NFL Coaching Changes & Fantasy Impact, It’s Birthday Time - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/3

Jason Garrett, see you later. I mean, just saying Joe Judge Jason Garrett, and that was the leadership last year. Upgrade. Yeah, there's, you can go up. You can't go down. I think if they, and I'm, I don't have experience here, but I think if they brought us in, we would have been an upgrade. Oh, to the three of us. Yes. Absolutely. Who would be head coach, who would be offensive coordinator, who would be defensive coordinator. I'll take care of that.

I'll take care of the head coach. Yeah, that makes sense. Mike's on defense. Am I? Yeah, I think so. I think you'd be good at it. You better be ready for zero blitz every single play. Panda, go. Are you, Jason, would you be a run-oriented offensive coordinator or pass? We would probably never hand the ball off. Okay. If we want to run, we would throw a screen. Zero blitz. No, it was a disaster last year for the Giants. I mean, this is a.

Your one free agent signing fell on his face. Sequin Barclay, his future seems murky. Daniel Jones is being talked about with some level of hope because they don't have a choice.

Well, and that is their hope. Their hope is all in Daniel Jones. Let's fix him. And Brian Dable is your best chance to do it. He has, he being Daniel Jones, has shown enough flashes, enough tools. He's not a bad quarterback. He has not been good for the franchise. He has been injured a lot and hasn't had the weapon. So the hope is what you saw in Josh Allen, those first couple years being inaccurate, kind of raw tools, flashes, but not a good quarterback. And Brian Dable.

Being part of that process that really brought him to that next level, I think that's exciting. I totally understand this higher. I think it's an upgrade. But I worry a little bit about Brian Davel. It's not like he was, he just became an offensive coordinator and fixed Josh Allen. Here are his offensive yards ranking as an offensive coordinator from Cleveland, Miami, Kansas, Buffalo. He's been around.

His offensive yardage rankings were 32nd, 29th, 22nd, 24th, 30th, 24th, and then the last two years was superstar Josh Allen, second and fifth. Now, he was part of that. So hopefully he can play that role and make Daniel Jones special. But if we have to bet, you betting that Daniel Jones is going to be special?

No, I took issue to you saying he's not a bad quarterback. Yeah, you're right. I would worry about it too. Personnel problems and organizational issues. I'm not saying anything Giants fans, though, no. I don't think Giants fans are going into the year with a great deal of hope. Yeah, but at least they feel like they don't have Judge Judge. Yeah, they're not Dragon Judge and Jason Garrett behind them. I mean, you know what the worst move?

I don't know, Kyle, I don't know if this is the kind of research you really want to do ever in your life. But the whole, like, was the head coach long time, then fired, then gets kind of second pick-me-up job, Jason Garrett's situation. I don't think that can work. You know, Jason Garrett gets canned as head coach and then gets, goes, gets, I mean, Lovie Smith, I guess, defensive coordinator. Mike McCarthy? Well, a little bit TBD, but the Cowboys. Well, I'm talking about when you dip down into like a coordinator.

Right? Mike McCarthy went straight overhead coach. Gotcha. But I'm saying like Jason Garrett was left for dead and somebody wanted him. Yeah. And it was a one year goodbye. And I think this will be, I think this has a terrible chance to be a two year goodbye for Brian Dable at no fault of his own. Because if Daniel Jones isn't the answer this year, they're going to be bad this year. And then what are they going to do? They're going to replace them.

with a rookie. And they're going to be bad the next year. And after two terrible years, you just move on. It's just a bad position to find yourself in. And then he'll be a coordinator again. We should like write down the timestamp because you're probably telling the future. Offensive coordinator changes that were not head coach changes. The bills, obviously replacing Brian Dable. Ken Dorsey was the quarterback coach and the passing game coordinator for the same team, right? So you get stability. I think you brought up, you know, Josh Allen talking.

highly of him. Shouldn't expect any big changes to that offense. Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, I thought you were moving on because we were all in agreement. No, no, I left kind of a pause there. I was just looking at the next team. Let me fill in your pause. Is there a quarterback great? Yeah. Their offense will be fun. Yeah. The Carolina Panthers. Here we go. So hold on. This is the thing. This is what I'm talking about, right? Here we go. Ben McAdoo.

