Tampa Bay Storm game notes

April 10, 2007 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I)
Tampa Bay Storm News Release


The Tampa Bay Storm travel to Orlando this Saturday, April 14 to take on the Orlando Predators in the 41st installment of the War on I-4. In what is the most intense rivalry in Arena Football, the Storm seeks revenge for a Week 1 loss at home to the Predators. Leading the way for Tampa Bay is the fifth ranked rushing offense and a revamped defense.

After losing fullback Rodney Filer in Week 4, Torrance Marshall picked up the load. Marshall is 13th in the league in rushing after only two games with 57 yards and six touchdowns. His performance was aided by the arrival of Lincoln Kennedy in Week 6.

The Storm defense had its biggest game of the season last week as it recorded six turnovers and put pressure on the quarterback the entire game. Jeroid Johnson, fifth in the AFL in interceptions, returned one pick 45-yards for a touchdown. Meanwhile Nyle Wiren recorded two interceptions in the second quarter alone. The defensive line led by Tom Briggs, third in the AFL in sacks, recorded his 45th career sack. If the Storm can maintain this pressure against Orlando, Predators quarterback Shane Stafford will be in for a long night.

Orlando is coming into the game with several question marks due to injuries. Coming off of a bye week, Orlando hopes to have some key players return to the lineup. With receiver DeAndrew Rubin out with a broken arm (Offensive Player of the Game in the Week 1 match-up) the Predators hope that Jimmy Fryzel (Hamstring) and Cliff Dell (quad) are ready to go. On the defensive line, Greg White (Who had a big game in the Week 1 match-up) is recovering from an elbow injury. Injuries could play a big role in the outcome of this game.

TAMPA BAY -NEW ORLEANS RECAP

The Storm garnered its first victory of the season 66-43 over an injury plagued New Orleans VooDoo team in front of 16,644 fans Saturday, April 7 at the St. Pete Time Forum. Offensive Player of the Game Stoney Case had an efficient game as he completed 19 of 24 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns. The ground game continued to excel, as Torrance Marshall ran for 37 yards and three touchdowns, Case added another on the ground. However the story of the game was the Tampa Bay defense as it came up with six turnovers and knocked VooDoo quarter back Andy Kelly out of the game on the opening series. Defensive Player of the Game Nyle Wiren led the charge with two second quarter picks off of replacement quarterback Steve Bellisari. Jeroid Johnson returned another interception 45-yards for a touchdowns and rookie Khalid Naziruddin, who came up with big hit after big hit, recorded his first career interception. Even though Bellisari threw four interceptions he also had six touchdown and 277 yards passing as he hooked up with Jacques Rumph eight times for 108 yards and three touchdowns. They meet again in New Orleans Saturday, June 2 (8:00 p.m. EST) at the New Orleans Arena.

Orlando 46, Tampa Bay 45 (June 19, 1993)

The rivalry was at its pinnacle when an AFL record 28,746 fans jammed the Thunderdome to watch two of the league's best teams square off. Jay Gruden's two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete with 2:29 remaining as the Predators held on for a 46-45 win and a regular season series sweep.

Tampa Bay 55, Orlando 52 (August 14, 1993)

The league's two best teams met in the semifinals for the second consecutive year. This time, the Predators trailed for most of the game but tied the score at 38-38 on a 4th quarter Billy Owens' touchdown.

Tampa Bay 40, Orlando 39 (August 13, 1994)

Tampa Bay slashed any hopes by the Predators of running off a perfect season. After posting 11 consecutive wins, the Orlando Predators missed an opportunity to become just the seventh team in modern day professional football history to record a perfect regular season when Storm kicker Mike Lazecki booted an 18-yard field goal with 31 seconds remaining to give the Storm a 40-39 upset win. Orlando still had a chance to win, until quarterback Duke Tobin's fifth interception fell in the hands of Storm defensive back Eddie Brown in the Tampa Bay end zone with 10 seconds remaining.

Tampa Bay 48, Orlando 35 (September 1, 1995)

Under first-year head coach Tim Marcum, the Storm complete their third championship season by defeating the arch rival Predators in ArenaBowl IX.

Orlando 41, Tampa Bay 19 (August 7, 1999)

Orlando became the first #8 seed in AFL history to knock off a #1 seed, as the 7-7 Predators shocked the 11-3 Storm, 41-19 in the playoffs. The Storm led 10-0 at the half, but Orlando rallied and dominated the second half. Orlando would go on to become the first #8 seed to ever make it to the ArenaBowl after upsetting #2 seeded Iowa the following week, 48-41.

Orlando 34, Tampa Bay 24 (August 8, 2000)

For an unprecedented third consecutive year, the Predators and Gruden would send Tampa Bay packing in the playoffs. This time it was more difficult, as Orlando led by just three (20-17) in the third quarter. Orlando receiver Joe Douglass scored on a 33-yard pass from Connell Maynor and Maynor then ran over from the 9-yard line as the Predators took a 34-17 lead late in the 4th quarter.

