MaybeMe too. Snaps under center, stepping up in the pocket, controlled runs. Can't wait to see Kyler pull that off. He has the physical talents.

Schrager is a big Cards fan.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
@Chopper0080 Petzing really loved what he learned in Cleveland.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
I think it's possible they are deliberately using less motion this year, due to QB's. You had Dobbs learning a newish system and not having a lot of starting experience...and now Kyler is working on his footwork within the pocket. Maybe they are just keeping some things more simple, so the basics which need improvement can become second nature. It will be interesting to see if the offense evolves any further over the remaining 5 games.@Chopper0080 Petzing really loved what he learned in Cleveland.
B-B+...I can clearly see the plan, now ..Just need to see incremental growth in 2024 with a better lineup.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
Yep, I agree that he is probably in the B- or B range. Their total lack of WR production probably keeps it at B- for me.B-B+...I can clearly see the plan, now ..Just need to see incremental growth in 2024 with a better lineup.
The fact that the Cards can basically run on anyone didn't sink in until the last 3-4 weeks, or so, due to the overall outmatched effort on defense. Going forward, with better defense, this offense is schemed to get a lead and just wear the other team down and run out the clock.
Old school football. Football 101. Run the ball.wear down your opponent. Control the clock. Strike when the defense gets sucked in.B-B+...I can clearly see the plan, now ..Just need to see incremental growth in 2024 with a better lineup.

Petzig probably has little to do with keeping Ertz and Ingram.So I guess when you evaluate an OC you look at:
1. Play calling
2. Play design
3. Personnel usage
4. Personnel development
with the understadning that he's the "CEO" of the offense and maybe other coaches deserve some credit too.
Another (tin foil hat) caveat is if DP was in on any kind of tanking scheme and were his decisions influenced by this. With this in mind I'll go:
1. Play calling = B (generally unpredictible, aggressive, and generally geared to available players strengths)
2. Play design = B (very few "oh that was doomed from the start plays", also, our rushing attack is elite)
3. Personnel usage = C+ (hung on to the Ertzs and Ingrams too long but usage did focus on our strength, running)
4. Player development = B+ (considering McBride and the O-line renaissance)
But the rest of the League doesnt think the same"The Cards brass think so high of Drew Petzing they fully expect him to be a HC elsewhere next year (2025)."

I guess we'll see.

The run game was awesome...they ran on everyone and it didn't matter the formation...shotgun or under center.the one think i keep seeing noted by NFL people commenting on the Cards offense is the creativity in the Cardinal run game --
hard for me / us to see and appreciate --
Right?? Often pulled an entire side...just overloaded the poo out of defenses...off tackles with guards running lead...lots of good stuff.The run game was awesome...they ran on everyone and it didn't matter the formation...shotgun or under center.
Petzing wasnt the QB coach when Mayfield was there. He was the QB with Watson. And they just fired their OC.Right?? Often pulled an entire side...just overloaded the poo out of defenses...off tackles with guards running lead...lots of good stuff.
My biggest concern with petzing is... Baker Mayfield apparently failed in Cleveland
He was tight ends coach when Baker was there. He was QB coach in 2022 and Baker was in Carolina and LA.Right?? Often pulled an entire side...just overloaded the poo out of defenses...off tackles with guards running lead...lots of good stuff.

I don't even know if I'd hold Watson against Drew.Petzing wasnt the QB coach when Mayfield was there. He was the QB with Watson. And they just fired their OC.
The question is Petzing QB pass friendly as well or did he just not have the weapons/QB in rhythm.
