1. GET TO JAY GRUDEN: The AFL Hall of Fame quarterback can take hits with the best, but even Jon Gruden's little brother will find it difficult to throw TDs if he can't see his receivers.
2. IMPROVE SPECIAL TEAMS: The Storm ranked among the worst kicking teams during the regular season and allowed Detroit to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in last week's quarterfinal win.
3. CONTROL THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: Detroit got the better of the Storm up front, sacking John Kaleo three times. With this game expected to be won at the line, Tampa Bay can't afford another subpar performance.
4. USE KENNY McENTYRE'S AGGRESSIVENESS AGAINST HIM: The Orlando defensive specialist has outstanding instincts, which have led him to second place on the league's career interception list. But his willingness to take chances can leave him susceptible to long touchdowns.
5. PRODUCE BIG PLAYS LATE: Arena games often are decided in the final minute, either by a go-ahead touchdown or game-saving defensive stand. For proof, look no further than the win over Detroit, which Omarr Smith's interception preserved.
Orlando Predators
1. PROTECT JAY GRUDEN: Given time, there is no more successful quarterback in the league, as his 11-0 record as a starter this season and four championships in Tampa Bay between 1991-96 attest.
2. AVOID TURNOVERS: If Orlando turns the ball over more than once or twice, the chances of the defensive-minded Predators keeping up appear slim.
3. PRESSURE JOHN KALEO INTO ERRANT THROWS: The Storm quarterback and his receivers haven't always been on the same page. The less time Kaleo has, the better chance passes will miss their marks.
4. USE PLAYMAKERS: Cory Fleming, Thabiti Davis and Travis McGriff combined for 240 catches and 66 receiving touchdowns during the regular season.
5. TURN THE CROWD IN THEIR FAVOR: Orlando hoped to bring 5,000 fans to the game and sold tickets through its office in an effort to keep them together. A quick start by the Predators could make the St. Pete Times Forum feel a lot like the TD Waterhouse Centre.
