I don't remember him making bone head plays.. But my memory doesn't serve me well sometimes.
He did with the Texans, but not as a member of the Cardinals thus far:

Thanks for the info. I do remember seeing a video with him mixing it up with a teammate at practice
and causing problems with a bad attitude.

I just don't see it happening as much here compared to anywhere else. BA will not allow that and pull him. IMO

Stinson is a 5th round selection, who has been a solid rotational player in his first Two season and is pushing for a starting roles in his third according to this. Dissappointing!!!!

Based on what? The Hard Knocks episodes where he was too much. He hasn't shown it on the field.
Remember Swearinger was a High 2nd rounder that is considered Weird/a loner. Maybe the locker rooms in his previous teams couldn't absorb a player like that or maybe Swearinger figured out how to fit into a team here. I don't know, but there has never been any question about his level of talent
Stinson has only 16 tackles & 1 sack in 25 games played... he even started 4 of those games and still didn't have better numbers.

Gunter had those same #s in his 1st season playing NT... which typically get less tackles & sacks than DE.

Stinson & Martin were hyped as the next Dockett & Campbell... so far both have been dissapointing to me.

Cards have been one of the least-penalized teams under Bruce Arians, and somehow have managed to draw among the most penalties.

Didn't swearinger have a bad 15 yard penalty in the playoffs or against Seattle at the end of the year? Could have sworn it turned what would have been a 4th down into a first.

And they specifically mentioned him as having a good camp. TE is going to be an interesting battle. Fells again shined in the passing game today.

Where did you hear that? On the Big Red Rage last week, they sounded REALLY iffy about Niklas, saying he had a lot of work to do...

Not the golden ticket to a roster spot, but Arians had good things to say about him today and Niklas had an epic response when asked about the praise:

Also considering that Kareem switched from DLine to OLB - you change how you play football, and you change your body composition. We will see over the preseason games how he has improved with a year under his belt
Martin was a good pass rushing DL at UNC and ARZ moved him to OLB because they needed a pass rusher at OLB but other OLB pass rushers were off the board. ARZ should move him back to DL if he can add the necessary weight, he's got the length at 6'6. Sometimes a spade is really a spade.

I thought they moved him because he was ineffective at DLine (given our scheme)? :shrug:

We also had a lot of depth at DLine & not much at OLB before Freeney was signed... moving to OLB last year was a move to stay on the active roster.

Niklas didn't stand out to me at all on Tuesday. I saw him up close in drills for Special teams and he looked like he didn't want to be there. I don't see him as physical as I had hoped when we drafted him. Also I didn't see him stand out during regular practice but then I didn't see all of the practice as I ushered my son and his friends to and from the restroom multiple times.

Speaking of Special teams. One guy that did stand out to me was Alex Okafor. During drills he split double teams like a hot knife through butter.

At the club event. I never noticed him but he could have been on the opposite side of the field.

Honestly I hate training camp at the stadium. It's difficult to zero in on one player when you are so far away. Flagstaff was the best. Literally right next to the coaches

See you got to zero in on Niklas and Humphries. My side was the left side so I saw everyone great there. We should just do all these reports on opposite sides of the stadium. :)

I was rarely ever able to make it to Flag so I love that they do training camp at UoP stadium.

You were higher up than me and got to see all of the plays develop. That is where I usually like to sit so I can see the entire field. Since it was my sons birthday we decided to sit in the front row which was a cool experience but made it difficult to see the plays.
