KEY GAME INFORMATION
CLEVELAND: The Cleveland Gladiators had arguably the most magical run in the history of the Arena Football League two seasons ago when they went from doormats to the penthouse, a 17-1 season capped off with a trip to the ArenaBowl. The Gladiators came up a game short of their goals that year by losing to Arizona, and the 2016 season ended up being a little more disappointing at just 7-9.
With 2015 Assistant Coach of the Year Ron Selesky now in charge of the roster, a huge overhaul, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, has Cleveland back in the saddle as a legitimate contender to perhaps host the ArenaBowl for the second time in the last three seasons.
Who's In?
For as talented as his defense was a season ago, Selesky knew that he needed to add some experience to his young guys. Darryl Cato-Bishop, Arness Ikner, Alvin Ray Jackson, Rayshaun Kizer, Willie McGinnis, Terence Moore and Kent Richardson are all players with at least three years of AFL experience, and they are expected to step in and bring some of the confidence that only comes from having actual game reps. Kizer was the best of the haul even though his interception numbers have tapered off in recent years. He is still largely regarded as one of the top cover men in the League.
Brandon Thompkins, arguably one of the most valuable wide receivers and kick returners from last season, has also changed addresses, joining McGinnis, Moore, Richardson, C.J. Cobb and Larry Brackins in their moves from Orlando to Cleveland.
Who's Out?
One of the top rookie defenders from a season ago, Joe Powell is now in the NFL with the Bills. It's a big loss for the Gladiators, as Powell picked off five passes last year and returned three of them for scores, but with all of the veterans who are coming to Cleveland, Powell probably won't feel missed.
A potentially sticky situation is brewing at the quarterback spot should anything happen to Arvell Nelson. Nelson started the season as the backup quarterback last year, first to Chris Dieker, then to Dennis Havrilla, but he took over in May and threw for 70 TDs with 11 more on the ground. Should anything happen to Nelson, Dieker and Havrilla are both gone. Veteran Shane Boyd was brought in to be the team's backup after serving behind Nick Davila in Arizona, while Tanner Marsh will also have a chance to compete for the backup role.
Who's Back?
Quentin Sims busted onto the scene last year for the Gladiators. He proved to be great around the end zone, scoring TDs on 27 of his 92 receptions. Collin Taylor finished seventh in the League last season with 1,437 yards, and the combination of these two with Brackins and Thompkins could make this one of the most dangerous receiving corps in the AFL.
BALTIMORE: It would be fair to look at the Baltimore Brigade as the little brothers of the Washington Valor. They're Ted Leonsis' second team in the Arena Football League, and they got off to a much later start in the process than the Valor did. However, Omarr Smith has assembled quite a talented bunch, and if the Brigade have found a gem in Shane Carden at the quarterback position, this could end up being the surprise team in the AFL in 2017.
Offensive Outlook
It's obvious to point the finger at the quarterback spot for the Brigade. Whereas the other four presumptive starting quarterbacks in the AFL are true veterans of the game , Carden is a rookie and is going to be tasked with leading this offense right out of the chute.
Baltimore's receivers aren't the biggest in the AFL, but it does have one of the true standouts of the League in Reggie Gray. Gray was, at times, a little lost in Jacksonville's crowded offense last season, but he should be the showcase receiver on this team this year, and it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up leading the League in many receiving categories by the time this campaign is said and done.
Keep an eye on the offensive line for the Brigade as well. They only have two players with any AFL experience up front, though do note that Rory Nixon played for Smith last season in LA and was a threat as a receiver and a runner.
In many respects, this Baltimore offense looks awfully similar to the one that Smith had with the KISS, and he was able to develop both Nathan Stanley and Pete Thomas with the help of a veteran receiver, in that case, Donovan Morgan.
Defensive Outlook
Baltimore is going to win its games on the defensive side this year. Calvin Fance, Dexter Davis, K.C. Obi and Khreem Smith are all pass rushers with a great attitude, and it wouldn't be shocking if this club ended up leading the AFL in sacks as a result.
Keep an eye on Varmah Sonie and Brandon Stephens in the secondary as well. These two men helped make Orlando's defense last season, and Sonie in particular is incredibly special with his 47 PBUs and 19 INTs in his three-year career.
