The 2026 Arizona Cardinals TC Discussion Thread

[Cardiac]

Wait, what? lol So you're telling me the videos of him just throwing to a coach and another backup QB are called practicing? lol so it's a modified hold in!

Not what my takeaway was. JB has not done anything with this offense so he needs to get up to speed. If he is still just throwing to staff a week from now I might agree with you.
Also, maybe Mlf may sending a message to JB and the team. If you don't participate in OTAs then you will where the dunce cap for awhile.

Notes from #AZCardinals offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett:

- Having Jacoby back has been “great” and says he’s learning. Says he’s a big, strong dude who is not afraid to “sling it in there.”

- Carson Beck works “really hard” and has done a great job learning. Says he’s grasping it and pads coming on will be huge for next step. Says his favorite thing about Beck is he doesn’t make the same mistake twice and he doesn’t let mistakes impact him. Cited arm strength, intelligence as others. Has been impressed with ball placement.

- says walk-throughs have been crucial with how the game has evolved, cited doing the little things first before the big picture can take place

- says the limited practices places an emphasis on players being smart and mentally tough in terms of advancing install

- “everything is competition” when it comes to Marvin Harrison Jr and Michael Wilson competing for WR1 duties

- Says relationship with LaFleur has been “great” and is there to help him in anyway. Says they’ve had conversations with Hackett’s prior HC experience.

- Play style is non-negotiable. You have to know what you’re doing, where you’re going and bring it with intensity. All 11 players.

- declined to say if there was a definitive starter in the running back room.

Takeaways from #AZCardinals DC Nick Rallis:

- loves what the team can control (attitude, energy, effort level) and believes those things have been on point thus far.

- BJ Ojulari looks “really good right now” and highlighted his elusiveness off the edge. Really excited for pads to come on.

- Thought Walter Nolen III looked really strong thus far

- “He’s in a great spot” on Max Melton. Tough competition in cornerback room. Starling Thomas has also looked “really good” and he’s in the mix. Also had “major growth” from Elijah Jones and Sean Murphy-Bunting has adjusted well to nickel corner.

- Cody Simon is a super smart kid, says he just has to trust his knowledge and prep and he’s done that in the first two days.

- Jordan Burch is similar to Simon in terms of executing at a high level. He’s playing fast and expects him to really show up when pads come on.

- says schematically there’s always changes made. Thinks Mike LaFleur’s perspective and understanding of what to change has been critical. Says the biggest thing is “who are we” in terms of identity.

- Says with Josh Sweat, you just have to load up volume to avoid injury whenever he comes back. Called talks with Sweat solid.

- “He’s been a leader since he’s been here” on Roy Lopez. Called him a very smart player that puts on a lot of teach tape.

- Off the field Darius Robinson is still “pretty goofy” and on the field, he’s rushing the passer better. Says you can see his feel his instincts settling in.

- says it’s business as usual without Jonathan Gannon here but has gratitude for his time

- Budda Baker looks the best he’s looked since Nick Rallis has been here

Marvin already looks in mid-season form.

- On injuries, training staffs, injury luck: There’s some luck involved, says you let people do their jobs on training staffs and it’s never solely on a staff. Says they addressed what they think is the best to keep roster healthy.

Can you just elaborate already

Hey, MHJ isn't gonna waste his extraordinary talent catching balls when no one is around him....remember the jump for no reason drop when nobody was guarding him....no highlights there...

Velocity is good because coming off his arm problems one of the things Scouts didn't like was he showed less velocity. He had said his arm was now 100% so maybe that's true.

The best comment I've seen so far is his ball placement has been good that was always his big issue in college he'd throw the ball into tight coverage and put it in placs that hung the WR out to dry

the hall of fame fame is just 11 days away - brissett likely to watch in street clothes or might as well be in street clothes - idc about this game

i love love but i'd love love in street clothes too

all i really wanna see is how good or bad beck is at this point in time - how focused or overwhelmed - he can say he's him all he likes but if he really is him it should show

11 more days and we're watching football yall - then it's a month of preseason - then it's for real

i don't have any hopes for this year - i don't think anybody does - we will all grow more frustrated as the season goes with the typical cardinal benchmarks

officially in last place of our division
officially out of the playoffs (waaaaaay before by the bye)
officially not getting the first pick

this is the way - always been the way lol - what was lafleur thinking coming to this division at this point in time - that's basically suspect in it of itself

Opportunity to be one of 32 in the world and life changing $ for a family even as the HC of the Cardinals. I see the appeal regardless of the franchise history. Was BA dumb for taking it? Was Whiz when he got us to a SB?

Maybe he’s the guy to turn this around? MAYBE? He’s obviously confident in himself and I’m OK with that.

i think lafleur took the gig because he believes he can he successful here - he could've stayed in los angeles until a better team came knockin'

our offense has some legit weaponry - that had to be it imo - brissett throwing up those gaudy stats with mcbride and wilson despite not having a running back - despite the other team knowing we were throwing - and with our awful o-line

what i'd really like to know is where lafleur was on drafting beck - if lafleur was championing the pick then i'm kind of excited (and it could half explain why monti is being such a dick with brissett)

 

[CardNots]

officially not getting the first pick

might be your only miss…

On a positive note, I go into the season with hope

our new coach brings an exciting style of play

our many young players on both sides of the ball grow their game

our OL and DL find health and continuity

our young DBs flourish

i'm going to enjoy the season and the 12 personnel offense - dying to see a rookie rallis re-emergence - i don't have any hopes for the season - i just want a reason to hope

Now I'm much more concerned about the O-line.
