'I am better than RoughRiders' Dominique Salisbury', says Daniel Bayer LB Daniel Bayer had words of praise for himself in a recent interview. 'I am one of the best LBs in the game', he said. The Reapers player remarks came in response to some online speculation about who was the better LB. 'I think I have proved what I am. I feel confident about where I am, but I think maybe Dominique Salisbury has a little more he needs to prove, if you get me? At least if he want to be compared to me.', he said.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems This is just going by my intuition.
Defense dominates in Toronto. The North defensive line is slashing opposing offenses so far this season with a total of 18 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 63 tackles in 7 games.
Gamblers lost. Gamblers casts blame. Marcus Small pointed the finger at his fellow Gamblers players after they lost. 'We have to step up, all of us.' he said. 'But some guys are not stepping up and we end up losing. They need to get their head in the game', he continued. Marcus Small - QB was clearly upset after the Gamblers loss. 'We need to look at ourselves. If you are Bradley Arnold (T), can you look at your performance and be happy? This whole team needs to work harder. This whole team needs to decide what we want', the QB said.
Totems keeping tabs on Ramirez An individual with connections in the Totems' locker room says that William Ramirez - WR is dividing the locker room.

If he keeps playing such astonishing football, he’s got a shot at becoming a franchise legend.Bolling: The icon News in BCFC is that the retirement of Andrew Bolling - RB is on everyones minds this season. Surely, losing a legend of Bolling's caliber is something the Bears are planning for. Still, it is hard to feel sorry for BCFC. After all they do get to have a legend on their team for now.

The free-agent signing period had just begun, and Zavala's agent called to tell him that the Bears head coach was in town. Soon, Zavala was meeting him at an executive airport.
Now, Zavala is being fitted for a Bears uniform.
One of the league's top FSs and top free-agent prize agreed Friday to a 2 year contract worth $3,736,200.
"It's one thing to play football in this league and make a living, but it's a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Bears," Zavala said.
LB Daniel Bayer (NO) goes #1 overall! NEW YORK -- The New Orleans Reapers drafted Daniel Bayer #1 overall in the 2074 draft. The 6' 2" LB fits the team's needs perfectly. Said Reapers general manager: "It's up to us to develop him and get good players around him."
"The great thing about the game of football is, it's a team game," Bayer said on a conference call. "I'm just going to be one piece of the puzzle."
Moore and Nox Mock DraftPick 1: New Orleans Reapers Larry Moore: Daniel Bayer - LB The kind of leadership he shows makes coaches salivate. This kid is not afraid to work hard. What you get with this kid, is a guy who understands that this is a team sport. Strength is definitely one of his premier qualities. It will serve him well. This young man is fast enough to drop even the fast RBs for losses is they come his way. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.
Jim Nox: Daniel Bayer - LB Every team values leadership, someone to lead by example, this is the guy. Raised to know the value of hard work. What you get with this kid, is a guy who understands that this is a team sport. Could almost play Defensive End, he is that strong. Coaches love that versatility. Mightily fast on his first step. Could become a true sack machine. Fits nicely with their needs. Fits nicely with the draft spot. Getting it right is important with these early picks. This guy is right.
Pick 2: Seattle Totems Larry Moore: James Terrill - CB Not a speedster per se, but enough to play man. He is faster than he is given credit for. Coaches like guys who tackle well. It is not often that the talent available fits perfectly with what you need. When it does, it makes for a win-win situation. This young man is going to be put in a position to succeed.
Jim Nox: James Terrill - CB Not a speedster per se, but enough to play man. He is faster than he is given credit for. Makes good tackles. They gotta be happy to get this guy. Such a talent and he fits their needs. I would imagine the war room is celebrating when they make this pick.
Pick 3: Windsor Gamblers Larry Moore: Marcus Small - QB He is smart enough to get the ins and outs of the pro game. Delivers the ball accurately. They almost have to make this pick. You do not want to look back in five years and see this kid on another team knowing he could have been yours.
