| |  | SAN ANTONIO: Last year all the pieces fell into place for the Talons. Led by quarterback Aaron Garcia and a dynamic offense, San Antonio bulldozed its way to the top seed in the National Conference. Unfortunately for the Talons, their run came to an early end at the hands of Tommy Grady and the Utah Blaze in the first round of the playoffs. The loss ushered in a rebuilding process for the franchise. The Talons were tasked with replacing Garcia ' who left for the San Jose Sabercats in free agency ' and fixing a defense that ranked near the bottom of the League in 2012. The latter was taken care of very quickly, as San Antonio has added 2012 Riddell Defensive Player of the Year Joe Sykes, as well as fellow defensive lineman Tim McGill and defensive back Andre Jones. Former Orlando Predators defensive back Justin Hannah also joined the squad. The newcomers will mesh with a few standouts from last season's team, including linebackers Jamar Ransom and Victor Degrate and defensive backs Fred Shaw and Chris Crocker. Under the guidance of Head Coach and defensive guru Lee Johnson, it's conceivable that this new and improved lineup could make all the difference in 2013. That is if the offense can hold its own as well. Rookie quarterback GJ Kinne will take over for Garcia behind center. Though he comes to the AFL with an impressive college resume, how quickly he can adjust to the Arena game will be paramount to the Talons postseason hopes. Expect an expanded role for fullback Chad 'Tank' Cook, who will look to get back into All-Arena form by taking some of the pressure off Kinne with a strong running game. Still, it is a passing League and Kinne will need to find some targets. Burl Toler and Robert Quiroga return from last year's squad, taking over for the departed Jason Willis and currently unassigned Jomo Wilson as the team's top receivers. San Antonio also returns veteran Derek Lee and added the elusive Dwayne Eley, Jr., who could prove to be the squad's biggest difference maker. If the Talons offense can build quick chemistry and the defense plays up to its potential, San Antonio could very well be looking at its second division titles in as many seasons. | | ARIZONA: If it weren't for Aaron Garcia's last second heroics in ArenaBowl XXIV, the Arizona Rattlers would be looking at the prospects of a three-peat. When the only key loss from your championship squad is your kicker, chances are you're in pretty good shape. Playing in the League's toughest division did little to slow down Kevin Guy's defending ArenaBowl champion Rattlers' and the team looks to be just as strong coming into this season. ArenaBowl MVP Nick Davila led the team to a 13-5 record and the second-ranked offense in the AFL in 2012. Believe it or not, his receiving corps only got better for 2013. Not only will top targets Maurice Purify, Kerry Reed, Trandon Harvey and Markee White all return to the team, but the squad also added last season's two top rookie receivers in Tysson Poots and NET10 Rookie of the Year Jared Perry. A question mark still remains at fullback, as Odie Armstrong remains unassigned; however, with perhaps the deepest receiving corps in the League, the Rattlers may not be running much anyway. Reigning Offensive Lineman of the Year, Kyle Young, is also a free agent, but Second Team All-Arena center Bill Eisenhardt was acquired to soften the blow of Young's potential departure. Arizona's stingy defense will still be led by an incredibly strong pass rusher that features Cliff Dukes, Anttaj Hawthorne, Marcus Pittman and Tyre Glasper. The secondary is particularly talented as well, with holdovers Arkeith Brown, Marquis Floyd and Virgil Gray all returning to the Desert, while the team also added All-Arena defensive back Jeremy Kellem through free agency. The Rattlers will again have to successfully navigate a Murderer's Row sort of schedule in the West, but with very few holes to fill, Arizona appears to once again be in the driver's seat. Depending on how well they fair within their division, it wouldn't be shocking if we see 2013 end the same way 2012 did; with the Rattlers hoisting the Jim Foster Trophy. |
