Will someone please get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald?!! The Arizona Cardinals, one season removed from the Super Bowl, played horribly this past season. They couldn't get anything started offensively and couldn't stop anyone defensively. This team has some great potential though, they just need a few players at some key positions and they'll be back in the playoff hunt. Losing Quarterback Kurt Warner to retirement really hurt this team, evident in them starting three Quarterbacks this past season. It's obvious that John Skelton is not the future in Arizona, so there's the possibility of them going Quarterback here. I doubt it though as this team needs a veteran presence to compete this season and beyond. Per Larry Fitzgerald's request, I think Head Coach Ken Wisenhunt (knowing his job is on the line) will make a move for Kevin Kolb. I think he'd really fit great into the system they run there. With this, I feel like the Cardinals go defense. They need a high impact player who can really take over the game. Linebacker Von Miller has the potential to develop into one of the best rushing Outside Linebackers in the NFL, and that's the direction I feel the Cardinals will go with the 5th overall pick.
With an incredible blend of size and athleticism, Von Miller can really get after the Quarterback. He has lightning quick speed and an incredible first step. Pair this with a relentless motor and a plethora of pass rushing moves and you have the perfect mold for a 3-4 Outside Linebacker. He's got a knack for setting up Offensive Tackles, and once engaged has great counter moves. Miller has fluid hips which will allow to play very well in coverage, both man and zone. The only knock on him is his strength, which slightly effects his defense against the run in block shedding. Despitse this though, Von Miller has all the intangibles to become a great player in the NFL. If he makes it to the 5th pick, the Arizona Cardinals can't pass up a player of this caliber at a great need of theirs..
I agree you have to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. I don't think the Cardinals will take a QB with its first pick. I think that they will sign a veteran backup that has experience and the skills. I do think that they might go after Julio Jones or AG Green to compliment Fitzgerald, Breaston,and the other guys
ReplyDeleteYes, the Cardinals did not play well this past season. Fitzgerald should definitely be their "go to" player. With the addition of talented players I believe they can make a good run next season. Well, only if the NFL is not locked out.
ReplyDeleteI could see them possibly go with a quarterback with this pick, but that would depend what happened with picks 1-4. If they did go with Miller, they would definitely be adding probowl talent on the defensive side of the ball.
ReplyDeleteIf the Cardinals do go with a QB in the draft I think they should take Jake Locker or Andy Dalton. Both seem to fit the style of offense that Head Coach Ken Wisenhaunt runs and they can build around these guys in the future.
