Headlines - March 6, 2011 - Offseason Wrapup

Former Cowboy Reid is learning the arena game: "Bobby Reid has never played arena football, but he found some good teachers to prepare him for the Tulsa Talons training camp. The former Oklahoma State quarterback spent a couple of months throwing to former Talons receivers Jeff Hughley and Donovan Morgan."

Tulsa World looks at competition in the Talons camp: "Boyd, a former University of Tulsa lineman, will be among 34 men vying for 24 active and reserve roster spots. The Talons are giving him a second chance. Boyd went to camp two years ago, but illness and other factors sabotaged his trial."

Arena Pigskin has the Talons finishing last in the Central: "Tulsa may have some really good/great players on defense, but who’s even playing on the offense. The Talons lost one of the best quarterback-wide receiver duos when Justin Allgood and Donovan Morgan left for the Philadelphia Soul. Right now, there is no clear cut replacements for either of those two. And we all know that the AFL is all about the offense." Respectfully I disagree.

The Talons held a scrimmage against the Dallas Vigilantes Wednesday. All reports show that the Talons were very physical on Defense and the Talons Offense performed well. Seems we may surprise some people this year.

A look at new Talons DB Jihad Morris: "I really love the arena game," Morris said. "I'm quick, I really think I can get from wall-to-wall pretty fast. I know I can make plays. I want to get out some more film and get some looks from more teams."
