Coach Talk

EW Fleet of Feet 3
You know EW Fleet of Feet 3, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 201.3 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 136.34 we needed to win this past week!
Murcielago SuperVeloce
"Not getting many opportunities" won't be an excuse this week for Murcielago SuperVeloce. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and two TE) collectively got a grand total of 41 targets in Week 15. With just 21 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
