The 2018 Arizona Cardinals are 2-8 at Thanksgiving. But
Youth Andre Smith Jersey , from this fan’s perspective, there is much to be thankful about with regard to my beloved Birdgang.There a number of players on this team who, no matter what the record, are steadfast exemplars of humbleness. Cases in point:11—-WR Larry Fitzgerald.Has an NFL player ever displayed more class than Larry Legend?Has a star, sure-fire Hall of Fame worthy player who has played his entire career for a franchise that has never won a Super Bowl, ever been more loyal?When asked about playing in 2019: “If I am not playing in Arizona, I won’t be playing anywhere.”“Playing in the same place for 15 years is a true blessing.”No player took last week’s 23-21 loss to the Raiders harder as he left the locker room hastily and visibly upset.31—-RB David JohnsonNicknamed the Humble Rumble for good reasons.Always expressing ways in which he needs improve.Has come on like gangbusters the last few weeks.Never complained about being used so predictably and unimaginatively the first few weeks of the season.When asked about being compared to some of the great RBs in NFL history, Johnson said, “The biggest thing is it’s just a great honor just to be talked amongst those guys, compared to those guys. I always think about everything that I went through. That’s what I always think about is, man, think of where I was growing up and then think of where I was even college and having to work so hard to get to this spot. I’m so proud, and I’m so gracious of everyone who’s helped me get here.”55—-DE Chandler Jones.No player in the NFL has recorded more sacks in the last four years than Chandler Jones. When asked about his stardom, Jones repeatedly says that he can and needs to improve. “You could say I’ve played well enough and I’ve been happy with it, but I’m not satisfied. There are so many plays that I’m leaving out there on the field, so many times I’ve slipped off the QB.”“I know guys say that but if you watch the film, it’s true. A lot of that is on me. I’ve got to play better. I’ve got to finish plays. I’ve got to take the quarterback down. I can do more to help us win games.”41—-Antoine BetheaAntoine Bethea is 34 years old and is still playing with youthful exuberance and supreme toughness. “There have been a lot of guys that have played at a high level at this position,” Bethea said. “You won’t be moving like you were in year one, year two, but the knowledge of the game, it helps you get to the ball quicker. I still love playing the game. It’s still fun. It’s intriguing. Plus, I love seeing the new guys come in every year and being able to pass my knowledge on to them. That’s important to me.”Bethea is a stickler about the fundamentals, particularly in displaying form tackling, which is why he won NFL Week 5 “Way To Play” award:
http://www.nfl.com/videos/tnf-first-look/0ap3000000972757/Antoine-Bethea-receives-Week-5-s-NFL-Way-to-Play-award“The most important thing I’ve learned is paying attention to details. Details help you win, but if you don’t pay attention to them, they can definitely help you lose.”When asked what trends do we currently see in the NFL that he likes or dislikes, Bethea said, “The new trend I like is seeing is players exchanging their jerseys after games. At the end of the day, we all respect each other and the work we put in. There is nothing wrong with being fans of your peers.” “I go to Indy and after my eighth year, they feel as though I’m losing a step. I go play at San Fran for three years, on top of my game, and they tell me, ‘We want to get younger.’ I come here and I’m too old. In every aspect since I’ve been in the league, I still feel as though I’m an underdog. I still feel like I’m fighting it.”“I’m pretty good at not letting it (losing) drag me down, because at the end of the day, regardless of what it is, we are in a blessed situation,” Bethea said. “To be in here with a great group of guys and a great coaching staff, to play a game, and get paid well for it -- in the big scheme of things, it’s great.”Fitzgerald is starting to heat up. He leads the team with 4 TD receptions and 23 first down conversions. Talk about heating up? Johnson amassed 357 all-purpose yards the last 2 games. Jones has 10.5 sacks in 10 games (3rd in NFL). Bethea leads the Cardinals in tackles with 80 (11th in NFL
