sign with us. Week 3 – Three more do Week 4 – The last signs. We have 62 people under roster. Anything else? |
CAMP!
Let’s take a look around. Early results on rookies is a bust with P Robertson, Here we are with the first batch: LB KRau 39/75 FL Riley 39/64 SS Kemp 29/62 C Hatc 24/60 LB Nichols 31/60 P 30/57 CB Gonzalez 34/50 T Benson 26/4 CB Ellard 24/42 RB Kluge 35/39 TE Timlin 24/38 SE Bening 19/37 TE Ruddy 27/36 TE Foudray 24/45 RG Sawyer 15/43 I cut: WR cooper Fisher, my returner. Bening is my new retuners, who is a better receiver as well as a potentially better returner RB Les Kluge = Busted in camp OG Duane Auguston CB porter OT Earnest Ellison I extend SE Dustin Wright by 5 years, 60 mill I decide to not make offers to retain either SS Karl Joseph or FS baxter. I finish the preseason 30-1 I cut: P Robertson C Hatcher, dropped to 52 pot CB Ellard SLB Garcia I extend C Graham by 4 years |
Code:
It's like good linebackers just flock to me! |
I wanted to have my F Tag available next year, so I extend Stanton the big, giant cash he wants and needs. That guy is my JJ watt, and I’m not letting him out of my sight
Why is Stanton unwilling to sign for me? It says, due to past injustices my player is unwilling to sign with your team. What injustices? He likes me. He’s content. Looks like the double franchise tag pisses him off. Had I known that, I could have fought for him in FA and not tagged him, or just traded him in the draft to move up higher than the stud DE there was available and just moved him. For now, I’ll keep it as going, and look at potentially tagging Stanton next year and keep him tagged until I have a good replacement. Week 1 – We win 26-6 over the Ravens. MOM is RB Diego Lorey with 23 carries, 153 yard and a score. Arledge was 18 of 29, 148 and 0:0. DE Horner had a fumble and return for a score.

Kelley had 16 of 27 for 1:0, and hit WR Riley for a score. Meanwhile S Miles Tatum gets a pick and returns it for score. We win 34-14.

Season Awards:
Super Bowl MVP – QB Brendan Arledge All League 1st Team – FB Ralph Schuster, DE Julio Stanton, All League 2nd Team – FS Miles Tatum Stats!!! Code:
Not a pretty year for Arledge. He was fine at the half, with 1 pick and like 13 TDs and yards. But the injuries and such slowed him down, and we had a weaker season. He finished 21st in passing yards, tied for 12th in pass TDs, 5th in QB rating Rushing? Code:
Lorey was 3rd in the league in rushing yards Catching? Code:
Down year for QB Arledge leads to a down year here as well Blocking? Code:
Scherff was 4th for OGS for KRB. I was holding out hope for an AllPro 2nd team. Sacks allowed had to hold him back from him 1 KR RET TD FOR WR Rilery K Crosby was 31 of 32 FG, but just 42 of 46 on PAT. Yuck P Emerson - 98 punts, 48.3 avg, 37.6 net DEFENSE! How did the first year of my 3-4 defense do? Code:
Stanton was tied for 3rd in the league with sacks, Horner was 5th. And Dunn was respectable in the DT spot. Coverage? Code:
This was clearly the highlight of the year. CB Schmidtke was 2nd in the league among Cbs with pasdef. With 6 picks, Baxter was tied for the league lead in picks with a pair of corners. With 14 games, Tatum was tied for 2nd in the league in picks and led INT RET TD. Why no Baxeter All Pro? No clue. Here let's look closer: League stats for safeties: Code:
Now SS Reynolds is NFL DPotY, led in pas def, had 4 picks, 2 returned. That;s fine. So the All Pros went to Reynolds, Bumgarner, Tatum and Hoppe. Why Hoppe? No clue! He had a sack? Did he have a bunch of FF? Nope just 1. I have no ideas! |
Team Awards:
