I am sure the bulk of posts will be railing McCoy but unless BA is calling the Cards game he should probably ****.

Why? He got a lot of production out of DJ and now DJ appears to be a useless player.

Somebody needs to get through to the coaching staff. Why not the guy who knows what he’s talking about?

Many players in that locker room are loyal to BA. Him questioning things on that team has potential to be destructive to a new HC trying to find his way.

If he is calling the game, fine. But doing in the forum he was doesn't help.

At this with point all the positivies critics coming even from our former coach cant damage anyone cause it cant get any worse
Then as a analyst and as a fans of this franchise he has all the rights to questioning this mess and ineptitude

While this is a good point, it’s not like they don’t already know

Moreover, he retired. He left. He wasn't fired. If he has something to say, he should call the coaching staff. He is supposed to have left on good terms / his own terms.

Yeah. I know he's a paid talking head now, but this doesn't feel very good or classy.

Good.

He is being asked about usage of a player in a fantasy podcast. That player happens to have played for him, and Arians has expertise in how to run offenses. That player also happens to be underachieving and people, other than Arians, are citing the scheme. Is Arians not supposed to say anything because he used to coach the team.

“I don’t think it’s going to get any worse,” Arians said when asked about the team turning to rookie quarterback Josh Rosen. “It can only be better, I would think right now, pushing the ball up the field. I just don’t like the use of David Johnson in this offense. David Johnson is a premier wide receiver and I don’t see him out of the backfield creating the mismatches that he should be out creating and opening up things for Larry Fitzgerald.

“David Johnson, people didn’t realize, he opened up stuff for Larry Fitzgerald because he was used in the slot opposite, or we always put him in position to be opposite of Larry and pick your poison,” Arians added. “I got to see David Johnson being used properly for Josh Rosen to even be effective.”

If that quote came from Tony Romo, no one would care. Why is it different from Arians? And if the reason is because he used to coach the Cardinals, that is crap. These ex coaches and players are paid to give their insight and expertise. They should not be restricted because that expertise and experience points out incompetence.

Hypothetically... if Bruce were willing to come back to coach this team would you take him back?

His time came and went. But he did give us some great football while he was here.

When you're 0 & 3, you needn't worry about what to say - all suggestions are welcome.

 

[sdscard4]

I'd take him back yesterday

Water is wet.

He didn't say anything bad. BA is paid to talk about football now and if your getting offended cause he's talking about our team grow up.

All he said was there not using DJ right and guess what there not.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Hypothetically... if Bruce were willing to come back to coach this team would you take him back?

Yes if only for his influence and mentoring on Josh.

In a millisecond.

BA without Amos Jones and getting back to a 3-4 over Wilkes his ineffective 4-3 and McCoy?

Gosh ... you are asking an asine question ... that is too easy ...and anyone that doesn't lie or does understand something of football chooses BA over the mess we have now.

BA can talk about our team as much as he wants and is asked. If our Coach can't produce and with his decisions this team will get rid of him and if the players turn on him it's because he uses them wrong and puts them in positions to fail.

 

[ARZCardinals]

Stated he does not get what Wilks and McCoy are doing with DJ. He sounded dumbfounded when saying, "Johnson is a premier WR...why they don't use him as a WR makes NO SENSE." He continued on by stating that to get Larry open they'd put DJ next to him...and in BA's word, "Pick your poison" because in his words "There would always be a mismatch"
He sounded like he couldn't believe how bad the Cards offense had turned into. IMHO he was making fun of Wilks and McCoy and stating how dumb they are.
I'd love to hear a conversation between BA and Mike B.

He isn't cashing Bidwill cheques anymore. He now makes his living colour commenting and offering opinions to whoever will pay
