Arizona Cardinals place rookie defensive lineman Zach Allen on injured reserve
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports The 2019 NFL Draft may prove to be a franchise altering one, but in the first year, it has been Kyler Murray, Byron Murphy and everyone else. That includes third round pick Zach Allen, who was finally placed on the injured reserve today after dealing with a neck issue since week four. Now, he will have played only 144 snaps as a rookie. In his stead, the team elevated undrafted free agent rookie Miles Brown to the active roster. From the team: Brown (6-2, 320) played in three games with the Cardinals earlier this season and had two tackles after...

2020 Arizona Cardinals Early Game Plan
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports I hope that the Cardinals do two very important things this off-season: (1) move on from players who aren’t giving their all; (2) sign free agents who are younger (2nd contract candidates who are 26-27 years old). Please, no more of these one year veteran signings, unless they are later on to fill in at a position due to injuries in training camp. Here is the type of off-season game plan that I would like to see the Cardinals orchestrate. QB: QB1: Kyler Murray—-poised to build off rookie year success QB2: Kyle Sloter—-saves $3M of cap space and has...

Cardinals Leadership Proposal
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports There is no question that the Arizona Cardinals are building for the long run. In QB Kyler Murray, they now have their young franchise QB for the first time in eons. In HC Kliff Kingsbury, they have one of the more diverse, innovative play callers in the NFL. There is a buzz about the direction of this team because of its youthful talent and its exciting style of offense. But what the Cardinals need now, imo, is a leadership fraternity, starting at GM. These next three drafts are the most important drafts in the franchise’s history. The Cardinals need a...

Murray to Kirk Flash Like Lomax to Green
Photo by Will Vragovic/ Watching Kyler Murray throw 3 breathtaking TDs to Christian Kirk yesterday, reminded me of how utterly thrilling it was to see Neil Lomax and Roy Green light up the scoreboard. While clearly, Kyler Murray are a shorter duo, look at how quick and smooth the ball comes out of Neil Lomax’s hand and how natural and fast Roy Green is as a WR. And Andy Isabella reminds me of a rocket booster version of Pat Tilley!!! Note: I would be so ecstatic if Michale Biwill ever brings back these Big Red uniforms (home reds and away whites) as retro alternatives—-perhaps...

TB 30 ARI 27: Big Plays and Costly Mistakes
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray are now 10 games into their NFL careers with the Arizona Cardinals. From the get-go, there were national and local pundits who believed the NFL would swallow them up and turn these collegiate “pretty boys” into Texas hash. Yet, after 10 games, K2 and K1 are getting it done in a thrilling fashion. Problem is, their most formidable enemy is not the naysayers or the team’s opponents, it’s the continued dysfunction within the Cardinals’ organization. Imagine for a second what this ride has been like for Kliff...
