June 15, 2006 � The Chicago Rush announced today it has placed lineman
Khreem Smith on the Arena Football League's exempt roster after Smith
signed a two-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings.

Smith (6-4, 270, Oklahoma State) finished his rookie season as the AFL
leader in forced fumbles (6) and ranked second in the AFL in sacks
(8.0).  He also recorded 22.5 tackles, two passes broken up and one
blocked kick.  His sack total is the third-highest single-season total
in Rush history, behind John Moyer's 10 sacks in 2004 and nine in 2003.

At the conclusion of the regular season, Smith was named Second Team
All-Arena and to the AFL's All-Rookie team.

The Chicago Rush will host a public celebration of its ArenaBowl XX
title at the Ram Restaurant and Brewhouse in Rosemont on Thursday,
June 22, the team announced today.

The event, which begins at 5 p.m., will feature Rush team captains
Bob McMillen, John Moyer and Etu Molden, the Adrenaline Rush Dancers,
the team's mascot, Grabowski, and, of course, the ArenaBowl trophy.

The Ram is located at 9520 Higgins Road in Rosemont.

"Our fans have been great since Day 1 and we wanted to make sure we
did something special to help them celebrate the title," said Rush
president/general manager Mike Polisky.  "They deserve this win as
much as our players and coaches."

At the celebration fans will have the opportunity to pose for
pictures with the trophy, get autographs and purchase ArenaBowl XX
merchandise � including a commemorative poster featuring images from
the championship game.

The Rush defeated the Orlando Predators 69-61 Sunday in Las Vegas to
capture the ArenaBowl XX title.  The win capped an amazing playoff
run in which the underdog Rush won three consecutive road games on
its way to the championship game.

What has happend to the Chicago Rush?
I don't think they will win anymore games this year. I am very
frustrated with this team I can't get behind them this year. I feel
terrible but I just can not connect with this years team it seems like
they are not even trying anymore. I see so much sloppy play & lack of
concentration. I will still go to the games but I think this team
needs a miracle to salvage this season
  Thanks for letting me vent & Go RUSH

I really hope the Rush prove me wrong

I disagree about Jeremy Unertl, every DB in this league gets burned. But not
all of them will tatoo the guy when he gets the ball like Unertl can. He is
a heat seeking missle waiting to be lauched at anybody who has the ball.
That is something you can not say about any other player on defense that the
Rush have on thier current roster. He is averaging 1 int per contest, you
haave to take that into concideration when assesing his overall ability to
be a cover man.

I got to watch the Rush lose to Colorado in person and I could not
believe how loose they played the receivers. While newcomer Jeremy
Unertl is capable of getting turnovers on defense, he also lets too
many catches happen. He's the type of defender who will get picked on
for this tendency. The defense is so soft in the secondary, that I'd
say (without looking at stats) it could be the worst I've seen in 5
years of Rush football. Since Dameon Porter and Lindsey Fleshman left
the team a few years ago, the pass coverage has been spotty, even by
high-scoring arena ball standards. The linemen do enough to get
pressure consistently on the QB's, so I don't see them as the problem.
Even with Moyer and Bleisath out, the front 3 played well in my opinion.

At the same time, I think the offense just needs to settle down and get
healthy at all positions. Butchie Ibeh is a great find and Etu looked
like his old self bringing in big catches. Of course, McMillen is
great. D'Orazio seems to be more mobile than Philyaw and just as
accurate.

Kicking is great, even without Gispert. I like the current backup
kicker. He missed the extra point, but he also hit that 53-yarder the
week before. He's got high, booming kickoffs too. The coverage teams
need to get better at tackling downfield,

I agree, he was bringing it Sunday. Hearing those pops he was dishing out
was music to my ears.
Welcome to Chicago Jeremy, I hope to see Unertl in a Rush uni untill he
turns up in the NFL. And if he keeps popping people like that, it will be a
short stay in Chicago.

Newly acquired Jeremy Unertl (you-NER-tuhl) who arrived via trade with
Columbus for OS Henry Douglas last week made an immediate impression
last Sunday. He had several nice pops on Kats receivers and broke up a
few passes. It appeared to have an effect on routes run over the middle
and seemed to tighten up the Rush secondary. Unertl even had an
interception in the end zone but had it nullified via penalty for
holding on the defensive line. He followed up on the next play with a

Coach Mike Hohensee rated his quarterback Matt D'Orazio a B+ so far
this season in his "Ask Coach Ho" taped segment on 2/9/06. Coach Ho
felt Matt had a very good first game against Colorado but struggled at
times in game 2 against the Dragons. Hohensee did feel that D'Orazio
did well down the stretch. In fact, D'Orazio leads the league in 4th
quater pass efficiency (16 of 18) and 4th down completions (4 of 5. All
for first downs) so it appears Matt steps up when the game's on the
line.

