by tennsports | 2 years ago | 0 Comments

We have concluded one week of TNSML Madden 23! As commish, I will try my best moving forward to give a weekly update on league news and happenings.

TEXANS, BUCCANEERS ON FIRE

The Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are atop their respective conferences undefeated and 3-0. The more surprising of the two would be the Houston Texans, led by Landon. Houston's being ignited by QB Trey Lance and their emerging WR duo of Nico Collins and Brevin Jordan. Landon is not looking to stop anytime soon, as he has four undefeated teams, Miami, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, and New York, are right behind him. However, he is excited about what he's seeing so far.

"Trey Lance is a DAWG," Landon said, "Nico Collins is a dawg, Mike Williams is a dawg, Dameon Pierce is a dawg. We just gotta develop all the young ones so they become dawgs."

NICK CHUBB MARCHING FOR HISTORY

Nick Chubb has been a force for Sweezer. After acquiring his new RB from the Browns, he has not hesitated to give him the carries he needs. Chubb has over 60 carries and 500 yards in just the last two weeks! Don't expect that to slow down anytime soon. 

"People always say he's not top three, he's injury prone, and gets carried by his offensive line," Sweezer says, "Just a lot of disrespect toward him so he's trying to create one of the best seasons in NFL history and on pace to do so." 

COWBOYS MOVING ON

The Cowboys traded away their superstar RB Ezekiel Elliot in a big move, and according to Cowboys' team owner Kareem, it was a move for cap space.

"Zeke is really good," Kareem says, "But I free'd a lot of cap ... Zeke had like 7 touchdowns in three games for me, near 400 yards." 

The Cowboys are happy with Pollard, both performance and financial-wise. "I just don't like forcing the run game, and with a player like Zeke I feel like I had to."

BROWNS REBUILD RUMORS TRUE?

There were whispers that the Browns were in full rebuild mode, which angered fans as they felt the Browns were ready for contention. According to team owner Austin, they are "not at all" in rebuild mode.

Well, what's the answer for the long on the block list and the riddance of Chubb? It seems to be to beef up the defense.

"My secondary consists of Jalen Ramsey, Tredavious White, and Denzel Ward," Austin said, "Team will be incredible once our WRs develop." 

DADDYLEAGUES TOP 5

Daddyleague's top 5 is a good one. It's early, but could be an early look at who's here to dominate the season!

1. Buccaneers

The Bucs have been fueled by their electric offense, dominating opponents and scoring in the 100s twice. OUCH! Their 1st ranked offense and 5th ranked defense has made them tough to handle.

2. Houston Texans

The Texans have been amazing on offense, posting top 5 numbers in all but one category: Yards (3rd), P. Yards (8th), and R. Yards (2nd). Overall, their offense is 4th.

3. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles have been jumpstarted by their QB Jalen Hurts who's formed a solid connection with his WRs. Hurts' defense has been supportive of him as well, ranking 6th in the TNSML.

4. Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins' defense has been wreaking havoc on opposing teams. A unit led by Xavien Howard's six interceptions is ranked 3rd overall in the TNSML.

5. New York Jets

The Jets are turning into an all-around solid unit. Ranked top-10 on both sides of the ball, you can never catch a break facing gang green. A balanced attack is a good attack, and the Jets have mastered that.
