Show me I’m blocked without telling me I’m blocked.
This may sound weird, but there are a few posters on here, who get pretty caught up in going back and forth with defending points of view and a lot of times it has nothing to do with the rest of us. It can be daunting to scroll past, so for me it's easier to moderate...I can see where there are ignored posts and choose to view them and interact if it's something more general, but if it appears to be like I mentioned, then I just scroll past to the next relevant post or comment. I wish we had better choices than just fully blocking someone, but we don't. You should notice I still interact with you and others pretty regularly. Anyway, if you or anyone else cared to know, that's what it is.

When was the last time we kept all our draft picks either 53 man roster or practice squad through the entire season? I’m not worried about BJ. Maybe I should be as I don’t have a reason why I’m not.
You think all nine draft picks make the roster?

Maybe, but isn’t that really an indication of how hollowed out it was heading into April?

Every draft pick made the roster LAST YEAR.

They move back to Hardy Drive well before the final countdown date. I don't think that the Cards' facility can accommodate fans or they'd prefer not to.

The Cards facility has three full-size fields, one of which is inside a climate-controlled practice bubble.

Yes, Fans are probably another aspect. But I assume they also don't have the changing rooms for 90 people in Tempe? Considering one of the complaints has been lack of space in the changing rooms there when it's down to 53 and the PS.

Another reason is they are practicing at the stadium is they can have the roof closed at Glendale and they don't have space for everyone in the Bubble, something they mentioned in yesterday's release about the turf upgrades.

So probably a number of reasons.

On saying that they are moving back to Tempe after preseason game 1 with 90 so they will have to squeeze in somehow.

So I talked with my friend who works with the Cardinals. Saw him working with the players when I went to training camp and noticed that the vibe looked different out there. He confirmed what I saw. Said that practices are much more crisp and there are no excuses this year. Players are being held accountable and as far as he can tell everyone is buying in.

He did say that under Monti the workplace has improved a ton. The toxic environment that was festering under Keim has been replaced by one of respect. He said that JG really has practices under control and has a clear vision for how things should be done. Where Kliff looked like a lost sheep in his first training camp, JG is confident and so far has the respect of his players and coaches.

You apparently have not recognized there are some self proclaimed experts who hang around. If they are unemployed, or just do not care to work, they should consider becoming coordinators on a pee wee (rip) league flag team and spread their expertise. I make it a point in my personal and business life not to try to
elevate myself at the expense of another persons opinion or point of view...you'll never see a comment from me on this venue like that. Ciao.

I will say, he was compliant and contrite...so that's something. He's definitely not his cousin.

I wonder if the Chandler Jones trade never happened, how much quicker do we move away from Keim?

the CJ trade and like one or two others kept him around. Maybe Hop for David Johnson? what else?

Don’t get me wrong but what is an employee of the organization supposed to say? Even as a Friend? Was he badmouthing The previous regime to you in person while employed? That helps with context.