The Chicago Rush announced today it has traded offensive specialist
Henry Douglas to the Columbus Destroyers in exchange for WR/DB Jeremy
Unertl (you-NER-tuhl).
"We felt we needed to get some more size in our defensive backfield,"
said Rush head coach Mike Hohensee.  "Unertl is a big, physical DB with
good ball skills.  He has been on our radar for a few years and we were
impressed with him when we had a chance to see him in person during our
preseason scrimmage in Columbus.  Unfortunately, to get someone you
want you have to give up a good player, and while we hate to lose HD,
we felt this was a move we needed to make."
The entire story on the Rush web page:
http://www.chicagorush.com/news.asp?ID=557
The also waived replacement kicker Steve Azar. He played in one game
for Chicago, connecting on three of five extra point attempts and
missing his only field goal attempt.

The NY Dragons, this Friday night's adversary (7:30, Fox Sports Net if

Kats 57 - 28 at home last Saturday. Dragons QB Aaron Garcia was sacked
7 times, One for a safety. Garcia, who was recently named one of the
AFL's 20 Greatest Players, had a terrible night, going 27-of 41 for 270
yards and four touchdowns. He was picked off twice, and he fumbled once.
Let's hope the Rush defensive line can get pressure on Garcia this week.

Thanks mschwar62 for information.

I understand that football is a business, and there are definitely changes. Let's be clear about something. The Chicago Rush signed linebacker Frank Moore (a wonderful guy), Etu Molden (a team standout), and number of other players before the 2005 season was over. Etu Molden, along with a number of other Chicago Rush players stood to become free agents within a season or two. The players, who would become free agents within a season or two, that the Chicago Rush organization wanted to keep were all signed. So why didn't the Chicago Rush organization sign Ray Philyaw? Why was Ray Philyaw not as valuable to the Chicago Rush organization as the other players, signed, were at the time of signage or even now? I don't have to tell you that the Chicago Rush is widely known for its offensive plays. The heart and soul of any offense, AFL, NFL, NFL Europe, CFL, AFL2, and etc., is the the QUARTERBACK. For an effectively productive, and highly valuable quarterback like Ray Philyaw to NOT be re-signed to the Chicago Rush organization is beyond forgiveable. It really is a sin! So is the Chicago Rush not properly and publicly saying a professional farewell to Ray Philyaw. So I'll say it, Goodbye Ray, and thanks for so many wonderful memories on-the-field, and your work within the Chicago Community, which I'm sure came at a great deal of travel. I hope that the Chicago Rush organization repaid your good work here with something equally as wonderful within your hometown's community..

Most of all I'm going to miss talking to Ray Philyaw. He is an atypical down-to-earth, southern man, who made good in the great midwest. I am, mostly, going to miss the Philyaw-Molden connection. This, I feel, is going to hurt us, as Rush fans, the most. Will AFL Sunday's be the same in Chicago? Stay tuned?!!!!

He was a free agent who signed with Grand Rapids. Whether you liked or disliked him, the Rush didn't trade him. He left to sign elsewhere... So the Rush signed Michael Bishop...Hopefully he can take this team that extra step to an Arena Bowl. Remember everybody, football is a business. It all starts with money...As fans we just have to roll with the changes and hope for the best.

Why should Chicago Rush fans be glad to get rid of a quarterback who put the Chicago Rush on the map of NBC television every Sunday as oppose to the years prior to his arrival to the organization? Why should diehard Chicago Rush fans be so easy to wave to Ray, when months ago we were chanting his name?

I say we should be glad the Rush got rid if Ray. He was good but I think a little overated. Besides we have Michael Bishop now and he will leed the Rush to arenabowl XX.

It seems that no one has noticed or mentioned that the Chicago Rush has either axed or traded #12, Ray Philyaw. Does anyone know, factually, what really were the circumstances that lead to us as fans of Ray Philyaw losing him? Why did the Chicago Rush organization not let us, for those of us who are fans of his, know publicly that he (Philyaw) was no longer a member of the team. Like a lot of diehard fans, we do check the roster bios to see who is still a member of the team. There are fans of the team who did mentioned that Greg Williams is gone. A picture of Ray Philyaw remained posted on the Chicago Rush's website for a weeks. Now, the Chicago Rush organization can not mentioned that he is no longer a member of the team. How shameful is that. It is as if all of Ray Philyaw's efforts to get the Chicago Rush to the Arenabowl was totally in vain. I noticed last year, after speaking to Ray Philyaw at the season ticket holder's party, that he had a renewed sense of life and what was important to him at that juncture of his life. What I also detected, was that Ray Philyaw learned the hardway how he was very much valued with the organization. Needless to say, he seemed to be undervalued by the organization. I was hoping that this year would be different. It will be different, just not the way I had envisioned it. Unless there is a severe typo in the roster/bios category, Ray Philyaw will no longer play for the Chicago Rush. For the organization to not let the fans of the Chicago Rush know whether they have traded him or he left is a sin. Rush organization: Please repent.
