LONG BEACH MERMEN [GM RIZZ]

[GM Yount]

"THE BIGGEST THING IS I THINK ITS TIME AND HONESTLY THE BIG DOG MAY HAVE BEEN SLOW TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THIS BUT TO PUT THE KID FROM YOUR ALMA MATER KENDRICK MOORE IN THE STARTING LINEUP

THIS ISNT ME OVERREACTING TO THE FACT THAT IT FELT LIKE ALMOST EVERY HUGE SAUL BENNETT RUN LAST GAME AS TO J MACS SIDE AND I RECOGNIZE HES MADE SOME KEY PLAYS FOR US BUT IT FEELS LIKE MOORE HAS BEEN PRODUCING AT A HIGH LEVEL IN LIMITED SNAPS AND IT WOULD BEHOOVE US TO HAVE HIM OUT THERE AS A FULL TIME STARTER"

[Talon]

 

   

Im good with that.  Kendrick hustles, and he's flashed.  Lets do it.

[GM Yount]

"COOL

AS FAR AS A DEFENSIVE END TO FILL IN FOR THE NEXT SHORT BIT WHILE NEELEY HEALS UP THE BIG DOG WILL BE SEEING IF THERES A BIT MORE POLISHED OPTION OUT THERE BUT IF THAT DOESNT MATERIALIZE IS KELLY THE BEST BET TO FILL IN FOR HIM OR DO EITHER OF OUR UDFA DUDES HAVE THAT DAWG IN THEM WHERE THEY COULD MAYBE CAUSE SOME HAVOC EVEN IF THEY DONT GOT THE SKILLS RIGHT NOW"

[Talon]

 

   

Yeah, he's more athletic and more polished from a position skill stand point, its going to be a big drop off, but he's the best we have in reserve.

[GM Yount]

"ALRIGHT IF THATS WHAT WERE ROLLING WITH THEN HOPEFULLY DEX AND KENNY CAN GENERATE PLENTY OF PASS RUSH FROM THEIR SPOTS

STAYING ON THE SUBJECT OF OUR DEFENSE WITH US BEING AT THE HALFWAY POINT AND SINCE IT WAS SUCH A BATTLE IN CAMP HOW ARE OUR NON IZZY CORNERS GRADING OUT PERFORMANCE WISE

I KNOW WEVE GOTTEN GASHED WITH SOME PASS PLAYS BUT ITS HARD FOR THE BIG DOG TO PARSE HOW MUCH OF THAT IS COVERAGE AND HOW MUCH IS GUYS GETTING LEFT ON ISLANDS WITH THE AMOUNT OF BLITZING WE DO"

[Talon]

   

Petersen has seen his grade rise week over week until this past weekend, but even then he got a pick and played hard, so we've been happy with him.

Mayes has been up and down, but his Vancouver performance showed some promise.  His effort hasn't always been as great resulting in some extra yards for receivers after the catch at times.

Frost has played welll in his limited snaps, he actually had two of our best graded performances vs. Oakland and KC but he only played about 15 snaps in each of those games.

For what they're asked to do, Waters and Campbell are doing well too but they're not being asked to do much.

[GM Yount]

"AT THE RISK OF UPSETTING THE APPLE CART WITH EVEN MORE CHANGES THE BIG DOG WONDERS IF HAVING FROSTS MORE SURE TACKLING IN THE NICKEL WOULD MAYBE BE WORTH A CONSIDERATION ESPECIALLY WITH TUCSONS EXPLOSIVE PASSING OFFENSE COMING UP

THE BIG DOGS KIND OF FIFTY FIFTY ON THE IDEA ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I THINK MAYES GIVES US A HIGHER CEILING WHEN HES ON HIS GAME AND I DONT WANT TO DISRUPT HIS DEVELOPMENT IF THERES A CHANCE OF IT CLICKING INTO PLACE FOR HIM BUT IT JUST KEEPS GNAWING AT THE BACK OF MY MIND"

[Talon]

 

   

Bet.

[GM Yount]

"THINK IM GONNA DO IT

THE UNDERDEVELOPED FOOTBALL IQ WITH HOW BLITZ HEAVY OUR DEFENSE IS MAKES ME WONDER IF WE CAN SHORE UP OUR PASS DEFENSE A BIT WITH SOUNDER PLAY

SPEAKING OF UNDERDEVELOPED FOOTBALL IQ

I KNOW WEVE HAD COACH OWEN WORKING ONE ON ONE WITH ANTONIO BAYNE

HAS HE BEEN TAKING TO THE COACHING WELL OR COULD HE BE APPLYING HIMSELF BETTER

SORRY FOR THE TWENTY QUESTIONS BY THE WAY BUT THE BIG DOG FIGURED I MIGHT AS WELL BE THOROUGH WITH INFORMATION GATHERING WHILE IM WORKING THE LINES TO SEE IF I CAN FIND US THAT EDGE RUSHER"

[Talon]

 

   

Bayne's got talent, slow developer though. He's gotten more accurate lately though.

