The Arizona Cardinals are moving on from their defensive line coaches.
The Arizona Cardinals lost their linebackers coach to a promotion, they are now losing their defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc, by their own choice as they have parted ways with the veteran defensive line coach.
LeBlanc has been coaching defensive line for two decades, but had only three years NFL experience, one year as the Miami Dolphins assistant defensive line coach, then his two years with the Arizona Cardinals.
Judging LeBlanc would be nearly impossible, as he was hampered by injuries for both seasons, so you have to be...
A life lesson about sports gambling
It was the fall of 1976. My senior year at Boston College. I was living in what BC students called the “Big Red House” on the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Center Street in Newton with 9 other BC seniors. The house was a legendary haunt for partygoers, for Vietnam War veterans who could sleep on the living room couches whenever they were down on their luck and for college and pro sports gamblers.
One of the most extravagant yearly parties that the Big Red House was famous for was the 10 keg affairs...
The Arizona Cardinals will need to find a new linebacker coach.
The Arizona Cardinals will need to find a new linebackers coach.
Virginia Tech announced today they have hired Sam Siefkes as their new defensive coordinator.
Siefkes has been with the Arizona Cardinals for two years, prior to that he was the Minnesota Vikings assistant linebackers coach and before that he was the Vikings defensive quality control coach.
Siefkes had a history in college, where he was a defensive coordinator at Divison III UW-Platteville, before becoming a defensive coordinator at Wofford College for three seasons.
Siefkes is getting a big...
The Arizona Cardinals add a young bookend offensive tackle in their newest 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
The Arizona Cardinals have a couple of things they need to do if they want to reach the next level.
One is find that unicorn quarterback... Which no one is going to beat Patrick Mahomes, so that isn’t going to work.
Hell, we saw how bad Jayden Daniels (if he can run it back for the next couple of years) played against a vastly superior team in the Philadelphia Eagles.
So the other option is to build something like what the Philadelphia Eagles and...
Kyle and I welcome special guest Mike the “AZ Sorts Fan” Cardinals’ related podcaster to discuss the team’s 2025 prospects.
Hope you enjoy the show.
What happened two years ago during Dan Quinn’s 2nd interview in Arizona?
This past week the Las Vegas Raiders made one of the smartest moves imaginable by hiring Pete Carroll as their new head coach.
Here is the best reason why:
Since Michael Bidwill took over the daily operations of the Cardinals in 2013, he has hired 4 head coaches in 12 years, none of whom had ever been a full-time NFL head coach. Bruce Arians had some success as the Colts’ interim head coach and had helped the Steelers win a Super Bowl as their OC in 2008. Therefore,...
Everything you need to know about the AFC Championship Game.
Who will play in the Super Bowl?
While people are excited about the prospects of the NFC Championship Game, I cannot remember an AFC Championship this anticipated since the Brady/Manning rivalry when the Broncos beat the Patriots.
Is this the same thing? Can Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills slay the dragon that is the Kansas City Chiefs?
Or is this the final coronation of the newest Greatest of All Time for Patrick Mahomes?
A potential three-peat and four Super Bowls in six seasons would make that debate an interesting...
Everything you need to know about the NFC Championship Game.
The NFC Championship Game is here and it gets the early slate.
Simply because the Super Bowl champs are in the primetime game and the GOAT is playing.
However in this one we have the age old question... Quarterback or team?
Jayden Daniel is playing at an extraordinary level, while Jalen Hurts is doing just enough to help his team win games.
However, on paper, the Philadelphia Eagles are better almost across the board than the Washington Commanders.
Does Daniels have one more magic show in him?
Or will it...
Why the 49ers are very likely going to be the unanimous pre-season favorites in the NFC West
Just when NFC West rivals could imagine the potential demise of the San Francisco 49ers, John Lynch was able to bring back Robert Saleh as their DC. Saleh is an outstanding teacher and motivator who commands the respect of every player on the roster.
And that’s not the only auspicious boost for the 49ers coming off their worst season since 2020.
Currently, they have $46.5M in cap space, which ranks #11 most in the NFL.
Yes, they may want to come to terms...
We talk Arizona Cardinals 2025 offseason needs and breakdown the Championship Games.
Happy Sunday one and all.
Jess and I are back for the final Conference Championship breakdown, but before that we go through a number of conversations about the Arizona Cardinals needs.
First off, what is the biggest needs for the Arizona Cardinals heading into the 2025 offseason?
After that, why are those needs the highest at this juncture, and finally are their in house options to make those moves, or will they need to go into free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft to fix those needs?
Of...
