Inside LB, outside guy, even moved him to Safety periodically. He's essentially a good football player with a good athletic profile....but without a true home position and a clear role. Kind of the classic "tweener" which is a little funny because they just took Isaiah Simmons who is a supreme athlete and will be played at OLB in AZ....but has some "tweener" aspects to him as a Safety. Reddick has also had 3 head coaches in 3 years (Arians, Wilks, and now Kingsbury)....and the Cardinals switched to 3-4 under Vance Joseph last year. My personal opinion is that his first few years are EXACTLY what you'd design if you wanted to confuse and ruin a player who already wasn't a clear fit for a particular position. Imagine having 3 head coaches, two systems (3-4, 4-3) and playing 3 different positions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I wonder if these number ones bombing - or at least not being worth their options - has anything to do with the trend of college players getting drafted their junior years rather than senior years. It's not approaching the NCAA basketball "one and done" talent depletion levels, but maybe some of these juniors look better because they are playing fewer seniors, and look good playing other teenagers instead of grown men. Then they get to the NFL, playing against grown ups, with one less year of experience and personal physical growth to boot. Perhaps some never catch up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Man. I wish they had a fifth year option clause in the NBA CBA. it would make being a fan so much more easier to stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
