Bolden vs. Isabella

[slanidrac16]

I’m not sure either player will make the 53 man roster but between the two of them I like Bolden.
As fast as Isabella is suppose to be I did not see any separation. He simply is not that “ football fast”.
Bolden seems to have more field awareness. He plays faster than Isabella and seems way smoother. He seems to know where there is open space.

 

[TRW]

I keep Bolden. No need to waste a roster spot on AI to be inactive every week. Just cut your losses on a bad pick and move on.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Depends on special teams. I'd take Isabella if it was for just a receiver spot. Bolden hasn't wowed me as a receiver. Isabella has played some of his best football the past two games.

Both are on the bubble.

Hopkins, Brown, Green, Moore, Wesley, and Dortch probably all make it. I don't think Bolden has done enough to make the Cardinals keep a SEVENTH WR.

Hopkins doesn't hold a spot on the 53 for the first third of the season tho.

Two things:
1. Remember D Hop doesn't count in the initial 53 cut.
2. While both are fast, imo, Bolden seems much quicker and more athletic.

yep that's the difference Bolden isn't perfect but he gets open. Andy got somewhat open but seemed to take him longer.

I do think Andy has played well enough if we cut him he'll get picked up by someone else.

 

[SoonerLou]

Both > Wesley

 

[DVontel]

Honestly, I would keep Jontre Kirklin over both.

 

[PACardsFan]

Don’t understand why anyone would think that Wesley is an automatic.

JMO, PS.

He's the only proven outside receiver on the roster aside from Green and Brown for the first half of the year.

 

[PACardsFan]

Not sure the sample size is large enough to say he’s “proven”. He’s tall, with average hands, average route running, and is currently injured.

The injury is the problem for me. They're dancing around it, but with McBride out and Maxx Williams rehabbing, I think lacking another big-bodied WR in camp is a worry.

Wesley had almost 460 snaps in the offense last season — almost all on the outside — which is more offensive snaps than Rondale Moore. He's a replacement-level outside wide receiver, which places him at least a tier above guys like Greg Dorch or Andy Isabella.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

I think the question is more whether they keep dortch or isabella. I would keep dortch - special teams

 

[reebokalone2001]

Not sure about the proven part, but he might be the only RZ weapon in the WR position on the roster except Green and Brown for the first 1/3 of the season. Well, that's on Keim.

Nobody puts Andy in the corner.

Believe in Rudy.

This is the same impression I got of Isabella watching the game last night. For a guy that is supposed to be so fast he doesn't get separation.

 

[Harry]

I thought Isabella played his best game. I don’t think his game is better than Bolden. Bolden is a useful kick returner. Depth is a plus.

 

[Mainstreet]

It would be ironic not to keep Isabella with him playing well after keeping him around for three seasons.

 

[Zalixar]

Really hoping we can trade Isabella for something useful this season. Using the preseason as advertisement.

He has good hands, while Isbella has no hands at all

Isnt he the guy that dropped a TD that hit him right in the hands?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Bolden is a cut.

 

[Krangodnzr]

This would be best for both parties.

Isn't he the guy that also made an acrobatic catch for a touchdown too
