- Start date

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Gotta give the dude his due, he's been a solid signing this year. I particularly like his mobility and ability to block at the 2nd level.

He totally got downfield on Murray's QB draw and helped clear the path.

I think he is the best Cardinals center I've seen since I started watching the team.

Wait what?? I thought Monti punted on free agency?
I keed I keed....
I'm still giddy over the win today.

Spending FA dollars wisely!
He has been a pleasant surprise to all of us
MO found a good one in the rough
Now he needs to find more
Stout
Hold onto the ball, Murray!
And sign them long-term.

It says a lot about his understanding of evaluating talent in the offensive line
We had someone, despite being a guard in college, who struggled year by year to fix the line properly
Even Colon, the late addition, seems like he can be an average starter

Superbowl, Homeboy!
He ranks 18th in the league with the 13th most difficult match-up for a C. Middle of the pack in pass protection. I can certainly live with that as he is a much better run blocker than pass blocker.

He will grow both in strength and technique or at least that’s the hope
Valuable experience this year for him
Stout

Would you extend him? He is only signed for next season. In fact, only he a Kyzir are signed for next year, and that was the entirety of FA for us lol

Good pickup for us. I think he becomes a better than average starter for us next year. Definitely a pleasant surprise this year.

I wouldn't mind seeing an extension for him.

Of course if they are not good you are stuck with them, long term. What's wrong with a "prove it" contract?
Stout

If they prove it, you are helping them get more money from other teams. Also, you use prove it deals to fill out a roster when competing; you obviously do not build a roster in a rebuild with prove it deals.
There is no reason I see to not extend Fro and White.

Absolutely

Are you sure these were FA's brought in by Monti? I read that we didn't bring any in. And I sort of remember a couple of DL men who looked pretty good in the PS, but ended up on IR.
There were plenty of players signed last year that will be on this team next year.

I'm better than Mulli!
I agree and we’ve been searching for a long time. That said, we’re talking a low bar here. I would be surprised if fro ever makes a pro bowl. But I think we are set at starting center.

A) You could lose them to someone else when they prove it; and
B) that prove it contract becomes a lot more expensive than if you accurately identified their long term ability and locked them up with a bargain contract

Agree, but he isn't a trash player.
Even Sendlein was just a smart guy who didn't lose all of the time. Sendlein had more of an impact in the locker room and making line calls, but rarely made impact blocks. With Froholdt, we see impact blocks every game.
Stout
Hold onto the ball, Murray!
They are only here for 1 more year, when we still aren't likely going to be competing for anything, which means we will have to pay more to keep them. Monti signed two players to two-year deals and nothing more beyond one-year deals. None of the signings were for the long-term rebuild. But by all means, play dumb about the situation.

I dont know who are the offensive line and tight end coaches, bur frohold improved a lot, even Hernandez had his best season
McBride was condidered mainly as a receiver tight end and now he Is a complete tigh end
Cant say the same about our cbs and pass rusher, they didnt improve their performances
