New Place twenty twenty three Head coach Changes. There were five new hires

on their coaching history, their NFL experience, what will mean for the offensive
talent on each roster, and also its impact on fantasy football. Which of
a week care about most? I always covered this topic each and every offseason
since NFL head coaches have a huge influence on how offenses are run, let
alone the outcome of stats, production, usage, game plan things of that
nature. Before I get to that, there were two five star reviews left

face new place twenty twenty three head coach changes up. First, we have
the Arizona Cardinals hiring Jonathan Gan, and let's look back at his coaching his
three in the NFL in two thousand and seven, A defensive quality control coach
for Atlanta two thousand and nine to twenty eleven, a college scout and professional
scouts with v then Saint Louis Rams twenty twelve to twenty thirteen, a defensive
quality control coach with Tennessee twenty fourteen to twenty seventeen, assistant defensive backs coach
with Minnesota twenty eighteen to twenty twenty, cornerbacks coach with the Indianapolis Colts,
and then, most recently, as we know him for twenty twenty one to
twenty twenty two, defensive coordinated with the Philadelphia Eagles. Since Gannon, based
on that lineage and coaching pedigree, has a defensive background, it will be
important for the Cardinals to hire an OC with plenty of experience and creativity.
To this point, and OC has not been brought on for the Cardinals by
the time you're listening, that could change regardless whoever that is that is hired
on to compliment Jonathan Gannon underneath him as an OC, it needs to be
someone who's a fit for Kyler Murray and his skill set up to match a
personality. Since he's under contract with their zone until twenty twenty nine, the
franchise has invested heavily in Murray's services. Ideally, pace of play and more
new control game script will be implemented under Gannon, who has a defensive mindsets.
A better Cardinals defense will translate to improve field position for the offense with
more efficiency right and then as opposed to playing from behind and forcing Kyle to
push the ball down field, it will allow the actual game plan to develop
more naturally and lead to what should be more effectiveness across the board. Let's
look at a few specific players that could be impacted by the presence of Jonathan
Gannon, not to mention whoever thes a coordinator will be. We have Markis
Brown, who's twenty six in June sixty seven seven h nine three receiving log
in twelve games played last season, his first stint with the Cardinals. He's
under contract of twenty twenty four, could be the bibe receiver one for this
team, depending on next player, DeAndre Hopkins his status with the organization.
He turns thirty one in June, so already on the wrong side of thirty
sixty four seven seventeen three receiving log in nine games play last year. He's
u FA in twenty twenty five, but as we all know, has been
the subject already of offseason trade rumors or a candidate to be traded or even
released, depending on how creative Arizona gets with cap space. Hopkins should be
on a click contender. Arizona does not fit that bill at this point in
time. Trey McBride, he's twenty three, a twenty nine two sixty five
one rookie log with thirty nine targets. I like McBride a lot. This
is a loaded twenty twenty three rookie tight end class, but I think McBride
would be tight end one if not in that top two to three tight end
mix overaf you blend the twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three rookie classes.
James Connor is twenty eight in May, so he is getting up there in
age a one eighty three seven eighty two seven rushing line for four point three
yards per carry and forty six three hundred and one as a receiver in twenty
twenty two all in thirteen games played. He's under contract until twenty twenty five.
I do think that Arizona is a team that could allocate early draft capital
two running back because Connor has not had the best their ability no more Chase
Edmonds, Keyanta Ingram a deep sleeper. But for the most part, I
would think the Cardinals want to prioritize longevity a running back as a post too.
Bankon on Connor for the next few seasons, at least add some competition
to compliment him in the event that he's injured, and then zach Ertz reportedly
tours ACL and MCL in mid November with that knee injury. While he is
technically under contract it to twenty twenty five, I would not be shocked if
Arizona moves on and or brings him back extremely slowly. With Tray McBride flashing
on a stretch of last season, so Jonathan Gannon has a lot of work
to do. There is certainly improvements to be made on offense and defense.
