Pat O’HARA HEAD COACH/OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

Pat O’Hara enters his third season as the head football coach of the New Orleans VooDoo, and in his first season with the VooDoo, O’Hara has guid- ed the franchise to the playoffs for only the second time in team history in 2012, and did so with 13 rookies on the active roster. As a head coach in the AFL, this postseason go- round is O’Hara’s third straight.

Not only did O’Hara resurrect the VooDoo franchise from a dismal 3-15 in 2011, but he dropped a bomb on the team record books, setting new single- season team records passing yards (5,190), passing (108), touchdowns (145), points (979), and (36).

O’Hara also has molded another young in Kurt Rocco, with Rocco becoming the VooDoo’s first passer to toss for over 5,000 yards and 100 touchdowns in a season. O’Hara also had three receivers record over 1,000 yards receiving, which the VooDoo had never had more than one receiver tally over a 1,000 prior to his tutelage.

O’Hara previously headed up the for two seasons prior to joining the VooDoo – both seeing the team go to AFL Playoffs. In fact, his 2010 squad was two points away from going to the ArenaBowl, losing to his quarterback protégé and the , 63-62.

O’Hara’s 2011 team posted an 11-7 regular season record, and set new team records in points per game (55.6), while scoring over 70 points twice that included a franchise record 85 in a win over Tulsa.

Orlando quarterback blossomed under O’Hara in 2011, completing 67 percent of his passes, while also setting new franchise records in (5,149), passing yards (4,758), pass completions (387) and passing touchdowns (97). Hill’s total offense and passing yards numbers led the AFL.

Also, three of Hill’s top receivers finished the season with over 100 catches and 1,000 yards receiving each, which included who tied ’s single-season record of 33 receptions.

The AFL great’s quarterbacking career began between the walls in 1995 with the Predators, and before it ended, O’Hara would lead two different teams to

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 6 COACHING STAFF (cont’d) five that included claiming the crown three times.

The majority of his playing career was with Orlando, spending six seasons with the club that saw the Predators claim ArenaBowl Championships in 1998 and 2000.

O’Hara then ventured off to the Toronto Phantoms in 2001, guiding the team to the second round of the playoffs in just his first season under center.

After two seasons north of the border, O’Hara returned to the Sunshine State to suit up with the Tampa Bay Storm in 2003. In that season, O’Hara came off the bench to lead the Storm to an ArenaBowl victory over the after starter went down with an injury in the second quarter of the championship game. The Storm won ArenaBowl XVII thanks to turnover-less relief by O’Hara, accounting for three total touchdowns that included 103 yards passing while completing 7-of-13 passes in the 43-29 win.

O’Hara remained with the Storm until the 2006 season, serving as a player- coach under future hall of fame head coach Tim Marcum before completely trading in the cleats for a clipboard in 2007 to become the team’s offensive coordinator.

The Storm went to the playoffs in 2007 behind O’Hara’s offensive genius that saw the development of Dietz, who went on to be named Co-AFL Rookie of the Year. Dietz completed a rookie record 65.3 percent (196-of-300) of his passes in his first season between the walls, while throwing for over 2,300 yards and 47 touchdowns in only nine games.

After the conclusion of the 2008 season, O’Hara was hired to be the head coach of the , but the AFL suspended operations before he could call a play. He was then hired to coach the Tri-Cities Fever of the ranks for the 2009 season, taking over a 0-5 team at the time. The Fever managed to win three of its final eight under O’Hara.

O’Hara also brings a wealth of high school coaching experience to the VooDoo as a volunteer assistant at Point Loma High School (San Diego, Calif.) in 1996, an assistant coach at New Smyrna High School (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.) from 1998-2000, and as the offensive coordinator at Olympia High School (Orlando, Fla.) from 2001-03. It was at Olympia where O’Hara coached NFL Pro-Bowl Chris Johnson.

In the offseason, O’Hara also serves as a consultant on movies and has worked on The Longest Yard, Invincible, We Are Marshall, and The Game Plan, while appearing in The Waterboy and . O’Hara is a graduate of USC, playing football for the Trojans. He was slated to start his junior season in 1989, but 10 days before the first game of the year, he was hospitalized with torn ligaments in his right knee and a broken leg.

The injuries hampered the rest of his career as a Trojan, and as a senior lost New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 7 COACHING STAFF (cont’d) out to freshman quarterback . Still, he was drafted in the NFL by the in 1991, spending one season with the team until latching on with the San Diego Chargers in 1992.

