    Matt Forte on the block.

    Boy, adding Forte and having David Johnson and him as a 1-2 punch would be something to behold. It would allow BA to keep the offense identical in terms of play calling and it would allow him the luxury of playing Johnson as much as he wants at WR. The Cardinals are still $11M under the cap...

    OT- 49ers trade Vance McDonald + 5th round pick

    They put McDonald on the trading block during the draft.

    Browns trying to trade Joe Haden

    Yeah, the 49ers tried to trade McDonald during the draft.

    Blaine Gabbert?

    Yes, but he's also had an extra game...however, imo, he deserves the kudos for his work.

    Browns trying to trade Joe Haden

    Now they are trying to trade 2015 1st round pick C/G/T Cameron Erving. Boy, I really liked him coming out. Has struggled at center, but I still think he could be a good center. At the very least he is a talented swing offensive lineman.

    Constructing The 53 Man Roster

    I agree about Scooby and several of these PS players becoming active when the time is right. Cards did a good job of promoting from within the past couple of years. I wonder if Aaron Dobson is still PS eligible. I think he only has 2 years NFL roster experience.

    Time to fleece the Broncos?

    Plus, Bowles has Stump Mitchell now as RBs coach. Stump knows Penny better than anyone.

    Browns trying to trade Joe Haden

    I thought Haden looked bad last year...was slower than ever because of injuries. Not a fan at this point. A few years ago, yes.

    Prediction - DeShone Kizer

    Yes. materphomeg, so much of a QB's success is tied to his HC and OC. Personality matters. For example, Adam Gase is about the best coach on the planet for Jay Cutler. Most head coaches would want nothing to do with Cutler...which is why he got zero nibbles in FA until Gase came calling.

    Prediction - DeShone Kizer

    It would interesting to know the Cardinals' scouts' report on Kizer. My own feeling was...superb physical talent, but didn't handle the tough coaching or the ND pressure as well as one would have expected. Brian Kelly's coaching style is a lot like BA's. I wonder if it just wasn't a personality...

    My Top Ten Wish List

    I agree, karma. I kept Penny as a key blocker on punts and field goals. I would expect him to get much action at RB, except perhaps as a situational FB and short yardage back. Penny takes Stepfan Taylor's role, in essence.

    Constructing The 53 Man Roster

    Yes. Ohcrap! Thanks for picking up on that. I had originally had Pierre as one of the actives, but took him off for week 1 due to his concussion, but he makes the roster for sure. Thus, I would make Pierre one of my top 4 and waive Dobson (hate to do it). Ross' STs ability gives him the edge...

    Is Ahmad Brooks worth a look?

    I wonder Harry whether Brooks would want to play inside. At this point in his career he may just want to be an edge pass rush specialist. Looks like the Packers are going to sign him for that role. Brooks is a quirky guy. He hasn't always endeared himself to his coaches. I wonder what Phll...

    ARI 24 ATL 14 Thoughts + 53 Update

    Excellent suggestions Gandhi! You're right, Dorsett is BA's kind of WR. Not sure why the Colts would want to trade him. Do you know why? Been wondering about Sheldon Richardson all off-season and whether Steve Keim would make a move to acquire him. Might be a bit of a head case. Plus, the...

    Constructing The 53 Man Roster

    BA and Steve Keim sat down after the Falcons game to discuss the roster and Keim approached it this way. He asked BA to determine right off the top of his head the 45 game day actives. My guess as to which 45 players BA has in mind is just as good as yours. But, if i were to guess for week 1...

    Tape Review ARI 24 ATL 14

    At this point, it would be hard to imagine Chad Williams being claimed off waivers by another team. There is not evidence on tape that corroborates or suggests that he's a legit 3rd rounder. There probably would be a number of teams who would want to sign C. Williams to their practice...

    Jeff---I streamed the game live on https://www.reddit.com/r/nflstreams Thanks to eastcoastSUN, the ASFN poster who gave us the link. if you want to stay up for the Cardinals vs. Broncos game or at least watch the first half, it starts at 9 PM EDT, I think. In watching the replay that I taped...

    Tape Review ARI 24 ATL 14

    Zone Run Blocking: The Cardinals "tackle zone" run plays are TFLs (tackles for loss) waiting to happen. The basic problems are personnel and technique. The Cardinals' offensive line is slow and not very athletic, particularly the center (Shipley is only good in a phone booth, he can't run) and...

    The Falcons Game

    I agree, Harry. The depth is not good. I could see Steve Keim claim two ILBers off waivers, if Bynes, Wheeler and Wright continue to struggle.

    Rumor: Cardinals Offering 1st & 4th for Jarvis Landry

    Offering the Cardinals' 2018 1st and 4th for WR Jarvis Landry would signify the Cardinals think they have their QBOF in Blaine Gabbert. Otherwise, they really need to keep their 1st round pick to address the QB position. That said, trading for Jarvis Jones would likely keep BA another year or...

    Cards at Falcons----my take

    Great post, Catfish! Chris Johnson does not look to be in good shape. This is the slowest he's looked in his career. I agree with you about his body language...very little energy and enthusiasm. What ticked me off as much as his fumbles was his going through the motions on the play action...

    Positives

    The Cardinals did themselves proudly in Atlanta. Certainly their three turnovers and array of penalties and missed tackles are something they are going to need to clean up, but for the most part, the Cardinals donned the look of a big play team. Their highlight reel consists of (1) Honey...

    He's on the IR...with a chance to return by week 9, if he's one of two players the Cardinals can re-activate off the IR.
