Game of the Week: Memphis Pharaohs at Nova Scotia Sharks

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Memphis Pharaohs
Looking at how the teams match up, it is likely that David Silva - DT needs to show up, but if he does the Pharaohs defense is very stingy. There will be some very good football to watch here.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
One of the most underestimated defenses. They are 5th in sacks with 53. They are 1st in points allowed, averaging only 12.1. They are 1st in pass defense. They only give up 161.5 per game. They are 1st in run defense. Giving up only 87 yards per game. They are 1st in interceptions with 19. They are 3rd in the league in tackles for loss. They are 4th in forced fumbles.

Jim Nox : Memphis Pharaohs
The amount leadership on the Pharaohs will really help them this week. You only need to look at guys like Cordell Denning - QB and Jonathan Bennett - T to see the importance. Leadership like that helps you win games. Just win baby.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
The Sharks are the real deal.

Sousa sees the bright side of Pharaohs loss.

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at New Orleans Reapers

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : New Orleans Reapers
For this game, I have to point out that Edward Martinez will be dominant here. The young CB is going to cause headaches for any offense. This week is no difference. They win big.

Mary Moore : New Orleans Reapers
Surely, the Reapers win. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. They will put up a lot of points.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
The leadership on the Sharks is great. You look at guys like Ernest Vanhoose - QB and what he does for a team. Leadership like that helps you win games. Replace the batteries in your remote. You do not want to miss this game.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Reapers
I see them winning again this week. You heard it here first.

Ness cementing his status.

News in Memphis is that many in the owners circle are already considering Damian Ness as a sure fire first ballot hall of famer. Naturally, many in Memphis are eager to have him retire with the Pharaohs. Banners are already being drafted.

Horacio Kyle blasts the Reapers in aftermath of Pharaohs loss.

War of words happening between the Pharaohs and the Reapers after game. 'I think we were the best team on the field. You know, the Reapers can point to the result all they want, but they did not deserve to win this.

Week 13: QB Cordell Denning (MEM) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The Memphis Pharaohs' Cordell Denning threw 3 touchdowns, completing 16 of 23 passes for 373 yards in the Pharaohs victory over the Houston RoughRiders.

Totems - 13, Bears - 10

Game of the Week: Toronto North at Nova Scotia Sharks

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Toronto North
For this game, the film shows that Clifford Hardwick - LB will be a key player to watch. He always delivers a highlight reel.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
Head coach Shawn Reynolds has this team running like a well oiled machine. He makes great offensive adjustments. Defensively he makes great adjustments. A double digit win.

Jim Nox : Toronto North
In the context of this game, I facy that Rene Steiner - LB needs to show up, but if he does the North defense is very stingy.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
I think having a team players like John Smith - TE is the kind of thing that will help the Sharks win this game. This game will be so very entertaining.

Batts giving back.

Memphis just loves Batts. The 28 year old LB from Memphis Pharaohs has been helping out anywhere he can in the local community.

Leone targets DE George Brown after Sharks loss.

Bobby Leone was furious with his team in an interview after the Sharks lost. He called out the effort on both offense and defense. 'These guys, they do not seem hungry. We have to get on the same page. Are we doing this or not?', he complained. Bobby Leone - T was clearly upset after the Sharks loss. 'We need to look at ourselves.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
They will be angry after losing that last game. They will be fired up to win here.

Mary Moore : Houston RoughRiders
Do not sleep on this defense. They are 1st in sacks with 60. They are 4th in points allowed, averaging only 20.5. They are 4th in run defense. Giving up only 95.4 yards per game. They are 2nd in interceptions with 10. They are 2nd in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 1st in forced fumbles. There will be a lot to dissect after this game.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
The Sharks are better than you think. They get the W.

Darren Francis : Houston RoughRiders
In the context of this game, I think a good bet is that The RoughRiders' defense goes through Eugene McCain - DT. This man has the ability to change games. Easy prediction.

Top receiver trio?

The North trio of Frank Marchand - TE, William Acuna - RB and Ralph Goodrich - WR are currently the leading trio of receivers in the league, with 14 receving touchdowns between the three.

Dallas Guy - RB is looking good!

Dallas Guy - RB is looking like the bees knees out there so far this season. If he keeps playing such outstanding football, he’s got a shot at being remembered as one of the greats.

Hadley a Gamblers legend

Rumors on social media are swirling that Martin Hadley - G is among the favorites in his generation for the future hall of fame. Clearly, after 12 seasons in the league, playing at his level, it is hard to dispute. Hall of fame or not, Hadley is a legend, not only in Windsor, but nationally. The Gamblers have made no comment on the subject before, but seem fairly satisfied with the whole thing.

