Ron Meeks, Beason, Peppers, and Gamble...

The combination of those 4 guys with the rest of the supporting cast on defense is going to make us a top 5 defense next year. I know we all hate it when Pep "takes plays off" but lets face it...he did it last year and ended up a pro bowler with 14.5 sacks. I feel like Ron Meeks is going to make this guy EXTREMELY happy. I have never thought any DE in the league was on Peppers level from a standpoint of potential and HOPEFULLY Meeks can get this guy to the hall of fame level he should be at already.

Beason and Gamble are studs and I don't really need to say anything more. When you have guys in your "supporting cast" with the talent of Harris, Davis, Godfrey, Marshall and the others we should have a top tier defense this year. Hopefully all of the first and second round draft picks we have spent on defense will pay off with Ron Meeks. Here's to a great defense in 2009.

I'd throw Brian Baker into this discussion too (and the other position coaches, probably).
no doubt.

the dynamic between baker and peppers is going to be the most interesting thing to watch. baker might just be what the doctor ordered.

I think the defense has some work to do and am encouraged that on the surface steps are being made to eliminate some problems that we have faced defensively for a few seasons. That being that the philosophy and scheme seem to be more in favor of the personnel we have (on paper at least) and leadership is intact on the field to to enforce the efforts as well.

You need to replace Ron Meeks with John Fox instead. As long as we have him in the mix we'll have a mediocre defense as usual. The only scheme Fox runs is the "conservative 11" defense.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
