We definitely need a punter. We should be set at other positions, but could use some backups at RB, OL, and DL.

I'll create a punter right now....unless someone already has.

Cheers!

Dola,

Punter Legs Faustino is available.

Cheers!

There is some guy on the GLB forum for our team asking about his job. He was on the team before you bought it and wants to know if he is going to lose his starting job

Well, I think we only have one Guard. I don't mind keeping him, but I wouldn't want to start him over another FOFC'er if another Guard got created.

What do you guys think?

Change him into a kicker then cut him.

My guess is that he wouldn't be loyal to us if he got a better contract, thus we should also look at him from a business sense. Tell him he needs to perform or he might be replaced, but as long as he's there start him over CPU, but not before FOF?

I'd say start the best guys. Nobody has enough stamina to play the whole game so everyone is going to play. I think he's only a level 1 guy who just signed up yesterday. I can't tell because of the way they do the OL stats, but he might not have started a game yet. He doesn't show any pancakes anyway.

Yeah, I just checked and he doesn't show up in the box score for the last game, so he hasn't had a starting job to lose yet.

Play to win, start the best. Kinda cold I know, but hey....that's just business.

If he can perform, great. If not, step aside.

Just my two cents.

Cheers!

Okay, I just offered renegoatiations to everyone that was signed at the lower rate. Everyone should have more than enough to do their training now. If you haven't accepted a contract yet and still want to play for the Silverbacks, post a message or or send me a PM in game so I can offer you another contract at the higher rate.

Tell him he can start if he becomes a member of FOFC. One of us! One of us!

Deacon Palmer is a DE if that helps.

edit a L2 DE

Biff Chuckington is ready to sign w/ your club but needs to know if he is tlo be the starting QB or not?

I bought a team in the AA East -- the Richmond Razorbacks. I'm not going to run that one as a FOFC only deal, but if any of you can't find a spot on Larry's team I'll give you a contract. Note that I'm limiting the team to 1st and 2nd level players. I think most of the players on there are probably kids and I want to let them play (it's the teacher in me). Also, I won't have a player on the team. I'm just sticking with Tank as my sole player. So if you've got a 1st or 2nd level player, especially an FB, WR, OL, DT, CB, P and you can't get on Larry's team, I can take you on.

I'm a L1 QB - Biff Chuckington and was offered a contract by Larry but it looks like he has a L4 QB so that eliminates me for now so if you need a QB I'm your man.

I'll look you up and give you an offer FBPro. There is a QB on the team, also 1st level. I won't look for any more. With only two human QBs, and 1st level at that, you will both see a lot of time, but neither of you can last a whole game.

Ok, sounds good.

Ok, signed w/ Richmond.

I've got Annie Man, lvl1 HB. Actually added to the CD thread in the dynasty section about this. Never thought to put it on the off-topic side of things...rather short sited of me.

At any rate, I'm signed by CPU team at present, but will gladly tote the pigskin for a FOFC team.

LB- Harry Balsac Level-2

This looks pretty cool & I'd be happy to be a Silverback or a Razorback. Though I'll probably buy my way to a higher level than I'm at currently.

You know, when I was choosing the name I didn't even realize it was so similar! It's the name of the team I run in my SP league of FOF2007. Sheesh! Can't change it now I guess..

I have two 1st level RBs Steve (and Mike I just saw your message), but Larry might have room for you. If he doesn't, and you don't mind staying 2nd level, I'll take you on. RB by committee looks like the way of things, at least at these lower levels.

The CPU team that I was on got purchased by someone, so I am stuck on his team unless the owner releases or trades me. For future reference, I also can't retire the player until his contract runs out, while he is on a human owned team.

So, T Maple Syrup got stuck....for 40 real life days (one season) on the new Seatown Saints team.

Maybe I can pry you loose with a trade.. I'll see.

OK, I made an offer. I am sending across a lvl 6 tackle for you. Told him we were friends and you were waiting for me to sign you when my team was up, etc.

I am hopeful Deacon Palmer will get picked up by one of the Fofc teams.

..And just like that I sent you an offer. :) But I will understand if you want to wait to see what Larry offers.

I just accepted the new deal. Also, I switched it so that you can see my attributes. I think in short bursts, he shouldn't be a bad pocket passer for a level 1 QB.

larry and fellow Silverbacks: Once the depth chart is set, please consider updating your "Playing Intensity". Seems to me, the starters should go normal, since they'll see more action and need to stay in the game longer, while they backups should hard, so that while they're (bbriefly) in, they can make a better impact.

Thoughts?

Also: 13 hours and 33 minutes until we dismantle the Hawaii Five-Os.

:drool:

Sweet sweet victory!


(I would be jinxing it if I weren't quoting SpongeBob..)

When you get a chance, check out the Schedule and Scores page. Click on a game score from a previously played game and then find the Play By Play link. Click on Replay on any of the plays and it will give you a Football Manager-style presentation of the play. From there you can go to the next play and even pause or rewind a play. It is pretty freaking cool.

The only thing I haven't been able to work out is if the upcoming game can be viewed like this in real-time or if it only works post-sim.

Just checked out the page source of one of these Replays and it has a script with stuff like:

I've been reading the boards and it isn't real time right now. They want it to be, but they would need more server space to make it happen.

OK. For those with higher-level players looking for a team, I have purchased a team in the same league as Larry's, but the other conference. The Lowcountry Gators are now mine. Here's my referral link...

http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=567857

Just created FS Ace Idol, any FOFC spots still?

I've thought about it, and decided to set my game day tactics to "hard", even though I'm named as a starter. Reason being, the guys behind me are the same level, and so there's not apparently any drop-off when I'm out of the game due to Donovan McNabb-like exhaustion. Hell, our 4th string MLB is a 5th level CPU player, so from the standpoint of game results, the quicker we get to him the better... might even make us better in the fourth quarter of a close game.

WR Caesar Galamificon signed with the Lowcountry Gators earlier today.

AE! Welcome back, man :)

I'm a lvl 1 WR looking to get on a FOFC team :)

Joey Dotson is his name, catching touchdowns is his game.

I sent you a contract offer, Chubby.

Man, my team has fllled up. I have a few guys who are high maintenence though. Just like in real football, I guess..

Room for a CB? Working on point allocation and then will be ready (Jon Snow)

i could use a 3rd CB for sure.

DE Arthur Fonzarelli is now available.

I have 3 DEs already so you should check if one of the other teams needs you before I send a contract. I'd definitely put you in the rotation. OR if you would rather start, you could retire your guy and make a DT.

The only other starter I need is FB. You can't get FBs for a pound of gold at GLB.

Just offered The Fonz.

Cool. Thanks gents. I'll go sign with SkyDog, as he seems to have more of a need at DE.

dola-

I'm now signed with Lowcountry and ready to become a clubhouse cancer!

double dola

Crap. I forgot to use a referral link. Sorry fellas.

Silverbacks need a logo - I'm tired of seeing that generic football helmet:







The second one would need that baseball bat removed, but other than that I think it's the coolest.

Man, those are all awesome!

Any chance you could come up with something for the Razorbacks? I ain't got a lick of artistic talent..

It is a toss up between #2 and #3 for me. I think I'm leaning towards the more fierce #3.

Cheers!
