Good job guys on adding a bit to confidence (getting in the 20's) during the boosting phase.

Ok, this thread has reached 8 pages and I don't have the time to read it all to catch up.
Would someone sum it up for me please?

- Preseason is 24 hours away (2 games)
- Updated contracts issued.
- Need 2 back-up LB's
- Players are getting boosted - and we're slowly building team confidence to the 20's.
- We're in a dogfight conference where anything can happen.

Pariah - you were too quick on the trigger finger - I have to send you another contract for the Knights.

Any thoughts on SS Victor Creed, OT Arkady Rossovich and DE James Howlett boosting?
I'm leaning towards waiting till the end of the season for more XP from lower levels, but can see Creed being more usefull @ a higher level as a starter.

My opinion - we're a minor league team trying to "build" players.
I boosted my QB and K only to help the offense move the ball and get some points.
The rest of my crew are doing the "slow build route".

Okay we laid a stink bomb L 3-28.
I know we're a much better team and our coordinators are still messing with the controls.
I did see quite a bit of potential - especially with the talent in our running game.
Coordinators we need to give the players instructions on how to set their settings. I still had mine set to favor long passes (back from the D league days) and I'm pretty sure our o-line was a mixed bag of settings.
We also need to decide about the "auto" settings are we using it? What percentage do you the coordinators want?
We also need to remind back-ups to play "hard".

Our running game needs to concentrate on outside running, IMO.

Runnoph Myhugeass: 40 plays, 24 pancakes!!!!
Yikes!
What attribute cures the dropsies? Taikento has been plagued by this his entire career, and had 5 freaking drops. He would have had over 100 yards rec if he would have caught those...so my focus is going to be curing that, and fast.

That is impressive.
My QB, Benjamin Poindexter, had a pancake in the last scrimmage, too. (he's not on the knights or czars, though).
