OVERVIEW: The SaberCats enter their 10th season in the Arena Football League and in the 18-year history of the AFL only four teams have been located in the same city for a longer period of time. Currently the Orlando Predators and Tampa Bay Storm are entering their 14th seasons in the league while the Arizona Ratters are beginning their 13th season. The Albany Firebirds were around for 11 seasons before moving to Indianapolis in 2001...With 12 wins last season the SaberCats stretched their streak of double-digit win seasons to four, the longest current streak in the league. Arizona holds the league record with five consecutive seasons (1996-00) of double-digit victories...After snapping San Jose's 18-game home winning streak last season with a 45-42 win, Detroit is the only team the SaberCats have faced under head coach Darren Arbet that they have not beaten...The SaberCats have won five straight season opening games and own a 5-4 record in their previous nine season openers...San Jose is also 5-4 in season opening games on the road and have won the last three. Thursday's game at Detroit marks the second straight season the SaberCats have opened on the road, they beat Arizona, 49-28, on opening day 2003.

THE SERIES: The Fury snapped San Jose's 18-game home winning streak and held the SaberCats to their lowest point total in nearly two years with a 45-42 win on April 11, 2003. Detroit leads the series 1-0 and the teams will be playing in Detroit for the first time.

WHAT'S AHEAD – Following the SaberCats opener in Detroit on Feb. 5, the team has 16 days off before playing again at Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 22. That game marks the SaberCats first appearance on NBC in the 2004 season. San Jose opens the home portion of its schedule on Saturday, Feb. 8 when the Grand Rapids Rampage visit HP Pavilion. The SaberCats have never lost to the Rampage in five previous meetings.

SERIES NOTABLES: San Jose's point total in its 45-42 loss to Detroit on April 11, 2003, is the second lowest output in offensive coordinator Terry Malley's tenure. The SaberCats tallied 35 points in a loss to Orlando on May 26, 2001 and also scored 42 points in a semifinal playoff loss to Nashville on August 12, 2000. Malley took over as the team's offensive coordinator on June 18, 1999 and since the team has played 73 games (regular and post season)...Clevan Thomas, the two-time AFL ‘ADT' Defensive Player of the Year, missed last year's game with turf toe and veteran Fury QB Andy Kelly took advantage by completing 26 passes for 243 yards and six TDs...Detroit broke San Jose's 14-game regular season home win streak with its win last season, stopping the SaberCats five home victories shy of the league record held by Orlando at 19.

LAST SERIES MEETING: Andy Kelly threw six touchdown passes and the Detroit Fury held on to beat San Jose, 45-42, snapping the SaberCats' 18-game home win streak with a 45-42 win. Kelly gave Detroit the lead for good early in the fourth quarter when he tossed a 13-yard scoring pass to Thomas Bailey for a 42-35 lead.
For the game Kelly completed 26 of 45 attempts for 243 yards and no interceptions. San Jose opened the scoring on the game's first offensive play when Mark Grieb threw a 37-yard scoring pass to James Hundon just 69 seconds into the game. Following a missed Detroit field goal, Grieb connected with James Roe on a 7-yard scoring play for a 14-0 San Jose lead with 4:09 left in the first quarter. Grieb completed 18 of 28 for 277 yards and four scores on the night. Roe hauled in a game-high nine catches for 151 yards and three touchdowns. Detroit scored three consecutive touchdowns over the second and third quarters to build a 35-28 lead. Kelly's 3-yard scoring toss to Jason Kaiser at the end of the half got the Fury within 28-23 at the break. The Fury took the second half kickoff and grabbed its first lead of the game when Kelly connected with Kelly Snell on a 10-yard scoring pass for a 29-28 Detroit lead. A fumble by James
Williams on San Jose's next possession turned into six more points when Kelly found Marcus Nash from 20-yards out to increase Detroit's margin to 35-28.
Following a Nick Gatto 36-yard field goal that gave Detroit a 45-35 lead, Roe scored his third touchdown of the game on a 19-yard pass from Grieb to slice San Jose's deficit to three points with 32 seconds left. San Jose failed to recover the on-sides kick and Detroit ran out the clock to win its third straight road game. The SaberCats suffered their first home loss since May 26, 2001 when Orlando beat them 59-35. It was also the fewest points scored in a game since the same contest.

