| | | PHILADELPHIA: The Philadelphia Soul will begin the 2013 season just as they closed out the 2012 season: facing off with the Arizona Rattlers. This time, however, the Soul will be without a few key components of that ArenaBowl XXV squad. Most notably, Clint Dolezel takes over for Doug Plank at head coach for Philadelphia. Dolezel served as the team's offensive coordinator last season, guiding the Soul to the top-ranked scoring offense in the League. The three top performers for that scoring unit ' quarterback Dan Raudabaugh, fullback Derrick Ross and receiver Tiger Jones ' all return for their third seasons with Dolezel. Absent from the Philadelphia lineup, however, will be Donovan Morgan, who was traded to the New Orleans VooDoo over the offseason, and Jeff Hughley, who returned to Jacksonville in free agency. Filling in will be receivers Andrae Thurman and Jackie Chambers. The team also acquired a pair of Robinsons ' Armand and Alvance ' from Kansas City and Utah, respectively. Chambers, an All-Ironman team selection from a year ago, will likely take over the kick return duties, while the other three will look to fill the holes left by Morgan and long-time veteran Larry Brackins, who remains a free agent. On the defensive side of the ball, Second Team All-Arena defensive lineman Bryan Robinson figures to lead the charge again this season. Philadelphia will also return eight-year veteran defensive lineman Dustin Barno and the team's leading tackler, Jack linebacker Joe Goosby. The Soul will be without 2012 Defensive Back of the Year, Kent Richardson, who was placed on Other League Exempt after signing with the Cleveland Browns. Fortunately, Philadelphia retains Rayshaun Kizer, who is averaging 13 interceptions a year in his AFL career. Kizer will lead what Philadelphia fans hope will once again be a very opportunistic secondary. In the kicking game, the team added AFL veteran Carlos Martinez. Though the Soul attempted just one field goal in 2012, the trusty leg of last season's leader in three-point conversions should be a welcome asset. | | IOWA: Perhaps the biggest question Iowa fans are asking right now is WWJD?: What will Jesse do? Jesse Schmidt remains unassigned and rumors have swirled since the end of last season that the Barnstormers perennial All-Arena receiver may call it a career. Should Schmidt not return, the biggest hurdle standing in the way of Iowa's first postseason berth in more than a decade is whether quarterback J.J. Raterink can find a favorite target to replace one of the all-time greats. Marco Thomas would seem to be a top candidate, as he flew under the radar with a 138-reception, 1,523-yard season in Schmidt's shadow last year. Receivers Collin Taylor and Darius Reynolds will also be back in 2013. However, it's the defensive side of the ball where the Barnstormers figure to make their biggest improvements. Iowa should be particularly strong on the defensive line, where Mike Lewis and Rodney Gnat join forces. Lewis began his career in Iowa, before serving as an All-Arena defensive lineman with the Utah Blaze for the past two seasons. Fresh off a 12.5-sack season, Lewis should provide star power to a line that already featured Gnat, who as a rookie in 2012, was named a captain right out of training camp and backed up the billing with a team-high five sacks during the regular season. Jack linebacker John Mohring proved to be a quality starter in his first year with the team in 2012 as well, totaling 45 tackles and scoring touchdowns off an interception, fumble recovery and kick return last season. Defensive back Jason Simpson, coming off a 10-pick season, should ensure that the Barnstormers remain strong in the secondary. He has posted 100-plus tackles in each of the past two seasons. Filling in the rest of the secondary will be a tough task. Though Ter'Ran Benton was certainly promising last year in limited appearances, the defection of leading-tackler Cameron McGlenn to Spokane in the offseason will be the most difficult hole to fill defensively. Kicking, however, will not be an issue, as the team brought in veteran Chris Gould, who made nine of 10 field goal attempts last season with the Arizona Rattlers. |
