In..."In the Arizona Republic the other day, Kent Somers opined that if Steve Keim really meant he hadn’t decided on what to do with the #1 pick in this week’s NFL Draft, then it was cry for help. In short order, Somers offered his advice: (1) Stick with Josh Rosen; (2) Try to trade down within the top 10 to add more picks; (3) or take DE Nick Bosa or DT Quinnen Williams at #1. For the sake of some added context---let’s go back a few months and trace Kent Somers’ op-eds on Steve Keim and Kliff Kingsbury.In late December, Somers staunch advocated for the Cardinals’ firing of Steve Wilks, but he strongly felt that Michael Bidwill should retain Steve Keim as GM. Maybe Michael Bidwill was listening, because Wilks was made the chief scapegoat and Keim was lauded by Bidwill for his overall record as GM.Less than a month later, Kent Somers tweeted his incredulity and utter displeasure when it was announced that the Cardinals were interested in interviewing Kliff Kingsbury for the head coaching vacancy. Then, when Kingsbury was hired---a decision that Steve Keim played a significant part in---Somers issued a harsh critique of the move.Somers’ disapproval of the the Kingsbury hire is an important context, because it should come as no surprise that today (April 20th) Somers’ advice to Steve Keim is bascially not to listen to Kliff Kingsbury.The selection of Kyler Murray at #1 is as simple as this---if Kliff Kingsbury and Tom Clements concur that Kyler Murray gives them a better to succeed than Josh Rosen, then that’s all anyone needs to hear, especially Steve Keim. That is, unless you want Kliff Kingsbury to fail and if he fails, then Steve Keim’s days as an NFL GM will be over for good. Not sure even Somers can help him this time.Keim hired Kingsbury. Keim’s NFL future is linked now to Kingsbury---just as Kingsbury’s should be to Kyler Murray Robert Nkemdiche Jersey 2019 , not Josh Rosen.Kent Somers predicts that Kyler Murray will likely become a good QB in the NFL if he doesn’t go running back to baseball after getting injured. But, he insists Murray is no Mayfield, Luck, Manning or Mahomes. But, Kyler Murray matched and even in some ways exceeded Baker Mayfield’s Heisman winning numbers in 2017. It could be argued that because Mayfield is not especially swift of foot, he actually may be more likely to incur injury than Murray, who is an escape artist in avoiding tackles. Moreover, in terms of evenly distributing the ball, Kyler Murray helped 4 of his playmakers exceed1,000 scrimmage yards + double digits in TDs. That is a remarkable achievement, one of which Kurt Warner would especially approve. Add to that, Murray gained over 1,000 yards rushing and double digit rushing TDs himself. He directly resulted in 54 TDs.Somers says that he watched nearly every one of Murray’s snaps at Oklahoma last year and is said to be an avid Sooner fan, which makes it very surprising that he didn’t recognize Murray’s superior passing and running skills to Rosen’s. Kingsbury preaches creativity when plays break down---which is an art for Murray and a bane thus far for Rosen in college and in his first year in the NFL. As for Somers’ advice to move out of the #1 pick and trade down, that would be the classic old Cardinals’ passive aggressive “get rid of the hot potato” move---coming ironically in a year when they finally added Terrell T-Sizzle Suggs to their roster https://www.thecardinalslockerroom.com/authentic-andy-isabella-jersey , after the Cardinals decided in Suggs’ draft year to pass on him in order to trade down for WR Brant Johnson and DE Calvin Pace instead, in what turned out to be one the Cardinals most egregious draft gaffes.Like Kent Somers said in his article, it’s hard to imagine that the Cardinals don’t know yet who they are picking because they have been on the clock since December 30th. This draft can be owned by the Arizona Cardinals. They can bask in the limelight. To trade the pick out and have another team celebrate the joy and excitement of drafting Kyler Murray would cast yet another shadow on the Cardinals deepening stigma of irrelevance. Lastly, Steve Keim devoted the draft in 2018 to helping Mike McCoy be a hit as offensive coordinator, at the expense of ignoring key holes on the team’s defense, created by the loss of Tyrann Mathieu and numerous free agents the past few years. Only one defensive