[GM Yount]

"BET

THE BIG DOGS GONNA MAKE A PHONE CALL WHILE IM WAITING TO SEE IF I CAN GET A DEAL DONE FOR THIS WEEK OR NOT

ILL LET YOU GET TO PLANNING YOU KNOW THE ADJUSTMENTS WERE PLANNING ON"



"ARIEL FRANCISCO BIEN PLEASE"



"HI FRANCISCO ITS THE BIG DOG

I WANTED TO TOUCH BASE WITH YOU TO GET AN IDEA ON IF CHARLES LUCE IS AMENABLE TO AN EXTENSION HERE IN LONG BEACH AND IF SO WHAT HES LOOKING FOR CONTRACT WISE"

[Talon]

 

   

There is interest to re-sign, but we are also happy to wait until the off-season to discuss terms, unless you had something in mind.

[GM Yount]

"THATS GOOD TO KNOW

THE BIG DOG HAS AN IDEA BUT LETS CIRCLE BACK IN THAT AFTER THE SEASON BEFORE THE NEW LEAGUE YEAR STARTS PERIOD

I THINK ILL HAVE A BETTER GRASP OF THE REST OF MY BUDGET AND HOW EXACTLY I WANT TO STRUCTURE THE OFFER THEN

GLAD TO KNOW THE INTEREST IS THERE THOUGH THANKS FOR YOUR TIME"



"ARIEL COACH MACKEY PLEASE"

HYAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH"

LOCK IN

[GM Yount]

"HI ITS THE BIG DOG

A VERY DISAPPOINTING LOSS FOR US IN A GAME TESTING OUR METTLE AGAINST ONE OF THE LEAGUES BEST

I THINK THE KEY WAS THEIR D LINE OUTMUSCLING US AND DOING SOME DAMAGE TO OUR RUN GAME AS WELL AS DISRUPTING THE PASS

THE BIG DOG WILL TAKE SOME BLAME FOR THE LOSS

WE DIDNT COME OUT STRONG AND THE BIG DOG DID MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS THIS WEEK BASED ON PERFORMANCE SO FAR THIS YEAR THAT I DO BELIEVE WERE THE RIGHT MOVES FOR THE TEAM BUT IN HINDSIGHT MAYBE TOO MUCH CHANGE AFTER OUR BLOCKBUSTER TRADE SINCE TUCSON ISNT A TEAM WHERE THERES ANY ROOM TO SLOWLY BUILD YOUR CHEMISTRY TOGETHER OR SETTLE INTO NEW ROLES

BOTTOM LINE IS THE BIG DOG FULLY BELIEVES WERE A BETTER TEAM THAN THAT AND EXPECTS THE LADS ARE GONNA GO BALLS TO THE FLOOR TO SHOW IT AND BIG DOG THE COMPETITION GOING FORWARD

BECAUSE THIS LEAGUE IS IN HEAT AND IS JUST REARING ITS HAUNCHES FOR THIS GROUP OF BIG DOGS IN MERMEN COUNTRY TO TAKE IT TO POUND TOWN

ON A COUPLE OF BRIGHT SPOTS THE BIG DOG WAS HAPPY TO SEE DIAMOND STARZ HAVE A STRONG PERFORMANCE AND ALSO TO BRING CASEY THORPE BACK INTO THE FOLD

HES A GUY THE BIG DOG HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO RELY ON TO PLAY SMART AND PRESSURE THE QUARTERBACK FROM MULTIPLE POSITIONS SO HE GREATLY IMPROVES OUR DEPTH ON THE D LINE IN MY VIEW

THE TEAM HAS DALLAS UP NEXT AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT THOSE GUYS ARE IN THE BEGINNING OF A REBUILD SO THE GOAL HAS TO BE TO MOLLYWHOP THEM

THAT DOESNT MEAN WERE OVERLOOKING THEM OR LOOKING PAST THEM THEYVE GOT SOME VERY PROMISING YOUNG TALENT AND A COUPLE OF STRONG VETS BUT THE FACT IS WE HAVE A LOT WE HAVE TO FIX AND ITS TIME FOR US TO GET BACK TO EXECUTING AT A HIGH LEVEL AND USE THEM AS THE FIRST ONES TO GET EXECUTED

IM THE BIG DOG"

[Talon]

 

   

Well, that didn't work.

