    Headcoach Kliff Kingsbury and his assistant coaches

    I don't know Kugler, so please enlighten me why he is that great of an OL coach? KK won't pass the Cards to death just because he's a coach out of the Air Raid tree. In fact among all Air Raid coaches, he is one of the more run-heavy guys. He understandably aired it out with Mahomes quite a...

    Wilks to the Browns?

    Browns have a complete 4-3 zone defense. Maybe a bit too young and inexperienced, missing a piece or two for stopping the run, but a great situation for Wilks to jump into. He will do fine.

    Best #1 pick for 3-4 Defense

    No way Golden can play ILB other than in special blitz packages where he goes after the QB. He is a DE or 3-4 OLB, a pure edge rusher. Never played inside, and way too stiff, too slow in space. Bynes is on the lower end in terms of ILB athleticism and still quicker thant Golden. And Bynes has...

    First Signing of Kingsbury Kardinals - Bryant Mitchell

    Next Stephen Williams. Or Agudosi.

    Harry...free agency

    Since our most likely draft choice is gonna be Bosa, I don't see Golden back. Good player with bad injury luck or he would've probably been extended already. I think it's most likely Arians and Bowles recruit him for the new Bucs defense, since they are transitioning and Golden fits the mold...

    Current Cards DC candidates per Gambo

    We don't have to go back. We never were a 4-3 team, but a hot mess under Wilks. 3-4 aggressive man defense is where PP, Budda and Chandler Jones eexcel. Even Bucannon flashed playmaking ability. Swearinger is back and was a key cog in this scheme as well. Olsen Pierre flashed too. 2018 was a...

    Stump Mitchell?

    Can't underestimate Kitchens' ties to Stump though. More likely Stump gets OC title in Cleveland than with us. Hopefully we can hire him in some capacity.

    Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

    He had Suh and Wake in Miami. Von Miller and Chubb in Denver. With 2 premier pass rushers along the front front you can get home rushing 4. But I remember him, specifically with the Broncos when Ware retired and no premium threat opposite Miller before Chubb, calling the double A gap blitz which...

    Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

    Important point. Russ Wilson is very similar in terms of scrambling around and hitting receivers on the move from all imaginable angles. The Rams run a fairly similar spread offense like the Chiefs, along with some identic concepts. The 49ers do lots of rollout and on the move stuff in typical...

    Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

    Vance Joseph runs a 3-4 scheme that should fit us. He had great pass rushers in Miami and Denver so he wasn't very blitz heavy, but showed the knack to call aggressive blitzes at the right time. The thought of Chandler Jones possibly paired with Bosa, along with PP and Budda in the secondary...

    Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

    Can't fault Bettcher for the mess in NY. Their defense was worst in the league before him and it showed again this season. They only brought in fringe guys like Mauro and Martin to run Bettcher's 3-4 scheme, while investing their first two draft picks in Barkley and a powerful guard. In FA they...

    Best #1 pick for 3-4 Defense

    There are more exotic 3-4 defenses where all linebackers must be able to drop into coverage. Mainly this is used when having no dominant OLB, so you can blitz from all angles and make it hard on the QB to guess who will drop or rush. On the flip side, a more conventional system with 2 stud edge...

    Kingsburys Plan...Why the Cardinals hired him!

    We draft Kyler Murray with the 1st pick, then come back to pick Devin White with the 1st we get for Rosen. Then we trade PP and pick up Greedy Williams. Then we trade DJ and get some powerful blocker who can pave the way for Chase Edmonds and Kyler Murray.

    Headcoach Kliff Kingsbury and his assistant coaches

    Childress fits the profile perfectly. Loads of NFL experience, HC experience, and kind of an innovator himself when it comes to introducing the spread offense to the NFL. He would strike me as the kind of OC without a big ego who will be open to KK's ideas and let him call the plays, while...

    Draft Kyler Murray #1, trade Josh Rosen?

    Rosen hasn't looked that bad given the circumstances. He didn't run away afraid like Kolb before the ball was even snapped. Rosen stood tall in there and paid the price, took many hard hits. Of course he missed lots of throws because not only was he a rookie, but a rookie forced off his spot...

    Best #1 pick for 3-4 Defense

    With Bosa and Chandler Jones the scheme doesn't really matter much. Both are out there to hunt the QB on passing downs and to set the edge against the run. No need for many exotic blitz packages when you have such edge rushers. Comparable to Von Miller and Demarcus Ware in Denver. Blitzing is...

    Right or wrong

    While giving kudos to MB for quickly dumping Wilks and hiring an exciting coach, it's even easier to understand from a business view. Many season ticket holders would've jumped ship facing a 2nd Wilks season. The cost of the KK contract will be paid by those renewing their tickets and the extra...

    Headcoach Kliff Kingsbury and his assistant coaches

    Stump is among the candidates for OC. Not first choice, but could get the job if no veteran OC is willing to mesh with KK's novel offense.

    OT: Bucs Hire Bruce Arians

    I like BA and very thankful for the success he brought to us, but for some reason I don't wish him well and hope he flames out quickly in Tampa. The biggest mistake of the BA era was not getting him a legit QBOF, or he would still be coaching and having us above 0.500. Maybe it was on BA, but I...

    Kingsbury's potential long term impact is greater than any other candidate

    "No risk it no biscuit" is true in terms of swinging the fences on a young offensive innovator without NFL coaching experience. However, this saying goes back to BA wanting to take as many vertical shots as possible per game. KK's Air Raid scheme is more about stretching the defense...

    Kudos to Michael Bidwill for swinging for the fences and paying for a mistake

    Never doubted MB. Anybody in this business makes mistakes. At least MB was sharp enough to pull the brakes, admit his mistake and move on swinging the fences on a young innovator. What's not to like? McCarthy or Caldwell have valuable HC experience, but they are known mediocre commodities...

    Best #1 pick for 3-4 Defense

    In terms of pure 3-4 fit I have to guess Quinnen Williams is a perfect fit. But for interior DL he isn't the game wrecker you covet with a 1st overall pick. He isn't Suh from a pure prospect standpoint, doesn't have the burst and quickness of Donald, and isn't the same monster like Watt. Tough...