On October 6, Coach O’Hara added Maurice Blanding to his staff as Defensive Coordinator, and on October 12 Doug Miller was announced as Special Teams Coordinator, Assistant Defensive Coordinator, and Line Coach. ARENABOWL XXV – The AFL announced on September 29 that ArenaBowl will return to New Orleans for 2012 to celebrate the league’s Silver Anniversary. The city has pre- viously hosted ArenaBowl XXI in 2007 and ArenaBowl XXII in 2008, the last two neutral site championship games which hold attendance records with over 17,000 attending each game. KEY RETURNING PLAYERS – The VooDoo front office did not hesitate to resign several of the 2011 season’s major contributors who look to continue in the capacity in 2012, including WR/KR Skyler Green, DB Jerron Wishom, WR Carlese Franklin, JLB Alvin Ray Jackson, DB Jasper O’Quinn, and WR L.J. Castile. STARS ALINE – The VooDoo will look to significantly improve in 2012 with impact free agent signings in first year AFL player and former LSU star Marlon Favorite, eighth- year AFL veteran WR/KR Josh Bush, and experienced AFL QBs Kurt Rocco and Brian Zbydniewski.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 77 2012

Growing Pains The New Orleans VooDoo currently holds 14 rookies on the 2012 roster. All of the newly accounted for players are looking forward to making their debut this upcoming year. Of the rookies, three: Brian Coulter, Robert Henderson, and Andre Mathis are on the injured reserve.

Three-Year Trio This year the VooDoo has three players entering their third year in the AFL: QB Brian Zbydniewski, WR Quorey Payne, and OL Lorenzo Breland. All of the players have been with the team since training camp. Their experience will definitely put an edge on the team’s performance on the football field.

Louisiana Heritage Ten men: Rahim Alem, Brian Coulter, Marlon Favorite, Derandus Frye, Daverin Geralds, Skyler Green, Robert Henderson, Courtney Smith, Josh Victorian, and Jerron Wishom are on the 2012 roster and hail from Louisiana. These Louisiana natives are thrilled to be close to their home state.

O’quinn Out Defensive back Jasper O’quinn is out for the season with a knee injury. The Meadville, Mississippi native has two years AFL experience under his belt and hopes to return to the football field and become 100% healthy again.

Leg-n’ It Out, Anyone? The VooDoo have meshed well in all phases of the game thus far this season with the exception of the kicking game, and now turn to Gary Cismesia to handle kicking duties. Cismesia is in his rookie season in the AFL, having started the 2012 season with the Kansas City Command. He is the VooDoo’s fourth kicker this season.

Ending The Curse The VooDoo ended The Graveyard Curse on April 6 against the Tampa Bay Storm, winning 66-47. The win ended a 12-game home losing streak, dating back to 2008. The last win for the VooDoo in The Graveyard before their win on Friday April 6, 2012 was on May 30, 2008 against the Columbus Destroyers, 83-61. The 83 points scored still stands as the most by the VooDoo.

Where Have the 60’s Gone Scoring 60-plus for the VooDoo last season was a rare feat, in fact, the team only reached the barrier once in a 64-33 victory at Tampa Bay. However, the VooDoo scored 62 in its opening game of the 2012 season. The VooDoo topped that mark with 66 points in a win against Tampa Bay on April 6. The 66 points were also the most points scored by the VooDoo at home since the team’s 2008 finale against Grand Rapids on June 21 (L 70-86), until the 68 scored against Orlando (5.18.12).

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 78 Lonely Nights VooDoo FB Joe Alajajian and WR Greg Ellingson played at Florida International, united together with the Panthers for three seasons. Both players were banded again with the VooDoo, sharing an apartment together, but with Ellingson gone to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Alajajian has had some lonely nights at Magnolia Ridge.

Cleveland Connection Quarterback Kurt Rocco and WR Quorey Payne - former teammates with the Cleveland Gladiators - were in sync with each other in the VooDoo’s home opener. Payne finished with 130 of Rocco’s 314 yards and 3 of his 6 passing TD’s. Unfo- tunately, Payne was inactive the following two games due to an injury suffered on attempting to make the game’s winning touchdown grab, diving head and shoulder first into the end zone wall.

New Season, New Uniforms To start the 2012 season off with a bang, the New Orleans VooDoo unveiled their new uniforms for the fans to see in The Graveyard. The VooDoo will now sport an all-black at home with a dark red trim and stay with the traditional white top and purple pants for away games.

Candy Shop is OPEN The VooDoo welcomed defensive back Jamaal Fudge before the team’s game versus the San Antonio Talons (6.9.12), and placed DB Jorrick Calvin on reassign- ment to make the move possible. Fudge has three-plus seasons of NFL experi- ence, and started 2012 in the CFL with the . Fudge made an impact against the Jacksonville Sharks (6.30.12) by returning an onside kick for a touchdown.

Rocco’s Modern Life Kurt Rocco has improved the VooDoo this season at quarterback - the most important position on the field. Rocco has tossed for 300-plus in eight ooDooV games this season, and threw for a career-high 402 against Spokane. Last sea- son in Cleveland, Rocco only had three 300-yard passing games as a rookie, and already has notched 9 through 18 games in the 2012 season.

Down and Out Defensive end Robert Henderson suffered a season-ending injury (shoulder) in the New Orleans VooDoo’s season opener against the Philadelphia Soul - his first game in the in the AFL. Also, defensive end Brian Coulter (knee) went down for the season against Tampa Bay, suffering an injury to the team’s first defensive series. Henderson and Coulter hope for a healthy recovery and to return to 100% next season.

