    Wilks Off to Solid Start

    The Cardinals can talk and meet with JDF up until Sunday of this week, if the Eagles approve of the time and place. After that, they need to wait until after the Super Bowl.

    Find it strange

    The problem is, the best offensive minds in college football are getting paid more than what they would make as NFL coordinators...which is why it is getting more difficult to lure college coaches into the NFL.

    Cardinals' Defensive Framework and OC Search

    Harry, what if Honey Badger refuses to rework his deal? Do they keep him at $14M next year, $14M in 2019 and $10.5M in 2020? All of that kicks in if the Cardinals pay HB the $5M roster bonus in March.

    Wilks offered Bettcher the DC job

    My guess is that the offer to Bettcher was a perfunctory courtesy with a big catch---Wilks told him the he (Wilks) would be calling the defensive plays in the games. But Bettch could be the coordinator like Goodwin was for BA. Like some of you have said, the question of whether Bettcher would...

    I think the Cardinals will be going after Cousins

    The Browns T Joe Thomas is urging the team to sign Kirk Cousins. They have the cash and possibly the urgency.

    James Bettcher to the Giants

    Freddie Kitchens signed as Browns AHC/QB coach. Hue Jackson is high on BA's coaches.

    Cardinals' Defensive Framework and OC Search

    Interesting thought, CC. I thought Mathieu underperformed under Bettcher the last two years, some of it due to his recovery and some of it do to a change in attitude (he didn't seem to have the bounce and fun of the old Honey Badger). The second thought is that the Giants are going to be right...

    James Bettcher to the Giants

    Not sure he has the gravitas just yet to hold the respect of some of the veterans. With the Giants that will be put to the test.

    Steve Wilks press conference

    Check this short video: says it all about Wilks' ability to converse with a people of different personalities. The great ones listen and respond with a genuine level of engagement and respect. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article134566669.html

    Cardinals' Defensive Framework and OC Search

    The only rap is that because of his small catch radius he doesn't intercept as many balls as he could---but he makes a ton of plays on the ball versus the run and pass.

    Dave Merritt to be safety coach.

    Merritt helped develop S Landon Collins into an All-Pro in his second season where he set a Giants' record for tackles with 125.

    Cardinals' Defensive Framework and OC Search

    I believe that in Steve Wilks, Michael Bidwill and Steve Keim got the best and most dynamic head coach in this year's pool. Hands down. The majority of the other candidates are strong tacticians---but do they have the innate ability to motivate 53 men? Keim said that he and Michael Bidwill were...

    Darrell Bevell to interview for Cards OC position

    Appreciate the post, but how can you explain the fact that despite playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL, Russell Wilson passed for more TDs (34) this year than any other QB? A QBR of 95.4. Plus, shouldn't Bevell get some credit for having the best 2 minute drill in the NFL...

    Steve Wilks press conference

    Man, if you read between the lines of so many of the things he said---it sounded (at least to me) like he was hinting specifically at certain players on the roster: "every one is accountable, no one is entitled" (Peterson), "pre-snap penalties are mental and post-snap penalties are selfish"...

    James Bettcher to the Giants

    Happy to see Bettch get a good gig. If he can handle the pressure of the NY fans and media and show adaptability (the Giants have traditionally been a 43) and stronger half-time adjustments, then he will be worthy of a HC gig when the time is right. The other big if in going to the Giants is the...

    Wilks Born to Stand Out

    Funny you said that, because today I was thinking about David Cutlliffe of Duke and wondering whether he would make the jump to NFL OC. That guy is awesome.

    Steve Wilks press conference

    I 100% agree with this. It irked me that the media at today's press conference kept referring to our defense as "great"...well, what games were they watching or forgetting? This was NOT anywhere close to being a "great" defense. Talented, yes. Great? Nowhere near great. Hopefully Wilks will make...

    Wilks Born to Stand Out

    I'm nervous about the OC decision, but Wilks has a specific coaching criteria he is committed to. Thus, I am curious to see whom he appoints.

    Wilks Born to Stand Out

    The Cardinals may not have a QB or even an OC right now, but what they do have in newly appointed HC Steve Wilks is the kind of leader and communicator who can make the Cardinals stand out as a flock of tough, tenacious, high flying birds. Charley Casserly of NFLN put the hiring of Steve Wilks...

    Titans meeting with Bettcher

    I think that would be a good spot for Bettcher, working with Mike Vrabel. Imagine this---Bettch was hired to replace Todd Bowles and now he might be hired to replace Dick LeBeau. Those are some tough acts to follow.