Stitched Tre Boston Jersey , 2nd in NFL for DBs). While all three of these standout Cardinals are manifesting stellar leadership, there are a couple of young Cardinals who appear to be following in a similar track.The pre-draft rap on QB Josh Rosen was that he is brash and arrogant. Sure, when he was drafted 10th overall he vowed to make the teams who passed on him regret it. But, in his short time in Arizona has been refreshingly humble and self-critical. He has taken a pounding in some games and never once used that as an excuse; instead he has factored it into his learning curve. In a lead-up to heading back to LA this week to play the Chargers, Rosen summarized his response to the Cardinals current futility as: “Just trying to stay positive through the whole thing, I mean, it’s (losing’s) frustrating 鈥?But $20 million of your salary cap is going to a quarterback that’s not playing and you got your OC [offensive coordinator] fired. It’s just trying to stay positive and keep all the guys going in the right direction.”On the other side of the ball, the Cardinals have a fast emerging star in Budda Baker. Baker has always been told he is too small to play safety in the NFL and he is still trying to cope with the tragic murder of his brother. In interviews, Baker is very modest and soft-spoken, but when he dons the pads, he goes all out, play-in and play-out. As with Josh Rosen, whose focus is more on his teammates than on himself, Baker revealed recently that he joins the Cardinals’ fans when they chant “Larry! Larry!”Baker said, “It’s the same thing for us. How is he, 34, 35? He’s still doing what he’s doing right now. I can only aspire to be that. I’m 22. I’m young. Him doing that, I’m with the chants. Every time they’re chanting, ‘Larry!’ I’m chanting ‘Larry!’ as well.”Thank you Larry, David, Chandler, Antoine, Josh and Budda for keeping things real and for providing hope through humble leadership. You are not the only ones—-and you would be the first to say that.Thank you to the Cardinals organization, the players, the coaches, the front office and the Bidwill family—-through thick and thin, you are my favorite team on the planet.Thank you fellow Birdgangers—-and especially my fellow ROTB members—-walking this journey with you on a daily basis is a privilege and an honor. And lastly, thank you Seth Cox, for being the straw that stirs the drink and the wizard behind the curtain. Revenge of the Birds wouldn’t be what it is today without your diligent leadership.As Tiny Tim would say, “God bless us, everyone!”Disaster in the desert: Playing the blame game after Arizona Cardinals 0-2 start I’m at a loss for words. Even though an 0-2 start was certainly possible, no one thought it would be like this. In the first two games under Steve Wilks, the Cardinals have scored 6 points total. After a 34-0 throttling in Los Angeles, we’ve totaled a paltry 350 yards, gained 19 first downs, and committed 18 penalties through two games. Only the Buffalo Bills have a worse point differential than our -52—and even they have managed to score 23 points.Local radio, Twitter, and, of course, our own RotB comment section are rife with finger-pointing. Steve Wilks. Mike McCoy. Steve Keim. Sam Bradford. (A whole lotta Sam Bradford.) With such absolute ineptitude on both sides of the ball through two weeks, it’s hard to truly say who is to blame for the smoldering bucket of feces our team has resembled thus far.But someone has to wade through the reeking detritus. While no one individual or group on the field or sidelines is 100% to blame for this disastrous start
Youth Tre Boston Jersey , it shouldn’t be too hard to get to that 100% figure given what we’ve seen. So let’s flex our pointer fingers and figure out exactly how we got to this dark place we’ve found ourselves in.5% Blame – CB Jamar TaylorA familiar weak spot reared its ugly head yesterday. Taylor wasn’t great last week (three penalties), and he was blistered by Brandin Cooks yesterday to the tune of 4 receptions for 106 yards (plus another defensive holding penalty against Cooper Kupp for a first down). The CB spot across from Patrick Peterson has been in flux for years, and Taylor looks to be the latest in a long line of letdowns there.10% Blame – Steve WilksSteve Wilks doesn’t call plays on either side of the ball for the Cardinals, but you can’t have watched the team play the last two weeks and not assign some blame to the head coach. I was willing to give him a bit of a pass after last week (first game jitters), but when you follow almost the exact same game script again and all you have to say after the game is that it felt like d茅j脿 vu, that tells me you didn’t do your job this week. Cardinals fans should be expecting major changes in gameplan, personnel, and, especially, effort next week against the Bears. But if we get more of the same, is it too soon to start wondering if Wilks has what it takes to be an NFL head coach?15% Blame – Offensive LineOn paper, the Redbirds’ O-line hasn’t looked terrible—3 sacks given up, 4.1 YPC for our RBs (28 carries for 115 yards). But watching the games, our blocking has been a huge issue in both the running and passing games. David Johnson has had to create a lot of yards after contact, Sam Bradford has been under pressure a ton, and they had 5 penalties yesterday. We just need our O-line to get at least a little push in the run game, keep the pocket somewhat clean for our QB, and limit the penalties. So far, we haven’t even gotten that, and it’s hard to see the blocking getting any