[GM Yount]

"YEAH

IM THE BIG DOG

SHIT"

[Talon]

 

   

...alright.   Anything we need to go over?

[GM Yount]

"OBVIOUSLY OUR O LINE STRUGGLED WITH THE FIVE SACKS ALLOWED AND ENCAR NOT GETTING THE RUN GAME GOING

WHERE DID WE STRUGGLE THE MOST WITH OUR LINE

I KNOW THE RIGHT SIDE OF OUR LINE IS THE WEAK PART ON PAPER AND SAPP IS PROBABLY OUR LOWEST QUOTE RATED UNQUOTE INTERIOR O LINEMAN BUT JUST LOOKING AT THE BOX SCORE STATS HE LOOKS LIKE HE DID FINE

ACTUALLY I WOULDNT MIND PULLING UP O LINEMAN GRADES FROM BOTH THIS GAME AND THE VEGAS ONE SINCE I FEEL LIKE THOSE WERE THE TWO ONES WHERE WE JUST GOT OVERWHELMED SO BAD IT BROKE OUR WHOLE OFFENSE"

[Talon]

   

I asked the analytic nerds to get those stats for you, here's what they got.

vs. Tucson
Rouse - 0.35
Holland - 0.53
Luce - 0.45
Sapp - 1.5
Judkins - 0.79
Neill - 0.67

vs. Las Vegas
Luce - 0.46
Rouse - 0.14
Judkins - 0
Neill - 0.59

[GM Yount]

*THE BIG DOG scratches her chin and pretend to know what that means*

"INTERESTING

ILL TRY TO UPGRADE THE MIDDLE OF OUR LINE IF I CAN

ROUSE LOOKING A BIT OVERMATCHED IN SOME OF THESE BIG GAMES BUT I THINK HES GOT TOO MUCH ABILITY TO GIVE UP ON AND MAYBE IF I CAN SHORE UP THE INTERIOR ITS GONNA HELP HIM A BIT

WITH REGARDS TO THE ASS WHOOPING WE TOOK THAT FIRST HALF DO YOU THINK THE TEAM SEEMED DISJOINTED FROM THE CHANGES I MADE MORALE SLASH CHEMISTRY WISE OR WAS TUCSON JUST BETTER THAN US

WITH REGARDS TO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT WHAT THAT GAME MEANT IM TRYING TO PARSE I GUESS CAN BE DISCOUNTED AS DOWN TO ME SHAKING THINGS UP AND HOW MUCH IS WEVE GOT SERIOUS AREAS TO SHORE UP

I WANT TO BELIEVE IN OUR GUYS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BUT ALSO DONT WANT TO DELUDE MYSELF"

[Talon]

 

   

I don't know why, if I did I'da done fixed it.

[GM Yount]

"SORRY COACH

DIDNT MEAN TO HIT YOU WITH THE OBVIOUS ASS QUESTIONS

JUST FELT YOUD HAVE A BETTER GRASP ON THE LOCKER ROOM THAN ME AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WASNT LOSING THE TEAM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT

THE BIG DOG IS PARANOID IVE BEEN BETRAYED BY A LOT OF FARM ANIMALS

ANYHOW IM GONNA GATHER SOME OTHER INTEL IN BUILDING AND GREET SOME NEW GUYS"



"ARIEL COACH MARSHALL ROY PLEASE"



"HI COACH ROY ITS THE BIG DOG

FIRST OFF APOLOGIES I KNOW YOU HAD TO SHAKE THINGS UP MAJORLY ON YOUR SIDE WITH SOME OF THE MOVES IVE MADE

SECOND OFF NOW THAT THE GROUP HAS BEEN SHAKEN UP I WANTED YOUR INPUT ON STUFF NOW THAT WEVE HAD A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SETTLE IN

I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU THINK TRINI BOLES AND OCASIO MEASURE UP

I KNOW THAT HEADING INTO THE DRAFT OCASIO NEEDED TO WORK ON HIS POSITION SKILL AND TACKLING THAT HE PROJECTED TO BECOME A BIG STRONG SPACE EATER BUT I DONT KNOW HOW YOU VIEW HIM COMPARED TO THE GUY WE HAD IN HOUSE"

[Talon]

 

   

Well, theys an ol' sayin in Cajun country..   It ain't the quality of the ingredients, its the flavor of the gumbo.


