Hello, one and all! Welcome to your second edition of EDOTLOCCA’s Corner (that’s ‘Executive Director of the League of Champions Coaches Association’). Yes, I am going to continue to leave the acronym explanation in for every issue because, frankly, I can’t even remember what it stands for. So onwards and upwards, here are my thoughts on the goings on in Week 1 of the LOC 2015!
Coaches Award
Last week the Coaches Award was given based on the draft and this week the presentation will be based on kicking off that 2015 record with a win. This week, for providing an almighty comeback and arguably one of the most exciting games of the season (yes, already), the Award goes to Coach Nunn. His team powered past the Bear Necessities, who had built a commanding lead, despite having two players score zero points! This really was a showing a strength in the starting roster and an indication of what a commendable (and underrated) draft Coach Nunn choreographed.
Honourable mention: Coach Stubbs Jr. who, after an entire season’s worth of waiver wire movements, settled on Austin Seferian-Jenkins who had himself a monster week! This would have been a closer call if Gridiron Gang didn’t run away with the win to the point where the starting TE played no role at all, it could have even been me…
Wooden Spoon
I feel like this coach has already had a rough week and maybe rubbing salt in the wound is harsh? Oh well. Coach Merritt of the Tuckfards placed all his eggs in one basket in Week 1, starting both Colts WRs and there (less than good) DEF. Whilst this coach has been known for w
acky decisions and tactics in the past, this one really crashed and burned, with the all-time leader in playoff appearances posting the lowest total of the week. Will he have learned? I doubt it. Do I care? Not in the slightest, Coach Merritt’s quirkiness is one of the things that really makes the LOC what it is, good luck to him!
Bold Predictions
So after going 1-5 with my predictions from last week (I know right, one actually came to fruition! I am as surprised as you are), time for some more ambitious premonitions!
Forge Flyers vs. The Dream Team: Lots of underwhelming players on both sides of this match up in Week 1, however after some stern, we will see a revival this week! Tannehill, Brees, Anderson, Forsett, McCoy, Johnson, Graham and the Rams DEF all go for 20+ points! For those of you keeping score that is 80+ points apiece, who will win? I don’t know but, it’s going to be close and the scores are going to be huge.
Gridiron Gang vs. Burdettinators: This game has all the makings of a thriller and it should be close. However, Demarco Murray will spoil the tights competition when he runs all over his former team for 150 yards and 3 TDs, leaving Eddie Lacy to pick up the slack in primetime. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t.
IKNAN vs. Bear Necessities: When Coach Sherwood was told he could only start 3 WRs he wasn’t best pleased, so he decided to only start pass catching RBs as well, seemed like the obvious solution. The result of this is a starting line-up that will total 650 receiving yards this week, leaving Bear Necessities hapless to the aerial bombardment, they won’t know what hit them as IKNAN soar to victory.
The Romosexuals vs. Jeff’s Seals: This week’s Coaches Award winner uses the commendation as kindling to the fire, The Romosexuals will more than double Jeff’s Seals score in Week 2 as the auto-draftees come up against some nightmarish match ups.
The Tuckfards vs. Patistan: In what is (apparently) known as ‘The LH Park Road Derby’, the matchup is highlighted by two powerhouse RBs who underwhelmed in Week 1. This will not be repeated however as Peterson and Lynch combine for 350 yards, however Lynch’s 2 TDs to Peterson’s 1 lead Patistan to their first victory in franchise history.
Tom’s Tyrants vs. ADRZ: A game featuring two bargain TEs who played lights out in Week 1 will be close one. Eifert has another nice game for Tom’s Tyrants, but can’t compete with a 3 TD performance from Jason Witten who gets extra looks from Romo in the absence of Bryant (ironically owned by Tom’s Tyrants).
And there we have it, I guess I should aim for 2-4 this week really, but I am pessimistic at best. Good luck to all of you for the Week 2 games! (Except you Coach Wells, sorry but I am very competitive.) Until next time, Turrah!
