    Week 1 - Offense and OL analysis

    Watched the game and was left frustrated with what I saw. Re-watched it for this purpose and was still frustrated, but a bit less frustrated. There were some good things in this game, but also a lot of the issues that we saw last year. You cannot put too much into a week 1 game. We do not know...

    Requested by Oaken - ASFN FF

    Oaken tasked me to set up a FF league. 10 team league set-up on Yahoo. Head to head with play-offs. (I put 6 team play-offs but we can change that before draft to 8 or less) Individual defensive players (more fun) Adjusted default point, so INTs and sacks gives more point We still need to...

    Things to look for in Broncos game

    JG stated that we will not see a full starting line-up. I'm guessing that means sitting veteran starters and giving young starters some playing time with 2nd string players, but we do not know what exactly that means. Starting Position battles Very few questions marks IMO at this point. The...

    High praises for Gannon and Rallis from The Athletic

    Was listening to this podcast on the biggest surprise units of the upcoming season. They include the Cardinals D about 50 min in and states that it shouldn't be on the list as the D finished 16th in EPA per play and 14th in DVOA and is projected to be top 10 in DVOA for the coming season. So...

    Making the Leap & Camp observations collaboration thread - week 3

    Came back from my 1 week time-out waiting to see a lot of posts from Training Camp and progressions of players. Very little was posted and it seems like not a lot of people went to the camp. @Cheesebeef just posted the same thoughts. So I had this idea. Why not making a thread to gather...

    Excellent article about cap vs. Cash spending

    https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/6/5/24443586/nfl-salary-cap-analysis-cash-spending-post-covid-roger-goodell-2025 FYI for those not interested in reading it. With all the many negative things that can be said of Michael Bidwill’s leadership, being cheap is not factually correct...

    Making the leap

    A spin-off from my off-season evaluation inspired by the SI article about, who would step up in the secondary. One of the difference of this regime is drafting for developing players. Monti drafts for depth to develop and scheme fits typically from big schools, which is the opposite Keim, who...

    My suggested approach to the Off-season - 2nd wave wrap-up & looking ahead

    My third post in my little off-season evaluation series, where I try to evaluate Monti and come with suggestions - but looking at it from Monti's chair. There are many great threads on the draft, the players and what's next from @Harry, @Chopper0080 , @Gandhi et all, so my focus will be on the...

    My suggested approach to the Off-season - 1st wave wrap-up & looking ahead

    I posted this about 1 month ago. https://www.arizonasportsfans.com/forum/threads/my-suggested-approach-to-the-off-season-bach.576870/ I tried to pick Monti's brain based on his earlier actions and statements prior to the start of FA. Not to promote myself, but came pretty close. Time to recap...

    My suggested approach to the Off-Season (BACH)

    For those of you following my posts and interact with me know that I'm a fan of Monti's approach and the way he has re-build this team, so wanted to give my two cents on how I would approach the off-season and the way I see Monti approach it (I might be delusional to think I'm even close to...

    Offense & O-Line analysis week 15 vs. Patriots (W)

    This is a hard game to do any analysis on to be honest. The Cardinals is in the 2nd tier of teams and Patriots are in the lower 4th tier and it showed. This game was never in danger and Patiots didn’t look good. So was the dominance due playing well or are the Patriots just that bad? Honestly do...

    Offense and O-Line analysis Week 14 vs. Seahawks (L)

    Yes, I know. Way overdue. Busy week with VIP visits and Year-End Dinners. Along with everyone here I was super dissapointed by this game. The team appeared flat with little energy. The scheme was meh. Kyler had a horrible game. O-line made to many mistakes. SCHEME Repeat of last week's game...

    Offense and O-Line analysis - week 13 @ Vikings (L)

    This is a hard one to do analysis on to be honest. A little shorter than usual due to daugther's ear infection keeping me busy. Again I'll start with the usual shout out to the D. Again they did not lose this game for us. They played extremely hard for 3-3.5 quarters leading to this team...

    Offense and O-line analysis - Week 12 vs. Seahawks (L)

    Family is asleep in South East Asia and had time to watch the game in peace. Before we start with the Offense, I want to give huge credit to the defense. They played their butts off and held the Seahawks to 10 (16) points. They more than did their part for us to win the game. The Seahawks...

    Offense and O-line analysis - Bye week

    I started my weekly analysis because I wanted to contribute more to the board and is very excited about the trajectory of this team and nerdy around O-line play - being a former O-lineman and O-line coach. In my everyday life with an executive level job, two small kids and living across the...

    Offense and O-Line analysis - Week 10

    Once again I start with a big shout out to the D. 0 Touchdowns allowed in three home games. Dominant performance and a pass rush. I think the reason for these improvements are all due to the young secondary developing and Gannon/Ralis no longer have to compensate for a weak coverage, which frees...

    Why this game (Jets) is the most important game of the season

    I'm looking so much forward to this game. I'm excited. I'm anxious. I'm nervous. I think it's the most important game of the year. Why? 1. A win would land the team at 6-4 going on a bye, with the softer part of the schedule coming. The remaining 7 games should realistically provide 4 wins...

    2 Head Coaches fired - who is next?

    In celebration that we do NOT have to discuss this for our team, what do you think? I think several of these coaches are "Dead Man Walking", but the question is if it happens in the season

    Offense and O-line analysis - week 9 (Updated)

    Kudos to the D This is meant to be an offensive analysis, but simply cannot write this without a shout out to the D for an excellent performance. Great game by the D. Surprisingly high amount of pass rush. Scheme was more innovative and aggressive and it showed. Was it due to a bad Bears...
