Bruce Arians is an asshole

In the third episode, this becomes an issue as it is revealed Okoye was let go because of parking in the wrong spot.

“Parked in the wrong spot,” Arians told general manager Steve Keim and team president Michael Bidwill. “There weren’t any parking places so he just parked and came running in. Tough (expletive), bro.”

Okoye was a former Olympian and Arians said “probably ought to go to Oxford,” as he is a talented and intelligent young man. But Bidwill notes, “you’ve got to follow the rules.”

 

You didn't cut him because he didn't "follow the rules", Brucey.  If you thought he could have given you 6-8 sacks that year, you would have just counseled him.

You cut him because he "parked" in your "spot" because (1) you were going to cut him anyway and (2) you wanted to look like a tough guy.

Well, this doesn't make you look like a tough guy, Brucey.  It makes you look like an asshole.

Why is this guy worshiped by the NFL Media anyway?

That makes him a liar.

He also comes off as stupid, for bringing up a parking incident, whether it's true or not. It must really suck to be a Cards fan.

lol.  Let that be a lesson to less-talented guys.  You need to follow the letters to a T or your ass is grass.  You don't want coaches to know your name for anything other than football.  Late.  Wore the wrong color.  Parked in coach's spot.  Anything.  Too much competition for you to equip them with things not football-related.

    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
    • No, stay the course, add via FA / Draft.
    • His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
