I’m considering bringing my kids into the Fantasy Football fold. This might be the season we do a family league, draft, draft party, etc. It could be a really good time. The idea plunges me back into that world of stats and analysis and considering offensive schemes and defensive stoppers. It gives me an angle into the world of football that I lost by no longer coaching.
So, if this does happen who am I going to pick? Well, the Jenkins murder investigation sure raises some questions about the Giants defense. There were already lots of questions given the 3-4 switch and not knowing what we have at DE.
Offense is an entirely different situation. My doubt is melting quickly. I believe the Giants intend to do big things with the 12 personnel package. I’m a fan of the package–especially out of a pistol style or shotgun look. Of course the fantasy game is about picking individuals. It is about going team by team and figuring out who is going to shine. These are answers I don’t yet have.
Some Thoughts:
- I am in withdrawal from coaching. Full on withdrawal. I want to coach and have been doing everything but asking my kids’ team coaches to put me on and my partner to tell me I ought to. None of those things are happening and that is probably for the best. It doesn’t stop me from wanting it.
