EDOTLOCCA's Corner: Week 4

EDOTLOCCA’s Corner

Good day to you, honourable coaches of the LOC! Welcome once again to your weekly dose of me, I know right, lucky you!
This is episode four of EDOTLOCCA’s Corner (that’s ‘Executive Director of the League of Champions Coaches Association’), I hope you are all looking forwards to reading it! In this episode you will see some reverse roles take place in the awards and a slight change of approach in the bold predictions, so lots going on! Now, before the suspense becomes too much for you all, on with the episode!

Coaches Award

Week 3 seemed to be THE week for massive performances as players flying slightly under the radar broke out across the LOC, shaking the very foundations of the league! No performance was more groundbreaking however, than that of Devonta Freeman, who totaled a monstrous 37.3 points for Forge Flyers. Let it not be forgotten that Coach Leach handpicked Freeman from the waivers and, with Tevin Coleman sidelined (*Sigh…*), this looks like a coaching masterstroke! After receiving the wooden spoon last week, with me specifically citing RB depth, Coach Leach has honestly made me look quite stupid… cheers mate. A well deserved Coaches Award goes to Coach Leach for proving me wrong!

Honourable mention: Coach Wells for being the first team of the year and of the 12 team LOC to breach 150 points, whilst remaining the sole undefeated team, well done to you sir!

Wooden Spoon

After what has truly been a blistering start to the season, the LOC should feature two 3-0 teams right now, however demons from the past have resurfaced. Will the margin of loss less than 4 points, starting an IA RB is simply unforgivable. What is worse? The likely replacement (Bernard) scored 8.3 points on the bench. This has been a running theme in teams of Coach Sherwood’s past and I hope this Wooden Spoon award is enough of a kick to get him focused again, this team is stacked with potential.

Bold Predictions

After a second consecutive 0-6 week on predictions (1-17 for the year so far), I am starting to feel like the guy on ‘The Apprentice’ that eventually gets fired for never selling anything, despite being a decent candidate and a genuinely nice guy. Well, after a twisted epiphany featuring Lord Sugar in full football kit firing me for ineptitude, no more Mr. nice EDOTLOCCA. Bold predictions from here on out will be less complex and hopefully my hit rate will go from Jameis Winston-esque to full blown Aaron Rodgers!

Bear Necessities vs. Burdettinators: Two former champions face off and, in a matchup sans-Gronk, no team’s RBs, WRs or TEs score a TD. Luck, Manning and the respective DEFs contribute all the TDs in the match.

Jeff’s Seals vs. ADRZ: This game goes close, in fact there are 15 points in in after the Sunday night games, leaving the win in ADRZ’s reach with Wilson playing Monday night. However, a 3 INT performance topples the last remaining undefeated team in the LOC.

Patistan vs. Forge Flyers: Tannehill and Matthews revel in the London air as the WR catches 3 TDs from his QB. The combination is too much for Patistan and, the cruel bit? Coach Allen is there in person, watching…

The Romosexuals vs. Gridiron Gang: Well, well, well, we all knew it was only a matter of time. Finally the LOC is treated to the almighty showdown of Flacco vs. Carr! I kid, but the matchups are ridiculous, the pair combine for 8 TDs.

The Tuckfards vs. IKNAN: The current No. 1 (Broncos) and 2 (Cardinals) ranked DEFs in fantasyland go head to head, but after this week the Cards go top overall, leading The Tuckfards to victory on another 20+ point performance.

Tom’s Tyrants vs. The Dream Team: Murray out-rushes all of Tom’s Tyrants’ RBs and Jones out-receives all of The Dream Team’s WRs, leaving it to be decided by a throw-off. Bradford loses and The Dream Team win.

So there you have it, the turning point of the Bold Predictions! I can’t see any way this lovely lot go anything other than 6-0, can you? Until next time, Turrah!
