Mason Cole didn't know the offense when he was here. It would be a surprise if he knew it now.

I kinda want Cole spilling "secrets" to the Vikings...lol

Gus Johnson is B squad?! Give me B squad all day long then!!

Aqib Talib is awful. He did one of our games and it was the worst.

His taylor gets A for effort for that game.

Gus is great. Talib is hard to understand sometimes, but his knowledge seems pretty darn good to me.

I thought Talib was great, honestly.

Really? I loved Talib...

Are the Vikes gonna have any starters playing on defense?
We might need to just slow it down and run the clock out

 

[FB94]

Hmmm, Vikings defense missing some guys, we come off a solid victory and get positive press all week. I hope the Cards keep focus and bring it.

You have to have a special kind of bad day to lose to this Jags team

We are historically great at allowing rookie QBs their breakout game.

 

[THESMEL]

Well I would like to see consistency regardless of the opponent - little more balance early, i mean nice to have the pass open the run game, but want to test the ability to run first, open up the air red from a position of power.

That would be a killer suit for Christmas.

 

[slanidrac16]

I want to see them attacking. Especially Breeland. If Green is worth anything I would think this is a great match up and time to show it.

Yes, but I'll be there with the family so they got a chance. @Buckybird

When I look past his clothing and the way he speaks and actually listen to the words he says, I really like the guy and what he brings to the table.

 

[Shane]

Yes, but I'll be there with the family so they got a chance. @Buckybird

Why would you do that to us all

 

[WisconsinCard]

Why would you do that to us all

Cuz you guys didn't pay us to stay away. If I'm correct this will be stadium number 23 and I think it's the only team we have not see the cards play live.

Steve Keim on Chandler Jones: We’re not in business of moving on from good players​

Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones confirmed earlier this week he asked for a trade this offseason after not getting an extension. He told reporters to ask General Manager Steve Keim for details.

So Keim was asked about it Friday during his appearance on 98.7 Arizona Sports Station.

“Any conversations with our players and specific agents remain confidential,” Keim told Burns and Gambo, via Darren Urban of the team website.

Jones is making $15.5 million in the final year of his current contract. That ranks 13th in cash spent at his position this season, according to overthecap.com.

Jones gave Keim’s coat pocket a friendly pat Sunday after the three-time Pro Bowler made five sacks and forced two fumbles. The gesture prompted Keim to say Jones was “rubbing the wrong pockets.”

“We’re not in the business of moving on and getting rid of good football players,” Keim said. “That’s a pretty easy answer.”

Keim, though, wouldn’t reveal where Jones’ desire for a contract extension stands.

“You always want to get good players under contract,” Keim said. “But there are always a million different moving parts. I have to continue to look at the roster moving forward, generally from a three-year standpoint.”

The Steelers last week signed T.J. Watt to a four-year, $112 million extension to remain in Pittsburgh through at least 2025, so Jones surely is looking for a similar deal.

Jones, 31, tore a biceps in Week 5 of last year, which ended his season after only one sack. He led the league with 17 sacks in 2017, part of a five-year run of double-digit sacks from 2015-19. He had 19 sacks and led the league with eight forced fumbles in 2019.

The Cardinals ruled LB Devon Kennard (hamstring) out and listed T Kelvin Beachum (ribs) as questionable.
