This is WHTD radio bringing you your Hartford Grizzlies Pre-Game Show! Today the Grizzlies enter the Viper's Lair to take on the 4-5 Norfolk Vipers. The Vipers are the second hottest team in the league after the Grizzlies, with a 4-1 record in their last 5 games. Their one loss was to division rival Boston on a last second touchdown pass from Angelo Hairston.
To commemorate Thanksgiving WHTD has flown in a gaggle of turkeys which will be dropped during the halftime show, in recognition of the national service rendered by the naval servicemen based in Norfolk.
Back to the game, the Grizzlies will have their hands full with the Norfolk offense. Harold "Finger" Lozier has finally pulled his finger out of his nose, and led the Vipers back into the division race. They are 1-1/2 games behind Hartford in the wildcard race, so this is a big game for them. William Brown has revitalized the Vipers running attack, but he is running behind a depleted offensive line this week. Two of the Vipers star linemen are out with Vetter and Sanabria both on the bench nursing leg injuries.
The scouts give the Grizzlies advantages in every category except QB and those depleted by injury LB and RB. It is hard to figure out why the scouts have said that, because Marcano has revitalized the Grizzlies running game after Julian Schwab went out for the season with a knee injury. The linebacking corps has lost Tony Martin with a knee injury but rookie OJ Boyer has stepped up admirably. In his last three starts he has averaged just over 5 tackles a game. A very respectable number given the Grizzlies team concept on defense.
Finally, how can you argue against the Grizzlies at quarterback? Are we watching a future superstar develop in Jerome Mueller. We saw the beginnings of something special in Cleveland when he led the Grizzlies comeback that just ran out of time at the end. After that, he has led the Grizzlies to a 4-0-1 record featuring wins over league leaders Witchita and West Virginia. He has compiled a league leading 102.7 passer rating. In his playing time this year he has fired 9 touchdown passes while turning the ball over just 2 times. Can he lead the Grizzlies into the fifth seed in the AC race? We'll see in a minute as they are set to get underway in Norfolk!
