Warrior General Games

Tormoil brews in the Saipan Fighters locker rooms. Everyone on edge with the number of trades lately. Who's going? Who's staying? Several pre-season trades has caused an upraor and the team chemistry is falling apart. What are the Fighters to do? Team captains Russel Brown, Big Bob Sapp and Nikolay Valuev are trying to hold the team together. Twenty-one new guy have come to the team in the off-season and pre-season so no one knows each other very well and tempers are flaring. Fights over jersey numbers, starting positions, coaching and management are more than what the leaders of the team seem to be able to handle.

Two pre-season games have come and gone and brought a little confidence on the field. Favored against both the Green Bay WOODUHS (59-0) and the Dogdandy Enforcers (101-6), the Fighters came through as expected. But even then players not totally happy. The Defense has practically fried Chris Hit for his mis-tackle of ROOKIE Willie Parker in the second quarter against the Dogdandy Enforcers to allow the only points of the pre-season scored against the Fighters.

Today's Game against the Vanuatu Kava Sharks looks to be a dismal one for the Fighters. The balanced Vanuatu Kava Sharks are favored to win this one and are talking a lot of smack about the Fighters. With only 5 players with a status lower than twenty the Vanuatu Kava Sharks look pretty tough. The Fighters will have to try and squeeze past their tough offensive line and pressure what they call the weak link QB Michael Cannon. What will come of today's game? A little running game might be just enough to break the defense line and line backers of the Sharks. TBD...

McGruffHawk picks:
Vanuatua -49.5 over Saipan - Zeta's most recent promotion makes its debut over a rebuilt Saipan team who look to make a run late in the season, but will struggle out of the gate against elite teams.

Want to trade? LOL

WOW 0-62 - missed tackles galore!!!

Nah, I got the better player. Just wait and see. I bet your high leveled guy didn't put them moves on a high leveled team when he was level 1

What's the odds on Brisbane losing next game? I bet they are Dogdandy tired after that big 4th Quarter

Actually, only two of our players are in the green, and one is the kicker. No one is below 78. If we lose against West Scranton, it won't be because we're tired. We have players who got nearly 100 plays in and still didn't get too tired. After our fourth score, it looked like we were playing at your speed. I'm guessing that's why players didn't tire out.

Yep, Bort has already posted about "cruise control".
When a team gets up by a large enough margin they go into "cruise" mode where they conserve energy.
This is likely the reason for many of the weaker teams I have seen scoring points late in the game where they didn't last season.

you have underestimated the blitz they will mix it this season...

Oh I am not underestimating the Blitz at all, you are one of the up and comers that I will not take lightly in 2 games like I was able to last season.
You are not under the radar.

It was rumored the owner of the Saipan Fighters had bought a gun and had it at his desk. With the dismantling they took from the Vanuatu Kava Sharks, comicfanman walked back to his office with his head hung low and has not been seen since.

In the locker room the defensive coordinator Jasonthelamb was all over his guys for the number of missed tackles. The game might have not looked so bad if they just made some tackles. Some plays there were 2 and 3 missed tackles at a time. You can't win any ball games that way.

It is slightly rumored that the offense was out on the town late the night before and forgot to bring the "A" to the game, well heck they forgot how to play the game. Kid Dynomite is known to throw a few down and it showed with the number of dropped passes he had. The running backs were having fits because of the low number of carries they had, not that any more carries would have helped the Fighters. Biggest voice in the locker room was from TE Hop and Bop - "We are not going to win any games if you don't get me the ball, we have too many showboats on the team. I am the number 1 guy here, so I demand some respect!!!"

Game two looks to be another tough one for the Saipan Fighters as the coaching staff is scrambling for some answers on how to handle the Co-op City Blitz. Looks like 0-2 to start season 4 for the Fighters.

Jobs were on the line and heads were ready to roll the day of the game versus the Co-Op City Blitz. Owner was even threatening to sell if things don't turn around quickly. Co-Op City Blitz had said before the game "with the odds we have the game is over before we even step on the field". Caleb Reed was reckoned to have a great day and the Blitz's defense had planned to show the Fighters there second shutout of the season.

The cattleprod came out for this game Saipan Fighters' fans. The Saipan Fighters shocked the Oceania Pro League - Zeta Conference in Tuesday. The Fighters brought their "A" game and stunned the Blitz in the first half of the game and had a 3-0 lead going into the locker room. But the Blitz had other plans for the second half. They were not going to lie down for the Fighters. Yes, they might have taken the game a little to much for granted as an easy win and now had a battle on their hands.

The Blitz finally got on the board to take the lead with 5:11 left in the third quarter with a 16 yard run up the middle by Steve Goober. The stubborn Fighters held tough and gave up a really good fight, driving the coaches of the Blitz crazy. And then it happened the miss tackles that haunted Saipan in the first game surfaced and Steve Goober blasted a 74 yard run busting through Justin Moy and AJ tackle on his way with only 4:34 left in the game to make it almost impossible for the Fighters to recover. But backup QB Drew Dixon and starting QB Dylan Salisbury had other plans as they rallied to drive and get a score with 1:19 left in the game. With 1:17 left in the game the Blitz wore down the clock and made it out of a squeeker.

Saipan Fighters left the game with their head held high considering the odds:
Co-Op City -34.5 over Saipan.

I think Saipan is here to make a name for themselves this season. Watch out teams of the Oceania Pro League Zeta.
