1. Talk us through your Week 12 Game, What did you like, what didn't you like?

Very good win for our squad. It may be a down year for Tombstone, but you still have to get the job done each and every game. Offensively we had a very balanced game. An efficient passing game, and our best rushing game of the season. Defensively we did a nice job with passing and rushing as well. Seeing our guys getting to the quarterback with 7 sacks was nice. And Heflin did a nice job in his first HIFL game. All around I'm pleased with our team's work in this game...

2. Talk about anything interesting you around the league...

The playoff races this year are tremendous. Almost nothing is certain at this point, and that is great for the league. Having drama down to the last week of the regular season will help the popularity of our league. For us, I obviously have a close eye on Vegas' results each week... and they continue to win. If we are going to get that division title, they are going to make us earn it.

3. Talk about your game this upcoming week, what do you need to do to win?

Oakland plays hard and tough. They will not make it easy for us to get a win. But we need to go out there, play our brand of football, and get the job done. We need to focus on winning and getting ready for the playoffs...

With the division winners getting a first-round bye this year, we definitely want to win the division, the schedule is favorable, but at the same time, it is for them too. We do our part and it will come down to that final game of the regular season, winner takes all.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2602 on:** August 27, 2018, 07:38:37 PM »

A bye would be tremendous. I know we can't learn a whole lot from a game like this, but how does Heflin's play look compared to our other guys who've been in that spot? Any tangible positives you picked up on?

Talon · « **Reply #2603 on:** August 28, 2018, 12:23:13 PM »

I thought it was a strong performance, he didn't let McIntyre beat him deep, which is a big plus.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2604 on:** August 29, 2018, 04:09:29 PM »

Yeah, I think he could be a nice fit at CB2 for us.

I never feel like we can learn much from a game against a weak team, so I really don't have much else to add on that front...

Any sort of concerns heading into the Oakland game?

Talon · « **Reply #2605 on:** August 29, 2018, 04:18:03 PM »

Nothing out of the usual.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2606 on:** August 29, 2018, 04:48:02 PM »

Alright coach. We'll keep rolling along as is... let's grab another W.

--------------

Let's talk to Edward Heflin.

-------------

Edward, great job out there in your first Knights game. I think you have what it takes to help us go deep into the playoffs...

Talon · « **Reply #2607 on:** August 29, 2018, 05:10:32 PM »

Yes sir, that's what I'm here for! Worked my tail off at Corpus Christi this year, now I'm getting my shot.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2608 on:** August 29, 2018, 07:10:52 PM »

Love the attitude, Edward. Keep it up.

No changes, all decisions by coaching staff.

1. Who was your star player this week? Who disappointed?

We win and lose as a team. This week was a tough one, but we got the job done by grinding out a tough win against a solid Oakland squad. I wouldn't say anyone disappointed. We had some offensive struggles, but most of that can be attributed to the weather, and in the end we made the plays we needed to get a victory. Giving up 7 was nice of defense. I thought Doyle Brady played a nice game tonight. He and Jack are a great pair in our linebacking corps.

2. How would you evaluate your team over the last few weeks?

Not everything has been pretty, but we are winning. That's what you need to do this time of year. We've got some fine tuning we can do to be at our best the rest of the way, but we are going in the right direction, as we have been all season.

3. With three games remaining, what is the plan to end the season on a high note?

If we win the next two we will have a winner takes all game for the division in the final week. That's what we are looking at right now. We aren't looking past Tulsa and Long Beach, but we have a goal that can be attained in a few weeks, and that is in our sights...

4. What do you have to do to win the game this week?

Play our football. Tulsa has some good players on their team, but we should win. It's as simple as that...

Talon · « **Reply #2610 on:** September 05, 2018, 12:43:23 AM »

Lets go.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2611 on:** September 05, 2018, 12:59:14 AM »

Gotta win these next two to put some pressure on Vegas. Let them implode with this Kardashian nonsense...

