PHINKING: first off, the only thing b.s. is your post. I LIVE IN ARIZONA and the right side of the line is in question and most wanted it upgraded, even expected it. but, like us, they were to far back in the draft to launch a trade that wouldnt cost them a good part of their draft.
this is what was mentioned on the BLEACHER REPORT breaking down their roster after the draft.
second, if you know the cards player so well and your finger is on the pulse of their team as you portray, why couldnt you at least got his NAME RIGHT!! its bobby MASSIE not bobby MATTIE. and dont give us the typo excuse as s is not next to t on the keyboard.
like us last year, not only are some of the starters shaky but the bench sucked to. part of the cards draft was getting more o-line. i love it when fans know exactly what teams are going to do accept their own. and i havnt seen one thing from the fins saying they were sure az was going to take james. the hickey haters have been spouting it and people are taking it as gold. the cards absolutely could have taken him. and SEVERAL TEAMS could have nabbed him before we chose again at #19. teams always draft players people didnt suspect they were going to.
the biggest point is, ju'wan james fit the scheme to the tee and losing him would have put a major dent in the finz plan to improve the line with players who fit the zbs AND were good players. after james, there were guys who fit the power scheme and not the zbs we needed. this choice and staying put at #19 did NOT hinge on the cards but the chance of being selected before we we chose again in the 2nd. and he absolutely would have been gone. hickey did the smart thing and this line is looking real good right now.
ireland never did go with any plan. he grasped at straws. thats why the line hasnt gelled, to many square pegs forced into round holes. hickey made sure the rebuild started with players who absolutely fit the scheme.
your just wrong. plain and simply wrong!!
