0-4.For the first time in the desert the Arizona Cardinals
enter the quarter point of the NFL season winless. It¡¯s been 32 years since this
happened
Justin
Pugh Jersey 2019 , which is actually quite mind-blowing in itself.Yet,
here we are.Let¡¯s take a look at the winners and losers from the Arizona
Cardinals loss to the Seattle Seahawks.WinnersJosh Rosen - What more can be said
about Rosen? He was cool, calm and collected. He looked the part and then played
the part, even after the game, going as far as agreeing with how the final drive
played out and trusting his teammates and coaches. He¡¯s wise beyond his years on
and off the field.Haason Reddick - Nine defensive snaps, one tackle, one sack.
If you¡¯re not going to get playing time, may as well make the most of the time
you get.Chandler Jones - Continues to grow in his new role and play well.
Recorded sack number three on the season, added two more quarterback hits and
three additional tackles.Tre Boston - Best game as a Cardinal. Looks more
comfortable and playing faster than the first two weeks.LosersSteve Wilks - The
playcalling to end the Cardinals offensive game was bad enough, but doubling
down on it after the game was worse. Wilks can want to be conservative, but it¡¯s
foolish to want to give Russell Wilson the ball with nearly two minutes left and
needing just a field goal to tie. Go for the throat and settle for the field
goal worst case.Mike Iupati - Despite the PFF preseason grading, Iupati has been
mostly bad to worse this year than previous seasons. He¡¯s not the player he once
was. The Cardinals need him to play better if they want to go anywhere this
season.Deone Bucannon - Played more and had some nice plays, but
looks�overwhelmed at times.Phil Dawson - Missed two field goals, another season
where the kicking game looms large. He is the seventh highest paid kicker in the
NFL
Youth Rodney
Gunter Jersey , that last kick has to be automatic. Especially when you¡¯re
talking in doors, on turf.The receiving corps: Every�single�one. This would be
a first for one player, but everyone was so bad (outside of Chad Williams) that
no one deserves to be singled out.Mike McCoy - Being conservative is fine. I
understand wanting to limit turnovers, chew clock, etc. I just don¡¯t get how
that plays into being a historically bad offense. Through four games the
Cardinals have scored 37 points on the season. There were seven teams in week
four that scored 37 or more points in their games. The Cardinals offense is not
conservative, it is prehistoric. Josh Rosen - Rosen is a loser because he went
from a bad UCLA team he had to drag up and down the field to a Cardinals team
that it looks like, in at least his rookie season, he will have to do the same.
I was emailing back and forth this week with one of my favorite Cardinals¡¯ fans
(Vince from PA) and he came up with what I consider to be a fascinating GM/HC
combo¡ª-Eliot Wolf (Cleveland Browns¡¯ Assistant GM, son of HOF GM Ron Wolf) as GM
with Mike McCarthy (Green Bay Packers Head Coach) as head coach. Of course, Wolf
and McCarthy spent well over a decade together in Green Bay¡ª-and they joyously
sipped some sweet ambrosia from the Lombardi Trophy back in 2011. Their
familiarity is quite a plus.Wolf and McCarthy¡¯s primary mission will be to
change the growing perception around the league that the Cardinals mistreat
their players.McCarthy brings most of his current staff with him. He is open to
adding Todd Bowles as the DC and if Bowles is game, the deal is made. Otherwise,
McCarthy brings his current DC, Mike Pettine, with him. Both Bowles and Pettine
run the 34 base (back to
basics

(nickel)LS Aaron BrewerP Andy LeeK Matt McCraneI think it would be good this
time around to bring in an experienced head coach. I don¡¯t think Mike McCarthy
gets enough credit for the success he¡¯s had in Green Bay. And I love the thought
of adding a young, bright GM in Eliot Wolf.
