Today we start with Offense and Defense. It would take forever to write about all of the teams, so we will write about the top 3 and bottom 3.
SCORING DEFENSE
The Top 3:
1. PRETTY BOYS
POINTS: The Pretty Boys have scored 504 of their 1040 points on defense (48.46%)
The Pretty Boys have been dominant on defense. They rank in the top half of the league in all four positions, including being the top LB scorers in the league by 30 points. Kicker Jason Hanson has turned in a quality season, and though DL Jared Allen isn't having his typical statistical year...he has still scored well enough to be #3 among all defensive lineman. Even when Sean Weatherspoon went down with an injury, Coach Danneker found and plugged in Lavonte David and he has scored in double digits both games.
2. FREEMASONS
POINTS: The Freemasons have scored 494.5 of their 1032.5 points on defense (47.89%)
The Freemasons have been carried by their Defensive Backs. Charles Tillman is having an MVP caliber season, while Ronde Barber sits just outside of the top five scorers. In fact, the Freemasons DBs have scored 25 points more than the next highest team (Riggins). Young rookie DL Chandler Jones has been a steady force for the Masons as he currently ranks #6 in scoring. Only injuries and a pedestrian kicking game have help this squad back. The Freemasons do lead the league in number of different kickers started, with 4 on the season.
3. FELONS
POINTS: The Felons have scored 469.5 of their 1117.5 points on defense (42.01%)
Strong front four play has kept the Felons defensive motors running. Jason Pierre-Paul and Chad Greenway are both top five contributors. It is in the kicking game and secondary where the Felons will need more points to keep pace with the top two defenses in the PBR league. Kam Chancellor and George Wilson came into the season with high hopes and higher projections...and while they haven't quite lived up to them, they are putting up enough points to remain competitive. New Kicker Sebastian Janikowski has shored up the kicking game for the Felons as he has averaged just over 11 points in his three games with the team.
The Bottom 3:
10. ROOMMATES
POINTS: The Roommates have scored 407 of their 969 points on defense (42.0%)
The Roommates boast the second best scoring LB duo...but even that can't keep this squad out of the gutter. LBs Patrick Willis and DeMarcus Ware have put together great seasons, but the DBs have faltered. The Roommates rand dead last in DB scoring, averaging 4.75 pts per player a game. If you compare that to the league leading Freemasons, the Roommates score just half of what the Masons do. The kicking game hasn't helped, as the Roommates rank 10th out of the 12 teams.
11. HURRICANES
POINTS: The Hurricanes have scored 382 of their 1059 points on defense (36.07%)
Problems on the defensive line and in the linebacker positions has lead to the Hurricanes near bottom ranking. The Canes rank dead last in DL scoring, and 11th in LB scoring. Luckily their kicking game ranks third, or this defense would really be in trouble. The players DL have yet to score in double figures this season, and if you add BOTH DL players they have scored in double figures just twice. It is not from a lack of trying...the Canes have had 6 different DL and 7 different LB play throughout the year.
12. BUZZCOCKS
POINTS: The Buzzcocks have scored 381 of their 942 points on defense (40.45%)
The kicking game has been the only group on the defensive side to rank in the top half of the league for the Buzz...and even they only come in at 6th. The Buzz simply hasn't been able to find a line up that they like, starting 16 different players in the the 6 defensive spots. Only DL Chris Clemmons has been with the team the entire season.