...so far they taste pretty bland to me. 

[GM Yount]

*BIG DOG scribbles down a note 'GUMBO GUMBO GUMBO'*

"ROGER THAT

WE BROUGHT IN THE NEW GUY EDWARD SPARKS AT STRONG SAFETY HE HAD A STRONG FIRST GAME AND A QUIET STATISTICAL SECOND ONE

I KNOW HES A REALLY FAST GUY WHO MADE A LOT OF STRIDES AS A TACKLER IN TRAINING CAMP THIS YEAR BUT WAS HOPING FOR YOUR ASSESSMENT A COUPLE GAMES IN ON WHERE HE CAN IMPROVE TO TAKE A STEP TO THE NEXT LEVEL SINCE IM HOPING HES A LONG TERM INVESTMENT AT THE POSITION"

[Talon]

 

   

Now this one got in my craw, mhmmmmm. 

Trading away Calabrese was like tryin to pick up my daughter for a date with a box of condoms in your hand when you knock on the door.

I don't like it..   Sparks ain't "HIM" as the kids say.  He's only average at everything, so he can work on everything.

[GM Yount]

"DULY NOTED COACH

WITH THE GIVEN THAT YOU WERE UNHAPPY ABOUT ME MOVING CALABRESE ASIDE

OUT OF THE GUYS WEVE GOT NOW I WAS GIVING CHOI THE PLAYER RADIO BECAUSE HE HAD THE HIGH IQ

DO YOU THINK A GUY LIKE DIAMOND WITH STRONGER LEADERSHIP WOULD BE BETTER OFF IN THAT ROLE I KNOW ALBERT SMITHS A REALLY GOOD LEADER TOO BUT HES NOT PLAYING IN NICKEL SITUATIONS"

[Talon]

   

No. Leave it with Choi. Stop tinkering with my defense. Stay out of my gumbo.

[GM Yount]

"IM NOT TRYING TO TINKER FOR TINKERING SAKES BROTHER

ILL LEAVE YOUR GUMBO ALONE BUT PLEASE RESPECT MY QUESTIONS IM NOT ASKING THEM BECAUSE IM LOOKING TO MAKE MORE CHANGES IM ASKING THEM BECAUSE I CARE AND WANT ALL THE INFORMATION I CAN HAVE SO IM BETTER INFORMED IN MY DECISIONS GOING FORWARD

I APPRECIATE THAT YOURE NOT HAPPY WITH ME MAKING CHANGES ILL NOTE THAT GOING FORWARD

THANK YOU COACH HAVE A GOOD DAY"



"ARIEL JAYSON LITTLE PLEASE"



"HI JAYSON ITS THE BIG DOG WELCOME TO LONG BEACH

SORRY FOR THE DELAYED INTRODUCTION AND HOW WEVE PLAYED SINCE YOUVE GOTTEN HERE ITS NOT THE STANDARD I SET FOR MYSELF OR OUR ORGANIZATION

I AM STILL VERY EXCITED TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD THOUGH THE BIG DOG HAS BEEN A BIG FAN OF YOUR GAME FOR A LONG TIME AND IS CONFIDENT THAT ONCE EVERYONES GOTTEN THEIR FEET UNDER THEM TO SETTLE IN THAT YOULL HELP PROPEL US TO BETTER THINGS"

[Talon]

 

   

  Thanks for the welcome.  I plan on putting up my numbers and getting things done, don't worry about that.

[GM Yount]

"NO PROBLEM MAN AND THE BIG DOG HAS FAITH IN YOU

NOT TO SOUND CREEPY STALKERISH BUT IVE BEEN TRACKING YOU FOR A LONG TIME I STILL HAVE MY EXPANSION DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT ON YOU AND YOUR XFL STATS WITH ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN CATCHES THAT LAST YEAR IN MY PLAYER FILES SO I KNOW WHAT YOURE ALL ABOUT MAN

I WASNT EXPECTING INSTANT FIREWORKS ON THE ROAD WITH A NEW QUARTERBACK TO GET CHEMISTRY WITH AGAINST A TEAM THAT WAS GONNA PUT PASS RUSH PRESSURE ON HIMM

BUT I THINK YOU BEING IN PLACE SHOULD UNLOCK A LOT FOR OUR OFFENSE PUTTING ROSS AND CALEB AND RUIZ IN POSITIONS WHERE THEY CAN BE MATCHUP NIGHTMARES TO GO WITH OUR RUN GAME

ARE YOU FROM OUT WEST MAN I KNOW YOU PLAYED COLLEGE BALL AT COLORADO WHICH WAS PRETTY CLOSE" 

[Talon]

 

   

I'm a St. Louis kid.

