KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: When Dean Cokinos was with the New Orleans VooDoo, he featured a team that was chock full of younger players who were either brand new to the Arena Football League or still in the infant stages of their careers. In his first head coaching gig since that point, he has assembled a Washington Valor outfit that is now an entire year in the making. His team has just two rookies on its opening 24-man roster, and the experience of this squad gives it the potential to challenge for an ArenaBowl in Year 1.

Offensive Outlook
Perhaps the biggest coup of the offseason came relatively late in the free agency process when the Valor signed Erik Meyer. Meyer, who was last seen leading the 20-win San Jose SaberCats to a championship two seasons ago, is back in the AFL and will be the leader of an offense that features one of the most dangerous red zone threats in the AFL in Greg Carr and one of the most accomplished receivers the League has ever had in T.T. Toliver.
Roger Jackson never really had a home last year playing with the Sharks as their fourth (and sometimes fifth) wide receiver, but he should be featured more this year with the Valor. The man they called "Spiderman" in New Orleans scored 16 touchdowns in his rookie campaign with the VooDoo, and he'll have a lot of help with Toliver and Carr on the outside.
Defensive Outlook
Jimmy Gordon, the first player Washington ever traded for, could quietly end up being one of the stars of this defense. Gordon is a great pass rusher out of the Mack linebacker position, and with a solid defensive line in front of him including Everett Dawkins, Brandon Sesay and David Washington, the Valor should be putting plenty of pressure on opposing quarterbacks in 2017.
The real strength of this team though, is in its coverage. Bryce Peila is a former All-Arena Jack linebacker, and he has an uncanny nose for the football in the middle of the defense. Cameron McGlenn and Tracy Belton both played with Cokinos in New Orleans and should make up a terrific duo at the back, and that should give Terrence Smith the ability to rove around in the defense a little more and perhaps play some on the offensive side of the ball when needed as well.

Because of this important information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game.

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.