Don’t Mess with Big Joe Fullback Joe Alajajian tied the VooDoo single-game record for most rushing touchdowns with three against Philadelphia Soul (3.18.12). It was the first time a VooDoo player rushed for three touchdowns in a game since Dan Curran accom- plished the feat in 2004.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 79 First Time For Everything The VooDoo’s game versus the Milwaukee Mustangs was the first time in the franchise’s history that the team had two receivers record 100-plus yards receiving. Greg Ellingson had 142 yards and Josh Bush finished with 109 to do the honors for the VooDoo. The team accomplished the feat again against Tampa Bay with Quorey Payne and L.J. Castile doing the deed with 101 and 100, respectively.

Happy Trails, Greg Ellingson Greg Ellingson made his mark with the VooDoo, having his best outing in the team’s game against the Utah Blaze with 11 receptions for 167 yards and 4 touchdowns. Ellingson also added 3 kickoff returns for 17 yards. Ellingson recently signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and finished his season with the VooDoo with 33 recep- tions for 475 yards and 8 touchdowns, he also finished with 9 kickoff returns for 50 yards and 4.5 total tackles on special teams.

Killin’em Kellem Rookie DB Jeremy Kellem has made a name for himself so far with the VooDoo, leading the team with 95.5 tackles that ranks 10th in the AFL. Kellem recorded his first career interception against Milwaukee and a fumble recovery in the team’s opener against Philadelphia, while also having an interception against Utah, Tampa Bay, and San Antonio making five-straight games with a takeaway. He also inter- cepted Kyle Rowley at Spokane, Orlando’s and Jacksonville’s Benard Morris twice.

Brutal Brutus Gladel Brutus’ first interception in the AFL went 54 yards for 6 points, coming against Utah in the final minute to seal the VooDoo victory. Brutus finished the game with 3.5 total tackles (3 solo) an interception and a pass break up - by far his best day in the AFL.

Welcome Back D-Rob Demarcus Robinson was activated off Injured Reserve before the Tampa Bay game (4.6.12), and the healthy Robinson burst on the scene with an interception on his first defensive series for the VooDoo. He finished the game with 4.0 tackles (3 solo), 4 pass break ups, and an interception.

Turnover Margin What a difference a year (and a coach) makes, huh? In 2011, the VooDoo were last in the League in turnover margin (-20); however, this season the team is No. 2 in the AFL in the category, sporting a +14 mark.

Rahim Alem Sent to IR New Orleans VooDoo added former LSU defensive end Rahim Alem prior to playing Tampa Bay (4.6.12). Alem has played the last four games, but was placed on the IR (neck) prior to the VooDoo’s game versus the Orlando Predators (5.18.12). After evaluation, Alem will not return this season, and a decision will be made on his football future.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 80 Kick The Tires, Light The Fires With both the VooDoo’s open dates burned, the team will be full-steam ahead for the remaining 2012 season - 12 straight weeks of football in the regular season.

Building a Castile VooDoo wide receiver L.J. Castile strung together the best two games of his profes- sional career against Tampa and San Antonio, including a career best 12 receptions for 131 yards and 4 touchdowns in a loss to the Talons. Over those two games before sitting out against Pittsburgh, Castile had 20 receptions for 231 yards and 6 touchdowns. On the season, Castile has 104 receptions for 1,196 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Here Comes The Payne Quorey Payne did the most with his fourth kickoff return of the season against the Pittsburgh Power, taking it 56 yards before being tackled at the 1-yard line. The VooDoo converted the return into points two plays later. Payne has been utilized in the return game to spell Josh Bush when he is asked to play defense due to injury or fatigue.

Afif In The Mix The VooDoo traded for reinforcements on the offensive line during the bye week, landing AFL veteran Patrick Afif. Afif stands at 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 325 pounds, and will help protect Kurt Rocco. Afif played to Coach Pat O’Hara in Or- lando in 2010.

Back on the Right Track Prior to the VooDoo’s game at Spokane, the team’s offense was on a steady de- cline, posting 279 at San Antonio, 247 versus Pittsburgh, and a season-low 172 total yards at Jacksonville. Also against Jacksonville, the team put the ball on the ground six times, and even though the team only lost one, it was a big one that resulted in a game-changing touchdown for the Sharks. However, the team had a change of fortunes at Spokane with an outburst of 411 yards on offense.

Sack Lunch, Baby After six games of being sack-less, defensive tackle Marlon Favorite got his first sack of his AFL career at Jacksonville (5.4.12). Truth be told, he should have had another one, but completed a desperation heave while he was being taken down by Favorite. He had his first multi-sack game at Orlando (6.22.12), finishing with 2.0.

400-yard Passer Despite the team’s loss at Spokane, quarterback Kurt Rocco tossed for a single- game franchise record 402 yards. Needless to say, it was also a personal-high for Rocco, while tossing 8-plus touchdowns for the third time this season.

Alajajian’s Rushing TD Record Watch Joe Alajajian has 10 rushing touchdowns this season, which puts him in second for most in a single season in VooDoo history. Dan Curran stands atop the list with 21 accomplished in 2004.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 81 Multiple 100-yard receivers The VooDoo franchise entered this season having never recorded two or more receivers with 100 yards or more in a game. However, under the guidance of Pat O’Hara, the 2012 squad has done it four times. In fact, L.J. Castile was 5 yards away against Spokane from having three receivers with 100 yards.

