Pre-Season Preview

          The AFL’s most storied franchise, the Tampa Bay Storm, is set to right their ship and return to the playoffs after missing the playoffs in 2008.  That was only the second time in franchise history the team missed the playoffs in 22 seasons (18 Tampa Bay, 4 Pittsburgh).  The 2010 team currently has 11 players returning from the 2008 final roster.

Returnees:

OL Emmanuel Akah (Winston Salem St.), DB Daryon Brutley (Northern Iowa), QB Brett Dietz (Hanover), DL Cliff Dukes (Michigan State), WR Hank Edwards (Texas Southern), DB Byron Jones (Texas A&M), OL Tom Kaleita (Eastern Michigan), DB Reggie Lewis (Florida), DL Tim McGill (Illinois), LB Terrence Royal (South Florida), WR Tyrone Timmons (Mississippi Valley State)

Departures:

On defense - DB Jeroid Johnson (Oklahoma State), DB Tracho Rachal Texas A&M-Commerce), DB Rayshun Reed (Troy), DL Tom Briggs (West Virginia), DL Ernest Certain (FAMU), LB Torrance Marshall (Oklahoma), LB Nyle Wiren (Kansas State)

On offense – OL Damion Cook (Bethune-Cookman), OL Geir Gudmundsen (Albany State), OL Kenyatta Jones (South Florida), K Seth Marler (Tulane), FB Phil Glover (Utah), QB Stoney Case (New Mexico), WR Henry Douglas (North Carolina A&T), WR Sedrick Robinson (Kentucky Wesleyan), WR Terrill Shaw (Southern Miss)

Acquisitions:

On defense – DB Brandon Hefflin (Toledo), Anthony Ivy (UT-Martin), DB James McCoy (North Carolina A&T), DL Alfred Peterson (Rutgers), DL Jermaine Smith (Georgia), LB James Bear (Western Kentucky), LB Cole Mason (West Alabama), LB Eric Ortiz (Belhaven University)

On offense –  FB Chad Cook (Murray State), K Garret Rivas (Michigan), OL Dennis Conley (Hampton), OL Cornelius Fuamatu (Nebraska), OL Robert Powell (Purdue), QB BJ Hall (Webber), WR Reggie Gray (Western Illinois), WR Frantz Hardy (Nebraska), WR Paul Raymond (Brown), WR John Roberson (Texas A&M), WR Talon Saint-Michaels (Navy), WR DeAngelo Woodie (None)

AFL Hall-of-Fame Head Coach and General Manager Tim Marcum was active in the off-season collecting a mixture of veteran experience and youthful energy.  He wasted no time building a strong collection of skill players. He brought in veteran leadership on defense with Jermaine Smith on the defensive line and Brandon Hefflin in the defensive backfield as well as young invigorated legs at the wide out position with Paul Raymond and Frantz Hardy. 

At the wide receiver position Tampa Bay is full of youth.  The battle during training camp for a roster spot at this position will be fierce.  Other AFL teams will wait in the wings to come in and scoop up whoever does not make the 24-man roster.

The offensive line will be BIG as it is anchored by Akah (6-3, 330) and Kaleita (6-6, 325) look for Fuamatu and Powell to battle for the starting center postion.  They will need to play well to protect returning starting quarterback and 2007 AFL Rookie of the Year Brett Dietz.  Local high school product BJ Hall was brought into back up Dietz.

At wide out two standouts return, Hank Edwards and Tyrone Timmons.  Edwards finished the previous season second in the AFL in yards per catch (15.9) and tallied 85 receptions for 1,348 yards with 30 touchdowns. Timmons stepped for an injured Terrill Shaw at the send of the 2008 season and scored 13 touchdowns on 23 receptions in five games.

Torrance Marshall’s production will be missed at the fullback/linebacker spot as James Bear, Chad Cook, Cole Mason and Eric Ortiz will battle to fill in his role.

On the defensive side of the ball, finalist for 2008 AFL Defensive Player of the Year, Tim McGill returns to lead an experienced line with the addition of Jermaine Smith and expected return of Kelvin Kinney.  Conversely, new faces will man the defensive backfield with the departure of Rachal, Reed and Johnson.  Hefflin joins the team to stabilize the position while returning defensive backs Brutley, Jones and Lewis have an opportunity to grab a starting spot in camp.

The Storm kickoff the 2010 season on Saturday, April 3 when they invade Tulsa and take on the Talons.  The Storm return home to the confines of the St. Pete Times Forum for its home opener Friday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m.  Season Tickets start as low as $50!

