Cardinals OLB BJ Ojulari Gets Honest on Season-Ending Injury

The Arizona Cardinals were counting on a handful of players to take the next step in 2024, though perhaps none more on the defensive side of the ball than second-year edge rusher BJ Ojulari. Ojulari flashed some promise towards the tail end of his rookie campaign, and with the Cardinals not...

Sources: Virginia Tech is targeting Arizona Cardinals LB coach Sam Siefkes as the school’s new defensive coordinator. Siefkes is an integral part of the Cardinals' innovative NFL scheme, and he brings collegiate defensive coordinator experience, including a stint at Wofford.

Cardinals Near Last in NFL Viewership Rankings

As PHNX's Bo Brack points out, it doesn't help that Arizona's only appearance on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers was the second part of a doubleheader and was relegated to ESPN+ members. Arizona's finish to the regular season also didn't help, as the Cardinals going 2-5...

Changes coming to the Arizona Cardinals defensive staff. The Cards parted ways with DL coach Derrick LeBlanc, per
@AaronWilson_NFL
. LB coach Sam Siefkes took the Va Tech DC job. The Cards offensive staff remains intact.

I don't actually think that position coaches matter much, but this is an interesting thing.

After similar rookie seasons, Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. hopes to build out career like father Marvin Harrison Sr.

Hopefully the next D-Line coach can help elevate the play of Jones and/or Nichols.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Dave Borgonzi, the Bears' linebacker coach, now that they have gotten a new head coach. Gannon have worked with him for many years, and he was a finalist for the DC job before Rallis got it. Of course, he could go with Eberflus to the Cowboys.

Could also be that they move Rob Rodriguez from outside linebacker-coach to his more natural defensive line-coach position. That would create room for Gannon's best friend, Brandon Staley, to get back to his previous job as outside linebacker-coach (reports say that he is probably out as a Niners-coach).

Two coaches gone and my biggest offseason surprise is that neither worked with WRs. That group exhibited poor fundamentals, such as coming back to a QB who was scrambling. They also didn’t match going cross field to parallel a QB on the move. They showed a lack of technique in gaining separation. Finally there seemed to be a lack of awareness of the line to gain. None of these are stunning faults in young receivers, but the absence of any improvement as the season progressed is concerning.

The problem they have here is both Baker and Thompson are Strong safeties. Neither is going to fill the free safety position. With Baker solidified as the starting SS, Thompson has no real position other than to continue to struggle as a FS who can't cover. Hopefully they can work out a trade for Thompson and get something in return instead of an outright cut.