[GM Yount]

"AH NICE

THE HOME OF CLASSIC MUSICIAN FROM BACK IN THE DAY NELLY

WELL WERE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HEAR LETS WIN SOME GAMES"



"ARIEL ITS THE BIG DOG

CAN YOU GET ME TRINIDAD BOLES PLEASE"



"HI TRINIDADDY ITS THE BIG DOG

ITS BEEN A WHILE

I KNOW YOUR ROLE HAS BEEN A BIT IN FLUX THIS YEAR BUT HOW ARE YOU FEELING WITH THE CHANCE TO START AGAIN

ARE YOU READY TO MAKE QUARTERBACKS TASTE A GLORIOUS FACE FULL OF THE TRINIDADDYS SACK"

[Talon]

 

   

The Big Bad Trini-Daddy is always ready.

[GM Yount]

"GOOD GOOD

UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME YOUVE BECOME INFAMOUS ENOUGH THESE GMS ARE BEATING MY DOOR DOWN SAYING THEY WANT A PIECE OF YOU THEY WANT YOU TO ANCHOR THEIR LINE BUT ILL SEE IF I CAN FEND THEM OFF

ILL LET YOU GET BACK TO IT BROTHER"



"ARIEL EDWARD SPARKS PLEASE"



"HI EDWARD ITS THE BIG DOG WELCOME TO LONG BEACH

EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE A STARTER AND I DONT KNOW IF YOURE THE TYPE OF GUY WHOS INTO THAT STUFF BUT THE BIG DOG ALSO THINKS ITS PRETTY COOL THAT RIGHT NOW WEVE GOT AN ALL TEXAS TECH STARTING SAFETY ROOM AND THINK ITLL BECOME A REALLY NOTABLE THING FOR YOU AND PINA TO CLICK TOGETHER CONSIDERING THAT"

[Talon]

SPARKS THANKS YOU FOR THE OPPORTUINTY AND INDICATES HE'S TIRED OF MOVING CITY TO CITY AND HOPES TO STICK IN LONG BEACH

[GM Yount]

"LETS WIN SOME GAMES BROTHER"



"ARIEL ILL HOPEFULLY HAVE THE LOCK IN INFO FOR COACH SHORTLY"

[Talon]

 

   

I just wanted to say... you sending me to that hell hole in Kansas City is a awful way to treat someone you said you cared about.

I hope my teammates do well, but if they fail, I hope you have to eat it. ..and your shoes are hideous.

[GM Yount]

"THE BIG DOGS SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY

I TOLD YOU THERE WAS INTEREST IN YOU SO YOUD BE PREPARED BUT ILL RESPECT THAT IT UPSET YOU AND I COULD HAVE HANDLED THINGS MORE TACTFULLY

THE BIG DOG DOES LOVE TO EAT THOUGH SO THANK YOU FOR THAT

GOOD LUCK"



*BIG DOG self consciously stares at her dinosaur slippers once he's gone, wondering why he'd say that*

[GM Yount]

"ARIEL COACH MACKEY PLEASE"



"COACH ITS THE BIG DOG

OBVIOUSLY I MADE A MOVE IVE GOT THE DEPTH CHARTS ALREADY RESET AFTER THEM I JUST HAD A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS I WANTED TO RUN BY YOU

YOU MENTIONED THAT BAYNE HAS BEEN A SLOW LEARNER AND I WANT TO MAXIMIZE THE ONE ON ONE COACHING OUR GUYS GET WITH THE INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING FOCUSES SO I MIGHT SWITCH UP THE ASSIGNMENTS ON THIS SIDE OF THE BALL

I WONT ASK YOU TO RECOMMEND PLAYERS OBVIOUSLY BUT ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC POSITIONS YOU THINK COACH OWEN WORKS ESPECIALLY WELL WITH BESIDES THE OBVIOUS WITH QUARTERBACKS

I DONT KNOW HIS COACHING HISTORY AS WELL AS I DO YOURS"

[Talon]

   

He's really a QB specialist.  I wouldn't expect him to do much else when it comes to a one on one mentorship.