I think we're ready to roll for Tulsa. Sound good?

Talon · « **Reply #2612 on:** September 05, 2018, 01:18:50 AM »

Lets go.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2613 on:** September 05, 2018, 04:14:47 PM »

Alright, let's do it...

1. Talk about this weeks performance from your team.

Another week, another win. Solid performance. Offensively we had good balance. Keenan was throwing great passes all day long, and we got over 5 yards per rush in the running game. Defensively we were solid as well. We gave up 10 points in the fourth, but the game was in hand by that point. We're doing what we need to do. Win the games we should and get to the Vegas game close enough to win the division and get home field...

2. Talk about your team's news this week.

Christopher Connor played a great game this week. 10 tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, 2 forced fumbles... if he can continue to play at a high level it will add a new dimension to our defense going forward. I'm very happy to see his production this week.

3. Talk about at least two other news stories of interest.

Tombstone is the big story of the week to me. Any time a pro sports team moves it's a big deal. It's a shame they've fallen from Impact Bowl participant to the bottom of the league in just a few years, but I guess that's the fickle nature of the business. If only a former GM didn't get rid of Smoak... Mr. Crowley seems like a good guy so I hope he finds a situation for his team that suits him.

On the field the story has to be Curt Robles. Damn that guy is on a roll. If for some reason Keenan Daley doesn't get MVP of the league the trophy better go to Robles.

4. What do you have to do to win the game this week?

Keep doing what we're doing. Long Beach has started another rebuild so we should be able to take advantage of the changing landscape within their team. Win this one and we get the Vegas showdown the way we want it...

Talon · « **Reply #2615 on:** September 16, 2018, 02:22:56 PM »

I've got nothing this week, I expect us to do use this as a tune up for Vegas..

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2616 on:** September 16, 2018, 02:26:07 PM »

Sounds good. We should take this one easily...

We'll talk before the big one next week.

-----------

Let's talk to Christopher Connor.

---------------

Christopher, hell of a game this week. You were all over the place out there. I was glad our fans got to see how good you can be for us...

Talon · « **Reply #2617 on:** September 16, 2018, 02:34:31 PM »

Thanks dog, Felt good to kinda get out there and earn some extra reps and make some plays. First career sack, that was pretty dope.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2618 on:** September 16, 2018, 02:36:19 PM »

It's a moment you can not only remember for the rest of your life, but build upon as your career continues. Keep up the great work.

Let's get this done.

1. Talk about this weeks performance from your team.

Got a win, as we should have. Long Beach is rebuilding, and we're a contender. We should win that game. Nothing overly spectacular this week, but effective...

2. With the playoffs coming up, what do you hope to achieve in this final week?

Win the game, the division, and get home field advantage. This game couldn't be any bigger as far as a regular season game goes...

3. Who scares you most in the current pool of playoff contenders, who do you hope misses out on the playoffs

No matter who makes the playoffs, we can beat them. We'll take on any and all challengers.

4. What do you need to do to win this next game?

Play our football. Don't let Vegas dictate the game, force our will upon them. We did it once this year, and it's time to do it again....

Talon · « **Reply #2620 on:** **Today** at 11:19:16 PM »

We've done our part up to now, we're a legitimate power in the Western Conference and everyone knows it.
We've beat them once this year, lets do it again and make sure the road to the Impact Bowl runs through San Antonio.

GM Gravedigger · « **Reply #2621 on:** **Today** at 11:28:11 PM »

Agreed. We can make a statement with a win this week. We've made our way this year by basically lining up with what we've got game in game out and rolling with it. I'm thinking we go with what brought us here and don't change anything, but I was curious if you had anything you'd like to tweak this week...

Talon · « **Reply #2622 on:** **Today** at 11:31:39 PM »

No tweaks, its not the time to get cute. We know our team, we just have to hope Keenan can handle his first true clutch-game and get us to the #1 seed.