Accounting For Alvin Ray Alvin Ray Jackson broke his own VooDoo single season mark of 8 interceptions, set in 2011, after recording two interceptions at Georgia (6.2.12) and broke his own re- cord against San Antonio (6.9.12) with one interception. With two against Cleveland (6.16.12) and one at Orlando (6.22.12) and Tampa Bay (7.14.12), Jackson now has 14 on the season, standing tied at No. 1 overall in the AFL.

Kellem Leaving Mark On VooDoo Jeremy Kellem set a new VooDoo rookie record with 9 interceptions. Kellem accom- plished the task against the Jacksonville Sharks (6.30.12) by intercepting Benard Morris twice. Kellem’s 9 interceptions currently leads all AFL rookies.

Jackson Builds Upon Record Alvin Ray Jackson currently has the most interceptions in VooDoo history for a career with 22. Jackson led all jack linebackers in the AFL last season with 8, and currently leads all this season with 14.

Another Record for Alvin Ray Alvin Ray Jackson surpassed Chris Pointer (2004-05) to become the team’s all-time leading tackler. Jackson accomplished the task against Jacksonville (6.30.12) with his fifth tackle in the game; he finished the game with 7.0 - all solo.

‘X’ Going to Give it to You New Orleans VooDoo traded DB Leslie Majors to the Chicago Rush for DL Xavier Brown on May 28 - the AFL trade deadline. Brown joined the VooDoo with 6 sacks - one more than the entire VooDoo team combined at the time of his arrival.

Ageless Wonder New Orleans VooDoo wide receiver Josh Bush is having a career year with 105 receptions for 1,676 yards and 35 touchdowns - all career highs. He needs jsut 18 yards receiving to set a new VooDoo single-season record for most receiving yards in a single season. The 8-year AFL veteran is the oldest member on the VooDoo squad (31) and is having the best season of his career.

Almost Perfect... Although Kurt Rocco finished 21-of-24 passing at Georgia (6.02.12) and was three incompletions away from perfection, he was 18-of-19 through 3 quarters. Rocco was also not pressured in the loss or sacked, making him the true pocket passer that he is.

Worthy Canidates When the AFL selects its Rookie of the Year, VooDoo defensive back Jeremy Kellem and defensive lineman Xavier Brown will surely be in the talks. Kellem is 9th in the League in tackles (93.0) while Brown is fourth in sacks (10.0).

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 82 Can You Go Home Again? Kurt Rocco returned to Cleveland (6.16.12) where his wild and crazy ride in the AFL began. His homecoming got off to a rocky start, but Rocco guided the team to a comeback victory, winning 54-42 on the heels of a 26 point fourth quarter. The Gladiators were held scoreless in the fourth quarter.

What Can Brown Do For You? Xavier Brown recorded his first sack as a member of the VooDoo against Cleveland (6.16.12), and it could not have come at a more opportune time. With the team trailing 42-40 midway through the 4th quarter, Brown sacked Cleveland QB John Dutton for a 7-yard loss, and the ball was recovered in the end zone by Michael Janac for the go-ahead touchdown.

When It Mattered Most... In back-to-back games, VooDoo defensive lineman Xavier Brown came through with the big sack when the team needed it most. Following the game at Cleve- land (6.16.12), Brown came up big against Orlando (6.22.12), sacking Chris Leak with 10 seconds remaining forcing a fumble in the end zone, ultimately leading to a safety. Brown now stands with 10.0 sacks on the season, ranking fourth in the AFL this season and most among rookies.

Big Hands = Big Catches Courtney Smith has slowly but surely learned the arena game, and got his chance to show his stuff against Cleveland (6.16.12) when L.J. Castile was ejected late in the second quarter. Smith did not have an impact on the first half, but made his presence known in the second, recording all 7 receptions, 94 yards and lone touchdown in the final half. He followed that performance with 7 receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown, and 2 carries for 8 yards and 2 touchdowns at Orlando (6.23.12). Smith, a New Orleans native, is playing in his hometown for the first time since post-Katrina, having been a student at John F. Kennedy High School in 2005.

1,000 yards For the first time in VooDoo history, the team sports three receivers with over 1,000 yards for the season. L.J. Castile and Josh Bush have been in the club for a while, and welcomed Quorey Payne as the third member after defeating the Orlando Predators (6.22.12) in Week 16.

Rocco’s Records In the team’s loss to San Jose (7.07.12), Kurt Rocco set a new VooDoo record for passing yards in a season with 4,697; he now stands with 5,063. Rocco continued his assault on the record books the following week at Tampa Bay (7.14.12), throwing 9 touchdown passes to break the single-season touchdown mark and now stands with 101 on the season. He is the franchise’s only passer to throw over 5,000 yards and 100 touchdowns in a season.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 83 He’s Not Human; He’s a Piece of Iron... In the VooDoo’s loss at Tampa Bay (7.14.12), wide receiver Josh Bush was indestructible, going on to destroy the Storm secondary. In the process, Bush set new VooDoo single-game records for most receiving yards in a game (256), most all-purpose yards in a game (349) and tied for most receiving touchdowns in a game (5). Bush is 18 receiving yards and 7 receiving touchdowns away from setting new VooDoo regular season marks in each. His 1,676 yards receiving currently ranks eighth in the AFL heading into Week 20.

