RED-SHIRTS
PER REVIEW OF THE DEPTH CHART AND MUCH DELIBERATION BETWEEN THE COACHING STAFF, WE HAVE DECIDED TO ONLY RED-SHIRT ONE PLAYER ON THE 69 MAN ROSTER THIS YEAR - FRESHMAN KICKER PATRICK NATIONS OUT OF SENECA, SC. GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A STRONG JUNIOR UNANIMOUS 1ST TEAM ALL CONFERENCE KICKER IN JAKE VERITY, IT WAS A NO-BRAINER.
DEPTH CHART
NO MAJOR SURPRISES IN THE DEPTH CHART FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, HOWEVER FULL ANALYSIS PROVIDED IN THE VIDEO BELOW:
NEXT WEEK WE DIVE INTO THE RECRUITING BOARD FOR 2013!

CLOSING UP FALL CAMP AFTER THE LAST THREE WEEKS OF HARD FOUGHT BATTLES RESULTED IN A TEAM THAT IS READY TO START THE 2013 CAMPAIGN....
LEADING UP TO THE FIRST WEEK OF PRACTICE FOR THEIR FIRST OPPONENT, A LOCAL RADIO PERSONALITY POSTED ON TWITTER THAT THE EAST CAROLINA PIRATES WOULD GO WINLESS THIS YEAR, THIS CAUSED STARTING X RECEIVER BLAKE PROEHL TO RETALIATE AND BEGIN A TWITTER WAR. ALTHOUGH THE LOVE FOR THE TEAM WAS APPRECIATED, THE COACHING STAFF DECIDED TO SUSPEND PROEHL FROM THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE UPCOMING GAME IN ORDER TO STRESS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO "SHUT OUT THE NOISE"
THE NEW COACH, COACH FALK III, WANTS TO STRESS A NO TOLERANCE POLICY, WHICH RESULTED IN HOLDING OUT THE SECOND STRING LEFT GUARD DONOVAN NOEL THROUGH THE THIRD QUARTER OF THE UPCOMING GAME AS HE SHOWED UP 10 MINUTES LATE FOR A POSITIONAL MEETING DURING THE LAST WEEK OF FALL CAMP. EVERY ATHLETE ON THIS TEAM IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE NEXT GUY, AND EVERYONE WILL BE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD, IS WHAT HE TOLD DONOVAN.
OTHER THAN THESE TWO MINOR INFRACTIONS, THE EAST CAROLINA PIRATES ARE READY TO BEGIN HITTING SOMEONE ELSE NEXT WEEK! A ROSTER/DEPTH CHART PREVIEW AND 2013 SCHEDULE PREVIEW IS UP NEXT!
COMING BACK FROM SUMMER BREAK CAN ALWAYS BE A TROUBLING TASK FOR THESE YOUNG MEN, AND THAT WAS VERY TRUE FOR STARTING Z RECEIVER, LEROY HENLEY. A RANDOM DRUG TEST WAS ADMINISTERED AND LEROY HENLEY'S TEST CAME UP POSITIVE. THE TEAM HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SUSPEND HIM THE FIRST 6 GAMES.
ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE SEASON IS ALREADY STARTING OFF TO A SOUR NOTE BEFORE THE PADS ARE EVEN PUT ON.
HOPEFULLY WEEK TWO OF FALL CAMP DOES NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SURPRISES FOR THIS NEW COACH AND THE REBUILDING EAST CAROLINA PIRATES.

BACKGROUND:
I PLAN ON UTILIZING MULTIPLE TOOLS TO BRING LIFE TO THE DYNASTY AND CREATE ADDITIONAL STORYLINES AND CHALLENGES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. THESE ARE THE ITEMS I WILL BE IMPLEMENTING:
- TRACKING STATS, ROSTERS, SCHEDULES, ETC IN EXCEL TABLES
- HOUSE RULES INCLUDING RECRUITING RESTRICTIONS (REGIONAL AND INTEREST LEVEL) AND OUT OF CONFERENCE SCHEDULING 5 YEARS IN ADVANCE
- SUSPENSION TRACKER UTILIZING INTEGRITY WORKBOOK/ACADEMIC WORKBOOK - CREATED BY MASTERMIND JHAMILTON
- ADJUSTED SLIDERS (SKILL AND PENALTY) ON ALL-AMERICAN LEVEL THAT I HAVE TWEAKED OVER THE YEARS
- ADJUSTMENTS TO INJURY RATINGS TO CREATE MORE REALISTIC INJURIES IN DYNASTY MODE, ALSO INCLUDING CONCUSSION PROTOCOL AND STRAINS/SPRAINS LIMITATIONS
- SPRING GAME, SUMMER CAMP, AND FALL CAMP TO DETERMINE CLOSE POSITION BATTLES
- INCORPORATE MANUAL PROGRESSION SYSTEM FOR OFFSEASON USING COMBINATION OF HELLISAN'S SYSTEM (RANDOM BASED) AND STONECALF'S SYSTEM (DIAMONDS/DUDS/LOW ACHIEVERS/LATE BLOOMERS)
- EDITING INCOMING RECRUITS NAMES AND ALL PLAYERS GEAR TO GET MOST REALISTIC FEEL TO IN-GAME ACTION.
- USE EDITOR TO COMPLETE THE 4 GAME PLAYOFF AND ALSO DEVELOP A PLAYOFF COMMITTEE TO VOTE ON AND DETERMINE THE TEAMS THAT ARE CHOSEN FOR THE PLAYOFF
- GAMES WILL BE DOCUMENTED USING SHORT WRITEUP WITH STORYLINES ETC AND ALSO WITH ATTACHED YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ACTUAL GAME PLAYED WITH COMMENTARY
THIS IS MY FIRST GO AT DOCUMENTING A DYNASTY ON HERE AND IM SURE WILL BE SHAKY AT FIRST IN DOCUMENTING THE STORY BEHIND THE TEAM, BUT I HAVE ENOUGH PASSION FOR THE GAME, SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL COME ALONG.
I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THE RIDE!