THE COACHES:
San Jose – Darren Arbet, 6th season
53-19 (.736) reg. season; 59-22 (.728) overall
0-1 (.000) career vs. Detroit
Now in his sixth season at the helm of the SaberCats, Darren Arbet owns the second highest regular season winning percentage (.736) in league history among coaches with at least 20 victories and his 59 career wins rank him 8th in league annals. Named AFL Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2002, Arbet has guided the SaberCats to four straight double-digit win seasons – the longest current streak in league history – and his teams have compiled a 47-11 (.810) regular season record since the start of the 2000 campaign. Under his direction the SaberCats have set league records for most regular season wins (13 – 2002), most wins in a season (16- 2002), most consecutive wins in a regular season (12 – 2002), most wins to end a season (11 – 2000) and the longest regular season win streak (15 – 2000-01). Of all the teams Arbet has faced, Detroit is the only team the SaberCats have not beaten.

Detroit – Tom Luginbill, 1st season
0-0 reg. season and overall
0-0 career vs. San Jose
Tom Luginbill gets his first head coaching gig in the AFL after serving as an assistant to his father, Al, in Detroit last season. That also marked the first time AFL history that a father/son coaching tandem was on the field. The roles are reversed this season as Al will be an assistant to his son. Luginbill joined the Fury from the Dallas Desperados where he was the offensive coordinator in 2002. Luginbill was a head coach in af2 with the Tennessee Valley Vipers in 2000 leading his club to a 10-6 record and a berth in the ArenaCup title game. Luginbill also coached with his father in the XFL with league champion Los Angeles in 2001. A former QB in the AFL with Texas (1996) and Florida (1997), the younger Luginbill began his coaching coaching career with the New York CityHawks in 1998 before moving to Nashville the following season.

RECENT RESULTS: The SaberCats used five rushing touchdowns and their full compliment of training camp players to defeat the expansion Philadelphia Soul in a closed scrimmage on Jan. 21 in San Jose. San Jose built its biggest lead of the scrimmage at 34-14 with a 9-yard TD pass from Nick Rolovich to Calvin Schexnayder. Philadelphia scored a pair of defensive TDs, one on a fumble return and the other on an interception return, to make the final score 44-36 respectable. Starting QB Mark Grieb was a perfect 4-for-4 for 49 yards guiding the offense on its first two offensive possessions, both of which resulted in touchdowns. Schexnayder, trying to make a comeback after not playing last season, led all receivers with four catches for 40 yards. The SaberCats, who led the league in rushing last season, amassed 33 yards on the ground with five different players reaching the endzone. Matt Kinsinger's 1-yard plunge midway through the first quarter gave the SaberCats the early advantage. San Jose added TD runs by Barry Wagner, Rashied Davis and Tupo Tuupo in the second quarter to take a 27-14 lead at the break. Kevin Buck led the SaberCats with 16 rush yards on three carries and backup QB Rolovich completed 9-of-16 for 129 yards with a TD and an interception.

ABOUT THE OPPONENT: After winning just one game during the 2002 season, the Fury made the biggest turnaround in league history by going 8-8 and qualifying for the playoffs last season...The Fury has never won a season opener going 0-3 in its history, however, the team has won two of three season opening games at home.

ROSTER MOVES: The SaberCats set their opening day roster by releasing six players and placing six others on injured reserve. Veterans Jerry Reese and Shalon Baker were the two most notable players cut from the squad. Former San Jose State standout Charles Pauley was also released from the roster.

INJURY REPORT: Six players were placed on injured reserve to start the 2004 campaign. League rules stipulate that players on IR must be inactive for two weeks. All players are eligible to be activated to the roster in time for San Jose's Feb. 22 game at L.A.

