The Shock's defensive backfield is going to be one of the most feared in the af2, as the team has just signed all-league Aaron Williams to compliment last year's Rookie of the Year in Sergio Gilliam.Williams had 12 interceptions last season and Gilliam set the af2 record for picks in a season with 16. Boy howdy, opposing QBs are going to think of the Spokane Arena as a graveyard with those two guys roaming around.
Looking at the roster that's shaping up, there are a lot of guys from last year and a lot of GOOD guys from last year. The prospects and expectations are going to be high this year for a drive to the af2 championship.

A big thanks to Kevin Maloney for providing all the info about the roster moves. And if you can't get enough of star wide reciever Raul Vijil, Kevin also wrote up this feature on him as the face of the franchise. There's also a link to a nice You Tube highlight reel.
So what are your thoughts about this year's team. They've got to be the favorite in the af2 this year, hands down.
It's almost scary how good this team COULD be; only time will tell how good they WILL be. But from my seat in the Arena, I would say things haven't looked much better coming into the season!