He's going to bring the defense skill set and elements to the table, whereas
we need to see who is brought in to lead this offense. I think
Gannon will have an influence based on his relationship with Nick Sirianni on their time
together in Philadelphia. But make no mistake that Gannon is not an offensive first
coach. This is a different philosophy than we've seen previously in Arizona. Like
Cliff Kingsbury, Carolina Panthers hired Frank Reich quick overview of him as a coach
two thousand and six to twenty eleven. He was an intern and then offensive
assistant with Indianapolis twenty twelve, a wide receiver coach with Arizona twenty thirteen to
twenty fifteen, quarterbacks and offensive coordinated with the Sanio Chargers back then twenty sixteen
to twenty seventeen OC with Philadelphia, and then as we know twenty eighteen to
twenty twenty two, a solid stint there as a head coach with the Colts.
It remains to be seen if Reich is sold on Matt Carrell's quarterback one
for the Panthers, or if Sam Darnel will be brought back in as a
pending free agent. There's also the path or outcome of Carolina signing an available
quarterback as a free agent or selecting a prospect at one point on nine.
Overall, those are all possibilities. I hope it's Matt Correll, but that
cannot be necessarily assumed to this point of the offseason process. Player wise,
I view Dj Moore as yet again an advisable trade target this offseason in what
should be an improved offensive environment for fancy purposes in twenty twenty three. At
this point, we know that dj Moore isn't the elite wide receiver one that
we hoped for or that he was touted as it's more of a usage issue
than talent problem, but he's a study wide receiver two or that value is
achievable, especially considering that he is under contract with the Panthers until twenty twenty
six and remains locked in as the team's clearcutt wide receiver one. There's also
Terrace Marshall under contract with twenty twenty five and even labs chanaults until twenty twenty
four, who remain wide receiver two or three options on a depth chart for
Carolina for now unless Rich decides to bringing in a veteran or rookie talent,
which is certainly in play Carolina as you know from my previous content or episodes,
is one of my favorite running back landing spots of the off season one
where I see an opportunity for a legitimate prospect and or free agent two un
seats Chuba Hubbard, especially if the foreman walks as a free agent. Tommy
Tremble, I think is a deep sleeper based on how Reich utilized tight ends
in both Philadelphia and Indianapolis, along with the presence of presumed neoc Thomas Brown,
who is a former assistant head coach and tight end coach of the LA
Rams. So he's from the Sean mcvayh Tree. I'm sure there's a lot
of experience and pure knowledge from meetings and being around each other virtually every day
between Thomas Brown and Sean McVay. So that's a nice strong hire to lock
in an offensive mind to coach in Thomas Brown for the Panthers too. Compliments
with Frank Reich. Frank Reich does get his bad press or perception in the
meet ye based on how things ended with his ten yure Indianapolis. But he's
a solid coach that is a strong record of success in the NFL. I
think it's a nice landing spot for the offensive talent in Carolina, let alone
what could be brought in this offseason. So all in all, I think
right to Carolina is a win on paper. Denver Broncos, as we know,
brought in Sean Payton. Coaching lineage for him dates back to nineteen ninety
seven, with stops to the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, even Dallas
Cowboys before becoming the New Orleans Saints head coach from two thousand and six to
twenty twenty one. That is a long time to be a head coach in
the NFL. He did sit out twenty twelve due suspension. Outside of that,
Peyton has been one of the best coaches in the league for quite some
time and a staple in the franchise of New Orleans. The presence of Peyton
could salvage a Denver offense that was lost under the direction of Nathaniel Hacket in
twenty twenty two. That experiments outright failed and has fantastic news for the entire
supporting cast on offense. Let's go player by player. Russell Wilson is thirty
four. He had a sixteen to eleven touched on a pick ratio last season
while completing a career worse sixty and a half percent of his passes. He
is under contract with twenty twenty nine, so, like Arizona and Kyler Murray,
Denver is fully committed to Russell Wilson from a money standpoint, let alone
all the draft capital and players they've up to acquire him. So far,
Seattle has dominated that trade. There's plenty of time to turn around and Sean
Payton could be just the man to do so. Jivanta Williams is twenty three
in April, still very young. He is, however, coming off of
a torn ACL after only four games played in twenty twenty two. Apparently it
was not a clean tear like Breeze Halls, so it resulted in other ligament
damage for Jivante. That means it's an uphill battle to make it back THREEK
one, as we've seen with players like JK. Dobbins. Took him almost
twelve thirteen weeks to even regain that old form speed burst. But an RB
one seiling still exists. Unless the Broncos add significant running back competition to either
usurp and or compliments Givanta this offseason, that's something to monitor extremely closely.