'I am better than Totems' Matthew Neely', says Numbers Pinson

DT Numbers Pinson had words of praise for himself in a recent interview. 'I am one of the best DTs in the game', he said. The Totems player remarks came in response to some online speculation about who was the better DT. 'I think I have proved what I am.

They are 2nd in run defense. Giving up only 89.2 yards per game. They are 1st in interceptions with 11. They are 5th in the league in tackles for loss. I am looking forward to watching this showdown.

Mcgee: The icon

News in Toronto is that the retirement of Antonio Mcgee - RB is on everyones minds this season. Surely, losing a legend of Mcgee's caliber is something the North are planning for. Still, it is hard to feel sorry for Toronto. After all they do get to have a legend on their team for now.

John Christmas consoles Reapers after loss.

John Christmas pointed no fingers and saw the upside to the Reapers loss. John Christmas - C was upbeat in his assessment after the Houston lost a close game to the Christmas. 'We learned a lot.

Darren Francis : Houston RoughRiders
I find it hard to bet against coach Justin Harris. He always has them well prepared. He is running a great offense. He is running an explosive defense. He is really good at analyzing and preparing for opponents.

Defense dominates in Houston.

The RoughRiders defensive line is victimizing the men on the other side of the ball so far this season with a total of 34 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 63 tackles in 8 games.

Wilde stirring trouble

An anonymous source in the North' locker room claim coaches are keeping a close eye on Thomas Wilde - P. They fear he is a bad influence on the younger players.

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at Memphis Pharaohs

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Memphis Pharaohs
I may be biased here, but I think the Pharaohs are obviously the better team.

Mary Moore : Memphis Pharaohs
The Pharaohs have really strong team play. You look at a player like Jonathan Bennett - T and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
When you consider the two rosters, you can make the argument that The Sharks rely on Harold Lowery - RB on their offense. This is no reason to worry, he is great.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
You just have to look at their defense. They are 4th in sacks with 22. They are 1st in points allowed, averaging only 13.2. They are 1st in pass defense. They only give up 153.5 per game. They are 1st in run defense. Giving up only 82.7 yards per game. They are 1st in interceptions with 6. They are 4th in forced fumbles. They will rack up a lot of points.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
Looking at the teams, most people think that Charles Cassell - C will dominate the defense. This is going to be great to watch.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
The Sharks are a much better team than everyone thinks

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
In this game, everything points to that The Bears' defense goes through Joe Hornsby - DE. This man has the ability to change games.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
Leadership. You cannot discount the difference it makes. I am thinking of a guy like Joe Hornsby - DE. He will lead the way and help them win. This game will be so very entertaining.

Top receiver trio?

The Reapers trio of Robert Moya - WR, Jacob Wooley - WR and Glenn Cameron - WR are currently the leading trio of pass catchers in the league, with 1070 receiving yards between the three.

Fitch gloats after Totems victory.

Benny Fitch did not hold back when asked about the Totems after their game. 'That was a pretty poor showing on their part' said the Benny Fitch - CB Totems. Continuing with details about the Pharaohs's players missed tackles and lack of communication Fitch did not hold back. He will surely have put off several Pharaohs fans, as well as people in his own front office.

Patrick Kirk blasted the effort of some teammates after the loss. 'These guys have to show up' he said.

If you look at the game, you will see some players just are not delivering.' said the Totems T. Asked to clarify, Kirk suggested William Blankenship - DE needs to perform better, but underscored that there was plenty of blame to go around. 'Guys need to listen, we need to get grinding, you cannot just show up and expect to play or expect to win', Kirk concluded.

The Sharks have really strong team play. You look at a player like John Smith - TE and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better. There will be a lot to dissect after this game.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
Head coach Shawn Reynolds runs a tight ship in Nova Scotia. I feel certain he has prepared an excellent gameplan. He is doing some really smart things on offense. He is one of the best defensive minds. A single digit win.

Vest points fingers after North loss.

Roland Vest blasted the gameplan after the loss. It is the coaches' responsibility to make sure we are prepared for what they throw at us. They failed us. The North DE said he felt they were outcoached in their latest game. 'We seem to always come up short in the critical situations.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
For this match up, a good bet is that Matthew Neely - DT can take over a game. The Totems defense is great when he shows up.

Field in trouble again?

The commisioner, in a recent interview, hinted that new investigations were under way concerning North' FS David Field David Field has had trouble with the law earlier in his career, and has been unable to distance himself from bad influences off the field.

