| |  | PITTSBURGH: In three years of existence, the Power have yet to achieve a playoff berth or even a winning record. In hopes of changing the franchise's fortunes, the Power front office spent the entire offseason revamping their roster, including a near complete overhaul of both players and coaches. Head coach Derek Stingley brought in Kyle Moore-Brown to coach the offensive line, Leroy Thompson to handle the defensive line, and AFL all-time receiving leader Damian Harrell to work with the receivers. In terms of players, the Power added a great deal of veteran talent on both sides of the ball. They started at quarterback, which has been a position constantly in flux for the Power. The lack of a franchise quarterback has been detrimental to the team sustaining any long term success. They hope to have found their guy in Tommy Grady. The four-year veteran has spent the last three seasons with the Utah Blaze. In 2012, he was named the League MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. The Power also brought in veteran receivers Prechae Rodriguez and Aaron Lesue to help Grady on the perimeter. Rodriguez has hauled in more than 3,200 yards and 73 touchdowns in his two-year AFL career. Lesue and Grady are very familiar with each other from their days in Utah. During Grady's MVP season, Lesue caught 56 touchdown passes. Last season, the Power were last in the League in points scored, a stat very likely to change in 2014. It will be a change for Power fans to be without fan favorites in Mike Washington and PJ Berry; however, the team believes this could be the most talented roster in franchise history. Defense is one area that has never been a concern for Pittsburgh. Defensive back Sergio Gilliam, who led the team in interceptions last season, will be returning and the Power brought in First Team All-Arena defensive back Virgil Gray to team with him. Gray has been to three consecutive ArenaBowls while playing with Arizona and won an ArenaCup alongside Gilliam with the Spokane Shock in 2009. The Power also acquired Mac linebacker James Bryant from New Orleans and defensive end Anthony Hoke from Chicago. This should soften the blows of losing defensive stars Dominie Pittman and Alvin Ray Jackson in the offseason. | | JACKSONVILLE: The Jacksonville Sharks have made plenty of noise since joining the AFL in 2010. The Sharks are the first team in AFL history to win their division each of their first four years in the League. In 2011, they reached the top of the AFL Mountain by winning ArenaBowl XXIV. The past two seasons, the Sharks have been one game away from returning to the championship, only to be stopped by the Philadelphia Soul both times. With the man who led them to ArenaBowl glory three years ago ' quarterback Aaron Garcia ' back in the fold, the Sharks have their eyes set on the top prize once again. However, this time around, their calling card may be on the other side of the ball. Last season, the Sharks boasted had one of the top defenses in the League, ranking first in sacks, fourth in scoring, and fifth in turnover margin. First Team All-Arena defensive back Terrance Smith will be returning to the squad and will receive some help with the addition of the 2012 Defensive Back of the Year, Kent Richardson, who missed all of the 2013 AFL season while playing in the NFL. On offense, Coach Les Moss will be reunited with veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia. Garcia was the first quarterback in the franchise's history and led them to a dramatic ArenaBowl victory in the 2011 season. Garcia will also be reunited with wide receiver Jeron Harvey, who caught the game-winning pass in ArenaBowl XXIV. Harvey is coming off a career year and will look to continue his success with Garcia. Garcia, who enters his AFL-record 19th season, will look for one more championship run before he rides off into the sunset. Coach Moss and his team will likely not only be favored to repeat as South Division champions for the fifth-straight year but will be on plenty of short lists for making representing the American Conference at ArenaBowl XXVII. |
