NFL Coaching Changes & Fantasy Impact, Just Sayin’ - Fantasy Football Podcast

Because they were the entire office. I mean, they didn't, Fitzpatrick didn't throw it to anybody else. But I'm with Andy. I like this. I have some optimism here. Yes, we all fully expect Miami to grab a rookie in the draft. Maybe they get to a, but at least we should start out the year with some sweet fantasy production. Ryan Fitzpatrick doing it again. Yeah, I think that they, you could see some improvement quickly in Miami.

Just from a wins and losses perspective, they got 14 draft picks coming into this year. They obviously performed well at the back end of the year, the devastating defeat of the Patriots that cost them the buy. Chan Galey, Mike Clay tweeted about how heavy he was on four wide receiver sets the last time we saw him. 2015, 2016, he was running four wide receiver sets, 51% of the time, 46% of the time. Three wide receiver sets, 89, 86% of the time.

He's an old guy, but he likes to, he likes to wing it. And when you have a quarterback like that, put yourself in that position where you can. Well, and it speaks to using the personnel because, yeah, he was crazy four wide receiver set. But if you remember back to those teams with the Jets, they didn't have a tight end. I mean, it was, Jeff Cumberland was their leading tight end. And so he took the pieces that he had. So it's going to be interesting with Gassiki.

Because he is one of the... That's Dr. Strange, right? That's right. Yeah. I missed something. I don't understand the reference. I'm just agreeing, hoping that. I think it was a Cumberbatch joke. Oh. I'm acting as though I didn't make the joke, and I am investigating who did. I will get back to you when I... When I figure out who actually made it, I will let you know. Wow. It was in my ear. Brooks told me to say it. Yeah. Brooks, you fired.

I'll see you tomorrow. A Cumberbatch joke. Oh, man, from Cumberland. Oh. It's not good. It's March, though. It's good for March. He's just saying. You don't compare this show in March to this show in August. Okay? Yeah, we are important. We are in off season. We're in the off season. We're not even, we're like working out separately. We're not even at the team facility right now. I think the biggest takeaway is essentially.

Chang Galey has worked with Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's clear that he's going to be the starter because they're bringing him in and he's going to let him fly. He's going to let him go. He won't clip his wings. The first season that he had, you know, with him with the Jets, it was 4,000 yards, 31 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and, you know, was great. So this is going to be fun. I'm excited for the Dolphins and they didn't have a running game to speak of then. I think it was like Chris Ivery.

But Ivory and Bilal Powell both had fantasy success under daily. They threw to Bilal Powell a lot. All right. In Minnesota, Stefansky, he's out, new head coach of the Browns. Gary Kubiak. Cubs. Coobes is back. He's been in the National Football League 49 years. He's so good. And he should be a head coach of a National Football League team. I believe it. He stepped down.

years ago, but he's phenomenal. And when, you know, when you look at the history of guys that have been in the league for a long time, usually you've got some good, some bad, some, but when you look at his history in the running game, he's just phenomenal. His teams run the ball well. When you add to the fact that you've got Dalvin Cook, you saw what Coob's coming in this last year did with the Vikings running game. I am, you know, Dalvin Cook's locked in as a top five.

guy to me in my rankings for next year. Yeah. Somebody asked on Twitter, would they trade Dalvin Cook for the 105? I was like, no, you don't do that. What do you think? Even in this draft class, not for the 105. I think I'll take Dalvin Cook. I mean, we just talked about having the known commodity of the veteran. I don't think I would trade Dalvin Cook for the 101. I mean, Jonathan Taylor looks great. Maybe he goes somewhere great and maybe he is better.

But Dalvin Cook's, what more do you want than a guy who's already done it, proven it? He's got the, you know, the role. He's got Coobes. DeAndre Swift takes offense to you, always presuming Jonathan Taylor's the number one pick. Sure. Look, if Swift goes to the Chiefs, that will be changed. He will be by 101. What about Thielen and Diggs, the implications for them under Kubiak? Do you, I mean, you see more of what you saw last year where the targets were way down from 2018?

Is Dick's even going to be there? Oh, I don't know. We had that photo going around the interwebs. It's such an Antonio Brown thing to do. Yeah, but it's good because it's Arizona Cardinals. There's a photo of him working out in a Cardinals shirt because he wants... Why would you do that? He would do that because he wants to go to the Cardinals. That's what AB would do. He's like, oh, I want to come play with Brady, so I'm going to warm up in a Patriot shirt. That's such an AB type of thing to do.

Uh, Mr. Diggs. And all he does is tweet in four words. Hold on. Hold on. Jason's dock. Uh, Mr. Diggs, you are welcome here in Arizona with open arms and look, Coobes. I know you want to run the ball well. Can we interest you in some David Johnson? Oh, no. I'm just saying we're going to have to make some trade. I just said it. I'm not saying, but I just said it. Philadelphia, no more offensive coordinator.

No one's replacing Mike Groh. They determined that nothing was better than Mike Crow. That's not good. They're not going to utilize the offensive coordinator title. All right then. It's definitely cheaper. Nothing is cheaper than something. Now does Peterson then just like, does he absorb that salary? Probably. Like, man, if I was a head coach, I would have. Andy Reeves been absorbing salaries for a long time. No.

defensive coordinator. It would just be me. I'd be stressed, but I'd be rich. Oh, it would be a one year ride, but I would make $50 million. Yeah, you know, this is, this is one of the interesting situations where ever since the Super Bowl title and the Doug Peterson could do no wrong, it has been a slippery slide down the hill from there. And I think he's going to have real question. If he doesn't get.

the team performing well this season, especially on offense. You're talking about the playoff team? Yeah. No, I don't disagree. I don't disagree with you. Did they have above 500 record and make the playoffs? I don't. I didn't either hear nor there. It was the NFC least. Remember I saw the future? I told you they get to the playoffs. Hmm, I think it was a Super Bowl that you saw. Yeah, they were 9 and 7. Oh, all right. You know, but, you know, since.

really Frank Reich left. It's like, who, you know, have you looked at Doug Peterson the same as in this great offensive, just genius? It hasn't felt that way. So it's interesting to me. There's been so many injuries, I think, that people look to. Yeah, and then. Or at least that's what I look to. Well, and it's true. I mean, last year, they lost all their wide receivers. They lost the running backs at times. Tight ends at times. Yeah, it was, it was not good. But I feel like he could use.

Another guy. I mean, he's shown well when he has a good coordinator with him. So it's just surprising to me that. But he was much, he was like McVeigh. I mean, the figurehead situation where he was calling a lot of the plays and the offense and you just talked about it with Nagy and, you know, maybe it was just not worth doing the dance of having somebody else to powwow with. I guess it's good in the sense that if you can't find the right person.

it would be better. If I was Doug Peterson and I believe in my skill set, if I can't find the person that I'm confident is exactly who I want to work with and make things better, then maybe he's doing the right thing. Yeah. So are you saying we don't need a producer? Wow, man. We're going to have to figure out if he comes in tomorrow. Welcome back, by the way. I'll see you tomorrow. All right. We figured it out. I'm just joking. I love you. You're the number one judge in my heart, Brooks.
