Staff and starters

Against the Grain

Heavy friction

No element runs this starting lineup. A balanced group that can win in different ways.

Head coach vs. starting lineupJeff HafleyMixed

Hafley has a mixed relationship with this lineup. 12 of 26 starters are natural fits. With a balanced starting lineup, the fire in Hafley becomes the identity. Best connection: Jackson (OL), built on a Sun trine. Biggest friction point: Robinson (EDGE), thanks to a Sun square.

Offensive coordinator vs. offenseBobby SlowikHeavy friction

Slowik and his offense are pulling in different directions. Just 4 of 12 starters fit. With a balanced offense, the air in Slowik becomes the identity. Best connection: Bell (WR), built on a Sun conjunction.

Defensive coordinator vs. defenseSean DugganFriction

Duggan has work to do with this defense. Only 5 of 11 starters fit him naturally. Best connection: Sieler (DL), built on a Sun-Moon conjunction.

Hafley and his offensive coordinator, Slowik, are on the same page. The staff chemistry between Hafley and Duggan looks strong. On paper, this is a staff and roster still looking for common ground.

Quarterback chemistry

The starting quarterback with his starting receivers, tight ends, and offensive coordinator.

Mixed Signals

Mixed

Nothing here is a lock either way. The Rabbit and the Goat sit in the same Chinese zodiac triangle, so Willis and Douglas have built-in trust. Now the catch. Air and earth Suns in Willis and Douglas. They'll have to work at it, because their natural rhythms don't match. Willis's Sun may square Douglas's Moon. If so, expect some friction under the surface. The rest comes down to the work.

On the Same Page

Good fit

The stars like this pairing. Two air Suns in Willis and Bell. Natural understanding, same tempo. Two Gemini Suns in Willis and Bell. They understand each other fast, and they share the same blind spots. One more, with an asterisk. Bell's Sun may trine Willis's Moon, a strong sign of comfort if the birth times cooperate. There's a wrinkle. Willis and Bell have Mars in a square. Practice battles get heated, and that's not always a bad thing. Give it reps and it should click.

The stars like this pairing. Two air Suns in Willis and Washington. Natural understanding, same tempo. In the Chinese element cycle, Willis's Earth feeds Washington's Metal. Willis helps Washington grow. One more, with an asterisk. Willis's Sun may sextile Washington's Moon. If the birth times line up, it's an easy, supportive link. Give it reps and it should click.

On the Same Page

Good fit

The stars like this pairing. Willis and Dulcich have Suns in a sextile. Not identical, but complementary, and the chemistry builds with reps. Air and fire: Willis and Dulcich have Suns in complementary elements, and each makes the other a little better. There's more. In the Chinese element cycle, Willis's Earth feeds Dulcich's Metal. Willis helps Dulcich grow. Now the catch. Willis and Dulcich have opposing Mars. Different ways of fighting, and when it works they cover each other's weak side. Give it reps and it should click.

Coach's Kind of Player

Strong fit

Willis is exactly the kind of player Slowik was built to coach. Coach and player are both air Suns. The scheme and the player's style want the same thing. Player and coach are both Gemini Suns. Slowik sees a lot of himself in Willis. There's more. Coach and player were both born in a Rabbit year. Slowik gets what makes Willis tick. One more, with an asterisk. Slowik's Sun may trine Willis's Moon, a strong sign of comfort if the birth times cooperate. A pairing that should only get better.
