Tampa Bay vs. Philly: game notes

A few Storm tidbits ...

-Wide receiver/kick returner Sedrick Robinson, who has been nothing short of sensational this season, was placed on Injured Reserve this week with a sprained ankle. In his place, the team activated veteran receiver David Saunders from IR. He has yet to play this season.

-Today's game can be seen live on ESPN2 and heard via radio on AM 1250.

-The teams have played each other four times. Each has won twice. The home team has won every time.

-The 76 points the Storm allowed in its last game, a loss to New Orleans, was a franchise worst.

-The Storm is 78-52 all time in road games.

-Mitch Tanney, the Storm's practice squad QB a few weeks, is now the No. 2 signal caller for Philly.

-Soul receiver Cliff Dell played for the Storm from 2003-05. He won a championship ring here in '03.

-The Storm already has allowed four receivers to post 100-yard games this season.

-Little known fact: Storm DB Jeroid Johnson ranks third all time in interception return yards.

-The Soul (4-0) has scored 60 or more points in every game.

-Philly's smallest margin of victory is 11 points.

-Former Florida Gator Dee Webb is on the Soul roster. He's a DB.

-Philly receiver Chris Jackson leads the league in scoring. He has 16 touchdowns.