TAMPA BAY – Sitting at the large mahogany desk in his spacious, ground floor office at the St. Pete Times Forum, Head Coach and General Manager Tim Marcum’s eyes are glued to his computer screen. A highlight reel of a recent open tryout player, Frantz Hardy, plays via YouTube on his monitor.

   “Regardless of who you are, you are looking for splash plays,” Marcum explained. “A guy goes through a block and boom, he makes a big tackle. On defense, with a deep ball, the player finds the ball and intercepts it. Plays like that. Being able to hit, move, being a little faster and a little stronger than the guy. That’s what you’re looking for.”

   The office walls are draped with white boards, an idea he got from a visit with the Green Bay Packers years before. The wall to the right of his desk is filled with tallies aside player’s names. Each tally represents a splash play. Another wall lists the Storm’s current roster, beside that is a long list of prospects and free agents.

    Marcum, the winningest head coach in Arena Football history, watches hours of game film a day, hunting for players to fill the team’s 35-man roster come training camp on March 14. The roster will be cut to just 23 men with the onset of the regular season on April 3. When the Arena Football League took a yearlong hiatus in 2009, Marcum’s team was back at square one.

    “The first thing we did was go back to the players that were on our roster in 2008 and were going to return in 2009. We asked a number of players if they wanted to play football. We have 11 of those players to this date. That gave us a real good jump-start.” Marcum said.

     The list of returning players included star quarterback Brett Dietz. Dietz, who is entering his third season in the AFL, started every game for the Storm in 2008. His scorching numbers translated to becoming the fastest quarterback in AFL history to reach 4,000 career-passing yards and tying for the fastest quarterback to reach 80-career touchdown passes.

     “We mutually talked several times when there was rumor of the league coming back,” Dietz said. “It was clear that he wanted me to be a part of the team and I wanted to be there as well.”

      The comeback of Dietz panned out to be more influential than Marcum expected. Immediately, Dietz worked the phone lines.

    “I made some calls and talked to some guys around the league,” Dietz said.

    “I was really trying to talk to some of the guys that we had because I knew we had a good team. I talked to Hank [Edwards] and Tyrone [Timmons] to let them know we were coming back. Not only did the coaches want them but also I wanted them on the team. I let them know that I was coming back as well so if they were thinking about coming back. If they were thinking of going somewhere else, I let them know that we had already built a relationship and had that receiver-quarterback connection.”

     With Dietz’s help, Marcum successfully re-signed both Edwards and Timmons, two young, electric wide outs. Edwards finished his sophomore season in 2008 second in the AFL in yards per catch. Timmons, who is entering his second season in the league, was named the Tampa Bay Storm’s Rookie of the Year in 2008.

     “After resigning those guys, we looked at some of the other players from around the league that we played against. For instance, Jermaine Smith and Brandon Hefflin, some of those guys that really were a pain in our butts that we want to be a pain in someone else’s butts.” Marcum said.

        Smith, a seasoned veteran for the Georgia Force, ranks 13^th all-time in the AFL in sacks. Hefflin was a force for the Cleveland Gladiators on defense during the 2008 season earning several Defensive Player of the Week honors. Both players signed contracts with the Storm for the 2010 season.

     After securing the initial players on the roster, Director of Player Personnel Dave Ewart looks for leads. 

     “Friends,” Ewart said, “In this business it’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know. That helps. It helps get players through agents. We are fortunate enough to be in Florida. We have a good name around the Tampa area; it is an ideal place to recruit. Last time I checked I think about every college comes down here looking for players. We try to focus on the area.”

      The focus in the area translated to the team’s open tryout on February 20 at Skyway Park in Tampa, FL. The team signed two and is looking into adding another for training camp.

     Ewart is entering his 15^th season in the AFL while Marcum is entering his 21^st season as a head coach in the league. In 1990, Marcum joined Steve Spurrier at Florida as a linebacker coach. Marcum also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. It’s safe to say that both coaches have “friends” in the business for help with leads.

    “The theme that we usually build our team on is looking for a kid that has played in the NFL who may be a ‘cap-casualty.’ In other words, he has five or six years and they have to pay him an X number of dollars. That’s one avenue.”  Marcum said.

