So, as promised, I'm going to do a post on my MyFootballNow Cleveland team.
This 2016 season thusfar has been a bit of a cluster.
Talk about art imitating life.
So here's my first game of the season... A home game versus Pittsburgh. This link will actually go to a replay play-by-play of the whole game. It's pretty cool.
Anyway... Yeah, as you can see, my offense is... Offensive. The starting QB on my staff, John Lyons, is a virtual stud (current rating of 90 out of a possible 100). He is a dual-threat player with a normally good scrambling ability. When I came in on the team last year, he wound up being a potent QB for a 6-10 team.
This year, he's playing with a hurt knee, and is largely ineffective.
Due to Lyons' knee issues, the ground game is largely docile. Aaron Williams and David Hoard (both 61 rating) both have sparks of decency, but Lyons is the main rushing threat. Running backs seem to be at a premium in the league, so there's no real improvement opportunities yet.
My WR corps are above average, with the star being Albert Ranieri (96 rating). However, he's not the star right now, which is a little odd. Can't tell if the league's catching up to him, if I'm playing teams with a lockdown secondary, or Lyons' ineffectiveness is just making Ranieri a non-factor.
My O-Line is particularly susceptible on the left side it seems, allowing several sacks over there. I'm sure there's a mix of straight and coverage sacks due to Lyons' 'mobility', but it's a bit disconcerting.
My defense has moments of struggle, but is overall okay. The D-Line doesn't seem to get a ton of pressure on the QB, and the secondary doesn't get burned often. However, there's just times where it seems like the secondary is just... Not quite right where they need to be. Not sure if they're just getting gassed early; if that's the case, that's a bad bad thing.
A continuing example would be the next game at home versus Denver.
*sigh* So 0-2 to start the season, with a big game at Baltimore coming up. I've made some tweaks to general gameplanning, so we'll see what happens.
More to come.