2003 SEASON IN REVIEW:
REGULAR SEASON - After starting the season with a 1-2 record, the SaberCats won 11 of their next 13 games to claim the No. 1 playoff seed for a second consecutive season and claim their fourth straight Western Division title. San Jose re-lived the memory of its ArenaBowl XVI victory by silencing a sellout America West Arena crowd in the season opening re-match of the 2002 title game. San Jose used a balanced attack to defeat the Rattlers, 49-28. The SaberCats suffered a pair of heart-breaking defeats the next two weeks. Los Angeles used a last-second touchdown run and a two-point conversion pass from Tony Graziani to Greg Hopkins to eke out a 73-72 win. The following week, Georgia's James Brown tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Darryl Hammond with no time left as the Force won 51-49. Had those games ended a few seconds sooner, San Jose would be undefeated. As
it was the SaberCats were reeling with a 1-2 start. Playing its first game at HP Pavilion in Week 4 of the season, San Jose enjoyed some home cooking and
took advantage of six turnovers to dispatch the expansion Crush 80-40. The SaberCats intercepted former teammate and ArenaBowl XVI MVP John Dutton four times in his first game in San Jose since leading them to the league title in 2002. Back on the road for two more games, the SaberCats used a 30-0 run over the
second and third quarters to erase an early 10-7 deficit and cruised to a 72-37 win over the Las Vegas Gladiators. Two defensive touchdowns supported the
effort. San Jose improved to 4-2 and ended a grueling stretch of five of its first six games on the road with a 71-49 win at Chicago. Aaron Bailey made his season debut and set a SaberCats game record with four rushing scores and added a fifth on a 47-yard pass reception to fuel the offense. OL/DL Sam Hernandez made league history by becoming the first player with 50 career sacks. James Roe caught five TD passes and Clevan Thomas returned two kickoffs for scores and set a league record with an interception in his seventh straight game as the
SaberCats began a three-game homestand with a 58-41 win over Buffalo to improve to 5-2. With their two losses coming in the final seconds by a combined total
of three points, it was time for the SaberCats to turn the tables. James Roe made a circus catch in the endzone with no time left and Daron Alcorn provided the PAT to give San Jose a 59-58 win over Arizona. The SaberCats continued to roll using three Barry Wagner rush TDs and a league record six overall in a 62-40 win over Carolina. San Jose came out lethargic against the winless Cobras
and fell behind 20-7 after the first quarter. But a 55-yard kickoff return score by Clevan Thomas sparked the SaberCats to a 55-20 scoring spree over the final three quarters for the team's 18th consecutive home win. Another last second loss, this one at the hands of the Dallas Desperados on a 1-yard TD run with 23 seconds to play, ended the SaberCats' six-game win streak and dropped them to 7-3, a game behind Los Angeles in the Western Division. San Jose suffered its second 2-game losing skid of the year when they were defeated, 45-42, by Detroit in Week 11 ending their 18-game home win streak. Playing their second straight game without DS Clevan Thomas, the SaberCats out-slugged Indiana,
73-71, to get back on the winning track. Mark Grieb completed 25-of-30 attempts with six TDs, three in the fourth quarter, but it was a 52-yard kickoff return
touchdown by Kevin McKenzie that supplied San Jose with the difference. A late score by the Firebirds got them within two points but they failed on the potential game-tying two-point conversion attempt. A convincing 65-49 win at Colorado in Week 13 brought San Jose's record to 9-4. Week 14 pitted the past two ArenaBowl champs in what was a classic duel. A Grieb-to-James Roe scoring pass with four seconds left in the game pulled San Jose within a point, then Grieb faked a handoff and bootlegged into the endzone for the game-winning two-point conversion in a 56-55 win over Grand Rapids. Facing the top team in the league in Week 15, the SaberCats secured their spot on top of the league standings
with a 47-34 win at Tampa Bay. San Jose entered the final contest tied with Los Angeles, Orlando and Tampa Bay for the best record in the league at 11-4.
The SaberCats stymied the high-powered Los Angeles Avengers' offense in a 47-43 win, intercepting Tony Graziani four times to secure the top seed and a fourth
straight division title.

PLAYOFFS – The SaberCats won their fourth straight playoff game and began defense of their league title with a convincing 69-48 win over Georgia, avenging an early season loss to the Force. Kevin McKenzie, who scored just four TDs during the season, exploded for a record six tallies in the win. Mark Grieb was efficient completing 18-of-23 passes for 318 yards and four TDs. Making their fourth straight trip to the semifinals, the SaberCats hosted Arizona, a team they had defeated three straight times. It wasn't to be for San Jose as the Rattlers defeated the SaberCats, 66-49, behind eight TD passes from Sherdrick Bonner. Arizona's Randy Gatewood was a one-man wrecking crew as he caught 12 passes for 227 yards and five TDs. He also intercepted a Grieb offering. Arizona got a bit of revenge as they defeated San Jose on the same field that the SaberCats inflicted the worst beating in ArenaBowl history with a win over the Rattlers in 2002.

