Brinkley--Brown--Buckner--Caprioglio---Cason

[Mitch]

54 Brinkley, Jasper, ILB, 6-1, 252, 27, 5, South Carolina. Had a productive year last season at MLB for the Vikings. Strong and sturdy. Downhill tackler. Has potential to play SOLB if D-Wash returns and Minter excels. Cover skills will be tested. May have pass rush ability.

13 Brown, Jaron, WR, 6-2, 205, 23, R, Clemson. Good size and speed. Was part of a very talented WR unit at Clemson---may have been overlooked somewhat. Can be physical as blocker. Teammate of RB Andre Ellington and the Tigers' high-powered offense.

85 Buckner, Dan, WR, 6-4, 215, 22, R, Arizona. Transfer from Texas. Big, physical, reliable WR. Plays tough. Good blocker. Comes up with big plays. Lacks top-end speed, which is likely why he wasn't drafted. Has Anquan Boldin type qualities.

60 Caprioglio, Joe, T, 6-6, 315, 23, R, Colorado St. Versatile T/G prospect who was just starting to emerge as a strong player when he suffered an ACL injury in 2011. Came back this past season and played well.

20 Cason, Antoine, CB, 6-1, 195, 26, 6, Arizona. One of the top free agent signings---rated as the #1 UFA CB by ESPN. Big, strong capable CB who brings experience and strength to the Cardinals' secondary. Tends to play off a little too often---will be asked to be more aggressive in the Cardinals' schemes and will be asked to work inside in the slot and outside on the perimeter.

Summary:

Versatility has been a common theme for the Cardinals with regard to the new players they have acquired. Brinkley will start at SILB and could slide over to SOLB if Kevin Minter shines. WRs Jaron Brown and Dan Buckner can play inside and outside. Both have upside and have legitimate chances to make the 53 man roster. Caprioglio will probably play RT at first but may be switched to guard---and has a chance to make the PS. Cason can be used in a variety of different ways---outside on the perimeter, inside on the slot and may be asked to cover TEs from time to time.

So... you're going to do 18 of these threads? Two down, 16 to go? Of youtube clips?

Thanks for the information Mitch. I appreciate it and I'm sure others do as well other than the obvious Jackass.

 

[TJ]

Thanks Mitch! Nice to see some Buckner and Cason videos.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous - I've been travelling all weekend and just checked in to see if there's anything new in the Cardinal world - nothing on AZ Central. However, when opening this site I was happy to see a couple of posts by Mitch.

Am I going to review the YT clips he posted? No. Will others? Yes.

The point? He's contributed, your post can only be labeled as negative. It's beneath you, you often times have insight in your posts so I'm hoping whatever kick you're currently on goes away quickly.

Now I'm off to look at the other thread of Mitch's I've yet to read.

 

[Seandonic]

Thanks Mitch! Keep them coming. I appreciate it.

 

[cardpa]

Keep these coming Mitch. Nice to be able to take a look at some of these players without any effort on our part. I am sure this takes time for you to put together. Much appreciated.

lol, man. You need to have a "why not?" attitude. You don't have to open every thread, especially when it appears you already knew what to expect and didn't like it

For what its worth Jurecki believes that out of all the UDFA's, Juron Brown is the one they are by far the most excited about.

I think Cason is going to be one of our top additions for 2013. He gives us two big CBs to run with the big receivers and then we have Powers, mini-Badger, and Arenas to cover the smaller faster slot guys.

Now if only we had some Safeties.
