    Quick 1st Depth Chart Thoughts

    Depends on if the team trusts him to fill that role in game 1.. if so, I totally agree that Carter is probably the odd man out in the room, but you obviously aren't going to try to push him to your practice squad. I think Dallas is pretty much a lock because of his special teams value and the...

    Quick 1st Depth Chart Thoughts

    Conner is RB 1. Demarcardo is the blocking back. Carter is the primary relief for Conner/home run threat. Dallas is special teams. Benson is the future. If Benson can fill Carter's role right away, no need to keep him. If not, I see them keeping all five.

    Cardinals sign OLB Marquis Haynes

    Two pass rushers mentioned in this ESPN article that might be worth keeping in the back of your brain - Baron Browning (Broncos) and BJ's brother Azeez (Giants). Like Haynes, neither would be a huge difference maker, but the projected compensation doesn't seem that steep steep...

    Cardinals sign OLB Marquis Haynes

    Certainly not a needle mover, but had productive college career and has the same number of career sacks as Gardeck in about half as many games. Earned a second contract with Carolina before what I assume was injury filled 2023 (only played 7 games).

    Squid Game (Netflix)

    I'm glad they aren't going beyond Season 3, if they intend to roll with the same main characters you can only put them back into the game so many times before it gets too unrealistic. Honestly, it's the kind of show where the game is the main character, and they could totally get away with a new...

    15 thoughts - training camp

    For this year's Lance Long Award (for training camp darling never to be heard from again), my money would be on one of the WRs - Palmer (sixth round pick) or Weaver (UDFA). Seems like WR is the position where people have come out of nowhere mostly often in past camps, and they both have some...

    USMNT U23 gets spanked by France in their first game of the Olympics, but France had a significantly better roster being the hosts and all.

    COPA

    Another major disaster with fans rushing gates at a big game. I have friends there that fortunately got in and got people out of their seats. I’ve seen tweets saying people with tickets can’t get in now and security is too overwhelmed to kick people out of seats that aren’t theirs.

    The Official US Soccer thread

    How important is previous international coaching experience? Honest question - I’m not sure. Obviously not a requirement, but getting guys together a couple of times per year is a lot different than managing a club team and I can see the advantage of bringing in someone with that experience...

    The Official US Soccer thread

    My guess is that it will be one of the candidates who are coaching MLS (Cherundolo, Nancy, and Curtin). David Wagner, Hugo Perez, and Javier Aguirre are the options listed in that article that are most intriguing to me. Pochettino and Tuchel are the two well known names outside of Klopp, but...

    The Official US Soccer thread

    ESPN has a list of potential candidates. Klopp is obviously the dream, but the first couple on the list beyond that are probably the more realistic choices. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40501645/who-new-usmnt-coach-16-candidates-berhalter-copa-america-2024

    James Conner: Cardinals cleansed the roster of guys who didn’t put team first

    The full article definitely reinforces it was pre Monti and the current regime has cleaned up those messes. WR seems like the most obvious position he was referring to given all of the turnover there (Hop, Green, Hollywood, Rondale). Maybe an Eno Benjamin type in his own position room. Guys...

    James Conner: Cardinals cleansed the roster of guys who didn’t put team first

    Obviously it depends on the editing, but during the first episode of Hard Knocks with the Giants, when the new DC met with the larger front office/coaching staff, one of the first questions they showed was someone asking how Simmons fit into this guy's defensive scheme.

    I don’t know much about him, but trust or track record on finding guys. Right now the biggest question marks are if we can get Gross to stay and convince Undav to come back and not go to Germany permanently.

    In reality he could have been signaling something else at the time, but this pretty much perfectly sums it up, huh?

    Honestly - who? Horvath, who can't unseat Turner at Nottingham Forest? Zack Steffen, after he dipped back to MLS after failing in Europe? Sean Johnson, who has never played outside MLS? Drake Callender, who suddenly got really good when Messi and his friends came over? There are some potential...