    “We are looking at other leagues now,” Ewart said, “more so than what we looked for in the past. We used to be able to get more of the NFL ‘cap-casualties.’ Back then we were dealing mainly with ‘cap casualties.’ They reached a certain point to where they were either going to make a lot of money or make a decision on a young kid. We were able to attract those types of guys. Now, with the AFL’s lower pay scale you aren’t going to attract a guy that has played in the NFL for three years unless he is in your back yard. So, you look at the AIFA, the indoor leagues. We had a couple of guys that went through our tryouts and were in those leagues.”

     Once the 35-man roster is set the players and coaches prepare for Training Camp on March 14.

     “The Monday before the first game we will cut the roster to 23. I think we will rely heavily on the practices and practice tape leading up to the first game week. We’ll go back, look at it and determine what is good or bad about it. We have an exhibition game against Orlando and we’ll take a good look at that. We already know what some of these kids can do. Tyrone Timmons, Hank Edwards, those guys we know. We watched them play for years. We are looking at those young kids and the guys that haven’t been here. We’re seeing if they flash. If they flash, we will give them a chance to help us win.” Marcum said.

     There is still constant evaluation once the roster is narrowed down to 23 men during the regular season.

     “Something we try to do is bring guys in for two days.” Ewart explained.

    “There will always be a tryout going on. There will always be a couple of guys in here trying out whether we need it or not just for the use of legs and bodies in practice.”

    “We’ll bring them in on our two hard practice days, whatever that may be on our schedule, usually Tuesday or Wednesday or Wednesday or Thursday. They will just go right into practicing with the team, which is easier for us. That’s a good advantage that we have that the NFL doesn’t. The guys that come in to tryout with the NFL really don’t do anything [with pads]. They usually just run, lift and do some drills. We are able to put them in pads and put them in a team drill. You put up a guy against one of our starters to see how they match up. That’s helped us over the years because you have so many guys.”

      The Storm kickoff the 2010 season on Saturday, April 3 when they invade Tulsa and take on the Talons.  The Storm return home to the confines of the St. Pete Times Forum for its home opener Friday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m.  Season Tickets start as low as $50!

“Arena Rock!” Promotion features Tampa Bay Storm Wide Receiver T. Saint-Michaels

LOS ANGELES, MAR 4th –  For those sports-fans that haven’t been paying attention these last few weeks… the Arena Football League is back!  With a vengeance!  And in pretty heady company…

In a pure 21st century strategy… the AFL and NFL Network (their Official broadcast partner) have embarked on a digital-media advertising blitz entitled “Arena Rock!” that features Tampa Bay Storm wide-receiver T. Saint-Michaels, and highlights NFL Network coverage of the Friday Night AFL “Game of the Week”.

The Arena Rock campaign is being delivered (heavily) in almost every major US market, and consists of streaming (radio) audio advertising, online and mobile-phone ad banners (on I-Phone, Blackberry, and Android) as well as branded station sponsorships.  Slacker Digital Radio was chosen as the initial kick-off partner, primarily due to their exclusive partnership with Verizon Wireless and industry-leading audience volume and interface capabilities.

“The choice of Saint-Michaels and the Tampa Bay Storm as the face of the new campaign was based on “a nearly-universal” understanding of the excitement and energy he brings to the game, and to our fans all over the country…”  says AFL Commissioner Jerry Kurz.

Tampa Bay Storm Head Coach Tim Marcum, now in his 14th season with the Storm and easily recognized as the most successful coach in Arena Football history… also has glowing praise for his new wide-receiver… “Saint-Michaels’ extraordinary athleticism, strength and speed will be a powerful weapon in our game plan, both on the ground and in the air.  We’re anxious to get him on the field.”

The Storm organization is recognized as one of the leading teams in the Arena Football League, setting numerous attendance records in its 23-year history. The team also won World Championships in 1991, 1993, 1995, 1996 and 2003, winning the last Championship in front of a sell-out crowd of 20,496 at the St. Pete Times Forum.

The AFL will premiere its 2010 regular season on NFL Network with a live, primetime telecast on Friday, April 2 at 8 p.m. ET, and “Arena Rock!” telecasts are scheduled for Friday nights in primetime throughout the AFL’s 18-game regular season… culminating with the 2010 ArenaBowl Championship during the weekend of Aug. 20-23.

All AFL games on NFL Network will be telecast in high definition and feature specialized in-game audio techniques that capture the fast-paced intensity that is the hallmark of the AFL’s “50-Yard Indoor War.”

