All you Levi Brown defenders still believe he doesn't suck?

[Buckybird]

It's all about the Benjamin$.

They want to get some return on their investment, even if it means getting the qb injured.

I don't think so

 

[DeAnna]

I don't think so

Why else haven't they gotten rid of him? They continue to trot him out there and boost his ego by calling him "elite"

Something is not adding up.

I also don't agree with this at all. I think BA knows he doesn't have anyone capable of being a decent LT on this team, so what is he going to do?

When things couldn't get any worse with Skelton, we put Lindley out there. When things couldn't get any worse with Levi, we put DJ Young out there.

I think they felt Cooper would help Levi look better by adding him to the left side of the line and when Cooper went down it was too late to address LT. Offer two #2's for Joe Thomas and cut Brown.

We put Young in there because Brown was out for the season. This year we have a couple of young guys who have experience, that is the difference.

 

[DeAnna]

well, they've had several seasons to realize Levi is not cutting it. whats the problem? I'm pretty sure there have been viable replacements available in the meantime, no?

I think if BA thought that Sowells, Massie, or Potter could play better at LT than Levi, then one of those guys would be playing. I just don't think BA believes that right now. Maybe Levi's continued incompetence and/or one of the other guys practices will change his mind.

Viable? Probably not. Any worse ? Maybe, maybe not.

You are right. If BA thought playing any of them gave us a better chance to win, he would play them instead.

I'm starting to doubt BA's judgment on Brown and other alternatives at LT. Hell, we all know Potter is not a long term answer, but he didn't have two games, during the last half of last season, as sucky as Brown has had in three games this year.

I'm with you on this. We all know we've had plenty of HC's who made poor judgement calls when it came to players. These guys aren't infallible.

The Cards deserve to fail with this clown, given they didn't learn their lesson the 1st time after cutting him & failing to add someone thru FA

Bucky. Was good meeting you last night on Bourbon Street. I have to agree with you. We will not do anything until Levi Brown is gone.

The Cards should have two LT because they're wasting a player every down to help him anyway.

Cards make history!!!. First team to play the two LT offense!!!

Jonathan Cooper?

I'm starting to think the unthinkable and wondering if Jonathan Cooper could play left offensive tackle?

I know he's out for the year, but is it something worth considering for the future, if the Cardinals continue to refuse to address the position via the draft, trade or free agency?

I think that would more likely leave you with a mediocre tackle and a hole at guard. Cooper seems to have everything you need to be a great guard and we need that almost as much as we need a great tackle. I think it's best to hang on to your great guard and draft the answer at OT (left and right for that matter).

I'm thinking 4-7 wins this year that should put us in a spot to land one of the top three LTs coming out, Cyrus, Lewan or Mathews. We have to go O-line in the first round again. Move Levi to guard or RT where he should do much better. With a healthy cooper we should be much better up front

Hope so. The thought of another season of horrible tackle play being the primary reason for inept offensive play is too depressing. I think we can put to rest the theory that it was poor coaching. It is a lack of athleticism to play left tackle IMO.