Who is this guy? Chris Duvalt made his VooDoo debut against the Tampa Bay Storm (7.14.12), and did not disappoint with 4 receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown, 3 carries for 3 yards and a touchdown, and a huge forced fumble and fumble recovery on special teams. He followed that performance with a 116-yard, 3 touchdown performace against Georgia (7.21.12). Duvalt was one of Pat O’Hara’s first signees, but was on Other League Exempt, playing in the CFL. Recently cut from the CFL, Duvalt joined the VooDoo.

Kicking it Smooth! VooDoo kicker Gary Cismesia connected on 21 consecutive PATs - a streak go- ing back to the the team’s Week 17 game against Jacksonville - before having it broken on against Georgia. He has been perefect his last two games...and now that we have made note of that, Cismesia will be jinxed this game against Georgia! Well, we hope not; however, its like a perfect game in - you don’t talk about it while it is happening for fear of the streak ending.

A Star Returns Former East St. John and LSU Quarterback Ryan Perrilloux returns home to play for the VooDoo in 2014. Perrilloux is most known, in Louisiana, for being released from the LSU football team in 2008 for violating team rules, but has since turned his life around and has played in the UFL and NFL. In 2012, Per- rilloux earned a Super Bowl ring with the New York Football Giants. Perrilloux will compete with Kurt Rocco for the starting QB position.

Learning from Legends The New Orleans VooDoo welcome first year coaches BJ Cohen and Damon Mason to the team in 2014. BJ Cohen played for the VooDoo in 2004 and 2005, making the All-Ironman Team in 2005. Damon Mason played 12 success- ful years in the AFL, winning three Arena Bowl Championships along the way.

With just 3 days to prepare for this exhibition game, the VooDoo planned to evaluate where they stood against a team that held the National Conference’s best record for the 2012 regular season.

The VooDoo started off strong forcing a Talon safety on the first drive of the game. However, the Talons answered right back with a couple of scores.

Former LSU QB Rohan Davey made his San Antonio debut by giving the Talons a comfortable lead with multiple touchdown passes.

Former New Orleans Saint Larry Beavers got things started for the VooDoo with their first touchdown early in the second quarter. Darnell Williams put on a show during his first ever professional football game scoring two touch- downs for the VooDoo.

Overall, this exhibition game was a learning experience for the players and a great opportunity for the coaches to make evaluations before cuts are to be made.

In the words of Coach O’Hara, “It’s time to get back to work.”

VooDoo Fall Hard To Sharks

NEW ORLEANS (April 12, 2013) – The New Orleans VooDoo (1-2) fell victim to the Jacksonville Sharks (4-0) on Friday night in the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in front of 8,330 fans.

Jacksonville scored in their opening possession. The Sharks were dominant defensively in the first quarter and were able to get to New Orleans QB Kurt Rocco for 1 sack. New Orleans could not get on the scoreboard early while Jacksonville continued to control the ball.

A sputtering VooDoo offense saw back up quarterback Zack Eskridge make his VooDoo debut with a TD pass to WR Donovan Morgan to put the VooDo on the board down 35-6. The VooDoo offensive continued to struggle offen- sively despite the quarterback change.

Starting quarterback Kurt Rocco returned to the game to start the second half. Rocco managed to connect with WR Derek Lee for a 10-yard pass completion and a VooDoo score. The VooDoo defense managed to keep the Sharks to one score in the third quarter.

New Orleans struck quickly in the fourth quarter to trim the scoring gap. How-

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 117 ever, Jacksonville responded with a 31-yard touchdown strike to WR to maintain their dominant lead.

Although the VooDoo struggled on both sides of the ball, WR Courtney Smith led the VooDoo receiving corps with 8 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown. WR Donovan Morgan recorded a game high three touchdown catches while DB Eddie Moten led the defense with seven tackles. Kurt Rocco connected on 13 of 28 passes for 172 yards and three TD’s. Zack Eskridge’s brief appearance netted him 71 yards on six completions with two touchdowns.

The VooDoo struggled early on both sides of the ball. New Orleans started strong in the second half, but try as they might, could not put enough together to overcome the Sharks scoring advantage. The New Orleans VooDoo fell to the Jacksonville Sharks 76-30.

Second Half Surge Fuels Power Over VooDoo

NEW ORLEANS (April 19, 2013) – The VooDoo closes out their final game in the New Orleans Arena this season with a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Power, 46-43.

New Orleans (1-3) dominated the first quarter as the team jumped out to a 23-7 lead as quarterback Kurt Rocco tossed two touchdown passes, and VooDoo linebacker James Bryant sacked Pittsburgh quarterback Jordan Jef- ferson in the end zone for a safety. VooDoo kick returner Quorey Payne took the free kick 57 yards for a touchdown.