The AFL’s 15-team league includes the Chicago Rush, Dallas Vigilantes, Tampa Bay Storm, Orlando Predators, Arizona Rattlers (Phoenix), Cleveland Gladiators, Utah Blaze (Salt Lake City) and the new Jacksonville Sharks, Alabama Vipers (Huntsville), Bossier-City/Shreveport Battlewings, Iowa Barnstormers, Milwaukee Iron, Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz, Spokane Shock and Tulsa Talons.

TAMPA, FL – When the Tampa Bay Storm announced they would be having an open tryout on Saturday, February 20, the childhood dreams of becoming a professional football player for many were revived.  Over 120 people waited in line on Saturday morning for the small chance of getting an invite to training camp on March 14. Fans, parents, scouts, coaches from arena leagues throughout the nation and current Storm players were in attendance to catch a glimpse of the talent in the Tampa Bay area. Some parents held cameras and camcorders to document their son’s attempt to join the Arena Football League.

“It might have been one of our best tryouts as far as talent level,” Head Coach Tim Marcum said. “It looks like we are going to sign at least two or maybe three of the guys. We are looking at two of the receivers and a defensive back.”

The tryout was lead by Marcum and Dave Ewart, Director of Player Personnel. After a brief warm-up, players were separated into three groups. They were tested on the 40-yard dash, short shuttle run, broad jump and a line drill. After their times were recorded, the players were given a chance to display their skills. The athletes were grouped by position and ran through drills. Following drills, wide receivers, defensive backs and quarterbacks participated in a one-on-one session. Receivers battled defensive backs to prove their skills.

The tryout was held on a field turf field at Skyway Park in Tampa, FL. The Storm play on an artificial turf in the St. Pete Times Forum, a surface which is a bit faster than field turf.

“I think the field is a little slower than the turf inside the arena. It’s softer. The rubber underneath the field makes it a bit slower but it’s still a faster surface than grass.”

Still, many participants posted impressive 40-yard dash and shuttle run times. 11 potential players clocked times less than 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash, the fastest time being 4.33 seconds by Ovie Esalomi. Esalomi, a former Gather High School graduate, played college ball at New Mexico Military Institute and Southwestern Oklahoma State University.

Some players looked to revamp their AFL career after play was suspended last year. Rob Theoudele, a former University of Connecticut wide receiver, optioned to play the 2009 season for the af2’s Green Bay Blizzard during the AFL’s year-long hiatus. Theoudele, who trains with roommate and Buccaneers wide receiver Maurice Stovall, posted the second best 20-yard shuttle run time of 4.16 seconds.

“I’m happy about my time,” said Theoudele, “There was a lot of good talent out there. I had a little head start in front of some of the guys because I did play arena football last year. I think that helped me out a lot. For a lot of the players out there, it is their first experience with arena football. I was in their position before though. “

Other notable players in attendance included J.R. Russell.  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Russell, a former Louisville wide receiver, in 2005. The former Gaither High School football and basketball standout competed for a roster spot for the 2006 season against former Pro Bowler David Boston and rookie Maurice Stovall.  Before the season began, Russell was released.

The Tampa Bay Storm will kick off the 2010 season against the Tulsa Talons on Saturday, April 3 in Tulsa. Training camp opens March 14.

TAMPA BAY – The Five-Time World Champion Tampa Bay Storm will appear on the NFL Network Arena Football Game of the Week five times during the 2010 AFL season, announced Head Coach and General Manager Tim Marcum.

“We are excited to be able to partner with the NFL Network,” said Marcum.  “The Network specializes in football and will provide our League an audience of die-hard football fans who watch football year-round.”

Tampa Bay will host three games on the NFL Network; May 7 versus the Jacksonville Sharks, June 25 against the Bossier-Shreveport BattleWings and the Chicago Rush on June 2.  Additionally, two Storm road contests will be aired; May 28 versus the Orlando Predators and July 9 against the Dallas Vigilantes.

“We embrace football at all levels,” said Charles Coplin, vice president of programming for the NFL. “This spring schedule gives us a weekly live game featuring some players who may eventually play in the NFL.”

The AFL Game of the Week will be aired live on Friday nights from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET beginning April 2 through the league’s championship game in late August. The AFL game on April 23 will be pre-empted by the network’s draft coverage and moved to Sunday, April 25 at 8 p.m.

With Tampa Bay prominently featured on the NFL Network, some adjustments to the Storm schedule were made.  The updated 2010 Storm schedule and AFL National Broadcast Schedule are attached below.
