I'm kinda eager to see how Isabella fits into the new offensive scheme. On face, he appears to have a unique skill set that could create unique challenges for most defense.

I am expecting to see a few reverses with Isabella

Top Questions Heading Into 2019 Training Camp, Part Two

Just got my club invite for Tuesday the 30th.

So what is that exactly?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

So what is that exactly?

All you can eat food and free booze in the club level while you watch training camp. Get to talk to Micheal B and Keim. Players come up and hang out.

 

[Dback Jon]

This should be good.

Is the schedule for open practices out?

This should be good.

Is the schedule for open practices out?

“Open sessions, all of which will be at State Farm Stadium, run through the second preseason game of 2019 with a final chance to catch a Cardinals workout on Saturday, Aug. 17.”

The biggest plus would be to come out of camp with no serious injuries. I initially thought the Cards might go vanilla and expose nothing. Now, however, since the chance of playoffs is remote I think they’re better to let it all hang out giving the players as much experience as possible in the new systems. On defense I wouldn’t show the blitz packages even in preseason.

I agree. Give your opposition a little something to think about. I dread to read the daily injury report.

I’m kind of looking forward to the Murray guy.....I think that’s his name.

I really don't like this idea of hiding the offense. I say practice what you are going to be playing in the regular season. Perfecting the execution of the offense is far more important than hiding the offense for one regular season game.

If the offense is good enough, like KC or the Rams or the patriots it will not matter if people know what is coming or not.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Can’t wait to see Byron & Andy go at it. That’s gonna be a battle.

I can't wait to see them in pads, practicing football the way it's gonna be played on Sundays lol.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

I expect most of the perspectives on the offense to be pretty well hidden, so I'll be focusing on the defense and what VJ is gonna make us into.

If the defense gets quickly while everyone adjusts to the offense and speed of the NFL, that'll be the way for us to sneak up on some teams.

I'm telling you right now solar 7, we will sneak up on some teams. I believe in the 3/4 & we have the starters at least to play it well. Our offense will move the ball & score a decent amount of points. We will gain some depth on defense after the training camps end & veterans are cut. This team has the potential right now for 8-8 & if we get lucky maybe more? I do believe this right now, call it optimism or dreaming but I believe damnit lol.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

No doubt, but walking glass with essentially zero investment, who has insane potential talent, especially having thrived in this offense before. We'll be keeping plenty.

I agree, he was mega talented & fast as crap at WV, he's been injury prone in the NFL but his luck has to change at some point one would think? He came to us very cheap & knows the air raid offensive concepts well. Nothing for us to lose by having him imo.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

The player that I am most curious about is Zach Allen. I hope he does well.

I think he is gonna prove to be one of the big time steals of this draft.

he’s been working on pro concepts for twice as many seasons (4) as he played in the Air Raid (2).

Rookies report today!

 

[Garthshort]

I'm definitely a Kool-Aider, but realize that how well we do this year will depend upon injuries. JMO.

Well, we'd better sneak up on some teams, because as it stands right now, there's not a game we will be favored in. Lines change of course, but still.

 

[MrYeahBut]

I'm feeling the usual amounts of hope and doom.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Funny, for me I’ve got a tremendous amount of positive emotion headed into the season. But that doesn’t equate to optimism. We were the worst team in football. That’s not going to change overnight. We have so much New it will take take to acclimate, implement, and develop chemistry. But I don’t feel like a dark sister bc I’m excited to see what we have and what works and what doesn’t. Still expect a lot of losses.

Silly to be looking at point spreads before the season even starts. If we win the opener, and I think we will, those point spreads change dramatically. No one has been handed the Lombardi Trophy based on preseason point spreads.

same place

at this time last year, one thing that bugged me was that the team had no identity.

under Arians it was no risk it, no biscuit -- offense and defense

with Wilks-- it felt like it was "lets not risk it" -- bland, vanilla, predictable on offense and defense. Zero vibe at this point, or at any point prior to the start of the season.

the team has a vibe again. It will be interesting to see if its justified
