From the episode

I think both those guys still get their targets neighbors and likely just as a head coach, it would be. I mean, granted, they've already done some irresponsible stuff, but it would be so irresponsible to go away from those guys

STACKED’s take

Likely maintains target role under McCarthy despite potential shift to RPO-based rushing offense.

With J.J. McCarthy taking over at quarterback for the Giants, Isaiah Likely and neighbors are expected to continue receiving targets; the source notes that head coach Jim Harbaugh would be irresponsible to move away from these two pass-catchers, though the offense may shift toward more RPO-based rushing concepts that were designed for Jackson Dart.
