So I created a new HC, Ron Burgundy, to take over for the Oakland Raiders during the preseason.

Coach Skills(personality=traditionalist)
-OL physical level 4
-DL physical level 4
-HB intangibles level 3
-OL intangibles level 4
-DL intangibles level 4
I plan to upgrade hb intangibles to level 4, and then LB intangibles to 4. we'll see where it goes after that

Playbooks
Offense=Smashmouth running w/deep passes. A lot like the 70s style football
Defense=Jaguars physical D. CBs play man 100% of the time. LBs blitz, cover2, or man cvg. Safeties either blitz or zone with very little man cvg.

Team Philosophies
QB=strong arms/tools
RB=power
FB=balanced
WR=strong/blocking
TE=blocking
C=run blocking
OG=run blocking
OT=run blocking
DE=balanced
DT=balanced
OLB=balanced
MLB=balanced
CB=man coverage/ballhawk
FS=centerfield
SS=run supporter/big hitter

House Rules
-no players with "superstar", "virtuoso" or "lone-wolf" personalities.
-no special skills for me or anyone else on the coaching staff(GM and trainer too)
-no looking at draft preview
-claystone's sliders
-no scouting inseason
-during offseason, only scout up to 73%(no player comparision, potential, or +'s and -'s))
-dont use individual workouts(makes the first 2 rounds so much harder if you arent sure if he is a bust or not)
-with regards to rookies, playing the game more realistically(depth chart)

This isnt a house rule, but rather a smart way to build a team, but I also will not accept players on the team unless they have a learning of at least 61.

I will sim the first season, and start in the very next offseason.

I wont be using the Joe Kain draft class(even though i love it) or the Jack English class(ive done year 1 in it during my test chises before). So I hope to get the other two. I'll just save before preseason week 4 and keep on advancing untill I dont get those 2 classes.
Although if i get the joe kain draft again i just might keep it since i love the storylines in it. The only guys with set names who i know will be good are caraun lawrence, bo jackson, scott burke, and john onken, and tristan riley(who i will avoid because the guy is HUGE-300 lbs at least-and hes cheap). the rest of the names of the ppl i picked are randomized so i wont know whos who.

So looking at the roster right now, the ONLY players i would want to keep 3 years from now are Aso,kirk morrison, and shane lechler. wow
thomas howard has a bad personality, as does dmac, and the rest of the guys are overpaid.

Next update saturday night most likely, when the new dynasty manager comes out
