solid leadership from the top is necessary, but isnt sufficient

you need leadership within the ranks to make things work

in the military setting: a really good NCO group could make a company work with a mediocre commanding officer

but a really good officer had a very had time making a platoon work with a mediocre NCO group
My thoughts exactly.

Kingsbury just has to set the tone, but the position coaches and players are the real leaders in the organization.

Except that green and watt both already got hurt. We don’t even know when watt will be back. And your comment about “just like any player” needs be modified to “just like any OLDER player” bc these aren’t 24 year olds.
Trust me, Watt isn’t injured to the point where he can’t practice. The Cardinals know what he’s capable of. I don’t care a lick if he practices this entire preseason. Doesn’t matter. Just have him ready to go in the opener.

Hmm we’ve literally never seen them do this with anyone else before if what you say is true. Not even Fitz. Could be true, but seems like BS theory.

None of them have to be pro bowlers. They just have to be better than who they replace.

Watt has be to be better than Blackson or Zach Allen. Not hard.

Green has to be better than Kirk, Isabella and Johnson.

Hudson has to be better than Mason Cole.

Butler has to be better than the shadow of P2

Alford has to be better than Kirkpatrick.

I'll be honest, I can't see any of them failing to achieve that low bar.
Except for their availability…the most important ability of all.