Offensive MVP – FB Ralph Schuster. During the preseason I asked a stupid question. I have the best FB in football. Why am I not featuring him? So I put him in my #2 spot for TEs in every offense formation that required 2 or more Tes. And dude responded! He caught 5 scores and 372 yards. Which is a large % of the output of Arledge this year. Good job in the All Pro game! Defensive MVP – Baxter – Robbed of an All Pro. Led league in picks, and had a very healthy 13 pasdef, plus a pick for a score. Can’t deny his awesome! Special teams MVP – P Benson rose his average in the league to 3rd best average among qualifiers Rookie of the Year – WR Rodney Riley – Caught a Super Bowl TD! That’s always fun. Was a solid, but improvable, part of the offense. Heart Award – CB Lincoln Howard – He played as nickel in a few settings, and was moved to start for a handful of games. No picks. Just 5 pasdef. So why choose him? Dude had 2 sacks. When a CB has more sacks than picks, that’s funny. (CB Schmidtke had a sack too) |
End of Season –
Performance – 86 Franchise value 86 Profit 84 Roster 25 Score 80 We have no retirements! Retirees of note: RB LA Murray, Doug Martin, Dom Jones, WR Julio Jones, Emmanuel Sanders, Tate, Antonio Brown, Norwood OL – A bunch 0 like 218 O Lin e leave, including Alex Boone and Spain DE Odrick, Clayborn, LB Von Miller, Arturo Pierce CB Jimmy Smith, Davon House, Cox, S Kim Chancellor, Gilchrist, Vacarro Just one inductee – Adrian Peterson |
Last year was the first time we had 100% attendance!
We made 108 mill cash We have the 10th best stadium, 21st best roster, the best fan support (GO Cleveland!), and 8th worst economy We are the 9th e most valuable franchise I give a raise to my OC to keep him around Coach Time!!! We pick 8th WHOA!!!! There is a 75 suitably for DC, with a true 34-4 defense. I hire… Logan Giannino, linebackers, I also hire a new AC – Jack Keith I have a bunch of players that are FAs: FS Baxter CB Clofford K Crosby DT Dunn QB Jones C Rivers DE Stanton TE Walford SS Joseph Had I gotten Stanton to sign his deal, I would franchise Baxter, and then resign him after his great year. Before this he hadn’t done anything, and I figured that Id have Tatum and Kempthron start next year. But I was unable to sign Stanton So question – Do I tag Stanton or Baxter? I feel like Baxter is more replaceable, and chase able in FA. So I tag Stanton He’ll make 16.53 mill I’d like to consider bringing back Baster and Dunn. But we’ll see for sure FREE AGENCY!!! |
I have 42 players under contract.
Players in the last year of their deal: WILB Horton LB Kirksey CB Harrison DE Horner S Tatum FL Lynch SE Stone Some backup RBs QB Arledge I extend Horner by 4 years. I extend Arledge to a 5 year 60 million deal. Graham’s gotta get paid I extend Horton by 2 more years DE Stanton still doesn’t want his cash Wait for better options before making decisions on CB Harrison, WR Lynch, or Stone, and Tatum I have 31 mill in cash space I advance a week. Anyone in FA I like? I need four starters, and I have the cash for the splash K S? DT TE And then: Backups: QB, RB, TE, C, DT?, CB,S In FA we have 3 good players at 73, 72, and 65 that can kick I am a bad GM. I could have signed Baxter to a much cheaper deal last year. Ah well. Baxter wants – 38 mill, and 5 years He is the 3rd best S on the class, and just behind the 58 and 56 others at 55. Ironically, Hoppe, the SS the league thoughts was better, is out there. He wants less money. 28 over 4 years. But Baxter has an exceptional affinity with Schmidtke, my leader. So he’s worth keeping around, What about DT? I make an offer for 6 mill, 2 yeas for Dunn I make an offer to TE Eugene Nail, would be a leader with three players liking him. 10 mill, 4 years, 2nd best TE in FA I make an offer to K Brandon McManus. Any other major talent I want to chase? CB Jonathan Fox is 65/65, 5th year, wants 54 mill over 5 years, he is the 18th best CB in the league. I could sing him and let Harrison go. Although is 61 to 65 that much of an upgrade? As of today, Stanton is now the 3rd best player in the league after an OG and Ss passed him There’s really no other major FAs I want to bring in. I submit an offer to Cardale Jones for two years min sal My O Line is getting old – 10th year for Bitonio, 9th for Smith and Scherff, and 8th for Graham and Coleman. Alright…. |
Week 2 - We sign Dunn back to our squad
Week 5 – We sign TE Nail With Nail I have – Affinities with TE Ruddy, and Jones and others. Week 7 – We sign Cardale Jones Week 8 = Baxter reups Week 11 – We get K McManus |
The 2023 NFL Draft!!!
