Power add to their defense.

2011 midseason acquisition Terrance Taylor, a defensive lineman, will be staying in Pittsburgh for the 2012 season.  He'll be joined by defensive back Chris LeFlore, who played last year for the Dallas Vigilantes.

Terrance Taylor - DL
Taylor came to Pittsburgh in a trade deadline deal, and was a strong force up the middle for the Power.  He had several blocked kicks, an interception, and 2 1/2 sacks in shared duty between Spokane and Pittsburgh. 

He has good size for the position, at 6'1" 315 pounds, and he played college ball for the Michigan Wolverines. 

LeFlore was involved in 80 tackles, had 18 passes blocked, and notched 5 interceptions.  He also shined in the return game, with 22 returns for 447 yards and 2 TD's.  He should provide stability to the Power return game, which saw their best return man, Jerome Mathis, struggle with injuries last year.

The Power roster is shaping out nicely.  I like how they have addressed their secondary so far, but as always, there are still strong players out there that can solidify this group.

The Power open their season on March 9th against the Orlando Predators.  Keep tuned into the blog for the latest news and analysis of your Pittsburgh Power.