[GM Yount]

"OKAY GOOD TO KNOW ILL LEAVE HIM WHERE HE IS

AS FAR AS YOUR INDIVIDUAL TRAINING I THINK IT WOULD MAYBE MAKE SENSE TO SWITCH IT UP AND HAVE YOU WORK ONE ON ONE WITH ENCAR FOR THE BACK HALF OF THE SEASON

I HAD YOU WORKING WITH PHILLIPS EARLIER BECAUSE WE WERE SO RELIANT ON OUR TOP COUPLE RECEIVERS WITH OUR OLD STRUCTURE BUT I THINK WITH US BEING THREE DEEP AT WIDEOUT NOW YOU CAN DO SOME OF YOUR RUNNING BACK MAGIC

I THINK FOR AS GOOD AS HE IS THERES STILL ANOTHER LEVEL YOU CAN HELP HIM LEARN TO REACH

STARZ COULD ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY IF YOU THINK SHES GOT MORE TO LEARN THAN HIM BUT I WAS FIGURING HAVE YOU WORK WITH OUR BELLCOW"

[Talon]

 

   

Bet.  I'd love to work with Starz more, she's got something to her game that I think is special.

[GM Yount]

"AWESOME

SHES CLEARLY SHOWED THE ELITE FLASHES WE JUST NEED TO HARNESS IT

SPEAKING OF OUR RUN GAME

IM PLANNING ON GETTING DANNER ON THE FIELD FOR MORE RUN SPECIFIC SCENARIOS WITH SOME UPDATES ILL BE SENDING AT LOCK IN TO TAP INTO THAT BLOCKING ABILITY OF HIS

HOWS HIS POSITION SKILL LOOKING NOW AFTER HIS MOST RECENT TRAINING I PUT IN FOR HIM

I KNOW OUR SELF SCOUTING HAD PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED HE WAS GETTING HELD BACK BY THAT ASPECT BEING UNDEVELOPED"

[Talon]

 

   

He made some gains, but still has a long ass ways to go.

[GM Yount]

"ALRIGHT GOOD TO KNOW ILL BOOKMARK HIM FOR MORE FUTURE TRAINING

I GUESS SAME QUESTION ON HOW FAR OFF OCASIOS POSITION SKILL IS NOW AFTER HIS TRAINING

HES PRETTY SMART AND A BIG STRONG LAD SO IM HOPING HE CAN BECOME A QUALITY SPACE EATER TO FREE UP ROOM FOR THOSE BLITZES COACH ROY LIKES TO RUN"

[Talon]

 

   

Big O's maxed out on position skill. Needs to work on his tackling now.

[GM Yount]

"NICE

OBVIOUSLY ITLL BE GREAT FOR HIM TO CLEAN UP HIS TACKLING AND BECOME MORE OF A RUN STUFFER BUT IF HE UNDERSTANDS HIS ROLE WELL ENOUGH TO FREE UP DEX AT THE OTHER DT SPOT AND OUR LINEBACKERS THATLL BE DOPE

ANYWAYS ILL HAVE THE LOCK IN SOON BUT IM GONNA WELCOME MYLES JACK FIRST

LETS GET BACK ON TRACK THIS WEEK

NOT THAT IM IN THE BUSINESS OF COMPARING US TO OTHER TEAMS BUT KNOWING WHAT OAKLAND DID TO THIS DALLAS TEAM THE BIG DOG WANTS TO OUTDO THAT"



"ARIEL MYLES JACK PLEASE"



"HI MYLES ITS THE BIG DOG

FIRST OFF WELCOME BACK TO CALI I KNOW YOU PLAYED YOUR COLLEGE BALL IN THE AREA

BUT NOT TO PRETEND TO BE A MIND READER BUT IM GUESSING YOU ASKED FOR A TRADE FOR THE SAME REASON WE RUFFLED A COUPLE FEATHERS AND MADE THE DEAL FOR YOU

THAT YOU WANT TO GET BACK TO WINNING LIKE YOU DID HELPING BRING AN IMPACT BOWL TO SAN ANTONIO

YOU ATE US UP WHEN WE PLAYED KC EARLIER THIS YEAR AND MADE IT DOUBLY CLEAR TO ME YOU WERE STILL A WINNING PLAYER MAKING WINNING PLAYS STUCK IN A BAD SITUATION

SO WITHOUT OVERCOMPLICATING IT LETS WIN THIS DIVISION THEN WIN SOME DAMN PLAYOFF GAMES BROTHER"

[Talon]

 
 

   

  Yeah, I was hoping to go to a big time front runner, but its good to be back in SoCal.  I had a really weird ass GM, so hopefully you're more normal.
