Make no mistake about it. Leftwich’s affable
http://www.authenticsarizonacardinals.com/cheap-mike-iupati-jersey , hands-on approach is already paying handsome dividends. The rapport between the
new OC and new QB1 is fabulous.But, now that Todd Haley has been released from
the Cleveland State dawg pound, what about bringing him to Arizona as an
offensive consultant?if you believe as I do that Byron Leftwich is being
handcuffed by Mike McCoy’s offense—-tapping into Haley’s expertise could be a
boon for the Cardinals and Leftwich at this point in time.Haley has always been
very good at mixing the run with the pass——look at the way he maximized the
talents of Le’Veon Bell the last few years. Imagine what kind of packages Haley
could suggest and help choreograph for David Johnson.We know that Haley has
always had a strong rapport with Larry Fitzgerald. Adding Haley as a consultant
could help to take the Cardinals’ receiving talent to the next level. Would
Haley be interested in an advisory role? He still has a house in Arizona. Why
not?Would there be ego issues or power struggles between Haley and Leftwich?I
don't think there would be—-Byron Leftwich’s popularity amongst the players is
not going to change. I think there is a very good chance that he remains the OC
in Arizona next year and beyond.I believe that Leftwich would welcome the help,
primarily because he has his hands full mentoring Josh Rosen and now
coordinating the offense. That's two full time jobs in one.Ideally Leftwich
would want BA to turn to and can do so via the phone. But, having an offensive
guru like Haley in the building, on the practice field each day and up in the
coaches’ box on game days could accelerate Leftwich’s development as a
coordinator and play caller. The key is shaping the offense in order to maximize
the talents of the personnel—-these next eight weeks are a perfect training
ground in order to get the building blocks of the playbook settled for 2019.With
that goal in mind, having an architect like Haley on board could allow that main
frame to go up days and weeks ahead of schedule.What do you think?Teaching
Points (Kanoff to Kirk) Thanks to a Ronnie Laybold tweet here is the breakdown
of a successful flat pass left by QB Charles Kanoff versus a Cover 3 zone to WR
Christian Kirk. Good quick over-the-top release by Kanoff (#6), who quickly
squares his shoulders to the target (textbook) and hits Christian Kirk (#13) in
stride.Would like to see Kanoff’s tee (ball) position during his dropback be a
little higher.Kirk catches the football cleanly with his hands, not his body,
which allows him to accelerate for extra yards after the catch. WR Trent
Sheffield makes a good, alert side block on chasing NCB Bene Benwikere
(#23)..Excellent fan block by LT John Wetzel (#73) on RDE Cap Capi (#61). Not
good by Capi to stop his feet.Good double team on DT Olsen Pierre (#72) by RG
Will House (#60) and C Daniel Munyer (#62). That’s a good inside pass rusher
they nullified
Black Haason Reddick Jersey , which is the key to the play. Although Pierre stands up on the snap and gets off the ball too late. Poor
technique.Notice because of the effective double team and fan block by the
LT—-the wide open passing lane the offense creates for Kanoff and Kirk.DT Rodney
Gunter (#95) stands up too quickly off the snap and gets planted by the RG who
could be flagged for holding behind the top Gunter’s left shoulder.RT Will
Holden (#69)executes a perfect fan block away from the play.RB T.J. Logan (#22)
is protecting against an A gap blitz, but none comes and the pocket is
clean.Defense is playing zone. LB Scooby Wright (#56) gets to his hook zone, but
doesn’t react quicker to Kirk who crosses Wright’s face. Wright needs to
communicate with the CB. The key here is to play man in your zone until the
receiver leaves it when you pass the man over to the defender in the next zone
(here it’s the NCB in the flat).The nickel CB (#23) Bene Benwikere has the flat,
but like Wright, he’s late to react and only gets one hand on Kirk. In zones you
have to react quickly to the ball because ideally you want to arrive just after
the ball does so you can bust the play up.The CB (#33) Chris Campbell comes up
from his deep third to make the tackle, but over-pursues it, allowing Kirk a
possible cutback—-although—-Wright hustles well from the inside to help. The
rule for the CB is to break down and to use the sideline as an extra defender,
which Campbell did not do.Good grades on this play: QB Kanoff, WR Kirk, LT
Wetzel, LG House
Black Ricky Seals-Jones Jersey , C Munyer, RT Holden, RB Logan, WR Sherfield.Poor grades on this play: RG (couldn’t make his number out—-his hold
could have ruined the play), DT Gunter, DT Pierre, DE Capi, LB Wright, NCB
Benwikere, RCB Campbell.Excellent play design versus zone by Mike McCoy. Double
teaming the play-side tackle with the LG and C. Filling/protecting the opposite
A gap with the RB. Running the WR quickly into the gray area between and
underneath the ILB and the flat NCB and setting up a crack-back block by the
WR.
