The Sents and Locos will face off again on Friday to close out the premiere regular season. In their week 5 meeting, the Locos destroyed the Sentinels 41-10 at home, at Rentschler Field in Hartford. JP Losman went 27/37 for 277 yds and 2 TD. This was also Ingle Martin's first and only start, in which he was 21/36 for 173 yds, 1 TD and 1 int.
Now as most fans know, the Locos beat the Redwoods for a spot in the UFL Championship on Friday the 27th at 12pm on Versus, to take on the undefeated Tuskers. It is not known if Locos coach Jim Fassil plans to start regular JP Losman or rest him and start backup Tim Rattay. I do expect that Ingle Martin will get more snaps than Quinn Gray, if he decides to play, who left the last game early with a quad injury.
Losman is 2nd in the league currently with 1193 passing yards, Gray third with 601. LV WR David Kircus is 2nd in rec yards with 290, NY WR Craphonso Thorpe 3rd with 269 yds. LV LB Teddy Lehman leads the league with 34.5 total tackles, and DE Eric Henderson is T-1 with 3.0 sacks.
KEYS to the Game for New York:
-Contain Josh Scobey. He is known to be able to both take handoffs and go out for passes.
-Let Craphonso Thorpe run free. He's tall, he's fast. If he can get open it's an easy score; and let's face it, we need at least one BIG play before the end of the season.
-Good punt kicking/coverage. Scott Player is an average punter who we haven't seen pin anyone inside the 10 yet. In which case, Sammie Parker is known to have a good ability to return kicks for some distance, so we need to hold him back.
-If the running game doesn't work early-STOP USING IT. The Sents' leading rusher is LaBrandon Toefield, who has 111 yards, SIXTH in the league.
Also, BREAKING, TRAGIC NEWS: the Sentinels have waived K Piotr Czech, who we are quite fond of at the View. It was a stupid move, in my eyes, especially with one game left to play with no marbles on the table. They added K Taylor Rowan out of Western Illinois. And so this brings the end of an era, and the Prodigious Piotr column.
