We talk about a number of topics on the latest Episode of the podcast.
Happy Saturday one and all.
Would have been more helpful if I remembered to schedule this, but what can you do?
The NFL Championship Games are tomorrow, and Jess and I take a look at it, but today we take a look at the offseason awards that no Arizona Cardinals players were part of.
Are we surprised? Who was snubbed?
We have all of that and then we take a look at potential salary saving moves (hint there’s not a lot) before taking a look at...

PFF gives the Arizona Cardinals a suggestion to add a very talented cornerback.
The offseason is here for the Arizona Cardinals and they have some needs. If you want a sneak peek of the newest Rise Up, See Red Podcast which will drop on Sunday morning, the position we are back to talk about is not among their biggest needs.
In fact, PFF gave out one free agent each team should pursue and has the Arizona Cardinals going after an excellent football player, but one that doesn’t seem to be at the top of their needs list.

Much of the team’s offensive talent is returning but a trio of key signings could make a splash
Today we take an in-depth look at the Cardinals’ off-season needs and predict what GM Monti Ossenfort could do to make the NFL’s 11th ranked offense stronger.
Note: I am of the belief that for the Cardinals this off-season, it will be significantly easier to attract offensive UFAs than defensive ones —- the major reason is the number of highly popular defensive-minded head coaches and, as is the case with Mike Vrable and Dan Quinn, tons of cap space to work with....

The Arizona Cardinals add some beef into their interior offensive line in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock draft.
As Mock Drafts come and go the guy who started the draft industry complex, Mel Kiper Jr. is one we will always check in on.
Mel dropped his 2025 NFL Mock Draft 1.0 today and he has the Arizona Cardinals beefing up their interior offensive line

Here are a few QBs beyond Kyler Murray who appear to fit the Petzing system QB profile
Last off-season, in what appeared to be a surprising move, Monti Ossenfort traded WR Rondale Moore to the Falcons for QB Desmond Ridder. This gave the Cardinals a backup QB in Ridder with a career 8-9 record as a starter.
I wondered at the time whether the coaches had lost some faith in 2nd-year 2023 5th round draft pick Clayton Tune. When fans were already proclaiming Ridder as the sure-fire QB2, I issued a “not so fast” caveat, because after studying Clayton Tune’s...

The Chicago bears have their man, and it is not the Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator.
The Arizona Cardinals will for the most part, run it back in 2025.
The Chicago Bears have hired Ben Johnson to be their new Head Coach, and in doing so have moved on from Drew Petzing as a candidate.
That means, with no other interviews in the books or lined up, that Petzing will return as offensive coordinator in 2025.
That is not a surprise, while Petzing has done a nice job, he has two years of experience and Johnson has three. Johnson improved from...

Who is the breakout candidate for the Arizona Cardinals?
Happy Monday one and all.
We will have an open thread for the College Football National Championship game, with some names to watch, but the Arizona Cardinals have one player they need to step up, because they’ve been waiting on him for nearly two years.
B.J. Ojluari has dealt with a plethora of injuries in his short two seasons, but PFF has him as a breakout candidate for 2025.
From PFF:
Arizona Cardinals: EDGE BJ Ojulari
