its appearing more and more Murray becoming a cardinal was not decided while we were on the clock. In fact I think it was weeks before the draft.

Assuming I’m right, which is always a big assumption, does anybody think it’s possible Kyler got a sneak peek at the play book and terminology? Did he receive an idea of how rookie ota’s were going to go?

Doesn’t seem so far fetched to me.

Watch the video of Cardinals flight plan 6.0. It starts out with a lady doing the embroidery work on the #1 Murray jersey, that should give anyone a good clue lol. Having said that, I've often wondered how all these teams have the #1 Jersey ready for when they pick, considering trades & all, how do they do it? When Eli Manning was picked #1 by the Chargers, he got a #1 Jersey from them, & then later was traded to the Giants & they had a #1 Jersey for him also. Maybe these teams in the first round already have their possible draft choices figured out & have several #1 jerseys made up just in case?

No. The assumption is beyond asinine. Would risk way too much if caught. Not worth it. A secret is only good if one person knows it.

This isn’t that hard. It doesn’t matter.

I think that it is time to stop talking about Josh Rosen until we compliment him IF he does well. I am ready for the current roster and am tired of beating a dead horse. I have been traveling and can’t wait to change my avatar. The draft is over

Murray didn't need our playbook. Lincoln & Kliff run a very similar offense. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the same terminology. Even in one of the twitter feeds yesterday KM's familiarity with the offense was mentioned.

It's fun to listen to these coaches chronicles podcasts. David Raih exposed the terminology "Outside & Inside" receivers when talking about Hakeem & Andy. That's total Air Raid terminology.

They don't want to call it Air Raid..... but man...... I cant wait for week 1. And then I'm live at the 40 yard line for week 2!!!!

They have jerseys and draft hats made up for every team

But how do they know which player is going to be chosen for each team? The lady in the flight plan 6.0 was at the Cardinals facility, near their war room, I could tell because of the brick wall/column in the middle of where she was sewing.

They're not sewn on..... They are heat transferred.

I saw a special years ago that described the whole process.... Although honestly, I don't remember thinking it was a mystery before I saw it. :D

That was made for TV drama. Similarly when they were mentioning Allen right after the pick of Murray I think that was some type of reshoot.

I just don't see how they can have the right jersey made spur of the moment like that, considering trades & such. There's no way the Cardinals didn't know who they were going to pick, it was KM all the way unless someone blew them away with an offer?

The league makes up jerseys for their first-round picks on the spot. I would imagine that every team has several jerseys on the ready with a bucket full of letters for last names in case trades happen and a team gains several first round picks.

Still seems hard to make one just like that when a trade happens, last name stitched on the name plate & everything, back of the jersey.

If it was decided so far ahead, why the F didn't we trade Rosen earlier?
