Evaluations of the Cardinals’ Personnel and Schemes (in the aftermath of 2 bad losses)

Coach Steve Wilks—-in your post-game presser you vowed to evaluate the personnel and the schemes—-here are some thoughts.

As a teacher, when the majority of your students are failing the tests, you have to ask yourself what you and the students are doing wrong. It all starts with the teaching—-and the teacher’s expectations.

Let’s start with schemes.

Offense:

  • Establishing the run. As you have seen, it’s not so simple when teams are loading the box on you and you are doing nothing to back the defense off.
  • Throwing underneath the sticks on 3rd downs.
