The Arizona Cardinals coaching staff are the only losers from their 16-14 loss to the Bears from laiyongcai92's blog

 The Arizona Cardinals sit at 0-3 after their 16-14 defeat to the Chicago Bears.It was a completely predictable result based on what Sam Bradford and the offense had shown through two games.Despite jumping out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter over the Bears Youth Andre Smith Jersey , the Cardinals offense was mostly stagnant.It seemed like the time was ripe after the first half to make the move to Josh Rosen, but it was the first signs of any offensive success, the 14 points, for the Cardinals in 2018, so not making the move was fine.Well, the offense continued to put the defense in bad positions and eventually, it caught up to them.After the third Sam Bradford turnover, the Bears held a 16-14 lead.It seemed hopeless.And, maybe that’s because with this coaching staff of the Arizona Cardinals, it is.This is not to say Steve Wilks and Al Holcomb cannot grow into their respective positions. We saw massive improvements defensively today http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/andy-lee-jersey-cheap , with Robert Nkemdiche continuing to grow into the player they drafted in the first round.However, with the defense, the continued play of Gerald Hodges and Tre Boston over their young linebackers in Haason Reddick and Deone Bucannon, brings to surface their decision making. It also brings up whether or not this is the staff to coach up young players at linebacker such as Bucannon and Reddick, or whether or not the Cardinals will be drafting another linebacker prospect early.The other question you have for Wilks is... why then and there for Josh Rosen?Sure Sam Bradford is not going to win you that game, but putting Rosen in at that juncture seems like an impossible situation for a rookie to get his first live NFL action. Of course, Wilks, like the rest of us had seen enough of Bradford at that point, but with four minutes to go, it just didn’t make much sense.The one indefensible coaching decision and person who doesn’t need to be in this coaching staff any longer is Mike McCoy.McCoy’s lack of ability as a play caller has been discussed more than anything non-Sam Bradford related on this site Youth Budda Baker Jersey , and it reared its ugly head again in the Cardinals loss to the Bears.However, it was his decision to leave David Johnson on the sidelines, and go with running back Chase Edmonds on the pivotal third and two play coming off the two minute warning.It went for a three yard loss and of course Rosen would throw an interception on the next play and it was academic after that.The call to Edmonds is what it is, the execution was poor from the offensive line. However, not having Johnson on the field, to be something the Bears have to think about, is what is completely inexcusable and in the end should be one of the last decisions McCoy gets to make in Arizona.Call it an overreaction, but McCoy should not have much to do with Rosen’s development and he should be gone moving forward.I’m not ready to call it on Steve Wilks, but the longer McCoy is on the staff, the harder it will be to defend him.Darian Thompson looking to future Cheap Christian Kirk Jersey , but could have impact on the present The NFL is a fickle business, and who you know and who has vouched for you before can go a long ways in helping you stick on a roster.Darian Thompson, the former third round pick for the New York Giants, is a perfect example.The Cardinals recently signed Thompson to a practice squad contract, likely because of defensive backs coach David Merritt’s familiarity with Thompson.Merritt was the DB coach for the Giants when Thompson was drafted and helped him have a nice sophomore campaign in New York.Thompson started all 16 games in 2017, finishing with 75 tackles, six pass deflections, and an interception.This is the type of long vision play that makes sense for a team like the Cardinals.They have three safeties who deserve playing time on the active roster, but two of those players, Tre Boston and Antoine Bethea are closer to the end of their time with Arizona than they are the beginning.Boston was a late signing to a one-year contract and Bethea has one year left on his initial three-year deal Youth Robert Nkemdiche Jersey , but he’ll be 35 next year.So, what do you do?Get a player that could be a potential contributor next year, now and start to see if he is a viable option.If he is, he could even start to see some small playing time down the line in 2018 as he gets back into football shape.If he doesn’t, well you bring someone else in and start over again.It is a process that makes sense, especially at a position where the immediate does not have many questions, but the future does.
