Going back to a 3-4

let's see how he does.

It may take 4-6 weeks like it did with Horton and Bowles but the D will be much improved this year. The offense not being historically record-setting in 3 and outs again will help too.

I had nothing.
I just wanted to start a thread to keep track of the defense.

I know I was just messing with you. It’s nice to actually discuss defense for a change.

Nice.

Interesting piece in one of the NYC dailies on Markus Golden and Jim Bettcher

There is an odd silence about this guy. Not being in the draft room, not being talked about, etc.

I thought that was weird also, maybe he knew the Cardinals would take alot of offensive players & didn't feel like he needed to be there? Maybe he had something going on & was excused by the FO?

Agree about the odd silence... but was Bettcher in the draft room? Previous coordinators? I don't recall, but wouldn't expect it. As long as he was involved in setting the draft board, I don't see why he'd need to be in the draft room.

Sorry. I don't do links (Don't have the skill-set).

I read a hard-copy of the article. (Don't have an on-line version to establish a link - if I even knew how to do that).

I really enjoyed the VJ interview. Very intelligent, well spoken, and low key. He wasn't a great HC, but I don't think he was horrible either. The QB position, or lack thereof, really doomed his chances in Denver. If he can resurrect himself in AZ, I definitely see this guy getting another HC job at some point in time. Our offense will be light years better than last year, so this year's D won't be on the field to the same extent as they were last year. That alone will result in a turnaround on D. Losing PP21 for 6 games sucks, but I like the fact that VJ cut his teeth coaching DB's. If he creates one of the better defenses in the conference, he could be a HC again 2-3 years down the road. I like him, and hope he gets another shot.

The part I found most interesting was when asked about a player to keep our eyes on, he immediately fawned over Dennis “The Barbarian” Gardeck. VJ mentioned how he’s 6’2”, runs a 4.5, and possesses heavy hands for a backer.

Sounds to me like they expect big things from Gardeck and not all that concerned about ILB depth behind Hicks & Reddick. Let’s not forget they have Joe Walker and also picked up Tanner Vallejo, who was highly desired by several teams on the waiver wire.

Speaking of the Cardinals War Room. I recognized MB, SK and KK. But there were three or four other guys that I didn't recognize, though one might have been Mark Dalton. Does anyone know?

Grigson was there. He was the one who Keim was talking to after picking Murray. He said something like "Murray is going to light that stadium on fire."

 

[Jetstream Green]

Holcomb was maybe the most crapliscious coach the Cardinals ever had as a DC... Joseph could be snorting crack on the sidelines and still be more effective

How does director of player personnel compare to assistant director of player personnel and vice president of player personnel?

Director is likely below vice and above assistant.

He was probably snorting Wilks crack lol. He damn sure knew nothing about calling a defense. Poor Browns, they are supposed to be good this yr, but Steve Wilks is their new DC to pin their hopes on. Just wait till they see the deer in the headlights look when the Bengals, Steelers & Ravens are lighting them up lol. I have a good friend whom is a big Browns fan, he wants us to go to a sports bar & watch the Cardinals/Browns game this yr. I agreed but warned him about how terrible Wilks is, can't wait till the game to say "I told you so" lol.
