I've been wanting to root for the AZ Hotshots (I've lived her for 8 years) but I just can't get excited about the team. Not a big Neuheisel fan and I'm not overly impressed with the offensive talent. I do like the slot WR Rashad Ross, a couple of d linemen (Will Sutton and Obum Gwatcham), and their secondary (Rahim Moore, Robert Nelson, Dexter McDougle, and ex-Cowboy Sterling Moore).
I really like the style and rosters for San Antonio and Orlando so far. Garett Gilbert seems to be excelling in Spurrier's offense. The defensive staff is pretty good too (DC Bob Sanders, DL Jim Jeffcoat, CB Donnie Abraham, S Lito Sheppard), and seems to be getting the most out of this defense.
My top 2 favorite players/prospects so far are Mekale McKay (San Antonio WR) and Jamar Summers (Birmingham CB).
Also, I was telling
@JBS that I was most intrigued by Christian Hackenberg coming into the season. The former 5-star recruit has the prototypical size (6'4" and 225) and shined under Bill O'Brien in their only year together at Penn State. However, after watching him play and thinking back to his time with the Jets, he checks down way too much and I don't think he can process the information quick enough to make pro QB decisions. Watching his body language and listening to him being mic'd up last week, and the fact he refused to be mic'd up this week, proved he's quick to blame and point fingers, and his actual language matches is body language. Having been blessed to coach college players the past 7 years, I've been around some awesome leaders at quarterback, and unfortunately a few kids just like Hackenberg. Kids won't rally and play for a selfish, spoiled, unlikeable quarterback like that. That's the thing with scouting/watching from afar. You see the physical tools and athletic ability, but you just don't always get to experience the intangibles like leadership and attitude.
