game preview
After playing seven of their first ten games
on the road, the Arizona Rattlers (7-3) are
finally coming home to the Talking Stick
Resort Arena for a two game stretch,
facing the Portland Steel (1-8) this Saturday, and the Philadelphia Soul (8-2) on the
following Friday.
Saturday’s game against the Steel will be
the third and final time the two teams will
meet in the regular season. The Rattlers
are currently 2-0 against Portland, outscoring them by a score of 148-49 (99 points).
This, however, is not the same Steel team
that the Rattlers faced early this season.
Quarterback Shane Austin returned to
the team mid-May, and the team has been
playing better with him under center. Since
taking over, the Steel pushed the Cleveland
Gladiators (5-5) to overtime, led the LA
KISS (4-5) in the 4th quarter before losing
late, and throttling the Tampa Bay Storm
(1-8).
The Rattlers, meanwhile, finally get to play
in the friendly confines of the Snake Pit,
and look to use last week’s win over the
Gladiators as momentum to drive the second half of the season. Arizona’s win on
Saturday gave the Rattlers a commanding
two-game advantage for the conference
title with only six games left in the season.
Quarterback Nick Davila earned the Under
Armour Offensive Player of the Week
award in that game completing 23 of 33
passes for 289 yards, nine touchdowns, and
no turnovers. Wide receiver Rod Windsor
also stood out, earning the J. Lewis Small
Playmaker of the Game honors for his four
touchdown receptions.
•
In the seven regular season games against
Portland, QB Nick Davila has thrown 53 TDs to
just 2 Interceptions.
•
The week one victory in Portland, 80-28, was
the largest margin of victory in team history.
•
The Arizona Rattlers have the top scoring
offense in the league averaging 65 points per
game. The Steel have the 7th ranked scoring
offense averaging just under 39 points per
game.
•
The average margin of victory for Arizona
against Portland is 25 points.
•
The Rattlers average 68 points per regular
season game against Portland.
•
Arizona DB Allen “Bubba” Chapman played for
Portland in 2015 and had 3 pass breakups.
•
Portland WR Jared Perry played for the Rattlers in 2013 and 2015 and had 21 touchdowns
during his time in Arizona.
•
Portland DB Sergio Gilliam played for the Rattlers in 2010 and had a forced fumble, a fumble
recovery, and an interception during his time in
Arizona.
•
The Rattlers have the third best scoring defense in the league only allowing 47 points per
game. The Steel have the worst in the league,
allowing 61 points per game

Coaching Staff
Kevin Guy
General Manager, Head Coach
111-41 Record at Arizona
Kevin Guy begins his 16th season coaching in
Arena football, his 12th as a general manager and
head coach, and his eighth in that position with the
Rattlers.
In 2015, Guy was nominated for the AFL Hall of
fame and was inducted into the University of West
Alabama Hall of Fame.
Coaching Honors
2011 AFL Coach of the Year
2003 AF2 Coach of the Year
AF2 Hall of Fame
West Alabama Hall of Fame
In 2014, Guy led one of the AFL’s most-storied
franchises to its fourth consecutive ArenaBowl
appearance and third straight world championship,
a 72-32 victory over the Cleveland Gladiators. The
Rattlers posted an AFL-record 14 straight victories
to start the season, and ended the regular season
at 15-3 and going undefeated on their home turf at
Ak-Chin Field at US Airways Center.
Guy’s offense in 2014 was explosive, scoring 164
touchdowns and averaging a league-leading 63.9
points per game. The Rattlers offense under Guy,
was led by its opposing pass offense that threw for
over 5,000 yards and averaged a staggerring 8.4
yards per attempt.
In 2013, Guy led the Rattlers to its third consecutive
ArenaBowl appearance and second straight world
championship, a 48-39 victory over the Philadelphia
Soul. The Rattlers posted a then AFL-record 18
victories (first set by the team in 2011).
Under Guy, Arizona’s offense led the league in
scoring with 170 touchdowns and averaging 66.8
points per game. The Rattlers also fielded one of
the league’s most stingy defenses, allowing only
48.1 points per game, second to Philadelphia’s 46.6.
Guy also saw eight of his players receive All-Arena
honors, including two first-teamers.
In 2012, Guy led Arizona to its first ArenaBowl
championship in more than a decade. The Rattlers
won 16 games, earning back-to-back West Division
and National Conference championships. The
offense scored 158 touchdowns during the regular
season and averaged 62.1 points per game, while
the defense forced 45 turnovers and allowed 48.9
points per game.
Guy’s 2011 team piled up 160 touchdowns during
the regular season, averaging 61.9 points per game.
The defense, meanwhile, forced 54 turnovers for a
plus-34 turnover ratio – the best in the AFL – while
holding opposing teams to 46.4 points per game.
While the Rattlers would make their first ArenaBowl
appearance since 2004, they would come up short
in the final seconds, losing 73-70 to the Jacksonville
Sharks.
An arenafootball2 Hall of Fame inductee, Guy has
proven to be a consistent winner, owning a 72.6
winning percentage (122-46) as a head coach. In
2011, he was named NFL Network Coach of the Year.
Guy joined the Rattlers on Aug. 10, 2007. He had
been serving as defensive coordinator for the San
Jose SaberCats, which had just won ArenaBowl
XXI. The Rattlers, meanwhile, were coming off
the second-worst record in the league (4-12). Guy
immediately went to work. He retained only three
players from the 2007 team and began the 2008
season with nine rookies and seven second-year
players. Arizona would win four more games over
the previous year and host a first-round playoff
game against Grand Rapids. Guy finished second in
voting for AFL Coach of the Year, one of only four
coaches to receive votes for the award. In 2010, the
Rattlers would post their first winning season (106) since 2004 a nd reach the National Conference
semifinals, losing 57-49 to the Spokane Shock.
While the AFL reorganized in 2009, Guy continued
his duties with the Rattlers and served as a
consultant to the general manager and head coach
of the Rio Grande Valley Dorados (af2). Guy assisted
with all aspects of the organization, including
business and football operations. With the help of
Guy’s advisement, Rio Grande Valley return to the

GAME NOTES
footballhead coach
af2 playoffs after failing to reach the postseason the
previous year.
Guy left the af2 with the most wins in the history of
the league when he joined the SaberCats in 2005.
His 52 victories came in his four seasons, an average
of 13 wins per season. He picked up a Coach of the
Year award along the way and finished with a 73.2
winning percentage while leading the Tennessee
Valley Vipers (2002-04) and Dorados (2005).
In 2005, Guy led the Texas-based Dorados to a 10-6
regular-season record and a trip to the league’s
National Conference championship game. The
Dorados’ last victory that season, a 65-42 decision
over Tulsa in the playoffs, lifted him to the top of the
league’s coaching leaders.
With Tennessee Valley, Guy’s teams won 39 of 48
regular-season games and claimed a division title
each season. In 2003, the Vipers won their first 14
games and reached the conference championship
game. Guy would be named Coach of the Year.
Guy’s teams consistently were ranked near the top
of all major statistical categories during his tenure as
an af2 coach. He had 31 players advance from the
af2, with five joining the National Football League.
He had 14 players earn All-af2 recognition.
In 2001, Guy became the defensive coordinator for
the AFL’s Florida Bobcats, where his defense limited
opposing teams to fewer than 30 points per game
twice and forced 26 turnovers. Florida also averaged
six defensive stops per game.
Guy attended the University of West Alabama from
1991 to 1995. He was born Dec. 6, 1972, in Birmingham,
Ala.
