Former offensive coordinator and now head coach Scott Albertson brings on a new defensive coordinator and support staff. Returning outstanding players like Josh Jackson DT/OT, Victor Arroyo TE, Lurrel Johnson RB, Kenny Teasley WR, Eric Arroyo WR and James Teasley C will have their opportunity to influence the Blazers with their leadership. Even though depth and the lack of numbers are an issue, the Blazers have demonstrated a tradition of winning. "The players are motivated and have had a taste for winning. They know that the teams we face are now gunning for us, I believe the boys are ready," surmised Coach Albertson.
