Malcom Butler

[BullheadCardFan]

No, we “all” were not.

At least Marco played CB all his life.

Brandon was a RB all his life until he switched to CB his senior year. Keim & Bruce somehow thought was a fine pick in the THIRD round despite being bad that year, too. Easily my least favorite pick in the Keim era.

There are so many to pick from

Would Richard Sherman be an option that makes sense?

Nope

We really let our best pass-rusher last year go for chump change too that’s hilarious.

I'm really not stressed. I liked Wilson in the draft. Some will recall me calling for him in the draft day thread.

And honestly he's looked better than I thought. Played against some starters vs Cowboys and made plays.

Smart kid. Elite athlete. There's going to be some mistakes, but then there were going to be times Butler got burnt athletically.

The bigger question is Murphy. Murphy and Alford were going to start anyway. Can Murphy make the leap the coaches have been talking up?

(I doubt it. I've been underwhelmed by his coverage so far)

Arizona Cardinals place CB Malcolm Butler on retired list, make 15 cuts​

 

[outcent13]

He's in a treatment facility with legal issues awaiting him when he out.

Thank you for an actual explanation. I don’t pay as much attention as much as I used to .

I'm perfectly happy with the combo of Watt/Golden/Jones

In a move many did not see coming until this week, the Arizona Cardinals placed starting cornerback Malcolm Butler on the reserve/retired list as they cut 15 players Tuesday.

Im assuming this makes his decision official?

I think this is the Cards calling his bluff. He's not officially retired until he turns in his papers to the league.

I am reading they still can change this. It's reserved/retired. Wouldn't the reserved part mean they are waiting to see?

Team can't put him on reserve retired list without his consent

 

[SoonerLou]

Simmons is playing slot corner obviously.

 

[Mainstreet]

I will be particularly upset if Butler refuses to play, retirement or otherwise, and the Cardinals have to pay him.

Can we trade him?

 

[football karma]

Byron Murphy/Alford and who? This is the saddest group of Cardinals CB's I can ever remember. That's one ok slot corner and nothing anyone else would have in their top 3.

We're seriously going to rely on Marco Wilson and Robert Alford. That's somewhere beyond pathetic planning.

your memory isnt good

in 2019, rookie Murphy started with Tremaine Brock as the CBs. I beleive Kevin Peterson was the slot guy.

 

[Yuma]

AZ Sports says they will move Murphy to the slot on nickle and dime packages according to their guys covering the team. I guess that implies he starts as CB on 1st and 2cnd downs.

and not to beat a dead horse, but:

Murphy was literally the teams' highest rated corner last year.

Murphy as a third year player is probably very different from Murphy as a rookie

Murphy in a role as a player in his first or second year doesn't pigeon hole him into that role forever.

Could he fail outside? Sure, but people are treating it as fait accompli based on the first 6 games of his career when forced into the CB1 role.

Would Richard Sherman be an option that makes sense?

In keim's mind, probably.

No reasonable, sane, clear thinking person would entertain it however.

Kliff is so full of crap:

Last time I saw him play, he looks cooked. Getting by on ability to read offenses fast enough to get in somewhat position on plays.

Kliff is so full of crap:

Kliff is playing poker. Bluff: You don't want to throw on us......

 

[BigRedRage]

Kliff is so full of crap:

You want him to say otherwise about his roster?

 

[Red on White]

Did someone hook up with Butler's partner or something? Strange that the silence is so deafening