Oh, man. Macaddon't do this. Maca don't do this. I mean, what? I don't like this guy. Oh, man. We all know what this is, fellas. This is a Patsy. This is somebody fired. Ben McAdoo has been hired to be fired at the end of the year. Which he's happy with. Just in case it doesn't work out.

for the Carolina Panthers and match. I do not think he was hired as a Patsy. I think it was a bad hire based on swinging the pendulum. They had a guy with very little experience calling NFL plays, and they wanted experience. And then all the experience went elsewhere, and they were left with Ben McAdoo, who has a long history of being bad. Really poor play design decisions and decisions.

And then they don't have a great quarterback. So I don't think he's going to be able to be the Patsy much longer for Matt Rule. So during the coaching carousel show, we have learned one really important truth about coaching. Get a quarterback. Yeah. Yeah, this is a great coach. Great job, coach. You've got a great quarterback. Hey, guess what? Here's another one. Anthony Lynn replaced as the offensive coordinator after one year in Detroit after being a head coach. Didn't work. Ben Johnson taking over was the, uh,

The tight-in coach in Detroit and the offensive quality control. Oh. Was there enough quality there? I don't know. Before it went out there? How much can bench? I don't know. It's got to be a lot. He was the passing game coordinator over the second half of the year. We know it's golf, right? Yeah. We do know it's golf. It's almost nice to see it.

transition from a running back focused coach. That's what Anthony Lenn was his entire career to a passing coordinator style of mindset. That's what you want to see for the Lions. That's the only hope here. Packers and Rams both have new offensive coordinators as well, losing Nathaniel Hackett and Kevin O'Connell. So Adam Stinovich and Liam Cohen. Yeah. Okay. They are the new coordinators. Who's their quarterback?

Well, you've got good situations for both of those guys. So they'll probably be wonderful coaches. Yeah, well, if Aaron Rogers returns. Any fundamental changes that you see with those offenses? You know, Sean McVay is in control in Los Angeles. Aaron Rogers is in control in Green Bay. And LaFleur. LaFleur calls the plays. So these are two offensive head coaches that I don't really, I mean, we, you know, we just brought up the 14 years of an offensive coordinator behind, you know, the.

a Hall of Fame offensive-minded head coach. You just, whatever, replace. How many, how many offensive coordinators have been lost to the Sean McVeigh already? You know, like every year, it's like who's been near him? Andy Reid's dealt with that for a long time. You're fine. I don't worry about that. I want to be a, I want to be an assistant coach for a great head coach because one day I will get the chance. The.

Full free agency preview predictions are next week, but real quick, what do you want to see happen in free agency? Give me one prediction. Melvin Gordon to leave the Broncos. Go somewhere where you can be valuable like Arizona. I think if they don't bring back James Connor, he would be great for fantasy and then let Javante shine. Mike? I want to see Deer and his Johnson get an actual shot. I liked that. I saw that. Like that dude, it's a very, very small sample, but the fact that in those.

few games where he's had to be the guy. He has dominated. Like, let this, let this kid get a bag of money. I don't know. It reminds me of a Rahim Moster type. Like, he's been around and he was so willing to, like, just do whatever it takes to get a job, get on a roster, hard worker, and then he's shine on the field. I don't think that anybody's going to view him as the signing to fix your backfield. And that's the problem with it. Like, I get it. It'd be neat. But do you think somebody's going to give him the job?

I don't know. It would be a great story. Go to Miami. And I think it would work. Like, I think Deerness Johnson is an excellent running back. And it would be a tremendous move for a, just for a franchise, because you wouldn't have to invest a first or a second round pick in this running back. You wouldn't have to give elite Todd Gurley money to this player, but you would get tremendous production from that position.

I'll throw Mike Williams back to Los Angeles out there. I'd like to see that happen. And then why not put Alan Robinson on the Chiefs? Let's see if he's got anything left. The Chiefs think they're in middle of the pack with some space. Honestly, that makes sense. They got to find a more reliable non-tirequil Travis Kelsey option. Do they? Yes, they do. I think they do. I mean, they've won a super. They've been pretty good with that. Yeah, but the time for Travis Kelsey. It's been years since they won a Super Bowl.

years. That's true, two of them. I don't know. I think when you watch that offense in the stagnation at certain parts of the year, I'd love to just blame Clyde de Salare for that, but it's not just that. I mean, when Sammy was there, I think they were better. Do you think that Alan Robinson today is better than the Sammy Watkins that was on those chiefs teams? Yes. No, maybe, probably. Perhaps. I don't know that he's better than Brian Pringle now. Okay, that's fair.

So once you pop. You don't stop. All right, that'll do it for today's show. Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
