| | | CLEVELAND: The Cleveland Gladiators will look to find some traction this season in what should be a much more competitive East Division. The Gladiators had one of the best rushing attacks in the League last year thanks in large part to their nimble-footed quarterback Chris Dieker. Dieker ranked fifth in the League in rushing yards in 2013, while the team ranked second overall. Coach Steve Thonn will have to find a replacement for fullback Derik Steiner, who was traded to the San Jose Sabercats in the offseason. Dieker will have his dynamic duo on the perimeter with Dominick Goodman and Thyron Lewis, who combined for 2,697 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns. The pair will have to step up big this year to ignite the offense and help out their quarterback. Defensively, the team should get a boost with the additions of defensive backs Chris LeFlore and Dominic Jones. LeFlore comes from Pittsburgh, where he holds the franchise record for interceptions. Jones returns to Cleveland, where he spent he spent his rookie season in 2012. Last year, Jones recorded 91.5 tackles and was named an All-Arena kick returner. Last season served as a learning curve for a very young Gladiators team which featured 18 rookies. This year, the team's youth should not be a factor as they look to compete for their first division title since 2011. | | SPOKANE: Erik Meyer was the straw that stirred the Spokane Shock's drink in 2013. En route to earning his first AFL MVP award, Meyer led the League in total touchdowns (127), passing efficiency (123.6), completion percentage (68.2%), completions (403), and passing touchdowns (112). Receiver Adron Tennell was on the receiving end of 1,792 of those passing yards while also leading the League in receptions. The Shock also traded for veteran receivers Mike Washington and Hank Edwards. Washington has led the Pittsburgh Power in receiving in all three of his AFL seasons, despite having a multitude of different quarterbacks throwing him the ball. Edwards will look to bring his veteran leadership and playmaking ability to alleviate some of the stress of losing Kamar Jorden to the NFL. Last season, Meyer's heroics helped mask a lot of Spokane's shortcomings especially on defense. Statistically speaking, Spokane had the worst overall defense in the League in 2013 as well as ranking last in pass defense. However, the team cannot rely on Meyer to bail them out if the defense proves to be ineffective. During the offseason, the Shock brought in former player Ruschard Dodd-Masters to coach the defensive backs as well as some rookie secondary talent, most notably Jimmy Williams. Williams was a unanimous All-American at Virginia Tech and was a second round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons. Williams joins veteran defensive back Terrance Sanders, who was the Shock's best corner last season. |
