| |  | PORTLAND: Professional football is returning to Portland in 2014! The newly-minted Portland Thunder will be among the youngest teams in the League, but could be one of the most talented as well. With offensive guru Matthew Sauk at the helm for the Thunder, fans should expect plenty of scoring. Each of the last three AFL MVP winners have been coached by Sauk and Portland fans are hoping former Oregon Ducks quarterback Darron Thomas becomes No. 4. Thomas is a strong-armed dual-threat quarterback who was a very successful college quarterback in Eugene, while his camp competition, Nathan Enderle, was a four-year starter at Idaho and threw for over 10,000 yards during his career. Whoever coach Sauk pegs as his starting quarterback will have talent to throw to on the outside. Just before training camp started, the Thunder made a move with Philadelphia that sent versatile receiver Andrae Thurman to Portland. Last season with the Soul, four-year veteran set career highs in receptions and receiving yards. The team also recently acquired former San Jose Sabercats leading receiver Samora Goodson. Former Spokane Shock wideouts Duane Brooks and Jeffrey Soloman should also play a role in 2014. On the opposite side of the ball, the Thunder will have talent, albeit young, at every level. Starting with the secondary, Portland has three veterans they will rely on. One of those veterans is Eric Crocker, who spent all of last season in the NFL with the New York Jets. The Thunder selected Crocker with the first overall pick in December's Expansion Draft. Portland also picked up Patrick Stoudamire from Spokane and Dwight McLean from New Orleans. Up front, the coaches will have high expectations for talented rookie defensive lineman Donte Paige-Moss, who was a force at the University of North Carolina. Former Arizona Rattlers end Antron Dillon will also be relied on to become a playmaker. With Seattle just less than three hours north of Portland, the Thunder will look to solidify the Pacific Northwest as the new hotbed of pro football. | | ARIZONA: The Arizona Rattlers enter the 2014 season looking to become the first team to achieve an ArenaBowl three-peat since the Detroit Drive (1988-90). The core of Coach Kevin Guy's back-to-back championship squad will be returning, but they will have to fill in some crucial holes. The most significant hole was left by First Team All-Arena defensive back Virgil Gray, who joined the Pittsburgh Power in free agency in September. Gray led the Rattlers in tackles last season while also recording a franchise-record 15 interceptions, not to mention he was named the Riddell Defensive Player of the Game in ArenaBowl XXVI. However, the Rattlers were able to add 2011 Riddell Defensive Player of the Year, Vic Hall, to pick up the slack. Hall recorded 83 solo tackles and seven interceptions as a defensive back for the Chicago Rush a year ago. 'Do-It-All' Hall joins an already stout secondary that includes defensive backs Marquis Floyd and Arkeith Brown, who combined for 17 interceptions and 31 pass defended last season. The Rattlers also brought in some help along the defensive front by trading for defensive end Quinn Pitcock. Pitcock, a former All-American at Ohio State. Pitcock only saw action in one game last year for the Orlando Predators but recorded 4.5 sacks as a rookie with the Predators in 2012. Coach Guy and his squad hope that their additions on defense can help strengthen a group that finished 13th in overall defense last season. On the other side of the ball, Nick Davila and his left arm will serve as the catalyst for the offense. The 'Latin Laser' is coming off his fourth consecutive season of throwing at least 100 touchdowns and is not likely to slow down in 2014. Davila had the luxury of throwing to a group of decorated receivers on the outside including three former Rookies of the Year in Rod Windsor, Maurice Purify and Jared Perry. The Rattlers also have one of the League's most underrated talents in Tysson Poots and the ever-versatile Kerry Reed at their disposal on the perimeter. With three straight ArenaBowl appearances and another talented lineup returning to the field in 2014, Arizona remains the team to beat in the AFL. |