player was drafted and he couldn’t even make the team. What kind of help was that for a rookie defensive minded head coach?By passing on Kyler Murray, a player who comes in with a mastery of the key principles and nuances of Kingsbury’s offense, would be akin to tying one hand behind Kingsbury’s back.Maybe Somers wants to be proven right that the Cardinals’ hiring of Kliff Kingsbury was an inane, colossal mistake. I frequently enjoy reading Kent Somers’ articles which is one of the main reasons why I subscribe to the Arizona Republic. But, I wish he could be more on board with the Cardinals doing everything in their power to help Kingsbury (and his swift tempo, high scoring) offense succeed. Yesterday, the Cardinals’ WR coach, David Raih, spent extensive time working out WR Jazz Ferguson (6-5, 227 Black Markus Golden Jersey , Northwestern St., 4.45) and Andy Isabella (5-9, 188, Massachusetts, 4.31) at their pro..."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Podcasts The Revenge of the Birds podcastFerguson and IsabellaNew,21comments Ferguson and IsabellaJohn David Mercer-USA TODAY SportsYesterday, the Cardinals’ WR coach, David Raih, spent extensive time working out WR Jazz Ferguson (6-5, 227, Northwestern St., 4.45) and Andy Isabella (5-9, 188, Massachusetts, 4.31) at their pro days.Jazz Ferguson Markus Golden Jersey 2019 , the brother of prize edge rusher Jaylon Ferguson (Louisiana Tech), was a 4 star recruit who accepted a full ride to LSU, but had off the field issues (drug related) and then transferred to Northwestern St. (Louisiana). At Northwestern St., Jazz was praised by the coaches for straightening out his life and his priorities, while performing at a high level in the program. This year Ferguson caught 66 passes for 1,113 yards (16.9 ave.) and 13 TDs. The combination of his 6-5 length and 4.45 speed has caught the attention of NFL GMs, scouts and coaches. Here is a highlight video:Andy Isabella has been steadily sprinting up draft boards thanks to his tremendous production at UMass, his impressive performance at the Senior Bowl and his eye-popping numbers at the Combine (4.31—-40, 15 reps—-@ 225, 36.6”—-VJ, 121”—-BJ and 6.75—-3C).Isabella showed outstanding versatility at UMass. He excelled as a wide out and as a slot WR. He runs every route on the route tree with great speed, crisp turns and acceleration. He has superb hands, although at times he tends to rely on body catches, something his pro coaches will try to help him amend. Here is a good highlight tape:Andy Isabella ‘s production numbers are staggering:Here are his lines from two games this year:vs. Liberty in a 62-59 3 OT W: 9 catches for 303 yards (33.3 ave.) and 2 TDs.@ Georgia in a 66-27 L: 15 catches for 219 yards (14.6 ave.) and 2 TDs.2018 season: 102 catches for 1,698 yards (16.6 ave.) and 13 TDs Black Josh Rosen Jersey , plus 11/79/7.2 ave./1 TD rushing.Career: 231 receptions for 3,526 yards (15.3 ave.) and 30 TDs, plus 40 rushes for 342 yards (8.6 ave.) and 2 TDs. Projections:Jazz Ferguson is very likely a 4th or 5th round pick.Andy Isabella could actually sneak into Round 1 because of the recent attention he’s been getting from the Kansas City Chiefs (who are looking for a speedy alternative to Tyreek Hill) and the New England Patriots (who predicate their offense around short to intermediate passes to slot WRs, TEs and RBs). I believe that the Cardinals would like to come out of this draft with a complimentary pair of WRs (speedy slot WR and an athletic tall WR). Ferguson and Isabella would appear to fit that bill. I also believe that if Andy Isabella is still on the board at the top of the second round, he will be one of their top targets at pick #33. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why the Cardinals hired Isabella’s passing game coordinator at UMass, Spencer Whipple, the son of former UMass head coach Mark Whipple. At the time the Cardinals hired Whipple, Isabella was thought of as a 3rd round pick. But, the Senior Bowl and Combine changed all of that. Today, Isabella appears to be lock as a top 50 pick.Perhaps like Ferdinand and Isabella did for Christopher Columbus, Ferguson and Isabella can help Kliff Kingsbury launch the discovery of an exciting “new world.” « How Dry Cleaning Can Save Your MoneyThe soon-to-be 26 year old former Gian » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