Pittsburgh (1-3) rattled off three straight scores in the second quarter as Jefferson tossed two long touchdowns – a 25-yarder to receiver Perry Baker and a 28-yarder to receiver P.J. Berry. Those scores sandwiched an 18-yard interception return for a touchdown by Pittsburgh defensive back Sergio Gil- liam. New Orleans closed out the first half as Rocco scored on a 1-yard run to make the score 29-26. Rocco finished the night 7-13 for 86 yards and two touchdowns with the interception.

The teams split the third quarter 14 points a piece. Jefferson opened the see- saw third quarter with a 14-yard touchdown pass to receiver Mike Washington to take a 33-29 lead. The VooDoo answered as quarterback Zack Eskridge checked into the ballgame and threw a quick strike to receiver Derek Lee for a touchdown from four yards out. The VooDoo’s receiving corps was depleted a bit by the loss of Donovan Morgan to injury in the first half. Leading receiver Courtney Smith was also a late scratch for tonight’s game.

Eskridge helped make it a ten point lead with a 1-yard touchdown run, but the Power pulled within three as Jefferson found Berry on a 47-yard touchdown bomb late in the third quarter. Jefferson had his best start of the season fin- ishing 19-30 for 223 yards and five touchdowns. He also carried the ball eight

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 118 times for 30 yards. Eskridge was 8-15 for 29 yards and a touchdown, but he was also sacked three times.

The Power took the lead for good when Berry scored on a 2-yard touchdown to make the score 46-43. The VooDoo had two additional possessions in the fourth quarter, but those led to a missed field goal attempt and a turnover on downs. New Orleans also wasn’t helped by three lost fumbles for a total of four turnovers on the night. Pittsburgh was penalized 17 times, but they over- came those mistakes with big plays on offense to notch their first win.

New Orleans loses their third straight, but the team will look for some “Dome Game” magic. They begin their six-game stint of home games in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome next Saturday (April 27) against the San Jose SaberCats.

SaberCats Claw Past VooDoo

NEW ORLEANS (April 27, 2013) – The New Orleans VooDoo (1-4) drop their fourth straight as they fall to the San Jose SaberCats (3-2) 57-38 in front of a crowd of 4,357 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Saturday night.

VooDoo quarterback Zack Eskridge got the start ahead of the injured Kurt Rocco, and he struggled out of the gate. Eskridge threw three straight incom- plete passes on the team’s first possession, leading to a missed field goal. The VooDoo took over after the SaberCats fumbled deep in New Orleans ter- ritory, but Eskridge tossed an interception to San Jose linebacker Huey Whit- taker, who returned it 10 yards for a touchdown. The VooDoo added three to make it a 7-3 ballgame. The VooDoo scored 14 straight points in the second quarter as kick returned Quorey Payne rattled of a 57-yard return for a touch- down, the second consecutive week he has done that. The VooDoo then recorded a safety, but Eskridge was picked off again on the ensuing posses- sion, this time in the end zone. The VooDoo defense struck back as defensive back Eddie Moten grabbed his third interception of the season. Eskridge later found Duvault for a nine yard score to make it 17-14.

San Jose countered with a 47-yard touchdown, a one-play drive, from quar- terback Russ Michna to receiver to retake the lead 21-17. The SaberCats successfully executed an onside kick after challenging the original call of illegal touching. The Cats turned that into a nine yard score from Michna to Whittaker to take a 28-17 halftime lead. Michna was efficient tonight, completing 23 of 35 passes for 312 yards and six touchdowns.

San Jose kept the pedal down as Michna found receiver Fred Williams on another one-play scoring drive, this one a 45-yarder for the touchdown. The SaberCats added a safety as Eskridge was charged with intentional ground- ing in the end zone. San Jose turned it over on downs and Eskridge helped cut the lead to 37-24 after a 1-yard touchdown run. Payne nearly broke off an- other return for a touchdown but was cut down at the San Jose 23 yard line.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 119 Eskridge was knocked out of the game after a roughing the passer penalty on San Jose. Eskridge finished the night 7-18 for 67 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Newly acquired quarterback Bill Stull checked into the game for New Orleans and led the way 8-14 for 97 yards and a touchdown. Simmons would find the end zone once more on a 1-yard run, and Michna connected with receiver Fred Williams for a touchdown to keep the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. Stull’s lone touchdown pass was to Courtney Smith as time expired.

VooDoo fans were treated to the team’s throwback purple uniforms. The team opted to go with the purple because of popular demand from fans and as a way to kick off their six-game stint of home games in the Superdome. But the purple jersey magic wasn’t enough.

New Orleans begins a three-game road trip against Tampa Bay, Iowa, and Spokane before they return home on May 25 to take on Chicago.

Storm Swirl Past VooDoo

NEW ORLEANS (May 4, 2013) – The New Orleans VooDoo (1-5) drop their fifth straight as they fall to the Tampa Bay Storm (5-2) 63-32 in front of a crowd of 10,114 in the Tampa Bay Times Forum Saturday Night.

Tampa Bay came out of the gate quickly with McPherson’s one yard run put- ting the first score on the board. New Orleans countered with a 9 yard touch- down pass to Smith, but Cismesia missed the extra point giving the Tampa the lead which they held throughout the entire game.

