View from the enemy: N/A
Tulsa is coming off a tough loss to the Kansas City where the Talons lost on a last second KC touchdown, when Tulsa failed to recover a fumble on the play before.
Chicago coming in: The Rush played last Sunday with an impressive win over the Dallas Vigilantes to regain the lead in the division.
THE MATCHUP
The stats and matchups aren't much different that the team played a fews week ago: See the last preview.
QB Matt Bassuener is likely to get the start. However, Mitch Allner has said that Justin Allgood will get playing time. What concerns me is that Allgood looked terrible is his last start against Chicago, going 12-22 and 2 TDs to 3 INTs. Matt wasn't impressive either is their last matchup going 17-31 and 3TDs to 3INTs.
On Defense, the Talons pass rush of Victor DeGrate, Collin Bryant, and Nekos Brown will need to be stellar once again. In the previous matchup, Rush QB Russ Michna was harassed all game long and the Rush committed 6 turnovers. The Defense will need to continue to force turnovers to help the team to a big road win.
Kickoff at 3:00 CT.
Headlines - May 29, 2011
Turnovers hurting the Talons last week: Allner first thought the ball would be batted down easily. Then he saw Devoe and Talons defender Fred Shaw jostling for position. "(Devoe) did a good job of getting a body on (Shaw) and almost blocking him out like a low-post player in basketball," Allner said. Allner said the last play didn't beat the Talons as much as three turnovers did. Tulsa missed out on points when McBroom fumbled at the Kansas City 10 just before halftime.
On the botched fumble recovery: On first down from the Talons 9, defensive end Colin Bryant slapped the ball out of Raterink's hand. Nekos Brown tried to scoop it on the run, but the ball skittered to a Command player. Should Brown simply have tried to fall on the ball? "You can't really fault him because it's in the heat of the moment," nose guard Reggie Paramoure said. When the play was over, Kansas City had the ball and four-tenths of a second remained - way too much time for a Talons team that lost consecutive games on untimed downs after the clock had run out at Arizona and Jacksonville last year.
Allgood's status for this week: Head coach Mitch Allner said he would give veteran quarterback Justin Allgood his first playing time since Allgood rejoined the team last week. But whether Allgood will start ahead of rookie quarterback Matt Bassuener is likely to be a game-time decision.
Tulsa least penalized team in the league: "Tulsa is a world by itself when it comes to penalties. The Talons, just like last season, are by far the least penalized team in the league. Tulsa averages 5.8 penalties per game while the next closest team averages 7.8 penalties. Looking at the Talons' 13 regular season home games since joining the AFL, the numbers are shocking compared to the rest of the league. In those games, Tulsa has yet to be called for more than nine penalties and had more penalties than its opponents had in just two games. Seven opponents had more than ten penalties in games, while just three had five or fewer flags. Tulsa has had seven home games with four or fewer flags."
Football Gameplan's preview for today.
Great league story on Talon's public service.
The ending Saturday made the top 5 observations from the week: "5. Fans in Tulsa saw a classic AFL ending Saturday. On the last play of the game, Kansas City scored on a 16-yard desperation pass from JJ Raterink to Bradly Chavez. That has to be deflating to the Talons, who came into the game 4-2 in their last six games. With four turnovers and six other stops, it wasn’t a pretty game. But in the end, the Command made the play when it counted."

Tulsa is coming off a National televised win against the New Orleans VooDoo. The return of Justin Allgood this week has added a lot more attention to the Talons this week.
Kansas City coming in: The Command played last Friday losing a tough one to the Tampa Bay Storm.
THE MATCHUP
Just as in the Chicago game two weeks ago, the numbers lie in this one. The Command is near the top of the league on the offensive side of the ball. However, Kansas City is just 2-7 and put their top 2 receivers on Injured Reserve this week. While Tulsa continues to prove that defense and rushing still matter in this league.
QB Matt Bassuener will get a break this week playing against one of the worst defenses in the league. However, as stated above, he will have Justin Allgood standing behind him the whole game. It will be fun to see how Matt responds to that.
On Defense, the Talons will need to continue to be physical and cause turnovers. While the Talons are -5 in turnover differential, they have come alive since the Arizona game and have a +1 turnover differential and are getting more turnovers on downs.
Kickoff at 7:00 CT.
Headlines - May 21, 2011
Tulsa World recapping the VooDoo game: "Tulsa (4-5) has won four of its last six games after an 0-3 start. With last week's 64-45 win over Chicago, the Talons have now won two in a row for the first time this season. The Talons return home to play the Kansas City Command, a Central Division rival, next Saturday night."
Monday Philly.com broke news of the Allgood trade: "The Soul pulled the plug on quarterback Justin Allgood yesterday, sending him back to the Tulsa Talons in a three-team deal that netted Philadelphia an offensive lineman and future considerations. Allgood was one of the first players signed in the offseason by the Soul, who were rebuilding from scratch following two seasons off. Injuries and inconsistency stunted Allgood's transition here. His departure leaves Ryan Vena as the only quarterback on the roster."
Mitch Allner has assured that Bassuener will start: A trade sending former Tulsa Talons quarterback Justin Allgood back to his old team won't affect the status of current starter Matt Bassuener, at least not for now. "Matt is our starter. He's done a great job and definitely earned that spot," head coach Mitch Allner said.
Allgood is happy to be back in Tulsa: "It takes leaving something to miss it," said Allgood, who signed with the Soul after quarterbacking the Talons for the past four seasons. Allgood took part in Wednesday's practice at the Convention Center and started getting acquainted with teammates old and new. He played alongside current Talons receiver Al Hunt at Oklahoma City in 2006 as Craig Strickland's backup, before coming to Tulsa the following season.
Physical practices have improved the defense: "We have very active, very physical practices, and you're seeing that reflected on the weekends," Allner said. Tulsa's defense went from not stopping anyone six weeks ago to playing like one of the Arena Football League's best units.
AFL Midseason Report: "Looking ahead, the team will play just four playoff contenders over the next ten weeks. To help matters, they’ll play three of those games at home and will have one more shot at division leaders Chicago and Dallas. The chips could fall in Tulsa’s favor."
More talk of Bassuener in the Allgood trade: “We are pretty happy with where we are at with our quarterback right now. Matt is our starting quarterback and has done a great job so far,” Talons Head Coach Mitch Allner said. “It was great to get Allgood back home and to the team he has played with for the past few years. We are going to feel out how things go as far as his playing time. Bassuener has been here from the start of the season and our team is in a pretty good place right now where we are playing good ball.”