We pick 32nd. As a reminder we don’t have a 2nd round from the trade for Lorey. We have 2 fourths instead, and 7 picks total At 1.1 the Bills take RB Alex Beeman As he nears, I see a stud LB. I swap with the Giants, who need a stud LB the most and take him. I am not missing out on my LB again. I lose my 7th rounder this year I take: Karl Rincon, the best player in the board by 1.5 grade. When you look at him you er going to love him 8 volatility, 3-4 ILB< potential affinity, Rincon is a force of football nature There were some other non-Rincon players there that if Rincon were taken, I would have considered. CB Gregory Canada? SLB Walters? DT Eric Webb? DE Jason Miller looks amazing! High RUN D, Pass rush, and strength, with lower play D and punishing hitter and very low endurance But Rincon is worth the stretch Seeing their need at LB, the Giants take Walters. So I was right thy were going Outside LB here. Miller heads off the board to Tennessee at pick 39, Webb at 43. Pick 60 arrives still Canada is on the board, as is the solid, I hope, CB Peter Davison. Then two corners and a safety head off in a row, leaving just Davidson and Canada at the top. 3rd round arrives. Will one of these two make ti to 3.32? Atlanta comes up at 3.11. I make my move. I trade RB Strickland and move yup from 3.32 ot 11. (Which is a lot of points on the trade chart). I draft Canada At 3.13 Davidson heads off the board. Two more corners get drafted before 3-32, so neither were likely making it At 4.4 I look around. Where is the talent? C Otis Schnebele 4.32? DT Graham Blades. Best DT on the board 5.32 – RB Moe Estell 6.32 – WLB Eduardo Gibbons Amateur Draft Report: Rnd 1 - Karl Rincon, OLB, Syracuse Rnd 3 - Gregory Canada, CB, Florida Rnd 4 - Otis Schnebele, C, Texas Southern Rnd 4 - Graham Blades, DT, Louisville Rnd 5 - Moe Estell, RB, Oklahoma Rnd 6 - Eduardo Gibbons, OLB, Mississippi State |
Early Results?
