KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
UTAH: The Utah Blaze, blessed with one of the most electric attacks in the Arena Football League in 2012, experienced a fair amount of turnover in their receiving corps during the offseason. Tysson Poots, one of the toughest young receivers in the game, bolted to division rival Arizona. Similarly, Alvance Robinson, who posted 1,015 receiving yards in 10 games with the Blaze last season, has been assigned to another ArenaBowl contender in Philadelphia. The Blaze didn't waste time mourning, however, bringing in potent weapons in L.J. Castile, who recorded 1,196 receiving yards for New Orleans last season, and Jared Jenkins, who reeled off 119 receptions for 1,610 yards as a rookie with the Milwaukee Mustangs last year. Castile and Jenkins will join Aaron Lesue ' who more than doubled his touchdown total from 27 in 2011 to 56 last season ' in providing Utah with a three-headed monster at the receiver position. Where it matters most, however, the Blaze have remained stable, with quarterback Tommy Grady coming back after a record-breaking year in Salt Lake City and Ben Stallings, the franchise's all-time leading rusher, returning to Utah for a third year. So long as the Blaze have Tommy 'The Tower' Grady, who accumulated an unbelievable 5,870 passing yards and 142 touchdowns last season, they will be head and shoulders above most defenses in the AFL ' literally and figuratively. On the defensive side of the ball, 'Sack Lake City' took a bit of a hit themselves with the departure of Mike Lewis, who compiled 23 sacks during his two years in Utah. Utah will now rely on Mike Alston to help keep offensive lines from doubling up on Caesar Rayford, who is the franchise record holder with 23.5 career sacks, and Keenan Mace, who flashed All-Arena potential as a rookie nose guard last season. With Mace and Rayford still donning the orange and black, the Blaze should be able to generate an above-average pass rush, which when combined with experienced defensive backs in Al Phillips and Josh Ferguson should lead to poise in their pass defense. Phillips and Ferguson will need to emerge as leaders, however, given that the Blaze have five rookie defensive backs on their roster at the moment, and veteran leader David Hyland remains a free agent. While the spotlight will surely shine on the Blaze as they attempt to wrest West Division supremacy from the Rattlers, attention should also be paid to an emerging rivalry between Utah and Spokane, from which the Blaze took offensive lineman Shannon Tevaga, as well as Alston and Ferguson.