Allgood to return to the Talons?
One Philadelphia outlet is reporting it:
The Soul pulled the plug on quarterback Justin Allgood yesterday, sending him back to the Tulsa Talons in a three-team deal that netted Philadelphia an offensive lineman and future considerations.
I don't really know what to think. Allgood put up impressive numbers last season with the Talons. But this is Matt Bassuener's team now. As much as we loved Justin, he was inconsistent. He will lack the chemistry Bassuener has created with Troy McBroom and Brandon Copeland. So easily stated, I can't see Allgood starting.
However, it does give the Talons a better backup. We saw how Bobby Reid did at the end of the Chicago game. He could not get the ball off. Took a safety. Not something to inspire confidence in a backup. With Allgood the Talons will have a quality backup.
All in all, it could be good news for Allgood who has been benched in Philadelphia. Now he can return home to his child and girlfriend in Tulsa.

Tulsa is coming off the best win of the season taking down Chicago in impressive fashion last Saturday. Talons continue to evolve into one of the better Defenses in the league (5th overall in the past 5 games, see "Last Five Games" stats here).
New Orleans coming in: The VooDoo played last Saturday upsetting the Kansas City Command behind a defense that had two pick-6s.
THE MATCHUP
Last week, the Offense behind QBMatt Bassuener gave up three turnovers, which cannot happen again. Troy McBroom continues to be one of the most dominant WRs in the league and new addition JJ Payne adds a much needed traditional rushing attack. If the offense can continue to click then they should be able to put up good numbers on the board.
On Defense, the entire defense seems to bring the pain. Last week the Talons defense forced several fumbles and came up with six turnovers. The pass rush gets a much needed break this week against a VooDoo line that has had trouble protecting the quarterback. There is still one unknown at the moment, however, as VooDoo coach Stingley has yet to name a starting QB for tonight.
Kickoff at 7:00 CT.
Headlines - May 13, 2011
Talons Defense Leads: “Neal was credited with two forced fumbles, knocked down a pass and had a team-high eight tackles. The Talons forced three fumbles in a five-play span of the second quarter to take over the game and got another big play from Neal in the third quarter to blunt the Rush's last real attempt to get back into the game.”
Talons turning it around: “Another question is whether the Talons are in too deep to escape. They're tied with Spokane for the sixth-best record in the National Conference, and only four teams can advance to the playoffs, counting wild cards. That means the Talons can afford few losses in their final 10 games, starting with Friday's nationally televised visit to New Orleans.”
Coach Allner breaking down VooDoo defense: “They run some funky stuff,” Allner said to the wide receivers and quarterbacks. “Their Head Coach, Derek Stingley, has always been a good defensive minded guy. He does a great job at changing up different coverages. He’s always been good at playing with the quarterback’s mind and giving different looks throughout the game. We’ll have to feel him out a little bit to see how they are planning on attacking us with their defense. Like I said, we have to adjust accordingly to that.”
Talons have a “Soft” remaing schedule: “Tulsa Talons (3-5) – The Talons have seemed to find a groove…sometimes. Like the Command, Tulsa only plays four top-ranked teams the rest of the season. Two of those teams being Central Division rivals, Chicago and Dallas. Of the four teams, Tulsa will only travel once- Chicago in Week 12. Sitting at third in the Central Division, the Talons can get some momentum with the five division match-ups still left this season. The Talons round out the weakest schedule list at No. 4 by only playing four teams with winning records.”
Football Gameplan’s Preview for VooDoo game
People loving the camo jerseys: “How about those camouflaged jerseys by the Tulsa Talons and Orlando Predators? They were interesting to say the least. I love seeing the different jerseys and thought they were unique and pretty cool as an alternative. I’d like to see other teams being creative and showing off some new unis. Both teams won their games, so maybe fans will see them again.”
Arena Pigskin has Tulsa at 11: “Tulsa might finally be on the right track. A surprising beat down (and yes, it was in fact a beat down) of Chicago and a should-of upset of Cleveland have put Tulsa right were everyone (except me) thought they would be.”
Jamar Ransom on playing on national television: "You always want the opportunity to play on a national broadcast," Ransom said. "Your family, your friends, no matter where they are, can see you. But we're going down there with the focus that we have to get this win."
What they are saying in NOLA: With Tulsa, one concern facing the VooDoo is quarterback Matt Bassuener, who can hurt a team through the air and with his feet. Bassuener has thrown 19 touchdowns against nine interceptions. He has also run for eight touchdowns. "He can beat you with his legs and he has a talented receiver (Troy McBroom) who they go to a lot," linebacker Alvin Jackson said. "We just have to be disciplined. We have to do what we have to do and nothing extra, because he can beat you."
Kicker Juan Bongarra getting KOY attention: “Tulsa’s Juan Bongarra gets my vote for Kicker of the Year so far. He had the game winner from 42-yards out two weeks ago, and was solid last week against Chicago. On the season, Bongarra’s hit 70 percent of his field goals, a fantastic mark with the AFL’s narrow goalposts”