The second quarter was not much different than the first, in that, the Storm outscored the VooDoo 21 to 7. However, New Orleans put points on the board at the end of the half and on Stull’s one yard run.

The VooDoo were looking for a momentum changer as they would come out of the half with the possession. However, the VooDoo threw a pick on their first possession of the half which led to Tampa continuing their lead over the VooDoo 49-32.

The fourth quarter looked promising for the VooDoo. This quarter was the most productive for the VooDoo, which was comprised of touchdowns by Smith, Lee and another sneak by Stull.

The VooDoo look for their first win on the road next Saturday, May 11 against the Iowa Barnestomers.

VooDoo Lose Sixth Straight

NEW ORLEANS (May 11, 2013) – The New Orleans VooDoo (1-6) drop their sixth straight as they fall to the Iowa Barnstormers (4-4) 62-16 in the Wells

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 120 Fargo Center Saturday Night.

Iowa came out of the gate quickly with a 15-yard touchdown pass and a forced fumble that was returned for a second Iowa touchdown. The VooDoo cut the lead to 14-7 with a touchdown pass to WR Chris Duvalt. Iowa re- sponded with 21 straight points to close the first half with a 35-7 lead.

Iowa continued to dominate offensively and defensively, while the VooDoo struggled on both sides of the ball. The VooDoo managed to narrow the score to 42-14, however the Barnstormers responded with three straight touchdown drives. Iowa muffed a PAT snap which VooDoo DB Leslie Majors ran back for a two-point score. The VooDoo end yet another disappointing night on the road with a final score of 62-16

The VooDoo look for their first win on the road next Friday, May 17 against the Spokane Shock.

Balanced VooDoo Take Down Gladiators

NEW ORLEANS (June 1, 2013) – The New Orleans VooDoo snap an eight game losing streak to pick up a 69-40 win over the Cleveland Gladiators Sat- urday night in front of a crowd of 4,148 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The VooDoo (2-8) turn in their most complete performance of the season with big plays on both sides of the ball, leading to their first win inside the Super- dome. The VooDoo also enjoy a 4-0 all-time record over the Gladiators.

New Orleans took advantage from the outset of the game as they recovered the game’s opening kickoff. The VooDoo turned that into a quick strike as quarterback Kurt Rocco found receiver Donovan Morgan for a quick six-yard touchdown. Rocco connected with Morgan twice more in the first quarter as the VooDoo held a 21-13 advantage. Morgan had yet another prolific night as he had eight receptions for 127 yards and four touchdowns.

The VooDoo put up another 21-point onslaught in the second quarter. Rocco tossed three touchdowns to three different receivers – Courtney Smith, L.J. Castile, and a circus catch over the wall from Morgan. Rocco was workman- like and essentially mistake free as he was 22-31 for 250 yards and seven touchdowns. He threw zero interceptions.

Cleveland struggled with turnovers and protecting quarterback Chris Dieker, who was sacked five times, twice by defensive lineman Marlon Favorite. Dieker finished 27-42 for 239 yards and four touchdowns, but he also threw three interceptions. Two of those picks were returned for touchdowns – one by Castile and another by newly acquired DB Cameron McGlenn, who had two interceptions in the game. Receiver Dominick Goodman had 12 recep- tions, but he was only able to garner 85 yards and two scores, which led the way for Cleveland.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 121 New Orleans kept the pedal down for the rest of the second half as both the offense and defense each had two scores to stay well in front of the Gladia- tors who fall to 2-8 on the season. Cleveland had two rushing touchdowns in the second half, but the VooDoo never let up.

Tempers did flare a bit in this game as the teams combined for four personal foul penalties, one of which led to VooDoo defensive back James Bryant’s ejection in the third quarter. But that was not enough to deter the VooDoo’s efforts in a solid win.

The VooDoo will take on another East Division team as they head to Philadel- phia to tangle with the Soul next Saturday, and they return to the Superdome a week later to take on the Tampa Bay Storm.

One linebacker may blitz on either side of the center. Alignment is two-or-more yards off the line of scrimmage. No stunting or twisting. • Offensive motion: One receiver may go in forward motion before the snap.

TIMING • Four 15-minute quarters with a 15-minute halftime. • The clock stops for out-of-bounds plays or incomplete passes only in the last minute of each half and when the referee deems it necessary for penal- ties, injuries or timeouts. • Each team is allowed three (3) timeouts per half.

MOVEMENT OF THE BALL AND SCORING • Four (4) downs are allowed to advance the ball 10 yards for a first down, or to score. • Six (6) points for a touchdown. • One (1) point for a conversion by place kick after a touchdown, two (2) points for a conversion by drop kick and two (2) points for a successful run or pass after a touchdown. • Three (3) points for a field goal by placement or four (4) points for a field goal by drop kick. • Two (2) points for a safety.

KICKING • Kickoffs are from the goal line. Kickers may use a one-inch tee. • Punting is illegal. On fourth down, a team may go for a first down, touch- down or field goal.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 143 • The receiving team may field any kickoff or missed field goal that rebounds off the net. • Any untouched kickoff, which is out of bounds, will be placed at the 20-yard line or the place where it went out-of-bounds, whichever is more advantageous to the receiving team.

