Coach Quotes To Decode

Eagles OC Kevin Patullo on Saquon Barkley’s Expected Workload:

“I think it’s very game-specific. It depends on how the flow of the game goes ... He does a really good job of knowing himself, when he needs to come out, when he wants to go back in … A lot of that will be on him.”

Translation: He’s not going to tell Eagles fans that the guy who backwards-hurdled his way into their hearts and put up 2,000+ yards in the process is going to take it easy this year. But running backs who touch the ball 380+ times (in the regular season alone) rarely get a HEAVIER workload the next year.

Regression is likely coming in some form or another. But don’t worry, our projections still have Barkley right around 290 rush attempts, if he can stay healthy.

Jets OC Tanner Engstrand on Who Will Be Their WR2:

“It’s up for grabs. Everybody's trying to win the job … They're all competing, and we're gonna let the chips fall where they may when it's all said and done.”

Translation: SOMEBODY HELP! SEND ADDITIONAL RECEIVERS ASAP! OR AT LEAST SOME THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Without Garrett Wilson, Justin Fields becomes that meme of John Travolta looking around for someone, anyone to throw the ball to. Will that someone be 30-year-old Josh Reynolds, who’s on his fifth team in as many years? Or will it be Malachi Corley, who broke THE cardinal rule of never celebrating a touchdown too early as a rookie?

Or maybe if Wilson’s not open, Fields will just rush his way for a 1,000-yard season.

Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer on their seventh-round rookie running back:

“Phil Mafah, I’m starting to feel him … I’m starting to feel Phil.”

Translation: He has no idea who’s going to actually lead the Dallas backfield, so he wants to hype up every running back with a pulse just in case. Also, he just learned Phil Mafah’s name that day.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam on whether he expects Quinshon Judkins to play for Cleveland, considering his legal issues: 

“I do, but we all understand due process … but yes, we’re cautiously optimistic.”

Translation: It’s Dylan Sampson season.

Saints HC Kellen Moore on a New Orleans QB Competition:

“I'm fired up to just let those guys play it out … We’ll let the process take as long as it needs … We feel good about letting all these guys go for it.”

Translation: Life after Derek Carr is about to get very weird in New Orleans. Tyler Shough was drafted in the 2nd round as an insurance policy, not as the expected starter. He’ll probably win the gig eventually … or this competition might stretch into Week 18.

Bears OC Declan Doyle on DJ Moore’s anticipated usage:

“I think that DJ is a player that you can kind of do a lot with … I think that you’ll start to see some things that are maybe a little bit different, in the way that we’re gonna use him.”

Translation: Hey, DJ, the Bears know they drafted some extra firepower for the offense, but they’re not going to forget you, buddy. Please don’t get mad.

But seriously, we’ve already heard reports that Moore is catching passes out of the backfield in training camp. And schemed touches are a nice thing for fantasy.

Giants HC Brian Daboll on rotating QBs in practice:

“Sometimes they don't even know when they're going in, or the offensive coaches don't know when I'm switching them either. That was a situation there at the end where Jameis was taking a rack, and I just threw Dart in there. Try to keep the coaches on their toes and the quarterbacks so they can practice numerous situations.”

Translation: In an effort to get off the hot seat and save his job, Daboll will make each quarterback start multiple games (or at least multiple halves of games) so he can use that as an excuse for why the team once again goes 3-14 this year.