I do think that Givanta's name carries more weight than actual value in Dynasty,
so he's someone you might want to sell high based on that perceive value as
opposed to what is actual world could look like. Then again, we know
that Sean Payden does like to utilize one to two running backs think Alvin Kamara
mark Ingram in their prime, so if Jamante is healthy, he should be
in the RB one rob two conversation at worst. Jerry Judy is twenty four
in April, enjoyed a mini breakout season in twenty twenty two with a sixty
seven nine seventy two six receiving line one hundred targets, not slay to hit
the open market until twenty twenty five. Corton Sutton is twenty eight in October,
so four years older than Judy sixty four eight twenty nine and two log
with one hundred nine targets a season ago. He's penciled in with Denver on
paper contract wise until twenty twenty six, and then Greg Dulsiz. He's twenty
three in March, delivered a thirty three four eleven two rookie line and ten
games played. Greg Dulsich is a rising star in this league. We've seen
it from his separation skills see instruction ability. He broke out early as a
tight end in his end of a career, and that does not happen all
that often. You could say that Dulsich is as or more valuable ready than
Kyle Pitts based on each of their respective price tag an ad which says a
lot about the Titan position you want to spend less on intriguing prospects, especially
in twenty twenty three, right with some of the bigger names as opposed to
purcasing them at a premium based on their hype, draft capital, or expected
production. As we know, nothing is guaranteed at a Titan of position unless
your name is Travis Kelsey or perhaps t J. Hockinson, George Kitto,
Mark Andrew's very short list, even Dallas Godder. But for the most part,
Titans a position that requires a lot of patients. Fortunately, Greg dolcich
buck that Trent and contributed very early on as a rookie last season. It's
time for a quick break and I'm back with two more new head coaches to
break down from a fantasy lens. The Houston Texans hired Damiko Ryan's, a
former NFL player that's always good experience to bring to the table twenty seventeen to
twenty twenty two, a defensive quality control inside linebackers and defensive coordinator with the
San Francisco forty nine ers. So, once again, like Jonathan Gannon in
Arizona, Damiko Ryans is a defensive minor coach first for the Houston Texans.
I do like the hiring of Bobby Slowick or Slowik as oc former forty Nineers
passing in coordinator. He followed Ryan's over from the forty nine Ers. That
system should be fairly similar. I expect Ryans and Slowick to take what they
learned from San Francisco and implemented into Houston and what could be a fast turnaround
with picks one or two and one twelve in the first round in addition to
a stable core of skill position talent and Damian Pierce, Brandon Cooks, Nico
Collins, John Mecchi, and one of my sleeper targets teaguing with Torriano at
tight end. Based on the resource in Houston has at its disposal in terms
of draft capital and cap space, which I discussed on a recent episode,
There's a lot that can change between now in the start of next season.
With that in mind, for now, I'm only comfortable really investing in Nico
Collins and John Metchi and to a certain extent, Damian Pierce. But Pierce
is more of a cell high for me because I would not be surprised at
all of Houston uses some draft capital to bring in another running back or two.
