ATLANTA (AP) — The new Alliance of American Football’s Atlanta Legends are winless after three games and last in the league in scoring.Put some of the blame on a coaching staff that keeps changing.The upheaval began before the season. Coach Brad Childress left in January . Offensive coordinator Michael Vick’s surprise exit came only two days before the season. More stress was created Friday when quarterbacks coach Rich Bartel Ryquell Armstead Jersey , who had been calling plays, resigned for personal reasons.Childress, an offensive analyst with the Chicago Bears in 2018 and former Minnesota Vikings coach, planned to call plays. Childress also planned to serve as a mentor for Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback who had no previous coaching experience. Vick is pursuing a new career as an NFL TV analyst.Bartel’s exit came only two days before Sunday’s home opener against the Birmingham Iron. Quarterback Matt Simms was left with little time to regroup.“I think some of the stuff we had communication wise was a little different with the situation we had to deal with this weekend,” Simms said after Atlanta’s 28-12 loss to Birmingham. “I don’t think that anyone really anticipated that our offensive coordinator would leave two days before the game.”That includes AAF co-founder Bill Polian, who attended Sunday’s game and clearly was disturbed by the coaching instability. Polian wouldn’t reveal how he planned to fix what he described as Atlanta’s “jumbled-up puzzle.”“It’s our job to help them straighten that puzzle out http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-gardner-minshew-ii-jersey , and we will,” he said.The Legends could name a new offensive coordinator this week.The reported paid attendance for the home opener at Georgia State Stadium, the remodeled former home of the Atlanta Braves, was 10,717.The upheaval, clearly, is not a good look for the new league.“Anytime you have the type of coaching turnover on a staff that they’ve had Christian Wilkins Jersey , it puts a burden on all the other coaches,” Polian said. “It’s disruptive, it disrupts the flow of information to the players. It’s disquieting to players. It’s hard.”Atlanta ranks last in the league with its average of 10 points a game. The Legends committed four turnovers and didn’t score in four red-zone possessions against Birmingham.Vick told The Associated Press on Monday his work with Fox TV through the Super Bowl prevented him from committing the time necessary to coach with the Legends, especially after Childress left the team.“Anything I sign up for and get involved in, I want to do it at the highest level and be the best at it,” Vick said, adding “the timing was sort of off” with the Legends. He said he will have a consulting role with the AAF and said “I would love to coach football at some point in my life.”Vick attended Sunday’s game and was introduced as a “legend of the game.”Simms played a combined four games with the New York Jets in 2013-14 and spent time with the Buffalo Bills and Falcons from 2015-17. He threw three interceptions and one touchdown pass against Birmingham while completing 28 of 48 passes for 328 yards.Fans chanted for Legends coach Kevin Coyle to bring in former University of Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray.“Hey http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-deiter-jersey , I understand the situation and the feelings that some people may have. … There’s definitely been some adversity our offense has had to deal with, our team in general has had to deal with,” Simms said.“At the same time, too, I think the team is doing a really good job of rallying together and understanding the situation and knowing that we’re doing the best that we can do with the hand we’ve been dealt at the moment.”Coyle was promoted from defensive coordinator following the departure of Childress.“I said to Kevin before the game, he needs a bulldozer to get rid of all the junk that’s been heaped upon his head since training camp,” Polian said. “Yes Garrett Bradbury Jersey , it’s disruptive but we’re taking steps to make sure that we clean that up and that it will be better going forward.”FOX Fantasy AutoForm a Racing Team, Compete for PrizesPlay Now! ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)The Buffalo Bills took the first step in restocking their quarterback position by agreeing to a two-year contract with A.J. McCarron.The 27-year-old spent the past four seasons backing up Andy Dalton in Cincinnati after being selected by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2014 draft.McCarron’s signing on Wednesday came a few hours after the NFL’s free-agency period opened, and five days after Buffalo traded three-year starter Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland. The trade left 2017 fifth-round pick Nathan Peterman as the only quarterback on Buffalo’s roster.General manager Brandon Beane said he intended to add a veteran quarterback this offseason to provide experience.With two picks in each of the first three rounds of the draft, Buffalo also is expected to target one of the highly touted quarterback prospects.McCarron was a two-time national champion at Alabama but appeared in just 11 games in Cincinnati, mostly in mop-up duties. McCarron did start the final three games of the 2015 season and led the Bengals to the playoffs after Dalton broke his thumb.Against Pittsburgh in the wild-card playoff game, McCarron had the Bengals in position to win their first playoff game since the 1990 season. Jeremy Hill however lost a fumble http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-irv-smith-jr.-jersey , and penalties on Vontaze Burfict and Adam ”Pacman” Jones set up the Steelers for a winning field goal in the final seconds.Though he missed his rookie season because of a sore passing shoulder, McCarron was allowed to become an unrestricted free agent after an independent arbitrator ruling last month. McCarron was also nearly traded to Cleveland last season, but the deal fell through after the Browns failed to submit the paperwork on time.—