TRENDS:
OPENERS – The SaberCats have never lost a season opening game under head coach Darren Arbet going 5-0 with him at the helm. Overall the SaberCats are 5-4 in season openers. This game marks the second straight season the SaberCats open on the road and the fourth time in team history. San Jose won at Arizona to open the 2003 season and posted its first-ever season opening win in Arbet's head coaching debut at Grand Rapids on April 24, 1999. San Jose is 2-1 all-time in road openers having lost at Nashville to start the 1997 campaign.

ROAD WARRIORS – Over the past four seasons the SaberCats have posted a 21-8 (.724) record in regular season road games. San Jose went 6-1 in the road in both 2000 and 2002, had a 4-3 record in 2001 and went 5-3 last season.

UP YOUR AVERAGE – In the history of the AFL just five teams have averaged over 60 ppg in a season and the SaberCats are the only team to do it more than once. In fact, the SaberCats have turned the trick in each of the last two seasons and three times overall. San Jose led the league last season with an average of 60.4 and topped the circuit in 2002 with a 62.7 ppg average. San Jose eclipsed the 60 point mark for the first time during the 2000 season with an average of 62.2 ppg.

JUST WIN – In 49 career regular season starts as a member of the SaberCats, quarterback Mark Grieb owns a 41-8 (.837) record.

TURNOVERS – The SaberCats placed 2nd in the AFL last season with a +15 turnover margin and over the past four seasons they have compiled a +56 margin. San Jose led the league at +19 in 2000 and tied for the lead at +14 in 2002. The last time the SaberCats did not have a positive margin was in 1999 when they finished with a margin of -9. The team also finished that season with a 6-8 record.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS – San Jose's four regular season losses last season came by a total of nine points and the club has not lost a regular season game by more than seven points since suffering a 59-35 loss to Orlando on May 26, 2001. Since that 24-point setback to Orlando, the SaberCats have lost just seven regular season games with their 59-52 loss at Arizona, that ruined the team's chance at a perfect season, being the worst. The SaberCats have endured four 3-point losses, a 2-point defeat and lost by 1 point at Los Angeles last year.

NOTES:
ROSTER MAKE UP – The 2004 opening day roster has 16 players who played for the team last year and 15 players who were with the team during the 2002 championship season. This year's squad has a veteran look as five players possess eight or more years of AFL experience. That group is led by the legendary Barry Wagner, who enters his 13th season in the league. Sam Hernandez, the leagues all-time leader in sacks, has 11 years of service while Chuck Reed, Joe Jacobs and Calvin Schexnayder each have eight years under their belts. The roster also has five rookie or first-year players on it.

CLEVAN THE MAN – Two-time Defensive Player of the Year Clevan Thomas returns for his third season with the SaberCats and is in line to become the team's career leader in interceptions. Thomas, who set an AFL record with 13 picks last season, also had more INTs than four teams (CAR-9, COL-10; DAL-11; DET-12). Thomas enters the year with 18 career INTs, six behind Pat McGuirk's team record of 24.



OMARR IS BACK – A key component in San Jose's 2002 title run was WR/DB Omarr Smith. Smith signed with Tampa Bay prior to the 2003 season and won his second straight title with the Storm, becoming just the third player in league history to win consecutive titles with two different clubs. Smith had a career year with the Storm setting career highs in tackles (88.5), INTs (8) and pass breakups (18) while starting all 16 regular season games at DS. Smith was named second-team All-AFL defensive specialist and finished second to Clevan Thomas in league Defensive Player of the Year voting.

RETURN OF THE SHAKES – Calvin Schexnayder, the AFL's Offensive MVP in 1998 while with Arizona, is attempting a comeback after not playing last season. Shakes, as he is known, is still Arizona's all-time TD receptions leader with 158 and ranks second in receptions (528) and receiving yards (7,498). "He is a first-year guy to us, but we've seen the back of his jersey plenty of times over the years," joked SaberCats' offensive coordinator Terry Malley. Shakes had a career-high 16 catches on May 24, 1997 against San Jose and set a SaberCats opponent record with 216 receiving yards on June 6, 1998 while with Arizona. His 1,982 receiving yards in 1998 remains a league record.
CENTER OF ATTENTION – With the loss of Darrin Kenney, who voluntarily left the team during training camp, the job of snapping the football falls on Frank Beede and Dan Loney. Beede, who spent five seasons in the NFL with the Seahawks, has played 14 games over the last two seasons while Loney has appeared in 16 games in two years. Kenney had started every game at center since joining the team for the 2001 season.