Jim Nox: Alan Sanders - LB I like the way he tackles. Wraps up the ball carrier and drags him down. No need to take chances. He has sufficient strength to not get bulllied on run plays. Nice speed for a Defensive End. Enough to keep contain and get sacks. Some might say this is a 'need' pick, but we must remember, this is a really good player as well. He will contribute early and often. No losers here.
Pick 4: Toronto North Larry Moore: Alan Sanders - LB Consistently takes down ball carrier on tackles. Not the strongest, but strong enough. Can maintain his leverage and shed blocks. Will not have to come off the field for in obvious passing situations. Has enough quickness to pressure Quarterbacks off the edge. He will get a great chance to earn the starting job. He fits what they are looking for. He is a solid player. Cannot go wrong here.
Jim Nox: Rick Conover - LB Solid technique on tackles. Not the strongest, but strong enough. Can maintain his leverage and shed blocks. Offenses will need to keep tabs on him. He will close down fairly quickly if left unblocked. He addresses a need for them.
Pick 5: BCFC Bears Larry Moore: Scott Chen - DE He can do what they want. He will deliver results early. He fits a need. End of story.
Jim Nox: Scott Chen - DE Take the blue-chip player. Do not worry about sexier picks. He fits what you need and the quality is there.
Pick 6: Houston RoughRiders Larry Moore: William Spillman - SS Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. He fills a hole at the position. Blue-chip player. Will fit right in and start right away. Love it.
Jim Nox: William Spillman - SS He is driven by the love of the sport. The stars align for them to get him here. Just what they need. Blue-chip player with great upside. Hard to botch this pick.
Pick 7: Nova Scotia Vikings Larry Moore: Rick Conover - LB Wraps up well when tackling. Would occasionally flatten offensive linemen in college. Even in the pros, opponents better not try to block him with a Tight End or Running Back. Is fast enough to get sacks. Is fast enough to contain outside runs. Those are the players you look for at Defensive End. They need playmakers at this position. This is what they are getting here. Solid pick.
Jim Nox: Joseph Woodruff - WR Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. Makes defenders miss. Maintains his balance after the catch. Will change direction to avoid tacklers. Reacts with good instincts. He fills a need for them. Great pick here.
Pick 8: Memphis Pharaohs Larry Moore: Joseph Woodruff - WR His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Well liked in the locker room. Has the elusiveness and the ability to change direction smoothly to punish any lapse in attention from the defense. Works well in the classroom. I know a lot of people have been waiting impatiently to see him play at the pro level. The wait just got a little shorter.
Jim Nox: Joe Workman - CB Known for showing up early and staying late. Respected for his good behavior on the field. Here you have a guy, who really benefits the atmosphere in the building. Everyone wants to be around him. Coaches are always looking to add more speed to the defensive backfield. This guy has enough to make an impact. If you want to win, you have to get players like this kid. Make the pick and watch as teams below you frown.
Pick 9: New Orleans Reapers Larry Moore: Jeffrey Pratt - WR This kid puts in the work. Consistently comes down with the ball. He addresses a need for them.
Jim Nox: Paul Herring - WR Here is a guy who could legitimately run track as a pro. Opponents better nump him at the line. They need players at the position, and good ones at that. He fits the bill, he is worth the pick. End of story.
Pick 10: Seattle Totems Larry Moore: Joe Workman - CB Known for showing up early and staying late. His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Known among his teammates as a bit of a goofball, but never in a bad way. The kind that keeps spirits high even when a season goes south. Pretty good straight line speed. Will keep up with most receivers. They need him now. Well yesterday actually. They will love him tomorrow. They will revere him by the end of his career.
Jim Nox: Dennis Kramer - LB Teammates love him. All he cares about is the team. He helps everyone succeed. This guy is pure muscle. He will shed blocks and hit he hole on run plays. Deceptively fast, will make you dizzy with his speed rush. He can do what they want. He will deliver results early. He fits a need. End of story.
