Great addition and builds depth.
Markus Golden is back

The best time to have a hot streak is the present. Keims been solid in the Kingsbury era. Trade wins like these always matter.
He's not. I said this when we signed him. Most of his sacks are coverage sacks or chasing scrambling QBs down in space. Pure pass rush sacks are rare.
To be fair. This also applies to Golden. But its still a great add considering how weak and inexperienced the room is.

I get your point
They don't have any particular pass rushing skills, kennard is faster but doesn't have the "moves"and golden is way too slow, but they are solid players
I mean sacks like our gardeck did in his first game as pass rusher they aren't able, especially golden

You are correct that he wasn't fully back but he was allowed to leave in part because Wilkes was switching us to a 4-3

Thank you Keim for rebuilding Cardinals team after a great super bowl run. Wait, they only won one Playoff game since 2013. Yeah, let's wait for another 5+ years and counting to rebuild so one more playoff win is possible.

my point was rebuilding takes time and there no magic wand that fixes everything over night.
we are in year two of this and so far it looks pretty good and like we’re going in the right direction. Relax

Agreed. If he could get about 3 sacks over the last 9 games I’d be happy.

IMO Cardpa, Proximo and others have it right. He’s a good insurance policy. He’s not a great rusher, but does have a motor. He’ll have to be used, at least in simplified situations, sparingly until he learns the defense. Good clubhouse guy who could be re-signed next year at an affordable price. If he gets 4 sacks, he was a bargain.
I'm not even that bothered about sack production. A scak is great don't get me wrong. Especially on 3rd down or in clutch situations, but a edge can still be good without sacks. If he can get consistent pressure and disrupt what the QB wants to do that will be huge.
I still think there is more room to add at OLB though. Fitts is a try hard, low talent roster filler. Gardeck is a great story and an energetic guy to put in the mix but it looks like they want him more on ST's.
For me, the room is still really only Kennard, Golden and Reddick. If we want to make a serious playoff challenge that room still needs another body. Purnell McPhee would be a good, cheap addition with Ngakoue going there.

I have a great picture of me with his mom in miami. She loved me cuz I was wearing his jersey and told her he was my favorite cardinal. So I'm unretiring my black 44 for Sunday night. I know he's not playing but still a great story for me

I have one negative memory of Golden, the knee injury broke my heart.

Yep, it’s unfortunate that the last attempt was a flop, but we are still in the early stages of this current plan and it has obviously been a success to this point in the plan. Just got to see where it goes from here.

Will this be his third time here?
I'm not a hyperbolic person as you know. I think I'm pretty grounded in reality.
But I really think this team could make a 2008 style late run to the SB. There's a few reasons for this.
1. Our division isn't quite as tough as predicted. The Niners have a lot of injury issues among others and the Seahawks defence is terrible. I actually think the Rams are currently the best in division and we don't play them until late.
2. We still have so much untapped talent. Murphy is just starting to look like an NFL CB. P2 has lots of room to improve. Thompson is due back as is Williams. The run game looks like it's improving. All the receivers have more to give and Kyler isn't anywhere near his potential. If we can fix some of these things we can improve massively.
3. Covid. Covid is always going to be a random factor. It's going to rear its ugly head for most teams at some point and it's going to make it more likely seedings are more innacurate than normally and it's going to throw up more random results when teams get hit.
4. If we get that far with a bit of luck we might draw the NFC East winners.
Its a long shot but I can see a path if we improve some obviously flawed areas.

Reminds me of when Winston Churchill returned as Lord of the Admiralty and the following message was sent to the entire British fleet:
Winston is back....Winston is back!
I'm sure Brit Card remembers.

The 49ers changed coaches, and especially GMs. The issue for the 49ers in the two years prior to last year's run was injuries... ours has been that we can't draft to save our lives.
I'm with ARZ, hard to get excited until something actually changes.

How are the Rams the best?
They lost against to the only competent teams they played against. If they lose to the Bears, it’ll get real spooky.