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Windsor Gamblers
Larry Moore: Adam Conte - QB
This is a kid who aced the wonderlic. He always gives the receiver a chance to make the play. Receivers need to be on their toes because he throws hard. People always say you should not prioritize needs over quality. That is not an issue here, they get to have their cake and eat it too.

Jim Nox: Alejandro Arias - CB
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. He will be a nice asset to the defense. His speed compliments his game well. Will not have a hard time digesting a pro playbook. Solid talent that fits their needs. Really that is all there is to it. Perfect situation. Take the money and run.

Pick 2: Toronto North
Larry Moore: Alejandro Arias - CB
Here is a kid who no one doubts will put in the work. Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. Has the speed to stay close to his man. While not elite, he has enough speed that you can do a lot of different things with him. Plays with great insticts. They need playmakers at this position. This is what they are getting here. Solid pick.

Jim Nox: Adam Conte - QB
Rarely do you see college quarterbacks come out with this level of understanding. Delivers the ball accurately. Nice arm, will be even better in a couple of seasons. They will be running to the podium for this one.

Pick 3: New Orleans Reapers
Larry Moore: Donald Monson - CB
Nice speed. Will allow him to do a lot of things. Fans might not be on board with what can be framed as a need pick. But trust me once they see this kid play, they will be more than happy.

Jim Nox: Donald Monson - CB
Is fast enough to be asked to cover most receivers and deliver good results. They would be crazy not to take him here. A great fit, both in terms of what they need and the quality of player they get. This will put a smile on many faces.

Pick 4: Seattle Totems
Larry Moore: David Silva - DT
His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. Will never be a speed rusher, but his speed compliments his game nicely. It is definitely an asset. No nonsense tackler. It is all about fit here. Is there a guy at a position of need, worthy of a pick this high? The answer, obviously, is 'heck yeah'.

Jim Nox: David Silva - DT
This kid puts in the work. Has never been known for his speed. But he is pretty fast, and definitely fast enough to harass Quarterbacks up the middle. Consistently takes down ball carrier on tackles. They should not be afraid to fill a need here. He will start day one. Quality pick right here.

Pick 5: Nova Scotia Sharks
Larry Moore: John Allen - SS
Respected for his good behavior on the field. Known among his teammates as a bit of a goofball, but never in a bad way. The kind that keeps spirits high even when a season goes south. With all the stuff you will be asked to do from the Strong Safety position, you really want mobility on the player. This guy can get wherever you want him fast. Reliably takes down ball carrier when he gets his hands on him. He can do what they want. He will deliver results early. He fits a need. End of story.

Jim Nox: John Allen - SS
He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. Well liked in the locker room. Just his speed alone almost guarantees that he will be picked early. For defensive backs, you simplu cannot be slow. This guy is not slow, far from it. Tackles with good leverage. Rarely lets people go. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Pick 6: Memphis Pharaohs
Larry Moore: Joseph Dozier - G
Did you see him bench press?! Wow! In the run game he blocks well, shows tenacity and opens lanes. This will benefit the team. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Jim Nox: Joseph Dozier - G
Rarely do a player this young bench pres this much. This kind of physical foundation given him an incredible ceiling. Has nice technique when blocking on run plays. Keeps his leverage and finishes his blocks. They gotta be happy to get this guy. Such a talent and he fits their needs. I would imagine the war room is celebrating when they make this pick.

Pick 7: BCFC Bears
Larry Moore: Eric Beane - DT
He will get a great chance to earn the starting job. He fits what they are looking for. He is a solid player. Cannot go wrong here.

Jim Nox: Eric Beane - DT
He will get a great chance to earn the starting job. He fits what they are looking for. He is a solid player. Cannot go wrong here.

Pick 8: Houston RoughRiders
Larry Moore: Charles Cassell - C
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. Even though this is a youngster right out of college, he is strong like a grown man. Takes in instructions well. Take the blue-chip player. Do not worry about sexier picks. He fits what you need and the quality is there.

Jim Nox: Charles Cassell - C
This guy understands what it means to be a pro. This is a young man who will bench press a Defensive Tackle, and not a small one! He was one of the smarter kids in college. They will be running to the podium for this one.

Pick 9: Windsor Gamblers
Larry Moore: Rex Brandon - CB
When the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.

Jim Nox: Rex Brandon - CB
Fill the need with a quality player. Best case scenario here.

Pick 10: Toronto North
Larry Moore: William Mitchell - DT
No point in getting to the ball carrier if you cannot take him down. This kid tackles well. That is something teams are looking at. A player that fits their needs. The promise of a future star. This will be great for the franchise.

Jim Nox: William Thomas - FS
Not afraid to lead. He is alert and makes smart decisions to developments in the play. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.
