anilla Seth put out an article yesterday about how poor of a job the team has done of using their best offensive weapon — David Johnson. After reading that Youth D.J. Humphries Jersey , I sat down and listened to the Monday afternoon press conference with Coach Wilks where he emphasized that the team has to do a better job of getting Johnson the ball, especially as a receiver out in the slot or even out wide. He also stated that they plan on “scaling back” the offense, which is essentially the opposite of what needs to be done. There weren’t any specific comments made as to how they plan on implementing that into their game plan, but everyone is well aware of how badly it needs to happen. And the person that should be the most upset is David Johnson himself. With a new contract in hand, Johnson is looked at as a veteran, a franchise cornerstone and a leader on this team. It’s time he put that leadership into action and demand more from his offense. Johnson knows he is the most capable player on the team with the ball in his hands and, although it may be uncomfortable given his relatively lax demeanor, he needs to be in offensive coordinator Mike McCoy’s ear about getting the ball. 11 targets resulting in 6 catches for 33 yards over two games just isn’t enough. The same goes for Larry Fitzgerald. Fitz, always a guy that would rather show it on the field as opposed to getting in someone’s face, is still the best wide receiver option the Cardinals have at the age of 35. If he wants to close out his career with a team that can at least be competitive in games, it needs to start with him. The offense, as it stands, is far too basic and bland. David Johnson isn’t getting moved around enough. Simple slants and curls are being employed far too often. Pieces within the wide receiver Stitched Robert Nkemdiche Jersey , running back and tight end rooms are not being utilized properly. Why not line both Chase Edmonds and David Johnson up together in the backfield? Or put one in the slot and the other in the backfield? Why not try to push the ball downfield (for once) to J.J. Nelson? What was the point of keeping him on the roster if you aren’t going to do that? Christian Kirk has already shown that he can be electric in space. Why not run a sweep to him or throw him a wide receiver screen? These seem like relatively simple fixes that could easily be employed, but someone needs to stand up and call for the ball. Whether it’s Johnson, Fitz, Kirk or whoever... the time is now for someone to stand up and get angry. The only way to combat this vanilla playcalling that has only landed the Cardinals 6 points through 2 games is to fight it with some fire.

He is a pro’s pro. And the one thing I’ve appreciated the most since we’ve drafted him. The kid has an unbelievable amount of mental toughness. You saw that last year as he took a beating and we went through the injuries that we went through up front. Physical toughness, mental toughness --Josh Rosen has it all.”Yet, in light of the abusive way in which the Cardinals keep letting Rosen take hit after hit after hit Stitched Budda Baker Jersey , one could readily imagine that Rosen is spending his 4 hours daily at the Cardinals’ OTAs these weeks, bound, bubble-wrapped and gagged in the equipment manager’s office reading the LA Times and listening to the latest Joel Klatt interviews on The Herd.The essential outcome of the press conference was that Barry, acting like ever the obsequious sycophant to NoHo Hank managed to say nothing meaningful in a series of terse platitudes---and that NoHo, acting like the new “big bruh” alpha in the room, managed to say nothing meaningful through a monotonous drone of circumlocutions. And now...What Barry and NoHo really need is Hollywood legend (in his own mind), director turned acting coach, Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler), to arrive at team headquarters quickly and with great urgency---because Barry’s and NoHo’s next gig will be broadcasted from Nashville Tennessee, this time before a national audience on April 25th.You see---Barry and NoHo need Gene Cousineau more now than ever because, Barry and NoHo now find themselves squarely in the midst of a tragic, irreconcilable dilemma---If QB Kyler Murray does wind up being the Cardinals #1 pick, Barry and NoHo will then have to explain how they just turned their backs on a young QB who is already a “pro’s pro Youth Budda Baker Jersey , who has it all.”Or, on the flip side, if they shun Murray and take Nick Bosa or Quinnen Wiilliams they are going to have to explain why they catered like mules to a process that put their QB of “right now” squarely in the crosshairs of NFL pundits, critics and skeptics---for three long, excruciating months. As if three months of 45 sacks and 100 QB hits back in October to December weren’t enough?As Ellis Boyd Redding (aka “Red”) said in the Shawshank Redemption, “Every man has his breaking point.”But....you just know, the gag order on Josh Rosen can’t last forever.The world deserves to know his version of the soap opera.At least, Gene Cousineau is smart enough to know that Barry and NoHo will need to scratch the line “we were doing our due diligence” from the current script. That’s the first place to start. Beyond that, Cousineau may not be able to spare Barry and NoHo from the inevitable denouement that their bad acting has sprung---a good ol’ barrage of rotten tomatoes.