WINNING TRADITION – After setting a league record for most regular season wins in 2002 with 13, the SaberCats once again topped the AFL with 12 victories last season. San Jose has posted a double-digit regular season win total in each of the last four years – the longest current streak in league history and the second longest ever. Arizona had five straight double-digit win seasons from 1996-00. Since the start of the 2000 season the SaberCats own a league-best 47-11 regular season record. Arizona (41) is the only other team to exceed 40 wins in the same time frame. Below is a look at the records of teams in the past four seasons.

THE MALLEY FACTOR – Since taking over as the SaberCats' offensive coordinator with six games remaining in the 1999 season, Terry Malley has had the headset on for 64 regular season games. In those games the SaberCats have scored 3,858 points for an average of 60.3 ppg. The team has averaged over 60 ppg in three of his four full seasons, no other team in league history has averaged over 60 ppg more than once, and the SaberCats have posted four of the six highest per game averages in AFL history under the guidance of Malley.

SACK EXCHANGE – In the 17-year history of the AFL only 17 players have recorded 20 or more sacks in a career. The SaberCats have three of those players on their 2004 roster. Sam Hernandez is the league's career leader with 54 and also holds he SaberCats all-time record with 33.5. Joe Jacobs, who sustained a torn biceps tendon on the first offensive play in last year's opener and missed the entire season, ranks 8th with 27.5 sacks and 8-year veteran Chuck Reed has totaled 22.5 in his career.

GETTING HIS KICKS – For the first time in two seasons the SaberCats will have a new kicker. Rookie Dan Frantz won the battle in training camp and replaces Daron Alcorn, the team's career leader in kick scoring (282), PATs made (231) and PAT attempts (264). Alcorn signed a contract with the Las Vegas Gladiators after being let go by the SaberCats.

PLAYERS TO WATCH:
OS JAMES HUNDON – Can the smooth receiver known as JHun repeat his efforts from the past two seasons after playing in the CFL last fall? Hundon has averaged 87 catches and 31 TDs over the last two years but playing football year round is sure to take its toll. Hundon became the SaberCats career leader in TD receptions with 78 last year and needs just one reception to crack the top five. He enters the season with 220 catches and is behind Shalon Baker (221) for 5th on the team's chart.

QB MARK GRIEB – According to SaberCats' strength & conditioning coach Fred Stephens, Grieb is the strongest he's ever been since joining the club. Despite setting team season records for pass attempts (476), completions (310), yards (3,966) and TDs (72) last year, Grieb never felt comfortable after coming back from his clavicle injury in 2002 and dealing with the short offseason prior to the start of 2003. Grieb took all but three snaps last season and was the only SaberCats' QB to throw a pass in 2003.

WR/DB BARRY WAGNER – If you play 12 years in a 17-year old league you are likely to hold some records. Barry Wagner holds some records. Wags is the AFL's career leader in scoring (2,310 pts), TDs scored (380), rush TDs (108) and tackles (614.5). He also ranks 2nd in receptions (893), receiving yards (12,362) and TD receptions (256) while placing 3rd in all-purpose yards (19,095) and interceptions (44).

DETROIT PLAYERS TO WATCH:
DS/KR RON CARPENTER – The five-year AFL veteran is also one of the finest runback specialists in the league. Carpenter has 18 combined kick return TDs in his career and is the only opposing player to run back a missed field goal and kickoff for a touchdown in the same game against San Jose. That was accomplished on July 25, 1998 when the 6-foot-1 Carpenter played for the defunct New York CityHawks. Carpenter returned three kickoffs for scores when he was with Nashville in a 73-47 win at Oklahoma on June 30, 2001.

QB ANDY KELLY – Kelly, a 10-year veteran, is the AFL's all-time leader in pass attempts (4,084), completions (2,503), passing yards (27,847) and TD passes (548). During his career, Kelly has has started 11 games with four different teams against the SaberCats and has completed 238-of-405 pass attempts (58.8%) for 2,550 yards and 53 TDs. Kelly directed the Fury to a 45-42 upset of the SaberCats last season by completing 26-of-45 for 243 yards and six TDs with no INTs. Kelly is best known to San Jose fans as Nashville's starting QB when the Kats bested the SaberCats in the 2000 and 2001 semifinals. Kelly threw a SaberCats opponent record 51 passes as a member of the Dallas Desperados on May 25, 2002 and he owns a 5-6 record in career starts against San Jose.
