The coaching choices were shitty, that was always going to be the issue. The biggest name got 100 million, traded their best player, and is sitting at 0-2. Our first choice was Pat Shurmur and he's 0-2. Adjusting to their personnel needs to be there first step, but the fact that that even needs to be typed is the issue right there. Agreed. Then I read this Urban article on the main board www.azcardinals.com/news/deone-bucannon-haason-reddick-and-the-linebacker-rotation and it makes me shake my head. Wilks will gut this team trying to build a Carolina 4-3 D. He's wasting 1st rd picks because he's doing what many posters on this and the Old board accused BA of, shaping the players to His systemrather than having a system that uses the Players talents best. Neither Buc nor Reddick are "busts" like some here want to post. They are being forced into new positions that they have never played before in their whole football life. Only very Special players can do that. And then when they struggle they get put on the sideline. With Wilks and Holcomb's 4-3 insistence they are going to wreck a decent D (they have already started). They think they can shape it in 1 year or 2 cause they're positive they will have at least 2 years to build it. Already they have cut one of the 3 players they brought in when they released Boehm and Holden, DT Garrison Smith. He should have Never been brought in in the 1st place and one of the 2, Boehm or Holden kept instead. I would rather have those 2 than Munyer and the now cut DT Smith. As I said before Wilks has very much to say about who gets on the team, very much more than the majority of posters here like to admit. They would rather point fingers at the GM, you know that "fat drunk" that they make jokes about while they swill their own beer every night. There is great sadness in Mudville, the Mighty Casey has struck out! Reddick was benched last year. We had Dansby next to DBuck and Rucker in front of him. SK is most certainly the problem. The overall depth and talent of this team has been decimated since we went to the NFC championship game. We are rebuilding. The problem is our drafts have been pretty thin to bad. We have gotten some good players but we have whiffed out right on two recent first rounders. This years draft looks great of Rosen pans out. |

No he wasn't. Where are you getting this from? He had 3 game starts last year. 20 total tackles, 6 in his first game. He was a backup player whose time on the field went down to virtually nothing toward the end of the season. He's a very athletic, nice kid who seems very smart. He just doesn't have the instincts to play inside LB and it showed last year. Most people thought he would be better on the outside. He's having trouble getting on the field. Can't blame that on the coaches. There's been plenty of smart athletic freaks who can't play linebacker in the NFL. |

He walked on at Temple and hard work and attitude took him to the top. So it's fair to say it could happen here. It's also fair he never really had the pedigree to play here and was just a huge overachiever in college. |

You do him a disservice Biggs. No I'm not I'm being honest. That was his single best game. In the second half of the season he was hardly getting snaps. PFF had him rated dog poop. As you point out he got 3 of his tackles on specials. After his first game he had 14 total tackles in 15 games. What you pointed out is his position is on special teams. The 4/3 3/4 doesn't matter in his case. He's a lousy linebacker last year and right now. Hopefully the light goes on at some point before his contract runs out. Granted he has been as productive as NK in his first 2 years. |

Good job Wilks, put him in with 4 mins left and game on the line. Not a halftime to know he has to mentally prepare himself, just throw him out there to win game.
Result was better than we could have hoped for. Says more about Rosen than coaching staff.
