    My ONLY comment from this week is we have to replace the coaching staff. The team was woefully ill-prepared to play an NFC-West division game. In every aspect. No more excuses, No more BS. It is just too painful to watch!!!

      100% agree. Yet, PHNX has been told from the Cardinals' FO that Gannon has been assured he is safe and will remain the head coach in 2026.

    This team has enough talent defensively to have a winning record. The progress of this make in gane adjustmentsteam has revolved around the Kyler argument . With Kyler being sidelined it has shown how poor special teams and the defense have played. I dont see any area on defense that helps us win games. I question the development of some of our younger players. We have anointed both Gannon and Rallis with out performance results. What does this defense do well? The addition of free agents and draft picks have not moved the needle for this team.team. We dont make in game adjustments or change scheme when warranted. Get up off the mat...why doesn't this entire defensive staff get over yourselves and put this team in positions to win.

    Excellent podcast Walter, Sam and Kyle. Budda strikes me as a player who regrets signing his contract and doesn't want to be here anymore. I think he wants to be traded to a contender where I bet his game would miraculously be restored to pro bowl effort. Also IMO, Bidwill doesn't deserve Jacoby Brissett. Jacoby is a class act with the heart of a lion playing like he just signed a 235M contract. As an NFL fan, I'm glad I got to see him in a Cardinal uniform.

      So agree with you about Jacoby. Dude is playing the full 60 minutes with every ounce of energy and determination he's got. Now so is Bam, Trey, Wilson and Dortch.

    Gannon’s career record against the NFC West is now 3-13. The only folks who SHOULD want Gannon to retain his Head Coaching job with the Cards are the division coaches who benefit from 2 division wins a season with him at the helm of the perennial losers.
    Does MO really deserve or should he be the "team building genius" to hire another staff?

  Drew Petzing Deserves More Praise Than Derision                                       image courtesy of @azcardinals.com By Walter Mitchell On X yesterday, there was this chance for Cardinals' fans to grade Jonathan Gannon, Drew Petzing and Nick Rallis thanks to @BirdmanofAZ. Bird Droppings @BirdmanofAZ Bye week report card.......coaching staff Jonathan Gannon ________ Drew Petzing ________ Nick Rallis ________ Here are the average results thus far of the fans' grades: Jonathan Gannon: D Drew Petzing: F Nick Rallis: C Why is it that Drew Petzing has drawn such abject scorn from Cardinals' fans? Going back to last year, the PHNX Cardinals media site has been waging a daily campaign to see Drew Petzing get fired, that is if he can't coach up a weekly magical connection between Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. This season, in light of Kyler Murray's inconsistencies and Marvin Harriso...

Paris Johnson Jr. with PHNX Cardinals Wired Up and Fired Up

 By Walter Mitchell Talk about a player who is fired up about his teammates, new coaches and the Arizona community, Paris Johnson Jr., in his interview with Bo Brack and Johnny Venerable on the PHNX Cardinals Podcast, lit the match to a blowtorch of jalapeno-hot takes about the 2026 Arizona Cardinals. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQLYNPP8POM&t=4704s The first order of business was to promote PJJ's charity "Putts for a Purpose" which took place last weekend, with the purpose being to raise enough money to build houses for military veterans and students who require financial aid. Paris is working in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity and hand in hand with Kurt Warner who has generously offered to furnish the first house upon its completion.   When it came to talk about his boys, Paris Johnson Jr. was ecstatic about having the chance to elaborate in fine detail about the considerable talent the Cardinals have been building on offense. He's psyched t...

 A Two-Dimensional Plan for the Arizona Cardinals CB Unit It was very tough to hear about Starling Thomas V's season-ending ACL injury on Day 3 of the Arizona Cardinals' training camp. Star's Cinderella ascension from tearing an ACL and losing his dear mom to cancer while at UAB to going undrafted in 2023 and after being claimed off waivers by the Cardinals becoming a 1st and 2nd year starter in the NFL is nothing short of compelling.  My message to Star:  https://x.com/WBJMItch/status/1949544884274090422 It was also difficult to hear that 2nd year CB Jaden Davis has been placed on the IR due to a knee injury. Jonathan Gannon said that Jaden has a chance to return to the field at some point this season. Davis had been making solid strides as a nickel CB and during OTAs he came through with a nifty TD-preventing interception while making a textbook break on the ball. Now that three of the Cardinals CBs on the 2024 depth chart are on the IR, let's take a look at the top c...
