It’s no secret that Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians loves to throw the ball. His offense is known for its big plays, lengthy passes downfield that allow the squad to score in a hurry.
But since Arians implemented his scheme in 2013, the tight end position has been ignored. It hasn’t been ignored in the run game, as the tight ends are regularly given blocking assignments. But as part of the passing game, they’ve had very little impact.
Jermaine Gresham is trying to change all that. The seven-year pro has caught fire lately, scoring a touchdown in each of the last two games.
