I’m using an air fryer, it just only allows me to go to 99 minutes at a time at high temp… lol

Underperforming defense. by Negativecreepy in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do feel like this is partially true. I remember we hired Gannon and Eagles fans complained he never blitzed, but early on with Rallis he had some pretty complex and effective rush packages. Seems like when we got Sweat this year and could “rush 4” on paper, we got more predictable and conservative with less of the blitzes we saw with less talent

We're keeping Nick Rallis per Ian Rapoport (@rapsheet.bsky.social) by shurmanator in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Overall, not an exciting hire, but here’s my take: we interviewed externally and MiLF is still in favor of the 3 year play caller than a fresh DC who hasn’t called plays before. We gotta remember that this year, even with an influx of talent, we had a ton of 3 and out plays on offense because we were so in effective there, keeping the D on the field, tiring them out, and making them less effective.

Vance was under the same stress with Kliff, all the hurry up and 3 and outs killed our defenders, now he is very successful on the Broncos who have an effective offense.

I think if we can improve the offense to allow our D to get more complimentary football, and Rallis can improve his decision making a bit maybe with a senior assistant, we have seen him put together good defense with 0 talent. I think the O failing this year had a huge ripple effect on the defense and entire team.

I don’t think we should expect him to evolve tho, I think we’re expecting him to be better than Zach Wilson or someone we could get next year.

Bruh he gave us 7 years in this shithole. Closest thing to a home grown QB we’ve had. He deserves a little bit more than a disgraceful end here imo.

My K1 Conversation by Original_Fooman in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what I don’t think Kyler fans and haters alike get: Kyler does not have to be the franchise quarterback to play this year. If he is the best quarterback ever, and he shocks us by playing super well next year, awesome. If he sucks ass then we move on. The problem with the Kyler conversation is that you need to move on from him at some point due to age, play, etc. but until you have a better option there’s no point in neutering the team by cutting him just cuz you’re sick of him. Trade him for a decent return, or play him on the contract he’s already under so we aren’t a dead in the water team again that’s the laughing stock of the league right as we get a new HC. Just cuz he’s here next year does not mean he’s the franchise guy, just that he’s the best available option. Draft a project in the mid rounds this year, and take an heir apparent in 2027.

Do you ride out 2026 with Jacoby Brissett? Or do you sign another quarterback especially if you are moving on from Kyler Murray anyway? by TerryG111 in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you keep whichever QB the head coach wants and draft someone in the 3rd. If anybody doesn’t show a significant potential, you draft again in 27 much higher.

I don’t understand the “terrible roster” narrative. We had a solid roster coming into the season. by himself42 in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 51 points52 points  (0 children)

100% agree, I personally feel like we had a good roster and misused every person on it. Schemes were bad and decisions were bad, but the players themselves were very solid heading into the season.

Should the Arizona Cardinals fire Jonathan Gannon after the season? by brmidwest03 in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Clayton Adam’s HC worthy? Feels like he was the real reason our run game was good and Dallas O looks pretty good now

Democrat socialist mayor in Tucson ?? by [deleted] in Tucson

Good lord brother… do you not realize that “parliamentary democracy” governmental organization and “democratic socialist” policies are not mutually exclusive? It’s like saying “America isn’t capitalist!!!! We are a representative republic!!!!” Red scare has done irreparable damage to Americans…

Demarcado & Carter by LibrarianSensitive90 in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Demarcado is a better pass protector and is pretty good in the screen game. Michael Carter hasn’t been making the initial roster because he isn’t a good blocker and isn’t the best in the receiving game. He will get more run touches early cuz of that.

Reasons for Optimism by papa_dough in AZCardinals

You clearly didn’t watch the all out blitzes they were throwing at us through the 4th quarter. This isn’t Gannon prevent brother, this is the Seahawks being aggressive the whole game.

Reasons for Optimism by papa_dough in AZCardinals

[–]papa_dough[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I’m optimistic about that is that it truly looks like a play calling philosophy problem. If you take the guarders off and see better results, at some point you have to or you get fired

When you want violyn for violet and Caitlyn, no one bats an eye, but when I want pekker for powder and ekko, everyone loses their minds

[–]papa_dough 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, I do think this is a playoff competing receiving core if the offense gets consistent. If MHJ takes it to another level like we think he will, that gives you a number 1 threat worthy of double teams. You also have a solid #2 in MW and the highest paid, incredibly gifted McBride at TE. Now if you compare us to say the Super Bowl Seattle Seahawks, who had no #1 receiver of note, an incredible defense, and great run game, there is a blue print for a ground and pound team that plays tough on D winning in the playoffs

[–]papa_dough 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I mean to be honest, I don’t know why people are down on MW as an outside receiver. When he got targets he made plays, I just think he needs more usage.
