Key Re-Signings
C Beau Elliot (2010 2nd Team All-AFL, 2008 1st Team All-Rookie)

Overall, I think the Power should have a good year. They have some pretty good players coming in, along with bringing back some other key player, so I think expectations should/will be high this year. It should be playoffs or bust this year for them. In all their years in existence, if they were going to make the playoffs, it'll be this year. Jefferson should be the starting QB and IMO will do a good job leading the offense, with weapons such as BJ "Superman" Perry and Mike "Joystick" Washington. And with a good o-line commanded by Elliot at the center, I think it should give Jefferson time and should make some holes for the running game. And I think the defense will be just as good. Hopefully bringing in Alvin Ray will boost our defense. Your thoughts?