better.15% Blame – LinebackersOkay, Josh Bynes has played pretty well with 17 tackles (12 solo) and a pass defended, but Deone Bucannon and Haason Reddick have been badly abused by opposing running backs both on the ground and in the air. Out of position, slow to the ball, not recognizing plays—it’s hard to remember that these guys are both former 1st-round picks. With the majority of our defensive snaps coming in the nickel, we just need one of these supposedly athletic specimens to step up, and they haven’t been able to—they only had a tackle apiece yesterday. I don’t know if they’re just struggling to adapt to the 4-3 or what, but it looks like we’ll be seeing more of Gerald Hodges (5 tackles versus the Rams) moving forward.25% Blame – QB Sam BradfordI’m sure this number looks too low to many of you, but I have a hard time saying that Bradford is 100% to blame for our offensive woes. Remember that this is the same QB who set the single-season record for completion percentage just two years ago. Now, obviously, he’s looked terrible so far (59% completion percentage, 153 yards, 4.5 YPA, 27.6 QBR), but Bradford can only operate in the offensive system that’s been installed, throw to the guys on the field, and rely on the O-line in front of him. Yes, he’s been AWFUL, but he’s been put in a situation where almost no QB could succeed. Does anyone really think Josh Rosen would have done any better? Given the low bar, I suppose it’s possible, but I’m personally glad that Rosen has been viewing this all from the sideline instead of trying to produce in a no-win situation. Rosen will get his chance, and soon
Stitched Ricky Seals-Jones Jersey , but it’s foolhardy to suggest we’d be any better off if he had played these past two games.30% Blame – Mike McCoyTo me, McCoy is more to blame than just about anyone else. The offensive numbers speak for themselves—3.7 yards per play, 4/20 on third down, 1 touchdown in 20 drives, 6 total points. We didn’t even cross midfield until there were 30 seconds left yesterday. And, most alarmingly, DJ has touched the ball just 28 times (for 118 yards) in two games. So much for that 1000/1000 season, huh? It’s hard to fathom that an offense with an OPOY candidate, one of the best WRs to ever suit up, and one of the most accurate QBs of all time has been this inept. The offensive has been absolutely embarrassing, and, frankly, McCoy deserves be fired midseason for the second time in two years. This performance cannot and should not be tolerated. Turn the offense over to Byron Leftwich or Kirby Wilson and see what happens. Of course, that begs the question of why McCoy was hired in the first place鈥?00% Blame – Steve KeimI’m sure the more numerically astute among you noticed that we reached 100% blame with McCoy. But, of course, who hired McCoy and Wilks? Who signed Taylor and Bradford? Who put together the offensive line and linebacking corps? Obviously, the answers to those questions are Steve Keim, Steve Keim, and Steve Keim. And, because of those and many other decisions, I lay 100% of the blame for this unacceptable start at the feet of our GM, Steve Keim.Keim drafted well his first three years as the organization’s head man, and became a fan favorite for his “Keim Time” signings. But he has whiffed on the draft for several years running, and his talent for finding veteran diamonds in the rough has seemingly dried up.Over the past few years, he tried to work with former coach Bruce Arians to mold the roster to his coach’s tendencies (not in itself a bad idea), but when BA rode off into the sunset, rather than churning an aging roster, he hired a coach who was the complete opposite of BA—and then failed to bring in enough players who fit his new coach’s defensive scheme. These puzzling decisions were then compounded by his well-documented off-the-field issues. If Keim hadn’t recently signed an extension, he’d probably be on the hot seat right now鈥?and I’m not sure that Michael Bidwill isn’t considering all his options right now anyway. Our start has been that bad. And there is no one more to blame than Steve Keim.Final ThoughtsSo where do we go from here? According to Steve Wilks, “everybody will be evaluated.” We can assume that will mean guys like Bradford, Chad “0 Catches on 3 Targets” Williams, Bucannon, Taylor, etc. But that’s just on the field. If Keim wants to save his job—and if this season continues to careen off the cliff like it has, he had better not have a job at the end of it—he’d better be thinking long and hard about a change at offensive coordinator. That’s the most logical move to me at this point. And I don’t even know if that would be enough to save the season.It’s been a rough couple of weeks, Cardinals fans—much rougher than most of us anticipated. So, where are you at with the team? Whose fault is this start? What changes do you want to see before the Week 3 game against the Bears? Let’s play the blame game in the comments.
