    What can we expect with Leftwich as OC?

    Now that would be a vast improvement considering the mess McCoy has created. Of course he will use Mike McCoy's playbook, if only to keep the verbiage in place. The issue wasn't the playbook, but the selection of plays aka play calling. The offense will look different with Leftwich calling...

    Rod Graves vs Steve Keim Top 10 Picks

    1st round busts and not being able to fix the OL will be his downfall. In fairness, I think his hit rate from rounds 2 til 7 is above average. But we aren't able to run the ball and protect our QB, which spells doom. Getting next to nothing out of our 1st rounders, regardless of position, has...

    How soon do the Cards trade P P

    Things in the NFL can turn around so quickly these days, but trading your best players won't help to achieve this. PP and Chandler Jones play the most valuable positions on defense. I'd argue there is no better CB-DE duo than these two guys. Trading them won't be allowed by Bidwill.

    Were all staring at you Michael Bidwill

    Can't be afraid of tough decisions. Kind of a rebuild was expected, but not being the worst team in the NFL. Especially not since we've been an 8-8 team that hasn't lost any core players. Shows you that coaches can't get close to the best out of our players. And such a lackluster effort on...

    Still think Offensive Line is the most important position besides QB

    Cole is still a rookie and while not playing particularly well, has avoided costly mistakes for the most part. Other than him, I could see us starting 4 new players on the OL. Humphries hasn't lived up to being a 1st rounder by any means, but when you rate all 5 starters we field he's probably...

    Is Josh Rosen arrogant?

    If you are down big and try to make something happen while under heavy duress behind an abysmal OL all game long, well, it happens. It would've happened to most - if not all - QBs under these circumstances. If the Broncos are elite at one thing it's harassing the QB in obvious situations with...

    A Series of Unfortunate Events

    I agree that the blocking style of our OL is archaic. Usually the OL blocks like they are told to do. It's one thing getting your ass whooped on a well-designed play even if you gave your best effort, but it's another thing of being put into the position to fail no matter what. Actually, I...

    A Series of Unfortunate Events

    If the Rosen-Kirk combo continues to show promise this season, and Cole anchoring our OL for all 16 games, the 2018 draft class alone will buy Keim another year at least.

    FIRE MCCOY!!!

    Reminds me of the FIRE AMOS campaign. Hopefully this campaign is fruitful much sooner than it took with Amos.

    Potential free agents

    Big? Yes. Big name? No.

    Amari Cooper available

    He is one of the rare WRs out there that have a combination of great speed, good size, excellent route running, but he has problems catching the ball. His hands always seemed solid at least, so it's probably a mental issue. He is basically a faster Michael Floyd. Like him or not, he clearly...

    DJ’s fumble

    This! Fumbles happen to all RBs, no big deal. DJ isn't playing well at the moment, but part of it are frustration, trying to do too much and not getting in any kind of rhythm. Even the best players make mistakes when the whole offense isn't clicking. Same can be said for Fitz who isn't used...

    2018 1st round pick is Josh Rosen

    Rosen did well so far. At times he played it too safe, throwing too high. This is something he's gonna correct. Still sad that we let him run this old-as-my-socks uncreative McCoy offense. Imagine him in an innovative system where playmakers are put in space, with easy reads and easy...

    Fewest YAC per reception, Cardinals ranked 2nd in that category

    Seperation is one thing we are missing. But you can scheme routes so that the WR has some space to work with. Especially short routes. Hence we can't even run a bubble screen these days for positive yardage. As for Fitz, he should go back to a full time slot role. He lines up outside way too...

    How many DJ runs up the middle for loss/no gain will we see Sunday?

    We all hate McCoy, but nobody of us can say that we know more football than him. Of course he must get more creative with our run schemes. But has anybody in here ever thought that our OL might not be athletic enough? Iupati has become old and injuries have slowed him down. Pugh has also had his...

    Cardinals Signing WR Kendall Wright

    Wright is basically just a more experienced, less explosive Kirk. Actually I think young Kendall Wright compares very well to Kirk. The slot position Wright plays is the position we have Kirk and Fitz for. So a really dumb move. Should've brought in a big physical WR who can come down with the...

    Locker room unhappy

    In the closing stages of the season, after Rosen has shown progress but McCoy is stil holding the whole offense back, Leftwich should get a shot at calling plays. I have a feeling that he might be the solution.

    Please defend Al Holcomb

    Give the Wilks/Holcomb defense some time. While there are still too many mistakes, it got better after looking hopeless in the first two weeks. Remember it's a completely different defensive philosophy than what we ran under Horton/Bowles/Bettcher for years. But when looking around the league...

    Is Chandler Jones the most valuable defensive player in the league.

    I don't get the Budda hate from some. The slot is targeted relentlessly these days. Other than maybe Chris Harris, who is on the older side already, there aren't any shutdown nickel defenders anymore. Not possible with today's rules. Since Peterson is elite and avoided by smart QBs, Baker gets...

    Can a team actually rebuild in 1 season?

    Rebuilds happen quicker than ever before. Rams are the prime example. But there are many teams over the last couple of years that significantly improved their record, going from bottom tier to playoff contender. I'm one of Keim's harshest critics. So many mind boggling draft decisions. Yet the...

    Closest thing to the real offense...so far.

    Liked the rollouts. Putting Rosen on the move puts more stress on the defense, and makes for some easy completions. We have to improve in the run blocking department, because the play action and rollout game was working really well even with an average run game. Some good screens in there too...

    Why wasn’t Rosen starting day 1?

    Imagine if we wouldn't have signed Bradford and missed out on a QB in the 1st round, which happened to us last year and could've easily happened again. Especially since Keim didn't even want to sacrify a future 1st round pick. Mike Glennon would be running the show now with a mid round rookie...

    how soon is too soon....

    Great player. But can't justify drafting a TE in round 1 with so many glaring holes in more crucial positions.

    Lights have been turned off on Buccanon and Reddick

    Has anybody on this coaching staff entertained the idea of playing Buc and Reddick in the positions that ultimately made them 1st round selections coming out of college? Bethea and Boston are solid, but maybe Buc can redeem some of his value in replacing Bethea once he hangs it up. Unlikely...

    The worst part about Rosen succeeding...

    I wouldn't bet against Rosen balling out, making McCoy a non-issue. While he isn't the most creative OC, he had multiple good seasons as OC and multiple winning seasons as a HC. I'm a big critic of McCoy and not gonna search for excuses. But again, if Rosen is who we thought he was, the OC won't...
