Let's get this straight. So the coaches call Eno on Saturday night at hotel to tell him his role will be diminished vs. Rams because James Conner will get the bulk. Eno gets pissed and Keim cuts him? You WANT guys to get pissed about less playing time. #RCforGM

Yet another Keim position gaffe. Josh was tried at RT, was miscast as a G, and finally in yr 3 he is clicking at LT which has always been "home" for him. How much longer can this continue w Steve Keim? FYI, it's year 3 with Isaiah and they're still trying to find his "home."

Isaiah Adams (6-5, 315) is tailor made to play mauler G in the Cardinals wide zone blocking scheme. He excels in zone blocking. He's also played T but he's a natural G in the NFL. Was Jim Nagy's offensive sleeper at Senior Bowl. Nagy had Michael Wilson last year as his sleeper.

The man who reversed the script the most is K1 himself. Last yr he showed 100% commitment to being a leader. The way he rehabbed was tenacious and courageous. He's become humble and hungry. The way he played, esp. the last 2 games, was inspiring. K1 did this himself. Credit him.

Frankly some mistakes Kyler made today were reminiscent of his and offense's struggles last yr. However, what you see/hear from Kyler in this post-game presser is about as mature and introspective as your'e going to get from a QB. 180 degrees from last yr. The QB is owning it.

Splendid🐦🏈 signing of Zach Ertz, finally making TE a priority. With Ertz making $10+M a year, it's very likely the Cardinals will sign an affordable WR and add another in the NFL Draft. Just a hunch, RB Chase Edmonds is on deck for 3/$16M.

Zaven Collins 6-4, 265, is a throwback LB who plays downhill to ball and knocks snot out of RBs. What makes him special is he's surprisingly natural/instinctive in coverage, plus he's a fierce pass rusher. I think MIKE is his best spot, but might start at SAM.🐦🏈

Malik Nabers is 6-0, 195. Justin Jefferson is 6-1, 195. Both are speedy, super-quick separators, w 37"+ verticals for 50/50 balls. The name of the game at WR in NFL is separation, not size. If MHJ is off the board, Malik Nabers would be a 🐦🏈A+, Justin Jefferson type of pick.

The 🐦🏈needed a big splash to bring excitement and renewed hope back to Arizona and reuniting Kyler Murray with Hollywood Brown is like Hail Murray Part 2. Credit Steve Keim, Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler for working together to make it happen.⭐️

@JohnnyVenerable @PHNX_Cardinals Man, in 20 min, you, JTD, and Bo did more to show the genuine side of JG than we ever see in pressers. JG's heart in the right place putting people first. You brought the best out in him and he in you. The dude listens and connects. Best interview I've seen of JG. A+ PHNX kudos.

If🐦🏈 signs Lou Anarumo it's a home run. Lou loves a challenge. He signed on with the Bengals when they were worst in the league. With the Cardinals he rebuild it in his unique way, if they give him the autonomy.

Thank you JJ Watt for embracing the Cardinals and the community in every way imaginable. You are as inspirational a leader of men, both on and off the field, as any player who ever donned the uniform and buckled up the chinstrap. You belong in the 🐦🏈Ring of Honor.❤️💯

Andy Reid blames injuries to K Butker and CB McDuffie on State Farm turf. You know what? He is 100% correct. Cards have never been able to keep the field dry and with 🐦🏈team playing on it during camp, maybe that's why there are so many ankle, knee and calf injuries. Brutal.

It would be better for Patrick Peterson to play for a new team. He's gotten stale in Arizona. He needs a different GM, set of coaches, teammates in order to allow the energy of a new program be the impetus for him to regain his focus and mojo. A ticket to Canton may depend on it.

The pearl in this oyster of a clause (now removed) by Michael Bidwill is, Kyler Murray🐦🏈 showed precisely at his impromptu presser yesterday what a gritty competitor looks and sounds like. Has Kyler ever appeared at an NFL podium more resolute, confident and articulate?

Watching Brian Flores and Lou Anarumo get shunned has been two more letdowns in what has been the most agonizing 14 months of my🐦🏈 fandom. That said, I wish to give Monti Ossenfort, Jonathan Gannon and the 2023 team a fresh slate, a swift reset and all the hope in my heart.

If and when Kyler starts games- you have to want the team to win- you can't have it both ways. Kyler is not coming back to lose games and it would be an insult to him and the team to wish otherwise. There is only one way to play this grueling game, any other way is bogus. Go🐦🏈!

It would be a total shock if the Cards cut Justin Pugh. He's loved by DJ, Kugs, Beach, and is coming off his best season in ARI. Gave up 1 sack last year. Give the guy the credit and respect that he deserves. He's part of the solution, not the problem.

If Cards can't get a deal done before FA, they absolutely have to place the f-tag on H. Reddick to be able to match other offers or get draft picks in return. Reddick is a 21st C 3 down LB who is dynamic in pass rush, quick to the ball in run support and sticky in coverage.

Sources: The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who 10 months ago signed a contract extension through the 2027 season. The Cardinals still never have had a head coach - any head coach - last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years.

Happy for C. Kirk. But, the notion that Kirk didn't thrive as much as he could bc of Kyler Murray is absurd. How many times did Kyler thread the needle or lay it in the basket for Kirk into very tight windows? Kirk is not a quick-twitch separator or blazer (4.46). Needs ace QB.

To give 🐦🏈 new HC a fighter's chance, this time MB needs to let HC hire his own guys; let him open up all positions to competition; sync GM/HC on draft picks, FAs; give HC final say on 54 man roster/starters. If not, MB is not casting a net, he's setting another mouse trap.

Cards pundits saying JJ Watt to replace Zach Allen as starter 34 DE. Allen in 7 starts had 35 tackles, 3 pass breakups, 2 sacks, w/ tackling grade of 79.9. Jordan Phillips in 9 starts had 11 tackles, 2 forc fumbls, 2 sacks w/ tackling grade of 33.5. Allen should start opp. Watt.

Brian Flores and Lou Anarumo have called plays in AFC Championship Games and Super Bowls. They are the most qualified of 🐦🏈HC candidates, now that Frank Reich, Dan Quinn and Sean Payton have left the building. Does Michael Bidwill want a champion? Or a crony?

When Kyler is dialed in like when he plays at AT&T stadium, his spirited play transcends coaching. Kyler can fix Kyler in ways no coach can, that is, if he is motivated by humbleness and teamwork. Providing him with a strong OL and a top 10 defense is what's paramount.

If you want to look at a Kliff Kingsbury style of offense, watch the Eagles games this year. They are taking page after page out of K2's playbook -- classic Air Raid"mesh" passing plays, QB draws, cross-corner routes, delay screens, a gamut of RPOs. QB Jalen Hurts is crushing it.