PASSING • Receivers must have one foot inbounds for a catch. A forward pass that re- bounds off the rebound net or sideline barrier is a live ball and is in play until it touches the playing surface.

OVERTIME RULES • Overtime periods are 15 minutes for both the regular season and the play- offs. • Each team gets one possession to score. If, after each team has had one possession, one team is ahead, that team wins. If the teams are tied after each has had a possession, the next team to score wins.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

BALL IN THE STANDS – When a ball is thrown or bounces into the seats sur- rounding the playing field, the “lucky” fan that catches the ball keeps it.

DROP KICK – A drop-kicked FG is worth 4 points. A drop-kicked extra point is worth 2 points. Spokane Shock kicker Taylor Rowan was the last man to con- nect on a two-point dropkick (7/22/2011 vs. Jacksonville).

IRONMAN – Signifies participants playing both offense and defense.

FANS – More than 26 million fans have experienced an AFL game in the League’s 24-year history. Last year, in 2011, the AFL drew 1,338,544 fans in the regular season.

“MAC” AND “JACK” LINEBACKERS – “Mac” may rush the QB straight on without stunting, twisting or drop-back coverage. “Jack” must stay within an imaginary box behind the line of scrimmage. Either LB may cover the fullback or tight end.

OFFENSIVE MOTION – Unlike stadium-played football, one offensive back may go into forward motion prior to the snap of the ball.

OVERTIME – Arena Football has a unique overtime rule. If a contest is tied after regulation, teams will play a 15-minute overtime. Each team will have one opportunity to score. If, after each team has had one chance to score, the game is tied, the first team to score is crowned the winner.

REBOUND NETS – Goal-side rebound nets extend outward from each upright. The nets are 30-feet wide, 32-feet high and extend to 40 feet above the playing surface. The bottom bars of the frames are positioned eight feet above the surface. The “scoring area” is nine-feet wide and 15-feet high. Nets are stretched taut so that a missed kick attempt will rebound off the net and back into the field of play. Once the ball caroms off the net, it’s live.

SIDELINE BARRIERS – Similar to the sideboards that surround a hockey

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 144 rink, the sideline barrier encircles the playing surface. The barrier is made of a high-density foam pad, measuring four inches thick.

STUNTING OR TWISTING – When a defensive lineman is rushing the pas- ser, there’s no “stunting” or “twisting”. In other words, linemen are required to power past offensive linemen.

TIGHT END – One offensive lineman must declare himself a tight end prior to the snap by simply raising his arm and “declaring” himself a tight end. The Mac (rush-eligible) linebacker must line-up on the opposite side of the center from the tight end.

TWO-WAY PLAYERS – One of the most “throwback” features of the Arena Football League is the fact that the game features eight-on-eight football, where at times, some players will play both offense and defense.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

ROSTER LIMITS From the first day the League allows the signing of free-agent players until the first league-sanctioned cut-down date, teams are prohibited from having more than 35 players on their roster.

New Orleans VooDoo Pre-Season Media Guide 2014 150 AFL INFORMATION

COMMISSIONER JERRY B. KURZ

Jerry B. Kurz returns for his 28th season of Arena Football and third season as the AFL’s Commis- sioner. Out-tenured only by the creator of Arena Football, Jim Foster, Kurz has dedicated his life to furthering the sport with a strong business ethic and core values meant to bring the highest quality product to the ever-growing fan base of arena football fans.

In his time as the president of the af2, the league saw extensive growth in small-to-mid sized mar- kets, building an extremely dedicated fan base across the country. That foundation helped to fuel the return of the Arena Football League in 2010 after a year on hiatus due to financial instability. Kurz and a group of enthu- siastic investors arranged the acquisition of the AFL’s assets in bankruptcy court in late 2009 and revived the league in early 2010, fulfilling the promise that Arena Football would be played in 2010.

Kurz has also served as the AFL’s Vice President of International Develop- ment, where he was in charge of the League’s international exposure. During his tenure, he was responsible for administering the H3 Visa program, allow- ing international players to play for AFL teams stateside. He also arranged and executed all internationally played games for the Arena Football League.

Arena Football isn’t Kurz’s only claim to fame. He is also a founding member of Gridiron Enterprises, Inc., a sports consulting firm based out of Chicago. Gridiron Enterprises, consisting of Kurz, Foster and attorney William Niro, is the original founder of the AFL. Kurz has been a player, a coach, a general manager and an owner during his lifelong involvement with the game of foot- ball. He is also a member of four football Halls of Fame, including member- ship in the first class of the Arena Football Hall of Fame as well as member- ship in the arenafootball2 Hall of Fame.

Kurz attended the University of Oklahoma as an undergraduate and later earned his Juris Doctor Degree at Northern Illinois. Kurz is a licensed attor- ney in Illinois and operated a law firm with his wife, Kathryn Hall, for 20 years. Jerry and his wife, Kathryn, have one son named Matthew who is currently a football coach at Lake Forest College.
