KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHILADELPHIA: There was never a doubt that the Philadelphia Soul were up against a mountain of a challenge in ArenaBowl XXIX. They were the decided underdogs in the game on the road against an Arizona Rattlers team which had dominated in recent years, playing in the championship game five times in six years. Yet no one told the Soul they were supposed to be intimidated or even fallible in the ArenaBowl, and they left Glendale as 56-42 victors.
The goal of the offseason for any team is to make your roster better, but in the case of the Soul, when you're at the top of the mountain, the goal is to merely replicate the success of the prior year. Not surprisingly, Clint Dolezel has brought back as much of the roster as possible from the 2016 season, and that arguably makes Philadelphia the team to beat in 2017.
Who's In?
Dolezel loves to incorporate his ground game into his offense, and whether it was Derrick Ross, Tommy Taggart or most recently, Jeramie Richardson, the Soul always had one of the top rushers in the League. This year, the fullback spot will be turned over to Mykel Benson, a man largely accepted as one of the best all-around players at the position. Benson has reached double-digits in touchdown rushes in each of his last four seasons, and he'll figure to reach that point again in 2017.
Who's Out?
Dan Raudabaugh has maintained his status as one of the elite quarterbacks in the AFL for quite some time, and he'll be the first to tell you a big reason for his success is his offensive line. Though Wayne Tribue is back to anchor that line this season, All-Arena linemen, Adam Smith and Neal Tivis are both gone. Granted, John Martinez was fantastic last season with Portland and Orlando, and he should fit in nicely at one of the guard spots, but if there's a potential bone of contention in a roster that is returning the majority of its roster, it's here along the offensive line.
Who's Back?
Seven of the eight starters from last season's defense are back in the saddle, and that's a great thing for a unit that led the league in interceptions with 25. Joe Goosby was initially picked up by Baltimore in the Brigade's expansion draft, but Dolezel couldn't stand to ultimately lose the man he refers to as, "hands down the best Jack Linebacker in the Arena Football League." Within weeks of the expansion draft, the Soul made their move, trading future considerations and a claim order pick to Baltimore to get its All-Arena Jack back.
On the other side of the ball, Raudabaugh is obviously the key piece to the puzzle. He's one of the nine men to ever throw for 600+ touchdowns in AFL history and with good health this season, he will likely become the tenth to throw for 30,000 yards at some point in the next few months.
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.
