306 Tackles......good season, man


Thanks

As I have said before, this is not really a huge deal because Taylor would not have done nearly as well had he been playing on a team full of equally-leveled players. His easily outlevels his teammates by about 10+ levels, which gives him the advantage when trying to get to the ball carrier and making the tackle.

300 is a lot of tackles, but Taylor couldn't do it without his teammates backing him up

Thought I'd bump this since Taylor is still a tackling machine. I vote yes for Pro Bowl and we're not even halfway through the season

Goldfish didn't get you any help on defense for this season?

Unfortunately, you are a good player on a bad team. I remember when the expansion team Atlanta Falcons drafted Tommy Nobis in 1966 with their original first round pick. For years, if Nobis didn't make the play on the Falcon's defense, nobody did. I guess that makes you the "Tommy Nobis of the Goldfish".

I thought the Goldfish were a slowbuild team and Devon was like 10 levels ahead of them. Also, 40 points in stamina already? Doh at misuse of SP. I've made some of those mistakes early on too. I hope you're capping vision soon. And your strength is kind of lacking for a MLB. Powerbacks will eat you up. Lucky for us, we don't really have any good powerbacks in this league.

True - we are slowbuild. I had been slowbuilding Taylor for 5 seasons and felt it was about time to add in some SP before this season. He still has 30 unused SP that I plan on using after this season.

Vision is fine where it's at now, although, yes, I do plan on increasing next. Tackling and strength are lower than expected, but 19 mistakles in 1 and 1/2 seasons is pretty dang good considering the amount of successful tackles made.

Remember when the infamous SHEADER was in this league? What a joke, LOL

After "lighting it up" this season for a whopping thirty yards in seven attempts, Shreader is a free agent now. You heard it right! You can have Shreader on your team for a song and maybe an autograph!

Not if he faces any O-line with agility. I've got a player ripping it up, but its because of this league.

I'm so gald we got rid of him. You know it's bad when your own teammates see your posts in forums and want you to shut the hell. I will give it to him, though. He kept me amused. As much as I wanted him to shut up, he kept me laughing.

Just as a follow-up. It appears that someone has given Shreadder another shot. He is currently playing backup RB for the 0-12 Budapest Cardinals in East Europe A-League. I'd never seen a team with an overall team chemistry rating of ten at this point in the season until I saw the Cardinals. I suspect the owner may have picked up the team in midseason and dumped everyone to start over again. Good luck, Shreadder. You are going to need it!

They must have been very very desperate if they signed The Shread Head!