There's not much depth at the position for them, and Pierce did show
some of their ability struggles at the end of last season because he received ample
workload as a rookie, which is something that was not the case for Peers
at the college level in Florida. That makes you wonder if he can't handle
a full caliber workload ear in year out. I do think that Pierce a
talent is exceptional in terms of his tackle breaking ability, the explosion, especially
his vision. But when it comes down to it, if I can never
sell a running back there's a mid round prospect on film evaluation and actual NFL
scout eyes for an early to mid first and to our running back that has
a higher ADP. Because someone in your league is sold on the player,
then I would do so probably ten times out of ten. It's nothing against
Pierce or his talent. It's all legitimate. It's a matter of identifying market
opportunities and right now it's a seller's market for Peers in terms of capitalizing what
could be a lucrative return. Now Jamiko Ryan's should bring a different energy and
young presence to the team in Houston, then loveby Smith did, which is
highly encouraging. Think about the impact that younger coaches have made in the NFL
recently, like Mike McDaniel Miami, or even Robert Salo with the New York
Jets. Jamiko Ryan's has that sort of mentality, and as I mentioned,
the plane experience was a long way in RelA to your players. That's more
on the defensive side of the ball. But with Bobby Slowik as the o
C, these two have a good rapport and relationship already with the forty nine
ers, so they're going to take that and apply it to Houston. All
they now are more chess pieces to work with, and all of a sudden,
the Texans could be a force. And at one h two you have
to assume that if someone doesn't leap frog them with the Bears at one oh
one, that Bryce Young and ORCJ. Stroud is going to be at Houston,
Texan and change the direction of the franchise almost immediately. Last, but
not least, my favorite hire is Indianapolis Coast bringing on Shane Stike in twenty
eleven to twenty twelve, a defensive assistant with the then San Diego Chargers twenty
thirteen offensive quading control with Cleveland twenty fourteen to twenty twenty variety of roles with
the San Diego and LA Chargers, from offensive quady control to quarterbacks and then
interim OC, then, most notably as of late twenty twenty one to twenty
twenty two, the OC with Philadelphia, a big reason why that team made
the Super Bowl. Stiken mentored and developed to keep us in mind Justin Herbert
as well as Jalen Hurts in LA and Philadela the past three seasons. In
a sense, his impact or influence on quarterbacks is similar to that Brian dayballs
with Josh Allen and Daniel Jones between Buffalo and New York. Jim Urse has
already let the cat out of the bag in terms of the Colts intention to
draft the quarterback at one oh four if not trading up, and it's going
to be an ideal pairing with stike in based on his previous development with names
like Herbert and Hertz. With that in mind, now is the time to
trade four and stash Colts pass catchers. Michael Pittman twenty six in October,
impressed with a ninety nine twenty four line in twenty twenty two despite miserable quarterback
supports. He is a free agent in twenty twenty four, So twenty twenty
three is a huge season for Pittman, a lot of incentive to play well,
either get paid by the Colts with a new extension or testio market and
perhaps set a different level of income for himself on a new NFL team.
And then Alec Pierce twenty three in May he went forty one five ninety three
two line with seventy eight targets is a first year pro. I want to
make it crystal clear that he is one of my absolute favorite Bilow sophomores by
on size, speed ball skills, and his cost to ceiling ratio. Think
about it. A mid to light second or early third is all it's going
to take to acquire Alec Pierce right now for what could be wide receiver to
a greater value. If the Colts trade up twe on one, then they're
probably going to draft Bryce Young. If it's even weighted till one O four,
then a worst case scenario is you're looking at CJ's drought or Will Levis
no matter what way you spin it, even if it's a veteran commodity brought
in at quarterback, then suddenly the Colts will find a solution at quarterback that's
been a disaster for quite some time, and then even tight ends, why
not take some dart throws on Jolani Woods or even Kylan Granton, which should
assume that Jonathan Taylor will be back and healthy RB one form for twenty twenty
three. If the offensive line can improve or get back to old form as
well from health standpoints, the Colts are going to be one of the better
offensive in football. All it takes is a quarterback. Quarterback is so important
to an NFL franchise it could make or break a team for a decade plus,
not to mention its impact on the fantasy side of things, because without
a solid, consistent quarterback, it's going to hurt all facets of the running
game, passing game, and even a head coach's success or failure. You
have to believe that Shane Stiken knows the knowledge and resources at his disposal to
implement a similar system that he did for Herbert and Hurtz in Indianapolis with in
a perfect world, either Bryce Young or c J. Strout worst case,
will love us. Depending on how the Colds view each of those three names.
We won't know that till NFL Draft comes in a matter of months.
That will do it. Hope you all enjoyed my twenty twenty three NFL head
coach changes in all the details that followed. Quick recap. Arizona Cardinals hired
Jonathan Gannon, the Carolina Panthers brought on Frank Reich, Denver Broncos Sean Payton,
Houston Texans hired Damiko Ryan's and the Indianapolis Colts brought in Shane Stiking.
