Cards fear the worst with Golden's knee...

As expected, unfortunately...

Wheeler doesnt fit the role of an Olb in our defense
A speedy guy like gwatchum make sense cause can play a role in special teams

Can you please send a memo to Steve Keim and BA?

Keeping Wheeler over Cap Capi was absurd and incredibly undeserving.

Dont know, guess there were reasons no football related

Now they double team Jones and there is no one else to get pressure on the QB. Well maybe the only good thing is whoever replaces Golden will hold contain on the edge better.

This might actually force Betcher to play Reddick at his natural position. Just adds a little more sting to the RNK bust situation.

From what we have on the roster now, Kareem Martin seems to be the only answer to take Golden's place. Possibly Obom Gwacham could be called up. A former 6th round pick (from Oregon State) by Seattle, he purportedly has some speed and has played special teams.
Wonder why he got waived by Seattle!

Just goes to show you can never have too many pass rushers. Is Jarvis Jones still on the roster?

Very sorry to see this yesterday at UoP. Get well Marcus, see back out there next year 110%!

If you mean we are going to a 4-3 and he will play DE then I would agree. I think Reddick can play OSLB on occasion, but he would be a liability in the run game. IMO

My guess is you see Kareem Martin at OLB in run situations and Reddick at OLB in passing situations...the Eagles are going to want to run the ball because they want to run play action. Jeffrey will get shadowed by Peterson which means the Eagles will want to hit Smith, and Ertz down the field.

Idk how they plan to scheme it but yesterday BA said they would “get Hassan over there in some limited packages at first cuz you can’t learn everything in one day.” Said they would get Deone in his LB spot in those situations.

So whatever that means! Lol. Some kind of hybrid scheme?

I asked #AZCardinals LB coach Larry Foote about Markus Golden's progress back from an ACL injury today. Foote said: "He’s looking good." Foote, who'll coach both inside and outside linebackers this season, said Golden will "be just fine."

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Good to hear. Need Golden to be healthy this year.

 

[TJ]

Holy poo I almost had a heart attack thinking that Golden had a setback on his recovery.

Thank goodness this is just a bump/update

This is good news if true. Golden is a terrific player. Cards need him full strength.
