THREE IN A ROW FOR THE DEFENSE

The Las Vegas Locomotives defense has been dominating in the 2010 United Football League Season. For the third time in

as many games, a Loco has been named UFL Defensive Player of the Week. The latest Locos to receive league honors was

cornerback Isaiah Trufant, who played a major role in Las Vegas 22-10 victory over the Nighthawks last Friday. Trufantgave the Locos their first lead when he intercepted a Jeff Garcia pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown with 3:18

left in the second quarter. Trufant added a second interception later in the game that stalled a promising Nighthawks drive

in which Garcia had completed six of seven passes for 33 yards before the Locos cornerback picked him off. In Week 1 of

this years UFL season, Locomotives linebacker Brandon Moore was named Defensive Player of the Week after recording

10 total tackles and one sack. Defensive end Eric Henderson received league honors for his effort in the Locos Week 3

victory over the Florida Tuskers. Henderson finished the game with two sacks for 18 yards and two solo tackles.

LOCOS LOSE MALONE, ADD HOBBS

The Las Vegas Locomotives have lost defensive lineman Alfred Malone to a knee injury. The starting right tackle injured his

right knee early in the Locos 22-10 win over the Omaha Nighthawks and was put on injured reserve.The 6-foot4, 312-pound defender leaves a big hole in the Locos defensive line, but backup tackle Lauvale Sape has shown that he can step

in. Malone recorded four tackles this season, before going down in the first quarter of Fridays game. Were really sad that

Alfred is not going to be with us, said Locos defensive and special teams coordinator Larry MacDuff. Hes been a major

contributor for us on the defensive line and hes worked really hard. Hes a good football player and he has a great attitude.

He is a great team player. The Locos added defensive back Kevin Hobbs to their roster Sunday. The 27-year old was most

recently with the Miami Dolphins. He played in 34 NFL games with the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions, where he

started twice in 2009. We are excited about Kevin being added to our defensive unit, MacDuff said. He brings quality

experience as an NFL player and there are a lot of things he can do to help us. He is very smart and he will learn our defense

very quickly.Hobbs totaled 49 tackles and forced two fumbles in his three years with the Seahawks and Lions.

THURMAN TRIES TO REPEAT LAST YEARS SUCCESS AGAINST CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE

Locos wide receiver Andrae Thurman had two strong outings when the Locos and then-Redwoods met in the 2009 season.

The 5-11, 190-lb wideout caught six passes for 76 yards in the teams first matchup. In the second meeting, the 29-year-oldgave the Locos their first lead of the game on an 8-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter.

FASSEL RETURNS FOR SECOND SEASON

After winning the inaugural UFL championship with the Las Vegas Locos in 2009, head coach Jim Fassel returns for a second

year with the team. Under his guidance, the Locos finished with a 5-2 record in the Premiere season and defeated the

Florida Tuskers 20-17 in the championship game.As head coach of the New York Giants, Fassel resurrected the career ofquarterback Kerry Collins and received acclaim for his playoff guarantee in the 2000 season, during which he led the Giants

to an improbable Super Bowl appearance. Fassel has a long record of offensive successes and has tutored other prominent

quarterbacks including Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, Jeff Hoestetler and John Elway. Prior to becoming the Giants head

coach, Fassel was the teams offensive coordinator and served in the same capacity with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver

Broncos and Oakland Raiders. Fassel was also the offensive coordinator to the Baltimore Ravens for the 2004 and 2005

seasons. He began his coaching career as an offensive coordinator at the University of Utah and Stanford University before

being elevated to head coach at Utah. Fassel took a break from coaching when he was hired as color commentator on NFL

Sunday Night Game broadcasts for the Westwood One Radio Network and also served as a color analyst on ESPN. The

recipient of numerous awards including the 2000 NFL Coach of the Year by the Sporting News, NJ Sports Writers Association

and the Victor Awards Pro Football Coach of the Year, Fassel has also been honored for his work off of the field. He

received the Catholic Big Brothers of the Year Award (1998), the Fresh Air Fund Man of the Year (1999) and the Long Beach

State University Distinguished Alumnus Award (2001).

SOONER THE BETTER

With the addition of linebacker Teddy Lehman, the Las Vegas Locos now have five players on their roster that played

college for the Oklahoma Sooners. Lehman was with the Sooners from 2000-2003 and was named Big 12 Defensive Player


3/14

of the Year in his senior season. The other Locos that played for Oklahoma include defensive back Lewis Baker, linebacker

Brandon Moore and offensive linemen Brandon Braxton and Brandon Walker. Moore and Lehman joined forces during

their time at Oklahoma and were part of a strong linebacker unit.

EXPERIENCED LINEBACKING CORPS LEADS THE WAY FOR HUNGRY LOCOS DEFENSE

The Locos defense is led by an experienced linebacker unit in the 2010 season. The three initially projected starting

linebackers combine for 16 years of NFL experience and Teddy Lehman adds five more years to the mix. Lehman and

Brandon Moore anchored the Locos defense last year and this year Las Vegas adds another six years of NFL experience with

Las Vegas native Ed Hartwell. Former Kansas City Chief and Cleveland Brown Kris Griffin is projected to start alongside

Hartwell and Moore, and the addition of Lehman gives the Locos a lot of depth at the position.

PLAYER NFL YEARS GAMES TOT-SOLO SACK FF INT

Brandon Moore 6 (49ers) 88 244-176 15 5 1

Ed Hartwell 6 (Ravens, Falcons) 77 400-277 7 5 1

Teddy Lehman 5 (Lions, Bills) 45 150-105 1 2 2

Kris Griffin 4 (Chiefs, Browns) 46 40-34 0 0 0

LOCOS ROSTER FEATURES NFL EXPERIENCE

The Locos feature 25 players that have NFL experience. The team includes eight players that were drafted by NFL teams,

with Teddy Lehman being the highest draft pick. He was picked up by the Detroit Lions as the 37th

overall selection in the

2004 NFL draft. The Locos players average 3.8 years of NFL experience.CONSISTENCY IS KEY

With the addition ofDeDe Dorsey, the Las Vegas Locos are returning 30 players from the 2009 championship-winning

campaign. The returners include 16 players that recorded at least one start last season.
