It seems to me we keep bringing in and looking at the worst of the worst.

It they take a player off of a practice squad they have to put that player on the active roster. Not being willing to give up a roster spot limits the Cardinals to guys sitting at home on the couch.

Maybe this is a dumb question but why are they not using players off of the practice squad first to fill some of these holes, you know guys who have actually practiced with the team and have some knowledge of the playbooks?

I wish I had time to make a day trip to Phoenix and try out for kicker. It sounds like fun!

I watched a bit of NC State last year and liked Emezie. He's a big receiver with a little bit of wiggle. Looks more like a possession type than downfield threat.

Emezie was signed to Carolinas PS though.

A lot of times the Practice Squad players play only scout teams.