Rincon – 45/80 Canada – 27/70 Estell – 39/65 C Schebele 25/65 Gibbons 33/65 DT Blades 41/62 A- grade Now Estell and Canada feel a little bust-y t me. They weren’t amazing with the combine stats, just with good bars and support for them. So if they bust, I won’t be surprised. But given that I got Estell in the 5th round, even if he winds up in the 50/50 era I’ll be set. Meanwhile, I keep finding good LB talent. And even if some of these bust I’m still happy – every player leaving the draft has a potential of 62 or more Now Schnebele has great combines, so I suspect e’s the one least likely to bust. 4 volatility. Anyone I want from Free Agency Era #2? UFAs: I make an offer to C Dunkin, insurance for my own draftee, RB Colin Snyder, SS Brandan Fackleman, DE Norm Pucillo, LB Vernon Dolfinger, CB Zack Hill, TE Johnny Henselman Week 1 – I sign one UFA, nope two, sorry, read that wrongly Week 2 – 2 more join the powerful Browns Week 3 – The rest join us. I have 61 players contract. Anyone else I want to chase? I make an offer to UFA Taylor Dembowski There is a good RT out there, 4th year, was not made an offer, and no one else made a play. I offer to R Bryce Owens. There’s also a 56/56 RCB there too. Two years for 3 mill? That’s cheap. Amari Bone. Bringing in Boone is good insurance that Canada busts. I make that offer Week 4 – We sign all three targets. Camp time!!! |
Post Camp –
The Chargers offer me a 5th rounder for Cardale Jones. Sure. My 3rd string QB for a pick? I;m in In an ironic wheel of fate I sign RG3 for a minsal contract. He gest along with TE Nail leader I cut RT Willie Benson, CB ZackHill Due to my absolute logjam of talent I have with the word “LineBacker” in it, I cut Scott Staat, a 4th year vet 43/43 and a solid backup. Another backup, DT Enrique newman heads out DE Norm Pucillo boomed in camp to 36/63 – YAY! Remember Horner was a booming UFA as well who grabbed 15 sacksa sa rookie and never looked back. H has 110.5 sacks, btw Every few weeks I try to resign Stanton to no dice each time Well clearing my cap was good, cause I have a major player next year to sign. RB Lorey We go 4-0 in preseason I cut – RB Jace Stevinson WR Dembowski S Fackleman DE Clayton I’m confused by C. Both look similar – Dunkin is 42/63 and Schnebele 30/61. Who is my backup? I deactivate Schnebele and cut OG Wyatt Sawyer. I’ll carry three OCs. Banda busted to 58/58, Kirksey to 63. I cut Banda. I cut CB Fiebelborn as well My stud is out for a week with a concussion, I start the rookie Estell to see what he can bring to the table WR Stone and OG Scherff are questionable for a while Dt Dunn lost a step, and I move Blades to stare Horner is down to 50/50. I will continue to start him until he proves he can’t start for me anymore. He’s earned my trust. |
Not sure if you saw this in the FOFC FOF8 thoughts thread.
Here are my four LBs:  Kirksey and Banda dropped, and yet I still have these four young powerhouses on my team. I;m trying to suss out who should go where, given as I'm so unaccustomed to a 3-4. Recommend b teh game puts them at - Rincon SLB Nelson SILB Horton WILB Kraucheck WLB Enjoy! |
Well, I;m waiting for figuring out which dance partners are going to sit in which chairs, let;s go ahead and look at my roster:
Code:
I make offers to – CB Harrison – 4 years, 27 mill FS Miles Tatum, 4 years, 26 mill I decide not to make an offer to FL Lynch. H;e s30 and just my 3rd wideout. Totally replaceable I want to extend Stone, but he wants a ton of cash. 15 mill for 4 years. Dude is in his 40s permanently. Nope Alright I just talked myself into extending Lynch. 3 years 15 mill |
Since we're pausing for now until I;m sure about my 3-4 backers, here are my other major draftees
You can see the major ones, and the undrafted DE that boomed in camp as well.  |
I posted this analysis post on another thread, but I like it, and it works for those that haven;t checked out the FOF Thread as well, so I am copyign and pasting it here:
So I inherited one great young LB on team, Kirksey, with a high 70s rating. I had 50s and 60s potential backers elsewhere. And I built my franchise very quickly around my front 7. FOr a while, all of my front 7 were set. In particular, I had a stud D Line. A UFA got 15 sacks his first year as a rookie, and I played the crap out of him. He's now in his 8th year with me, and dropped this off season to 50/50, he has 110.5 sacks in 7 years, and had three ALL Pro and 1 Defensive Player fo tehj Year award, with 25 sacks in a season and 7 in a game, setting records for both of those. The following year I drafted DE Julio Stanton, who missed 11 games his first year, and DPotY twice, entering his 7th year, has 86.5 sacks, and 4 All Pros. Stanton was the best non-K in the league overall. And he played like it. Meanwhile I signed, in FA, DT McGee who the game rated as a 71/71 guy, and was great. He was injured for a year and a half, but he still came back and played strongly. The next year I signed Bennie Logan, DT from FA and paid him serious money. He was the 3rd best DT and was ALl Pro for me the year before I signed him, and two years for me. In fact twice in the three years they all played for me, Logan and my two DEs got ALl Pro. I had to let McGee go. No one else could do as well as he could, I had an 86/86 guy at one end, mid 60s at the other, and two 70s in the middle. Then after a year of trying to make the D Line work, I swapped over to 3-4, adn planning on using Santon. But in his 31st year in th league, he was dropping, and was no longer someone I relayed on for, so I let him go. Meanwhile at the backers, I drafted a solid guy named Banda, and resigned Ogbah, already on the Cleveland roster. I ran Ogbah at WLB because he could rush, Banda at SLB and Kirksey at center. Kirksey was all pro twice, once in 2016 when he was pretty much the only player on the team, and the other in 2020 when he led all LBs in sacks, picks, passes defensed, and if he had kept up his momentum in the last 2 weeks, I think he would have pushed Stanton for DPotY. Ogbah did okay, but nothing amazing. Banda was fine. But he had an All Pro season in 2021. So I drafted LB Vince Horton a back in 2020 in the back of the 5th round. He was a BAP pick, even though he preferred a 3-4. And I let him start at WLB and moved Ogbah, who was older and expensive and never that great, to start as a 2nd year player in the penultimate year of my 4-3 defense. Then in teh 2021 draft, Nelson fell to me at 2.32 and I grabbed him, as another 3-4 preference backer who was a BAP. In 2022 draft, I wasn;t looking for LBs that much when Krauchick fell to me in the back of the 4th. Alright, that;s fine. I had just moved to 3-4 so I grabbed him. Int eh first year of my 3-4, I started Banda, Kirksey, Stanton and Horton in these spots: Horton - WILB Nelson - WLB Banda - SLB Kirksey - SILB In those four roles... Code:
Player Pos Team GP GS Tckl Asst Sack Blkd Hurr QBKd So nothing amazing in there. Banda dropped again in training, and was in the high 50s. And these four all prefer 3-4s, and he didn;t. So i cut him. And Kirksey is still on my roster, but dropped to 63/63 Anyways, Krau and Rincon have never started in this role. So I just want to make sure I have the right guys in the right seats, before I begin my season. There's no reason this lB corps shouldn;t dominate. I need to make that happen. I even went after a DC in the off-season with a great play calling. |
I took a quick pic of my new DC so you can see him, and Stanton, as well as all LBs in teh league listed by future potential, and you can see where my quad lines up
 |
Let‘s just go ahead, and use the Rexxed suggestions for these four fine folks. My hope, is they dominate as much as Stanton, Logan, Horner and MCGee did when they were in

Season Awards:
Defensive Rookie of the Year – OLB Karl Rincon All Pro 1st Team – RB Diego Lorey, FB Ralph Schuster, OT Shon Coleman, DE Julio Stanton, All Pro 2nd Team – LB Karl Rincon, S Miles Tatum League’s Strongest Man – OG Joel Bitonio |
Stats!!!
