That was terrible. I couldn't even watch it the entire video.

Nothing against Schofield, love him as a player, just a poor video.

I thought it was really good! lol

What is it you didn't like?

I learned something about a young player that could have a big impact. Very impressed with the Cardinals on this series. No complaints from this fan, but to everyone their own.

I don't know, just thought it was very "meh".

Different strokes, I guess.

If Scho and Acho keep coming along on their current trajectory, I think we could be set on the outside. Add a role player, sure...but give it a year before we start looking to invest in a starting OLB.

JMHO

(also, I haven't watched the video, yet)

Depends on who is available. If we can get a guy like Kamerion Wimbley, you pull the trigger. Not having a legit pass rushing OLB has made hoping Scho and Acho become serviceable seem like a good plan...but a good plan is getting a premier pass rusher here.

Sure, but at what cost? You re-construct the roster around Manning, but do you do it for a guy like Wimbley?

I'm not saying there isn't room to improve talent-wise; of course there is. These guys are unproven. But as the roster is constructed, we need to invest elsewhere, IMO. It's a gamble we have to take (the gamble=all but ignoring the starting OLB spots this offseason).

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm just as happy signing Wimbley, #2 receiver (whoever that is), Bell, Scott, resigning Marshall, and CC as I would be with Peyton and those players minus Wimbley and Marshall.

If you are in the minority I am right there with you.

I don't think Schofield will ever be good OLB. Guy is too raw and struggles a lot due to his lack of length and strength.

His struggles were mental and had to do with grasping the playbook. Didn't you listen to his rhymes? Sheesh.

He will be a solid/very good player once he can comprehend our complicated schemes.

Not really. The only time he shed blocks were when he was matched up against a RB.

Guy just doesn't have the physical tools to be good pass rusher.

Acho had 7 sacks in half a season in his first year. Projection may be silly, but the math says he could be a 10, 12, 14 sack player... and that seems elite to me.

He may be elite eventually, but Kamerion Wimbley is a proven commodity. He has been the shining gem on two really crappy teams. The guy has never had the talent around him like what he could have here next season.

I like Wimbley, but he's a 7 sack a season guy over his career. Hardly elite.

Have you gone through ACL reconstruction? Not trying to condescend, but shut up... O'Brien's story is badass, and we struck gold... He only gets better as it goes on....