Tampa Bay 48, Orlando 45 (June 9, 2002)

Gruden completed 24-of-32 passes for 286 yards and four touchdowns.

Tampa Bay 60, Orlando 50 (June 7, 2003)

Orlando had a 28-20 lead in the second quarter, but Tampa Bay rallied to take a 33-31 lead at the half. In the second half the Storm jumped out to a 47-31 lead and sealed the victory when TT Toliver picked off a Jay Gruden pass and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown with 40 seconds left in the game. The win propelled the Storm into ArenaBowl XVII, where they defeated the Arizona Rattlers, 43-29, for the team's fifth ArenaBowl title.

Tampa Bay 63, Orlando 58 (May 4, 2004)

The Storm win their fourth straight game against the Orlando Predators, marking the longest winning streak by Tampa Bay in the series since a five game winning streak that stretched through parts of the 1994, 1995, and 1996 seasons. Tampa Bay opened up a 51-23 lead after three quarters, but the Predators threatened to make an improbable come-back, tying the game at 51-51 before a pair of late Storm touchdowns salted the game away.

Orlando 67, Tampa Bay 64 (OT) (Feb 19, 2006)

The Predators snapped the twelve game home win streak the Storm had coming into this overtime thriller. Tampa Bay's twenty-two point fourth quarter helped the team force overtime against their heated rival.

SACK FULL-O-BRIGGS

In need of a stronger pass rush Coach Marcum sought out a true sack-master.

Tom Briggs wasted no time proving why Tampa Bay signed him this past off-season. It only took Briggs his first game in a Storm uniform to wrap up the opposing quarterback for his 42-career sack. Briggs has recorded four sacks in six games this season. He now sits alone in second place all-time on the AFL career sack list with 45.

However, six additional rookies did make the roster only to find their way to the practice squad or injured reserve list. Beginning the season on the practice squad were Khalid Naziruddin and Karl Williams. Starting the season on injured reserve are Hank Edwards, B.J. Symons, Bo Rogers and Clint Mitchell. Geir Gudmundsen was added during Week 3 and Lincoln Kennedy in Week 5.

WHEW . . . HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG

HAIL TO THE CHIEF

Legendary AFL head coach Tim Marcum enters his 13th season as head coach of the Tampa Bay Storm in 2007 and his 19th overall as an AFL head coach. A charter member of the Arena Football League Hall of Fame, Marcum's AFL coaching legacy is unmatched and his incredible on-field achievements continue to overwhelm.

Marcum is the winningest head coach in Arena Football history. He enters the 2007 season having won seven ArenaBowl championships and has coached in ten of the league's 20 ArenaBowls. Marcum is the only coach in Arena Football history to lead three different teams to ArenaBowl championships (Denver, Detroit, and Tampa Bay), and is the AFL leader in victories (182), games coached (264-regular season, 35-post season), and postseason victories (25).

FILLING IN FOR FILER

Even though Rodney Filer is out for at least 12 weeks after suffering a broken left leg and dislocated left ankle he ended Week 4 as one of the leading rushers in the AFL. He was third in rushing yards with 94 and second in rushing touchdowns with nine. Stepping into his shoes was Torrance Marshall; he has rushed 23 times for 56 yards and six touchdowns and the 13th ranked rusher after only two games. He recorded the second most rushing attempts in a single-game vs. New Orleans.

YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS WITH LAWRENCE

With one of the best set of hands in the league, Samuels is the receiver you want to go to when you need those hard yards. He currently is tied for third in the league in Third-Down receptions with Bobby Sippio of the Chicago Rush and Trandon Harvey from the Arizona Rattlers. They each have eight Third-Down receptions.

THE OVAL OFFICE

Recently acquired offensive lineman Lincoln Kennedy will become the first NFL first round pick to dress for the Tampa Bay Storm. A two-time Pro Bowl Tackle he sent 11 years in the NFL and spent time as an analyst on the NFL Network. His first game, he set the tone on the offensive line as all four rushing touchdowns came on the right side of the line behind him.

RUN ... T.T. ... RUN

T.T. Toliver leads the Storm with 633 yards from the line of scrimmage good for 7th in the AFL and is tied for 8th with 33 first downs made (Two rushing and 31 receiving). Additionally, Toliver is sixth in the league in all-purpose yardage with 956. He leads the team in receiving with 49 receptions and 616 yards and 10 touchdowns; kick returns with 16 for 302 yards an 18.9 average; special tackles with five tackles.

MAKING HIS CASE

Quarterback Stoney Case two career AFL career starts this season after spending four years as a backup. It has been over seven years since he was a starting quarterback. He is 41 of 59 for 468 yards and six touchdowns; he has also ran in two touchdowns.