Code:
Arledge, Arledge, Arledge..... Rushing! Code:
Lorey led the league in rushing yards by a bunch - the next best was 1338. Lorey had fewer carries and better results. 11 rush scores is no joke either. CATCHING!!! Code:
Arledge, Arledge, Arledge.... :) BLOCKING!!! Code:
Because of how sack prone Arledge is, sometimes folks don;t get the All Pros they deserve. Scherff is 2nd in Gs for KRB and no All Pro. This was a very respectable year for us. Huh. Looks like I forgot to move Graham back after his injury. And yet, rookie undrafted C Dunkin got no sacks allowed in 14 starts. Huh. K McManus, 27 of 28 FG, 48/48 PAT P Emerson 93 punts, 48.5 average, 40.5 net Emerson had 3rd best net in league, and the best average in the league. Huh. Why no All Pro? DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!! Code:
Stanton was one half sack off the league leader and 2nd in sacks. Horner? 5.5 sacks is his worst ever. Blades, teh rookie, had a solid productive season But look at rookie Rincon! He led all linebackers in the league with 11.5 sacks. Meanwhile Krauchick;s 8 sacks is great, and he led all lbs in the NFL for blocked passes. Nelson led my team in tackles, had a pair of sacks, and was very respectable. So when the defense needs just three backers, Stanton, Rincon and Krauchick are the three I use, so Horton is out there for fewer plays. COVERAGE! Code:
In the league, 2 corners have 8 picks, 3 players have 7 - 2 S and a CB. So Tatum tied for the lead for Ss for picks at 7. Not as many pasdef from any of my backers or Dbacks. Weak year for defending the pass |
Team Awards –
Offensive MVP _ RB Diego Lorey – He led the league in rushing yards in just 15 games, and blew through defenses many times. Meanwhile he was 3rd among RBs in receiving yards, 2nd in receiving Tds, 1st in3rd in rushing TDs, and well, you get the idea. Good job Lorey! Defensive MVP - FS miles Tatum – Was the major good news from the secondary. He was a bright light of awesome! Thanks Miles Tatum! Special Teams MVP – K McManus . Both my P and K deserve this award. I have a kicker that only missed one FG and no PAT. I have a P who led the league in average, and 3rd in net average. Both did well. But I’m going with McManus. Rookie of the Year: LB Karl Rincon. Duh Heart Award – RB Moe Estell – Had to start his first NFL game due a concussion to Lorey and did very well in that role. Thanks Moe! |
End of Season 0

Arledge in year 9 is about to begin STAFF!! I give a raise and retain my Str Coord. We pick 21st. I make no changes to my staff Here are my FAs: RG3 LB Kirksey WR Stone DE Stanton I tag Stanton I also have 7 RFAS Begin Free Agency! |
I have 43 players under contract:
Stanton is still not signing Major Players in the Final Year of their deal: RB Diego Lorey LB Sawyer Nelson RG Norman Maurer P Emerson CB Schmidtke FB Schuster LRT Coleman OG Scherff OG Bitonio RT Owens T Newmeyer CB Amari Boone LT Donovan Smith RB Angus NT Dunn NT Morton CV Lincoln Howard LS Newsome I have 30 mill under the cap, and 21 mill available I sign RB Lorey for 3 years, 48 mill. I extend Newsome I sign RFA – WLB Dolfinger, who is a 32-61 UFA I signed last year; DE Normal Pucillo, 47/64; TE Ruddy for two years It will cost me real money to resign C Zane Dunkin, RB Colin Snyder. Snyder is 41/57 and Dunkin 52/62 I will wait n LB and O Line decisions until post draft and post-camp, when I see which of my old men fell, and what I was able to get in the draft. I extend CB Schmidtke by 2 years and drop his cap hit this year by 5 mill. He’s my best Cb and my leader. I extend P Emerson by 2 years. I Sign Schuster for 3 more years LB Nelson wants, serious, serious money. Like 3 years 35 mill. I end week 1 |
We have a couple of great players out there – 76 CB Russell Mueller, 7th year vet,
What do I need: Backup QB Backup RB, maye, Backup TE – or a stud to go over Nail WR OG? Stud DT, or none Great S or CB would be fine But I don’t need a lot I offer RG3 to reup for two years, vet min sal There’s no one out there I want. So I make offers to my RFAs – C Zane Dunkin and RB Snyder Let’s look at the daft I pick 1.24. We have 2 5th round selections, 8 total. There is a guy, DT Damien Alcott, at the top fo the board, identifies as natural 3-4 NT, total stud. He is who I want the most. Hard to Read, 91 volatility, 4 red stats, one blue. He is the strongest, smartest and fastest DT in the draft. That’s pretty sexy I interview a couple more 3-4 NT near te top There’s a great underrated TE at the top o the board. TE Danny Meyer I also interview some LB, CB and S I think would be there at 1.24 Week 5 – Kirkseey signs with the Steelers. Week 7 – Griffin signs with us I have 49 players on my roster: |
