Coach Talk

Eastside Gummybears
You know Eastside Gummybears, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 118.34 points through Week 10, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 105.7 we needed to win this past week!
Gurleys With the TDs
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Gurleys With the TDs. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 11. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed only 14 receptions.
