Coach Talk

Salinas Surf Raiders
You know Salinas Surf Raiders, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 210.15 points through Week 9, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 143.92 we needed to win this past week!
OLD SCHOOL BADASSES
Unless OLD SCHOOL BADASSES wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 10. With only 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
