The Good, The Bad, -------

Neither has Ryan Williams done anything to speak of, and Housler didn't exactly show as a headliner either. I am not saying we should have taken Mallet, (only that he probably did as much as these two did). Let's face it. OUR OFFENSE STUNK !!!

How can someone who didn't take a snap in New England be deemed to have done as much as Housler who caught 45 passes?

The left tackle before Levi and I forget his name. The cornerback that left this year after spending one year with us. Last year King was pretty good, not true this year.

While Horton does not lack in this department, Haley is the prospect that really has this trait covered. It is hard to play a physical game if you don't have the fire in your belly.

Horton's strong suits are being able to think on the fly to make on-field adjustments, and to totally immerse himself in preparation to take on a particular offense. I did note, however, that his teams are not great tacklers. Many will simply not hit, and those that do, seldom wrap up the ball carrier.

I don't believe that Haley has as yet consented to participate in an interview, but it is clear that Michael would like to get that opportunity. There is a good history between the two, and Haley did light the fires in the belly of the offense.

So far as ability to identify a player's strengths and weaknesses, and to then coach to his strengths, Gruden, Horton, McCoy, and Haley have all shown the ability to do that. (That was Whiz' biggest drawback as a coach in my opinion).

Re: Haley - Doubt that guys buy into a the tough guy persona from someone who played golf in College. Horton has the advantage of having put his body on the line when he demands that others do. IMO

Interesting perspective, but I don't know what that has to do with anything. I guess we'll just have to let this play out and see won't we.

It has to do with your earlier claim that Haley was the epitome of the tough, hardnose football the Cards need to compete in the NFC west.

We've done great at drafting defense. Offense, not so much. But honestly how many good offensive picks have the Cardinals made in their history? Outside of WR, not many at all.
