They will never hire Tice to replace Green though, Bidwill isn't that dumb.
Agree. Clancy Pendergast would be first in line. Not saying that is good but more likely per past Cardinal management moves.

In the past few games Shipp's blitz pickup has really started to decline and JJ has been the better runnner. It seems to me that Shipp is already starting to wear down and still hasn't found the end zone. Why not play JJ?

In his last 2 games Shipp has 27 carries, and 30 yards, Arrington has 9 carries for 44 yards. Last 10 carries 57 yards.

So Far Shipp is averaging 8 yards per catch, Arrington just under 6, so Shipp is doing better there and that along with blitz pickup may be why he's playing more in passing situations while people keep wondering why we're not throwing to JJ to get him in space more often.

I think it's logical that JJ will get more carries and SHipp less but it won't be immediately, just as Shipp had to earn his carries when JJ started so slowly and then missed that game with the flu.

And if JJ does get more carries, he better take advantage of them.
