All-America
Billed as a "pro" team in Tacoma, the Cobras
started recruiting players from all over the region promising paydays
with the Cobras and the Next Level Football League.
By the time the season was slated to kick off in
May, it was evident the owners weren't biting on the hype and the Cobras
along with the Blitz and Oregon Thunderbolts decided to tone it down and
form the Professional Developmental Football League. This semi-pro
league was going to play out the 2009 since and THEN be a "pro" league
in 2010.
The Cobras proved to be just another semi pro team
on June 27, 2009 when they opened their inaugural season with a lack
luster loss to the Thunderbolts 12-10, but rallied to win their
remaining 6 games and a 3rd chance at beating the Blitz for the PDFL
title. They did so at home 36-31 for their 3rd victory over the
Blitz and the PDFL Championship.
The Cobras took on the area Tacoma teams and destroyed
the remnants of the once mighty Bengals 83-7 and Invaders 60-0. A scheduled game
with Snohomish was called off by the Vikings over Cobra players being
paid to play and making the team a pro team.
The PDFL teams offered up little challenge except
for the Cobras road trip to Boise with only 20 players. The game
proved costly as the Cobras starting QB was injured and a perfect season
was wiped away. But, nothing was left on the schedule to present a
challenge and the Cobras won the PDFL again over the Bellingham Blitz.
Half of the roster was awarded "All-League" status.
A 10-game schedule was announced in January 2011
which included road trips to Boise and Salt Lake City but the California
games were canceled and replaced with WWFA teams Renton and Portland,
Bellingham left the PDFL for the WWFA and the PDFL season opener was
canceled when the Crush couldn't make it, thus beginning a trickle away
of players to other area teams like the South King Colts and Kitsap
Bears when it appeared the PDFL was destined to be a 2-team league.
The collapse of the Cobras season began in early June with the
forfeiture of a game by Umatilla. At that point players scattered
to PFL teams as playoffs approached. The home-home return game
with Boise was retagged as the PDFL Bowl III championship game, a full
month earlier than planned. The game was a laugher with the boyish
Buccaneers being dominated 40-7.
Even with GM Theo Hall stepping down and most of
the players leaving for other teams, Keith Jones announced via message
board games with an All-Star team in Tacoma and a January trip to
California to play the LaBelle League Champion. |
