Was Will Johnson's Red and White Interception Staged? by Walter Mitchell photo thanks to Tyler Drake at Arizona Sports Cardinals' 2nd round pick, CB Will Johnson of Michigan, is off to a fabulous start just 10 days into training camp. Will Johnson has come to the Cardinals just as advertised. He is a keenly instinctive zone cover corner who reads his man and the QB extremely well, which enables him to jump routes and make timely pass breakups and interceptions. In man coverage, he lacks the requisite recovery speed to stay sticky on speedy receivers. But that's ok, as long as the coaches match him up with receivers whom he can run stride for stride with. We have yet to see whether the 2024 concerns about Will Johnson's tackling, which may have been due to injuries. With him presumably taking over Sean Murphy-Bunting's starting role, the coaches will have to hope that he tackles way better than SMB (29.4 2024 PFF tackling grade). If you look at Will's 2023 ga...
Red Bain - hahaha
ReplyDeleteGreat episode guys. Interesting WR discussion; I'd say no to QB unless its round 4 or later (and that is really like a lottery pick).
Looking forward to your trading episode/articles. Who on Cardinals has value? Just like seeking a trade for Kyler - I think Monti would have tougher time getting value for any players we would be willing to trade.
Good informative podcast guys. How did the Card end up with the 3rd hardest schedule? I mean they're a 3 win team with their 3rd consecutive rookie HC. If this team didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any luck. I know Jacoby will ball out and if the rest of the offense stays relatively healthy, they should put up some good numbers. I guess they will either come out of this season stronger or with the top draft pick next year lol maybe both.
ReplyDeleteThe other teams in the NFC West have easier schedules because they have the 3-14 Cardinals on them twice. But hey every team right now is 0-0.
DeleteTrue. I'm just glad Jacoby gets to go into training camp as the starter which I think he will be and I hope LaFleur learned enough working with McVay to make this offense produce. If he did, this offense will give the rest of the NFC a run for their money.
